Technology in interpreter education and training
Authors: Defrancq Bart 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Technology is coming to interpreting but are we
preparing students and professionals well enough to the technological turn?
This chapter argues in favour of a structured academic approach to the
integration of interpreting technology in education and training. The
approach is based on a definition of technological competence based on
knowledge, skills, and personal, social and methodological abilities. It
demonstrates how training programmes can empower trainees, promote digital
equality and an ethical stance in the face of technological advances.

Authors: Han Yang , Bai Tianyu 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Media Representations of Macau’s Gaming Industry in Greater China, written by Yuxi Wu, adopts a corpus-based critical discourse analysis method to compare newspaper media representations of Macau’s gaming industry in 2014 in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, and Macau, the three regions of China with different historical backgrounds, economic conditions, political systems, and social norms. The topical preferences, attitudinal differences and ideological stances of English-language newspapers published in these three regions are revealed in this research.
Lexical development in a third language
Authors: Lindqvist Christina 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In this chapter, I discuss lexical
development in third language (L3) acquisition.
One of the most researched aspects within this area is
cross-linguistic influence (CLI), that is the
role of previously acquired languages, the first and/or
second language (L1 and L2), on the learning and use of the
L3. While much research has been carried out on learners at
beginner’s level, there are also many studies on learners at
intermediate and advanced levels. Such studies allow for an
examination of lexical development beyond the initial
state. This chapter presents an overview of the
main results and accounts for the ways in which previously
acquired languages affect lexical development in the L3. The
overview shows that overall, lexical CLI tends to diminish
as proficiency in the L3 increases. However, when making a
distinction between formal and meaning-based
CLI, a more complex pattern emerges, with
meaning-based CLI tending to occur more at later stages of
acquisition. Finally, some L3 studies indicate that learners
take advantage of both their L1 and their L2 when taking
vocabulary tests; this lends support to the hypothesis of a
cognate advantage found in L2 research.
Gauging sensitivity to grammaticality violations of
adpositional phrases
Authors: Cabuk-Balli Sakine 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Research on transfer in
third language acquisition mostly centers around
early stages of development, and little is known on processing after the initial state.
This study explores processing of
prepositions in L3 English to
examine sensitivity to violations of grammaticality
as a function of cross-linguistic
similarity in the L3 development process. The
study aims to investigate whether two groups of subjects
(L1-Kurdish/L2-Turkish L3
learners of English and L1-Turkish L2 learners of English)
are sensitive to violations of grammaticality in the processing of English prepositions
at an intermediate level of proficiency and whether they can
access implicit knowledge of prepositions
during real-time processing in
a self-paced reading task. Bayesian multilevel
analyses were carried out to estimate
potential sensitivity to violations. Results suggest that L3
learners are sensitive to violations of grammaticality
in conditions in which ungrammatical items were presented as
their L1 shares structural similarities with the adpositional system of English. Such
sensitivity was not found in the L2 learner group whose L1
does not have any structural overlaps with the adpositional
system of English. For L3 learners, reading times in the
critical region were slower when the sentence cued a
violation rather than when it did not. Slower reading times
to violations spilled over onto the post-critical region. In
addition to online sensitivity, post-sentence grammaticality
judgements were also indicative of sensitivity to grammaticality violations by L3 learners.
Overall results suggest that performance differences between
the two groups can be explained by structural similarities
and typological proximity between the L3 and the L1 of the
trilingual group. Only L3 participants whose
L1 has prepositions as part of its adpositional
system seemed to be sensitive to the grammaticality
violations online, and thus, could be argued to
benefit from the facilitation of cross-linguistic
similarity.
Property-by-property transfer in L3 Italian
Authors: Gallardo Martine , Montrul Silvina 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
According to the Linguistic
Proximity Model (Westergaard et al.,
2017), linguistic structure is the chief factor
which conditions transfer on a property-by-property basis in L3
acquisition. The present study examined the
predictions of this model in the L2 and L3 acquisition of
Italian by Spanish- and
English-speaking L2 and L3 learners. The
structures of interest were dative experiencer psych verbs
and animate specific direct objects. Crucially, dative
experiencer psych verbs from the
piacere/gustar “like”
class are similar in Italian and Spanish in that they cannot
be passivized; these same verbs have nominative experiencers
and can be passivized in English. Italian and English both
lack Differential Object Marking (DOM), which is
instantiated in Spanish, meaning that objects which are both
animate and specific are morphologically marked. In this
way, the language selected for transfer could be precisely
identified. Results, overall, from a written acceptability judgment task found that the L3
