Photochemical renoxification on commercial indoor photoactive paint
Authors: Vallieres Morgan , Jones Stephanie H. , Schwartz-Narbonne Heather , Donaldson D. James 
Published: October 2023

AbstractSurface chemistry plays an important role in the indoor environment owing to the large indoor surface to volume ratio. This study explores the photoreactivity of surfaces painted with a photoactive paint in the presence of NOx. Two types of experiments are performed; illumination of painted surfaces with a nitrate deposit and illumination of painted surfaces in the presence of gaseous NO. For both types of experiments, illumination with a fluorescent bulb causes the greatest change in measured gaseous NOx concentrations. Results show that relative humidity and paint composition play an important role in the photoreactivity of indoor painted surfaces. Painted surfaces could contribute to gas-phase oxidant concentrations indoors.

AbstractMost of countries around the world tends to increases the penetration of renewable energies generation in electrical power networks. This led to the emergence of many challenges in these systems, such as congestion of lines, voltage instability, etc. The most important of these problems is the spillage of renewable energies in order to maintain the stability of the power system. However, by using the traditional methods to mitigate the spillage, the stability of the power system may be deteriorated leading to a vulnerable power system against disturbances. This paper proposes a bilevel multi-objective Musical Chairs optimization algorithm for optimal allocation of multi-type flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices. The main target of the upper-level is to reduce the wind power spillage with minimize the investment cost of FACTS devices and load shedding, while maximize the voltage stability. Moreover, under different operating scenarios, the lower-level problem captured the market clearing with maintain the system constraints for maximize the social welfare. This leads to a robust and economical operating point where included enough levels of voltage security. The technique proposed in this paper is tested on the IEEE 24-bus modified reliability test system. The results show that the applicability of the proposed algorithm in aiding power system improvement planning for minimizing wind power spillage to integrate wind energy with maximizing the social welfare and improving the loadability and the voltage stability.

AbstractThe study aimed to compare two substrates, soil and deadwood, for the regeneration of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) seedlings. Three-year-old fir seedlings growing both on deadwood and in the soil were collected. The examination involved determining the physical, chemical, and biochemical properties of soil and deadwood, as well as assessing the morphology of the roots and the nutrition of seedlings growing on the soil and deadwood. The examined substrates differed in physical, chemical and biochemical properties. It was shown that strongly decomposed fir logs are a good substrate for the growth of fir seedlings, mainly due to the high content of exchangeable cations (especially calcium, magnesium and potassium) and high phosphorus and nitrogen content. The type of substrate had a significant impact on the root morphology of fir seedlings. In our study, the most responsive root traits to differences in growing substrates were specific root area (SRA) and specific root length (SRL). Our analyses did not confirm significant differences in the stoichiometry of C, N and P in the roots and needles of seedlings grown on different substrates. The stoichiometry of roots and needles suggests no limitations in the uptake of nutrients by seedlings growing on deadwood. This study validated that heavily decomposed wood can provide favourable microhabitats for the growth of the young generation of fir.

AbstractThe physicochemical and structural properties of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) determine their mechanism of action and biological function. However, the development of AMPs as therapeutic drugs has been traditionally limited by their toxicity for human cells. Tuning the physicochemical properties of such molecules may abolish toxicity and yield synthetic molecules displaying optimal safety profiles and enhanced antimicrobial activity. Here, natural peptides were modified to improve their activity by the hybridization of sequences from two different active peptide sequences. Hybrid AMPs (hAMPs) were generated by combining the amphipathic faces of the highly toxic peptide VmCT1, derived from scorpion venom, with parts of four other naturally occurring peptides having high antimicrobial activity and low toxicity against human cells. This strategy led to the design of seven synthetic bioactive variants, all of which preserved their structure and presented increased antimicrobial activity (3.1–128 μmol L−1). Five of the peptides (three being hAMPs) presented high antiplasmodial at 0.8 μmol L−1, and virtually no undesired toxic effects against red blood cells. In sum, we demonstrate that peptide hybridization is an effective strategy for redirecting biological activity to generate novel bioactive molecules with desired properties.

