The Raised Index Finger gesture in Hebrew multimodal interaction
Authors: Inbar Anna 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe present study examines the roles that the gesture of the Raised Index Finger (RIF) plays in Hebrew multimodal interaction. The study reveals that the RIF is associated with diverse linguistic phenomena and tends to appear in contexts in which the speaker presents a message or speech act that violates the hearer’s expectations (based on either general knowledge or prior discourse). The study suggests that the RIF serves the function ofdiscourse deixis: Speakers point to their message, creating a referent in the extralinguistic context to which they refer as an object of their stance, evaluating the content of the utterance or speech act as unexpected by the hearer, and displaying epistemic authority. Setting up such a frame by which the information is to be interpreted provides the basis for a swifter update of the common ground in situations of (assumed) differences between the assumptions of the speaker and the hearer.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Despite some appreciable development of Medical Geology reported in various parts of the world, Africa and Asia are still developing. Indeed, there is substantial evidence to demonstrate that research in this area holds significant relevance for the African and Asian continents. Given the importance of geo-environmental materials, factors, and processes, including both geogenic and anthropogenic activities, as well as the consistently reported cases of diseases associated with such activities in Africa and Asia, it has become imperative to explore genuine relationships. This review delves into comprehensive studies on the impact of geological factors on human health. The geologic sources of contamination by toxic elements in the environment, which lead to human exposure through food and water, are examined closely. Recent case studies, research, and development (R&D) efforts undertaken by scholars, researchers, and government institutions are also thoroughly reviewed, with the aim of charting a course toward viable solutions. Furthermore, the discussion extends to raising awareness about the harmful effects of water contamination caused by toxic metals, such as arsenic and fluoride, and addressing mining hazards in Africa and Asia. The issue of exposure to toxic metals and metalloids, including lead and chromium (II), is also tackled. Recommendations are put forth emphasizing the necessity of synergy among medical scientists, geologists, geochemists, biochemists, and other stakeholders involved in environmental health studies. The importance of creating an environment conducive to brainstorming ideas that contribute to understanding the emergence of new pathologies, as well as the development of pertinent curricula for institutions in Africa and Asia, is also thoroughly discussed.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
The complex of cobalt(II) with iso-nicotinamide (intmd) was synthesized at a 1:1 mole ratio of metal to ligand. The complex formula obtained is [Co(intmd)2(H2O)2]Cl2.nH2O (n = 0 or 1). The Co(II)-intmd complex was characterized by UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS), Differential Thermal Analyzer (DTA), Conductivity meter, Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Magnetic Susceptibility Balance (MSB), and Powder X-Ray Diffraction. Thermal analysis showed the complex contained several hydrates. The electrical conductivity of the complex in aquades is 1:1, the complex is electrolyte. The infrared spectrum shows that C=O and -NH2 from intmd are coordinated with metal ion. The electronic spectra show two peaks indicating the transitions 4T1g(F) → 4T1g(P) (ν3) and 4T1g(F) → 4A2g(F) (ν2). The complex is paramagnetic with μeff = 5.31-5.44 BM. It is suggested that the Co(II)-intmd complex has an octahedral geometry and an orthorhombic crystal system.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
A solid-state reaction has been used to synthesize Cr1-xMnxSbSe3 samples with a concentration of 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1. The crystalline structure of the prepared samples was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns in a pure single phase. The magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic samples were determined using AC-Susceptibility instruments. Mn substitutions revealed non-monotonic changes in the transition temperature. The XRD patterns of all samples Cr1-xMnxSbSe3 indicate that the crystalline structure is orthorhombic. Moreover, the Mn substitutions did not appreciably change the lattice parameters in the prepared samples. The ac-susceptibility of all samples revealed a sharp first-order ferromagnetic transition at the Curie temperature Tc. The real part of AC susceptibility for all samples is normalized on temperature for various Mn concentrations. XRD and AC-susceptibility analyses agree with the other published work. The activation energy was obtained using the ac-susceptibility measurements at various frequencies.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Valorization of fly ash as zeolite is one of sustainable ways to reduce environmental burden. In this paper, zeolite was prepared from fly ash by hydrothermal process and applied as dyes adsorbent. In hydrothermal process, fly ash was reacted with 5 N NaOH solution using solid/liquid ratio of 1/30 for 15 hours at temperature of 85°C. Characterization of hydrothermal products consisted of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. The results indicated the formation of Na-X zeolite with higher surface area compared to raw fly ash. The obtained zeolite was applied as Eriochrome Black-T (EBT) dye adsorbent. Adsorption was conducted in batch process with variations in time and dye initial concentration. The adsorption efficiency would increase with increasing time, but after 90 minutes the adsorption efficiency would be relatively constant. The higher the dye initial concentration, the lower the adsorption efficiency. Furthermore, the study of adsorption kinetics model and adsorption isotherm model that had been carried out showed that adsorption process of EBT dye by zeolite from fly ash tended to follow pseudo-second order kinetics model and Freundlich isotherm model.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Modeling of carbon nanoparticle synthesis using the arc discharge method was created by simulation. In this research, the electrode shapes and gaps between them are varied. The electrode’s shape was modeled as pointy, blunt, and square, while the electrode’s gap was modeled as modified at 0.23 mm, 0.38 mm, and 0.57 mm. This research aims to analyze forms of distribution and generated nanoparticles by demonstrating how the difference in electrode design obtains the maximum value of electron density, electron temperature, and electric potential since the discharge process. The simulation results show that the variation in shape and gap between the electrodes affects the maximum value obtained.