groups transferred from distinct previously acquired
languages, either their L1 or L2 (English and
Spanish), to different extents for the two
main properties tested, supporting the validity of the
Linguistic
Proximity Model and property-by-property transfer as a post
initial state theoretical model of L3
interlanguage development.
Between green extractivism and energy justice: competing strategies in South Africa’s hydrogen transition in the context of climate crisis
Authors: Kalt Tobias , Simon Jenny , Tunn Johanna , Hennig Jesko 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACTThe global race for green hydrogen is not just about decarbonisation, but also about power and profit. Examining the formation of a political project around an emerging hydrogen economy in South Africa, this article shows that a hydrogen transition is fundamentally contested. Employing (neo-)Gramscian hegemony theory and historical materialist policy analysis, it delineates four competing hydrogen initiatives in the policy debate: green extractivism, green developmentalism, fossilism and energy justice. The findings indicate the dominance of green extractivism, which prioritises the export of green hydrogen to Europe and reproduces patterns of neocolonialism and unequal ecological exchange. Contestations arise both from reactionary forces clinging to fossil fuels as well as from initiatives pursuing justice-centred transitions through green developmentalism and energy justice. This study contributes to the debate on justice in the global energy transition by highlighting alternative transition pathways in the global South that challenge green extractivism through sovereign industrial development and energy justice.
Second-order teleparallel gauge theory
Authors: Assencio E M B , Caraça R S , Vilhena S G , Pompeia P J 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn this work, we analyze second-order extensions of teleparallel theories of gravity as gauge theories for the translation group. We use Utiyama’s approach to gauge theories and show that it is possible to include second-order derivative terms in the Lagrangian of the gauge potential and preserve gauge invariance. Besides the usual field strength, a new object has to be introduced in order to preserve both gauge and diffeomorphism invariances. From this new object, we obtain a set of fourteen independent invariants which leads to equations that are linear in the fourth derivative of the tetrad field. We analyze a particular example with one of these invariants and evaluate the weak field limit, showing that the effective gravitational potential is a combination of Newton and Yukawa potentials.
Spectral and electric diagnostics of low-current arc plasmas in CO2 with N2 and H2O admixtures
Authors: Becerra Marley , Nilsson Janne , Franke Steffen , Breitkopf Cornelia , André Pascal 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Plasma diagnostics is a key tool to support the further development of plasma-induced chemical conversion of greenhouse gases (such as CO2) into high-value chemicals. For this reason, spectroscopic and electric measurements of low current (below 1.7 A), stationary arc plasmas in CO2 at atmospheric pressure with addition of N2 or H2O are reported. High-speed photography, imaging emission spectroscopy and time-resolved electrical measurements are used to obtain time-space resolved gas temperatures as well as the electric-field current characteristics of the discharge. It is found that the lowest average electric field in a CO2 arc plasma at atmospheric pressure is ∼20 kV mm−1 at a current between 0.8 and 1 A. If the current decreases below this level, the arc remains in vibrational–translational (VT) equilibrium by increasing the electric field. However, VT equilibrium conditions can be only maintained until a threshold minimum current of 0.33 ± 0.05 A, at which the arc transitions into a non-equilibrium condition with further increasing electric fields (reaching 68 ± 15 V mm−1 at 0.03 A). The addition of N2 or H2O did not influence the electrical characteristics of the CO2 arc within to the tested mixtures. However, there is only a significant decrease in the electric field of the formed transition arcs and the threshold minimum current in the presence of N2. The spectra of the low-current CO2 arc is found to be dominated by emission from the C2 Swan band system and the O I 777 nm triplet peak. However, the CN band dominates the spectra even when small amounts (0.5 wt%) of N2 is present in the plasma. The gas temperature at the axis of the CO2 arc plasma decreased slightly with decreasing current, from an estimated 7000 K at 1 A down to 6300 K at 0.4 A. The thermal radius of the arc is estimated to be larger than 1.2 mm, more than two times larger than the optical radius obtained from the emitted radiation. The addition of N2 and H2O (up to 7 and 9 wt% respectively) lead to only to a 500 K decrease in the axial arc temperature.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
In two-dimensional (2D) scale, controllable topological phase transition between a conventional topological quantum state and a higher-order one has been a challenge currently. Herein, based on first-principles, we report 2D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are ideal choice for realizing such topological phase transition. Taking MOF candidate Pd3(C6S6)2 as an example, a semimetallic band structure is present at the equilibrium state. Under moderate compressive strain, it features a nontrivial energy gap and corner states, which is evidenced as a second-order topological insulator (SOTI). In addition, the band order for its low-energy bands switches at moderate tensile strain, during which topological phase transition from SOTI and topological semimetal to double Weyl semimetal (DWSM) happens, accompanied by the change in real Chern number form