AbstractThe ability to generalize well is one of the primary desiderata for models of natural language processing (NLP), but what ‘good generalization’ entails and how it should be evaluated is not well understood. In this Analysis we present a taxonomy for characterizing and understanding generalization research in NLP. The proposed taxonomy is based on an extensive literature review and contains five axes along which generalization studies can differ: their main motivation, the type of generalization they aim to solve, the type of data shift they consider, the source by which this data shift originated, and the locus of the shift within the NLP modelling pipeline. We use our taxonomy to classify over 700 experiments, and we use the results to present an in-depth analysis that maps out the current state of generalization research in NLP and make recommendations for which areas deserve attention in the future.

Published: October 2023

AbstractA spectrum of control methods in human–robot interaction was investigated, ranging from direct control to telepresence with a virtual representation of the robot arm. A total of 24 participants used a setup that included a Franka Emika Panda robot arm, Varjo XR‐3 head‐mounted display, and Leap Motion Controller. Participants performed a box‐and‐block task using the bare hand (A), and under five gesture‐controlled robotic operation methods: direct sight (B), sight via video‐feedthrough (C), in a 3D telepresence environment with (D) and without (E) virtual representation of the robot arm, and using a 2D video feed (F). The number of grabbing attempts did not differ significantly between conditions, but local operation (B & C) yielded more transferred blocks than teleoperation (D–F). Teleoperation using a 3D presentation was advantageous compared to teleoperation using a 2D video feed, as demonstrated by lower peak forces and smaller range in gripper heights in conditions D and E compared to condition F, a finding supported by analyses of the head movement activity. Finally, the bare hand yielded the best performance and subjective ratings. In summary, teleoperation using a 3D presentation provided a smoother interaction than teleoperation with a 2D video feed. However, direct human interaction remains a benchmark yet to surpass.
A fuse‐based DC circuit breaker with vacuum interrupter enhanced by an external transverse magnetic field

Published: October 2023

AbstractDue to the increasing power system capacity, the interruption of large fault currents has gradually become a major challenge in power systems. At the moment, such currents are interrupted mainly via circuit breakers based on the method of active current commutation. However, these types of circuit breakers tend to be costly and oversized. One possible alternative—a fuse‐based circuit breaker with current commutation process enhanced by an external transverse magnetic field (ETMF)—is proposed by the authors. Its main advantage lies in the fast current commutation achieved by an ETMF‐enhanced three‐stage increase of the vacuum arc voltage. The study of the current commutation process is mainly represented by the authors, and the influencing factors of the current commutation—contact opening speed and ETMF current—are discussed. At last, the proposed circuit breaker is verified by an experiment, whose results show that a short‐circuit current of 42 kA can be interrupted within just 2 ms.

The impacts of high-speed railway on environmental sustainability: quasi-experimental evidence from China
Authors: Shen Qiong , Pan Yuxi , Feng Yanchao 
Published: October 2023

AbstractWith growing concerns over resource depletion and environmental degradation, the role of high-speed railways in fostering a transition towards sustainable energy sources has gained prominence. Against this background, we treat the opening of high-speed railways as a quasi-natural study, analyze data from Chinese industrial enterprises and 285 prefecture-level cities to investigate the impact of high-speed railways on environmental sustainability, specifically focusing on fossil fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Our results unequivocally demonstrate that the introduction of high-speed railways has been instrumental in promoting eco-friendly development, as evidenced by a notable reduction in traditional resource consumption and carbon emissions along the railway routes. This inhibitory effect has strengthened over time and with increasing distance from the railway. Additionally, we identify significant spatial spillover and spatial conduction effects resulting from high-speed railway operations. Heterogeneity tests reveal that third-tier cities, non-megacities, and mature resource-based cities are particularly receptive to these sustainable impacts. Besides, Mechanism analysis suggests that accelerated elements flow, enhanced technological innovation, improved labor productivity, and upgrading of industrial structure serve as potential pathways leading to eco-sustainability. These findings highlight the environmentally friendly attributes of high-speed railways and underscore the pressing need for effective policy measures to facilitate a global transition towards renewable energy, both in China and worldwide.

