Published: February 2023

In this study, we prepared ultrasmall FeCo nanoparticles (NPs) with a high magnetic moment and examined their antigen-antibody reaction for biodetection applications. The FeCo NPs were collected from the FeCo-BaF2 nanogranular film with Fe:Co:Ba:F = 14:11:21:54 at.%, by dissolving the film in water since the BaF2 matrix was deliquescent. The size of FeCo NPs was ∼5 nm and the saturation magnetization was estimated to be ∼15.30 kG (149.0 emu/g). The Candida albicans antibodies (abcam ab53891)-conjugated FeCo NPs were collected by using an ultracentrifugal separation (110 000 rpm, 90 min), they were then reacted with Candida albicans. The obtained result indicates that Candida albicans were absorbed successfully onto FeCo NPs, and the number of Candida albicans bound to FeCo NPs counted from the micrographs of the aggregates of FeCo NPs and Candida albicans increased significantly by adding sonication treatment of the film in water before binding them to the antibodies. The success of antigen-antibody reaction of ultrasmall NPs with high magnetic moment improves detection sensitivity as well as offers potential detection for smaller biomolecules.
Meaning extensions of internet memes

Published: February 2023

AbstractThis paper explores the constructional properties of internet memes by conducting a case study ofIf 2020 was a(n) X(IYWX) memes within the framework of Viewpoint Spaces (Dancygier & Vandelanotte, 2017). By looking into constructional properties and viewpoint interactions at multiple conceptual levels evoked by the juxtaposition of text and an image, this paper aims to shed light on cases where extended meanings emerge as the cognizer’s expectation on the conventionalized use of the meme is flouted. IYWX memes reveal the meme maker’s stance toward the year 2020, either evaluative or depictive, with the help of the conditional construction and the pictorial presentation of X. This study also accounts for a third type, in which the de-conventionalized construal relies on the meme viewer’s expectation of the meme’s structure. This specific type is intriguing because it indicates that the conventional use of internet memes can be extended just as verbal constructions can.
Can the subaltern be heard?
Authors: Kasongo Mukile 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
This article examines translation strategies applied in the Russian version of Mariama Bâ’s francophone novel Une si longue lettre (USLL). The novel, which is often described as feminist, was translated into Russian during the period of late socialism, which was characterized by gradual societal changes involving the liberalization of the social order. Drawing on Spivak’s theorization of the subaltern and feminist translation, this article explores how the francophone African novel was translated into Russian and how specifically Soviet feminist discourses are reflected in the translation. Ultimately, this article argues that, by employing feminist translation strategies, the subaltern women characters in USLL were represented as less dependent on patriarchal structures and ‘inserted’ into the target culture as hegemonic subjects.
Simple informative prior distributions for Type A uncertainty evaluation in metrology
Authors: O’Hagan Anthony , Cox Maurice 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The result of a measurement, including the expression of uncertainty in the measurement, should represent a carefully considered opinion based on the metrologist’s experience and expertise, as well as on the data and other information sources. This is the position of the Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM), where the requirement for such judgment is clear in the case of Type B (non-statistical) evaluation. However, when making Type A evaluations, involving statistical analysis of data, the GUM and related GUM documents implicitly consider the data to be the only relevant information. This perspective is unfortunate, and arguably unscientific, when, as is frequently the case, the metrologist could bring other relevant information to bear. Bayesian statistical methods allow the use of prior information in addition to the data in Type A evaluation and have been advocated by several authors. However, prior information is in principle subjective and, as in other fields, there is some resistance in the metrology community at large to embrace Bayesian methods using meaningful, subjective prior probability distributions. We address our paper to metrologists in measurement and calibration laboratories whose workload is such that new techniques will only be adopted if they have proven advantages and are straightforward to apply routinely. We present two prior distributions for use in the most basic of all Type A evaluations, where the data comprise a sample of indications assumed to be normally distributed. These distributions represent prior information about the observation error variance in a simple form that is readily justified in practice. We show the gains to be achieved by using these prior distributions, both in the single Type A evaluation and in a more complex measurement model, and present simple guidance for verifying their validity.
Simulation study of particle identification using cluster counting technique for the BESIII drift chamber