. At the critical point for the phase transition, the system can be characterized as a 2D pseudospin-1 fermion. Beside Pd3(C6S6)2, we further identify the ferromagnetic monolayer Fe3(C6S6)2 can also take the DWSM-to-SOTI phase transition, where the topological fermions and corresponding edge/corner states could be fully spin-polarized. This work has for the first time realized topological transition between conventional topological quantum state and a higher-order one in both nonmagnetic and magnetic MOFs.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) p–n heterojunctions have attracted great attention due to their outstanding properties in electronic and optoelectronic devices, especially in photodetectors. Various types of heterojunctions have been constituted by mechanical exfoliation and stacking. However, achieving controlled growth of heterojunction structures remains a tremendous challenge. Here, we employed a two-step KI-assisted confined-space chemical vapor deposition method to prepare multilayer WSe2/SnS2 p–n heterojunctions. Optical characterization results revealed that the prepared WSe2/SnS2 vertical heterostructures have clear interfaces as well as vertical heterostructures. The electrical and optoelectronic properties were investigated by constructing the corresponding heterojunction devices, which exhibited good rectification characteristics and obtained a high detectivity of 7.85 × 1012 Jones and a photoresponse of 227.3 A W−1 under visible light irradiation, as well as a fast rise/fall time of 166/440 μs. These remarkable performances are likely attributed to the ultra-low dark current generated in the depletion region at the junction and the high direct tunneling current during illumination. This work demonstrates the value of multilayer WSe2/SnS2 heterojunctions for applications in high-performance photodetectors.
Gray skyhook predictive control of magnetorheological semi-active seat suspension with time delay

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Semi-active seat suspension with a magnetorheological (MR) damper has been a popular study issue in recent years. Since the response time delay of the MR damper can reduce the control effect and even make the vibration more severe, there is an urgent need to compensate for the response time delay. In this paper, gray prediction is introduced into the vibration control study of commercial vehicle seat suspension. A gray skyhook prediction controller is designed to compensate for the response time delay. This proposed controller does not rely heavily on controller parameter optimization and requires fewer state variables than other typical time delay compensation controllers. The mechanical property of the MR damper has been tested, modeled, and analyzed. A seat suspension dynamic model considering geometric nonlinearity is established based on the motion relationship between the components of the suspension. Subsequently, the effect of the response time delay on seat suspension vibration control has been verified by simulation. The results show that the control effect deteriorates significantly after considering the response time delay. Finally, prediction accuracy and vibration reduction performance of the designed gray skyhook predictive controller are verified by simulation and bench testing. The results illustrate that the gray skyhook predictive controller provides excellent time delay compensation and can significantly improve the ride comfort and handling stability of the driver. This study provides a reference for vibration control research of the MR seat suspension.
Analysis on the symmetric fast-slow behaviors in a van der Pol-Duffing-Jerk oscillator

Published: September 2023

Abstract
The study of bursting oscillations induced by frequency-domain multiscale effect is one of the key scientific issues in the theoretical analysis of circuit systems. In this paper, we explore the mechanism of the bursting oscillations of a van der Pol-Duffing-Jerk circuit oscillator with slow-changing parametric and external periodic excitations. Three typical bursting modes, namely, left-right symmetric ‘subHopf/fold limit cycle’ bursting, origin symmetric ‘fold/fold limit cycle’ bursting and origin symmetric ‘fold/subHopf/fold limit cycle’ bursting, are presented. The slowly changing excitation is treated as a generalized state variable to analyze the influence on the critical manifolds of the equilibria and bifurcations. The critical conditions of fold and Hopf bifurcations are computed by using the bifurcation theory, and two typical bifurcation structures are obtained according to the position of different bifurcation curves. Based on the bifurcation analysis, we investigate the appearance and dynamicalal evolutions of the different bursting oscillations with the variation of the external excitation amplitude. It is pointed that not only the bifurcation structures but also the distance between the fold and Hopf bifurcation points can affect the bursting patterns. We find the directions of the trajectories and the bursting types are sensitive to the values of the external excitation amplitude. Furthermore, we reveal the mechanism of the bursting oscillations by overlapping the trajectories on (θ, x)-plane onto the corresponding bifurcation structures. Numerical simulations are also presented to prove the correctness of the theoretical analysis in our study.