Published: August 2023

AbstractSynthesis of silver nanoparticles was successfully synthesized by a chemical reduction method using silver nitrate (AgNO3) as a precursor and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing agent. The optical properties of silver nanoparticles were studied based on their surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon using UV-Visible spectrophotometry. The absorbance spectra of colloidal silver nanoparticles show the peak at the wavelength range of 380 nm to 450 nm. Colloidal silver nanoparticles have good stability after storage at room temperature.
Growth of Nanofibers Zinc Oxide on Porous Silicon Substrates using Electrospinning Method: Effect of Temperatures
Authors: Suryana R , Mustofa M A , Diantoro M 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Electrospinning successfully grew zinc oxide (ZnO) nanofibers onto porous silicon (PSi). The ZnO sprayed solution was prepared from the mixture of zinc acetate hydrate dissolved in distilled water and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) precursor with a ratio of 1:3 wt. %. The obtained ZnO fibers sample was subsequently annealed at RT, 100°C, 200°C, and 300°C. ZnO polycrystal with hexagonal wurtzite structure formed on PSi substrates at the orientation of (002), (102), and (110). SEM characterization revealed that the average diameter of fibers decreased with the increased annealing temperature due to the decomposition of the PVA and acetate groups. The ATR-FTIR spectral showed the presence of a metal oxide bond group owing to ZnO characteristics on the PSi surface.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Synthesis of polyaniline-polyanethole (PANI-PAN) composite has been successfully carried out by mixing method at room temperature using dichloromethane as solvent. PANI-PAN composites were reacted at 5%, 10%, and 15% polyanethole variations by weight of polyaniline. The synthesis results obtained were structure analyzed by FTIR and characterized by TGA, SEM-EDX, and conductivity. The synthesis of PANI-PAN composites from various variations resulted in the product being a grayish green solid. The success of the PANI-PAN composite synthesis was shown by the results of the FTIR analysis, namely the presence of a typical absorption between polyaniline and polyanethole in the PANI-PAN 5, 10, 15% (w/w) composite, respectively, is indicated by the presence of an amine group (-NH-) at a wavelengths of 3499.94 cm-1, 3457.55 cm-1, and 3506.74 cm-1 for polyaniline and ether groups (C-O-C) at wavelengths 1235.46 cm-1, 1244.14 cm-1, and 1242.21 cm-1 for polyanethole. The morphology of the PANI-PAN composite was performed using SEM-EDX showed the presence of cavity filling in the polyaniline indicated that there had been an even distribution between the polyanethole in the polyaniline. The results of thermal analysis showed an increase in thermal stability compared to polyaniline. The conductivity value of the PANI-PAN composite showed a better value than polyaniline and was optimal at 10 wt% variation.
Improvement of biocorrosion resistance on steel using full annealing heat treatment
Authors: Pratikno H , Titah H S 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The performance of a material structure can be affected due to corrosion damage. Corrosion is a decrease in metal quality caused by electrochemical reactions between metals and their surrounding environment. One of the causes of corrosion is microalgae or called biocorrosion. Corrosion can cause failure of the pipe structure which causes the pipe to not operate properly. The purpose of the research was to determine the corrosion rate of ASTM A53 steel material with full annealing heat treatment and without heat treatment. Second research aim was to determine the biocorrosion with added of microalgae and without the addition of microalgae. Heat treatment and non-heat treatment materials were testing using the immersion corrosion test method, which was soaked in artificial seawater with a salinity of 35‰. Based on the results, the highest biocorrosion rate on non-heat treated materials with the addition of Chrorella vulgaris reached 0.2780 mpy. While the biocorrosion rate after full annealing treatment was 0.1434 mpy and the size of uniform corrosion and pitting decreased. The percentages reduction of biocorrosion rete was 46.58%. This indicates that the addition of Chlorella vulgaris can accelerate the corrosion rate and full annealing can inhibit the biocorrosion rate.