Planar superconducting microwave transmission line resonators can be operated at multiple harmonic resonance frequencies. This allows covering wide spectral regimes with high sensitivity, as it is desired, e.g., for cryogenic microwave spectroscopy. A common complication of such experiments is the presence of undesired “spurious” additional resonances, which are due to standing waves within the resonator substrate or housing box. Identifying the nature of individual resonances (“designed” vs “spurious”) can become challenging for higher frequencies or if elements with unknown material properties are included, as is common for microwave spectroscopy. Here, we discuss various experimental strategies to distinguish designed and spurious modes in coplanar superconducting resonators that are operated in a broad frequency range up to 20 GHz. These strategies include tracking resonance evolution as a function of temperature, magnetic field, and microwave power. We also demonstrate that local modification of the resonator, by applying minute amounts of dielectric or electron spin resonance-active materials, leads to characteristic signatures in the various resonance modes, depending on the local strength of the electric or magnetic microwave fields.

Published: October 2023

AbstractThis study explored the academic achievement of students who speak a minority language (ML) at home (i.e., a language other than the official languages of Canada, English and French) and who have special education needs (SEN), in two educational programs that differed in language of instruction: English language of instruction (ELoI), and Early French Immersion (EFI). The proportion of students (n =  131) meeting the provincial standard in reading, writing, and mathematics and the effect of gender, place of birth, socio-economic status, English proficiency level, and program were analyzed. Writing was the strongest domain, followed by reading and mathematics. ML-SEN students were equally likely to meet the provincial standard whether in ELoI or EFI, and there were few significant predictors of achievement. Participating in EFI did not increase students’ risk of academic difficulty. Additional supports may be beneficial to ML-SEN students in ELoI and EFI programs.

Abstract
The present work reports the chemical synthesis of NiFe2O4 (NFO) nanoparticles (NPs) and its use as a switching layer material in resistive switching (RS) devices. Various analytical techniques were used to confirm the phase, composition, and optical properties of the NFO NPs. With the support of the x-ray diffraction technique, crystal structure (cubic spinel) and crystallite size (20.12 nm) were determined. Field emission scanning electron microscopy confirmed the material morphology. Raman Spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy were applied to identify the NFO NPs functional groups. The Ag/NFO/fluorine-doped tin oxide device was fabricated, which shows bipolar RS with good endurance (104cycles) and retention (6 × 103 s) properties. Moreover, the device’s conduction and RS mechanisms were also carried out.
Interplays between classical and quantum entanglement-assisted communication scenarios
Authors: Vieira Carlos , de Gois Carlos , Pollyceno Lucas , Rabelo Rafael 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Prepare-and-measure scenarios (pm), in their many forms, can be seen as the basic building blocks of communication tasks. As such, they can be used to analyze a diversity of classical and quantum protocols—of which dense coding and random access codes are key examples—in a unified manner. In particular, the use of entanglement as a resource in pm scenarios have only recently started to be systematically investigated, and many crucial questions remain open. In this work, we explore such scenarios and provide answers to some seminal questions. More specifically, we show that, in scenarios where entanglement is a free resource, quantum messages are equivalent to classical ones with twice the capacity. We also prove that, in such scenarios, it is always advantageous for the parties to share entangled states of dimension greater than the transmitted message. Finally, we show that unsteerable states cannot provide advantages in classical communication tasks, thus proving that not all entangled states are useful resources in these scenarios.
Incompatibility of standard galaxy bias models in general relativity
Authors: Yoo Jaiyul 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The standard model for galaxy bias is built in a Newtonian framework, and several attempts
have been made in the past to put it in a relativistic framework. The focus of past works was,
however, to use the same Newtonian formulation, but to provide its interpretation in a
relativistic framework by either fixing a gauge condition or transforming to a local coordinate
system. Here we demonstrate that these reverse-engineered approaches do not respect the
diffeomorphism symmetry in general relativity, and we need to develop a covariant model of galaxy
bias that is diffeomorphism compatible. We consider a simple toy model for galaxy bias and discuss
the impact for measuring the primordial non-Gaussianity.
Design optimization of a Dual-Interlocked-Cell in 65 nm CMOS tolerant to Single Event Upsets
Authors: Márquez F. , Palomo F.R. , Muñoz F. , Fougeron D. , Menouni M. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Dual-Interlocked-Cell (DICE) latches are tolerant to Single
Event Effects (SEE) by design owing to intrinsic redundancy. In
nanometric technologies, as in the 65 nm scale, there are new SEE
vulnerabilities associated with charge sharing between nodes. Herein
we present a systematic analysis of the robustness against radiation
using a simulation software tool for analog and mixed-signal
circuits (AFTU) that emulates the possible effects generated by
particle impacts. In this paper, we evaluate the influence of SEE on
circuit performance using this tool as an RHbD assessment for
designers. An exhaustive study of the possible vulnerabilities of
the DICE architecture is performed, including an evaluation of the
proximity between critical nodes at the layout level. As a result,
we propose several modifications to the cell implementation to
optimize its robustness against Single Event Upsets (SEU). An
assortment of five designs with different variations of the original
DICE scheme was sent for fabrication on a new chip and tested under
ion beams, with promising results showing a clear improvement in the
SEU sensitivity of the cell. The best results come from a redesign
of the load circuitry to avoid a SET2SEU effect and full interleaved
layout to avoid charge sharing effects after a single event.