theory. For this, the anisotropic fluid distribution is considered as a seed source that is extended through the inclusion of a new gravitational source. The influence of the later matter configuration is controlled by the decoupling parameter. We formulate the field equations corresponding to the total matter source that are then decoupled into two distinct sets by implementing a transformation only on the radial metric coefficient. Both of these under-determined sets correspond to their parent sources. Some well-behaved forms of the metric potentials are taken into account to deal with the first set of equations. On the other hand, we solve the second set corresponding to an additional source by taking different constraints on the matter sector. We then consider the radius and mass of a compact star 4U 1820 − 30 to analyze the physical feasibility of the resulting solutions for a particular modified model. It is concluded that our resulting solutions show stable behavior for certain values of the decoupling parameter and charge.
Structural, ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, and bio-medical behaviour of yttrium doped strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12-xYxO19) nano materials, assisted with sol-gel cost effective technique

Abstract
Rare earth Yttrium (Y3+) substituted strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12-xYxO19) with X = (0.25–1.0), is synthesized using an economical and chemical-based sol–gel technique. The reflected planes in the XRD patterns justify that samples possessed hexagonal symmetry (P63/mmc space group). Crystallite size and strain calculations for SrFe12-xYxO19 samples were performed with a W-H plot. Lattice constants change minutely but regularly with Y3+ composition. The morphological structure of the sample SrFe12O19, SrFe11.50Y0.50O19, and SrFe11Y1O19 have been visualized from SEM micrographs, which reveal hexagonal crystal symmetry, possessing agglomeration with an average particle size of 49.84 nm, 73 nm, and 39.66 nm respectively. TEM, HRTEM, and SAED have been performed for confirming the lattice fringe distance, the grain size of nanoparticles (NPs), and diffraction planes. Grain size is 44.15 nm and 37.27 nm for X = 0.00 and X = 1.0 composition of Y3+. Raman spectral pattern exhibited that all the peak of the synthesized sample is indexed to Raman vibration modes and strontium hexaferrite (SHF) structure. FTIR analysis supports the stretching of metal-oxygen bonding and helps to find the force constant, bond length, and functional group of samples. The highest luminescent peak is observed at 481 nm, using the PL spectrum. Using UV-Visible spectroscopy direct band gap (Eg) of the synthesized sample was evaluated and is found to decrease from 2.3 eV-1.93 eV with Y3+ concentration. With an increase in the composition of non-magnetic ions of Y3+, Ms and Mr parameters decrease systematically. In contrast, the coercivity value increases drastically from 5983–6595 Oe and is one of the novel works of this report. The occupancy of Y3+ ions in SrFe12-xYxO19 lattice obstructs electrical leakage to generate remnant polarization (Pr) and coercive polarization (Pc) of values 25.45 μC cm−2 and 2.91 kV cm−1 respectively. Moreover, cytotoxicity assay reveals that at lower concentrations up to 250 μg ml−1, the synthesized material SrFe12-xYxO19 for X = 0.00 and X = 1.0 promotes the growth of cell and hence represents non-toxic and biocompatible behavior with cell. Hence anticipation can be made that it may be used for biological and biomedical applications such as bone replacement, magnetic drug delivery, and coating on metal implants. Thus, improved physical properties of Y3+ doped SHF nanomaterials pave the way for promising optical, magnetic, electrical, biological, and biomedical applications.
Study on the physical and chemical properties of dimethyl sulfoxide under the external electric field

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a versatile solvent used in many fields such as medicine and organic synthesis, whereas it is poisonous and harmful to human health. Physical and chemical properties, including bond length, dipole moment, total energy, frontier orbital energy, infrared absorption spectrum as well as the Raman spectrum of the DMSO molecule under an external electric field ranging from 0 to 0.03 atomic units were calculated by using the density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP/6-311G++(2d, p) basis set. According to the calculation, it has been found that as the external electric field increases, the two strongest infrared absorption peaks redshift and change in intensity. At the same time, a distinct new characteristic peak emerges in the Raman spectrum when the electric field is applied. Moreover, the Raman characteristic lines of DMSO were detected based on a self-designed Raman spectrometer. The potential energy curves under the increasing electric field were obtained by scanning the single-point energy along the S=O bond with the method B3LYP/6-311G (d, p). By fitting a linear curve between the potential barrier and the electric field, the intensity of the field corresponding to the zero potential barrier was computed. The results provide important theoretical references for further research about the DMSO’s physical and chemical properties and indicate that the structure and properties of molecules change significantly under an external electric field.