The effect of sodium hydroxide molarity on setting time, workability, and compressive strength of fly ash-slag-based geopolymer mortar
Authors: Sunarsih E S , As’ad S , Mohd. Sam A R , Kristiawan S A 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This research investigates the influence of sodium hydroxide (SH) molarity on fly ash-slag-based geopolymer mortar’s workability, setting time, and compressive strength. The molarity of SH varies between 1M, 2M, 4M, 6M, 8M, and 10M. The geopolymer mixture was proportioned to contain 30% slag as a substitution for fly ash, with the alkaline activator to binder (Al/Bi) ratio of 0.45 and the sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide ratio (SS/SH) of 1.5. The results showed that at a range of low molarity SH (1M, 2M, and 4M), the setting time was faster in a mixture containing higher molarities. In contrast, at a range of high molarity (6M, 8M, and 10M), the setting time is slower in a mixture with higher molarity SH. Based on the setting time, the concentration of SH that can be applied in the field is 1M, 2M, 8M, and 10M. Increasing the molarity of SH will decrease the workability but increase compressive strength. However, when SH molarity increased after optimal molarity was established, the compressive strength was reduced. The maximum compressive strength of mortar is 46.86 MPa, obtained at an SH molarity of 6M.

Abstract
The ReadOut System (ROS) is a central part of the data
acquisition (DAQ) system of the ATLAS Experiment at the CERN Large
Hadron Collider (LHC). The system is responsible for receiving and
buffering event data from all detector subsystems and serving these
to the High Level Trigger (HLT) system via a 10 GbE network,
discarding or transporting data onward once the trigger has
completed its selection process. The ATLAS ROS was completely
replaced during the 2013–2014 experimental shutdown in order to
meet the demanding conditions expected during LHC Run 2 and Run 3
(2015–2025). The ROS consists of roughly one hundred Linux-based
2U-high rack-mounted servers equipped with PCIe I/O cards and
10 GbE interfaces. This paper documents the system requirements
for LHC Runs 2 and 3 and the design choices taken to meet them. The
results of performance measurements and the re-use of ROS technology
for the development of data sources, test platforms for other
systems, and another ATLAS DAQ system component, namely the Region
of Interest Builder (RoIB), are also discussed. Finally performance
results for Run 2 operations are presented before looking at the
upgrade for Run 3.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) plays a critical role in biology. ncRNAs from the same family usually have similar functions, as a result, it is essential to predict ncRNA families before identifying their functions. There are two primary methods for predicting ncRNA families, namely, traditional biological methods and computational methods. In traditional biological methods, a lot of manpower and resources are required to predict ncRNA families. Therefore, this paper proposed a new ncRNA family prediction method called MFPred based on computational methods. MFPred identified ncRNA families by extracting sequence features of ncRNAs, and it possessed three primary modules, including (1) four ncRNA sequences encoding and feature extraction module, which encoded ncRNA sequences and extracted four different features of ncRNA sequences, (2) dynamic Bi_GRU and feature fusion module, which extracted contextual information features of the ncRNA sequence and (3) ResNet_SE module that extracted local information features of the ncRNA sequence. In this study, MFPred was compared with the previously proposed ncRNA family prediction methods using two frequently used public ncRNA datasets, NCY and nRC. The results showed that MFPred outperformed other prediction methods in the two datasets.