Authors: Widhiastuty N S , Anwar S , Rosyida  
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The goal of this study is to see how BAP and PVP concentrations affect in vitro teak shoot induction. The research was carried out at Diponegoro University’s Tissue Culture Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Agriculture, between April and June 2022. The research method was a 4x4 factorial design based on a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. The first factor was the concentration of PVP (mg.L-1): 0, 110, 220, and 330, and the second was the concentration of BAP (ppm): 0, 1.3, 2.6, and 3.9. Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) and orthogonal polynomials were used to test the data for variance. The interaction between the 0 mg.L-1 PVP treatment and the 110, 220, and 330 mg.L-1 PVP treatments after the addition of 2.6 ppm BAP had the quickest callus emergence time, with an average of 7 days. PVP treatments of 110 mg.L-1 and 220 mg.L-1 had a significant effect on the shoot length parameter. BAP concentrations of 1.3 and 2.6 ppm were found to increase the shoot length, number of shoots, and number of leaves response parameters. The 1.3 ppm BAP treatment also reduced browning by 17% in the explants. There was no effect of PVP or BAP treatments on shoot emergence time, leaf emergence time, or the percentage of explants that formed shoots.
Growth And Production of Lowland Rice Due to Soil Ameliorant Application on Andosol, Mediterranean And Alluvial Soil
Authors: Sumarsono  , Widjajanto D W , Sumekar W 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Lowland rice production and growth in Andosol, Mediterranean, and Alluvial soil types were observed in the study, both with and without amendments. The investigation was conducted using a plot experiment with a fully randomized design and three replications. L1: Andosol, L2: Mediterranean, and L3: Alluvial soil types made up the primary plots. Land amendments were divided into two subplots: R1 with no amendment and R2 with an amendment. Plant height, shoot and root dry weight, shoot:root ratio, and grain dry weight were the parameters measured. The findings demonstrated a significant (P<0.05) impact of the interaction effect of soil type amendment and bioslurry dose on the development and yield of three rice cultivars. Plant height, shoot dry weight, and grain dry weight with soil amendment were more significant (P<0.05) than without amendment, according to the interaction between soil type and amendment. The amendment application had little effect on the andosol soil. Alluvial soil types had the highest soil amendment response (P<0.05), followed by Mediterranean and Andosols. Based on the experimental findings, the soil enhancer formulation has been suggested for use in rice production, particularly in Mediterranean and Alluvial soils, although additional study is required to develop new formulations for Andosol soils.