Temperature impacts how sugar resources alter reproductive investment in the European corn borer moth
Authors: Enos Arielle N , Velikaneye Brittany A , Kozak Genevieve M 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Investment of resources in reproduction can be based on individual state, environmental conditions, and perceived mate quality. Changing climates impact many aspects of the environment by increasing temperature, decreasing precipitation, and altering resource availability. Access to high-quality resources is known to improve survival under elevated temperatures, but its effects on reproduction in warming environments are largely unexplored. Here, we investigate the effects of elevated temperature and sugar resources on reproductive output within and between E- and Z-pheromone strains of the European corn borer moth [Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)]. Corn borers prefer mates from their own strain, with reproductive output being highest for within-strain pairs. In this experiment, mating pairs were provided with a 20% sugar solution while exposed to either ambient (23 °C) or elevated (28 °C) temperatures. We measured reproductive investment as the total number of egg clusters laid 3 days after pairing. We found that at ambient temperature, sugar supplementation resulted in high investment across all pairs, including with usually unpreferred mates. However, when sugar was provided at elevated temperature, more egg clusters were laid in pairs with preferred (within-strain) mates as compared to less preferred (between-strain) mates. These results differ from temperature effects in the absence of sugar and suggest that the effects of sugar on reproductive investment in less preferred mates depend on temperature. Changes in investment may be due to differences in the allocation of extra resources to thermoregulation at elevated temperatures. Our results suggest the possibility of interactive effects of temperature and resources on sexual selection.
Binge Drinking and Cannabis Use among Transgender and Gender-Diverse Young Adults in Michigan

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Substance use rates are higher among transgender and gender-diverse people than cisgender people. Rates of substance use are also higher among young adults compared with other age groups. However, little research examines substance use among transgender and gender-diverse young adults. This study examines factors associated with binge drinking and cannabis use among transgender and gender-diverse young adults in Michigan. Participants (N = 78; ages 18–25) completed an online survey that included demographics and substance use and related characteristics. Race, stimulant misuse, and sedative misuse were associated with more frequent binge drinking. Older age and past-year pain reliever misuse were associated with less frequent cannabis use. Past-year stimulant use and using cannabis alone were associated with more frequent cannabis use. These findings suggest that additional marginalized identities may increase the risk for maladaptive substance use. Future research should examine substance use behaviors and correlates to inform interventions among this population.
Growth and maturation
Authors: Baxter-Jones Adam DG 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The concepts of a child’s growth and maturation are central to all studies related to paediatric exercise science. It is imperative that any studies investigating responses to exercise and/or physical activity take into consideration the growth and maturity status of the participant. Distinguishing influences of physical activity and/or exercise on growth from those associated with normal growth and development is problematic. This is because the effects of normal growth and maturation can mask those associated with exercise. As children grow, they become taller and heavier, they increase their lean and fat tissues, and their organs increase in size, which all affect performance outcomes. Children also mature into the adult state. The major distinction between size per se and maturation is that all children eventually achieve the same adult maturity, whereas adult size and body dimensions vary considerably. It is therefore important to remember that growth and maturation occur simultaneously and interact. There are also sex differences with girls reaching maturity, on average, 2 years earlier than boys. However, both sexes show the same patterns in growth, both in terms of the curve of growth and the changes in proportionality. There is wide variation among children both within and between sexes as to the exact timing and tempo of maturation. Therefore, to adequately distinguish the effects of exercise and/or physical activity on a group of children, biological maturity needs to be controlled. The most widely used methods to assess maturity are skeletal maturity, sexual maturity, and somatic or morphological maturity.
Muscle and pulmonary oxygen uptake kinetics
Authors: Barker Alan R , Armstrong Neil 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Studying the pulmonary oxygen uptake (pV.O2) kinetic response to exercise provides a non-invasive window into the underlying muscle metabolic response in children. However, high methodological rigour is required to study the pV.O2 kinetic responses to exercise in youth in terms of the prescription of exercise intensity domains and ensuring high statistical confidence in the derived kinetic estimates. Currently, there are limited data on the phase I increase in pV.O2 at the onset of exercise, meaning robust inferences regarding age and sex effects are unknown. Although there is a trend for marginally faster phase II pV.O2 kinetics during moderate-intensity exercise in children compared to adolescents or adults, the literature is inconsistent and limited to cross-sectional observations. However, consistent data from longitudinal and cross-sectional studies have demonstrated age- and sex-related differences in pV.O2 kinetics during heavy- and very heavy-intensity exercise. Recent advances in the application of 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy have provided valuable insights into the muscle phosphate controllers of pV.O2 during exercise. Current data suggest age- and sex-related differences are dependent on exercise intensity, with effects becoming more pronounced during high-intensity exercise, which are consistent with pV.O2 observations. The application of innovative methodologies and experimental designs have provided unique insights into the potential for muscle oxygen delivery and muscle fibre recruitment to alter pV.O2 kinetics in youth. Current data suggest faster pV.O2 kinetics in youth are related to lower requirement for substrate-level phosphorylation, increased muscle oxygen delivery and utilisation, and reduced requirement to recruit high-order muscle fibres (type II) during exercise.