Published: February 2023

Abstract
The particle identification of charged hadrons, especially
for the separation of K and π, is crucial for the flavour
physics study. Ionization measurement with the cluster counting
technique, which has a much less fluctuation than traditional
dE/dx measurement, is expected to provide better particle
identification for the BESIII experiment. Simulation studies,
including a Garfield++ based waveform analysis and a performance
study of K/π identification in the BESIII offline software
system have been performed. The results show that K/π separation
power and PID efficiency would be improved appreciably in the
momentum range above 1.2 GeV/c using cluster counting technique
even with a conservative resolution assumption.
Simulation of 14 MeV neutron-induced SEU in SRAM
Authors: Duan B.-h. , Xiong C. , Zhong L. , Zeng C. , Xiong J.-h. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
This paper presents a full-physical methodology to simulate single event upset (SEU)
induced by 14 MeV neutron in static random access memory (SRAM). Nuclear-reaction simulator
TALYS is first utilized to acquire valuable information about the secondary particles generated by
nuclear interactions between 14 MeV neutrons with both silicon and oxygen nuclei. Based on Geant4
code, a tool named Gproton is used exclusively for the neutron/proton-induced SEU
calculation. Pioneering Gproton simulation is used to output SEU candidate events by traditional
critical-charge method and computing process is accelerated through a forced collision
definition. Afterwards, a commercial TCAD which has good compatibility with the input and output
files of the customized Gproton code is employed to distinguish the real SEU events from the
candidate SEU events randomly selected. By combining Gproton and TCAD, a calibrated cross section
of 14 MeV neutron-induced SEU can be obtained. The proposed method is applied to a 180-nm
commercial SRAM with six-transistor memory cell. Predicted SEU cross section is in good agreement
with experimentally measured value. The results present in this paper suggest that, for SRAMs
exposed in 14 MeV neutron, the combination of the material particle transporting simulation and
device TCAD modeling is a candidate method to provide reasonable predictions of the cross section of
SEU which improves the accuracy of the prediction effectively.
Wing kinematics measurement and aerodynamics of hovering droneflies with wing damage
Authors: Meng Xueguang , Liu Xinyu , Chen Zengshuang , Wu Jianghao , Chen Gang 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
In this study, we performed successive unilateral and bilateral wing shearing to simulate wing damage in droneflies (Eristalis tenax) and measured the wing kinematics using high-speed photography technology. Two different shearing types were considered in the artificial wing damage. The aerodynamic force and power consumption were obtained by numerical method. Our major findings are the following. Different shearing methods have little influence on the kinematics, forces and energy consumption of insects. Following wing damage, among the potential strategies to adjust the three Euler angles of the wing, adjusting stroke angle (φ) in isolation, or combing the adjustment of stroke angle (φ) with pitch angle (ψ), contributed most to the change in vertical force. The balance of horizontal thrust can be restored by the adjustment of deviation angle (θ) under the condition of unilateral wing damage. Considering zero elastic energy storage, the mass-specific power (P
1) increases significantly following wing damage. However, the increase in mass-specific power with 100% elastic energy storage (P
2) is very small. The extra cost of the unilateral wing damage is that the energy consumption of the damaged wing and intact wing is highly asymmetrical when zero elastic energy storage is considered. The insects may alleviate the problems of increasing power consumption and asymmetric power distribution by storage and reuse of the negative inertial work of the wing.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Identifying suitable habitats for endangered species is critical in order to promote their recovery. However, conventional species distribution models (SDMs) need large amounts of labeled sample data to learn the relationship between species and environmental conditions, and are difficult to fully detangle the role of the environment in the distribution of the endangered species, which are very sparsely distributed and have environmental heterogeneity. This study’s first innovation used the semi-supervised model to accurately simulate the suitable habitats for endangered species with a small sample size. The model performance was compared with three conventional SDMs, namely Maxent, the generalized linear model, and a support vector machine. Applying the model to the endangered species Populus euphratica (P. euphratica) in the lower Tarim River basin (TRB), Northwest China. The results showed that the semi-supervised model exhibited better performance than conventional SDMs with an accuracy of 85% when only using 443 P. euphratica samples. All models developed using smaller sample sizes exhibit worse performance in the prediction of habitat suitability areas for endangered species while the semi-supervised model is still excellent. The results showed that the suitable habitat for P. euphratica is mainly near the river channel of the lower TRB, accounting for 13.49% of the study area. The lower Tarim River still has enormous land potential for the restoration of endangered P. euphratica. The model developed here can be used to evaluate a suitable habitat for endangered species with only a small sample size, and provide a basis for the conservation of endangered species.

Rethinking British Militarism before the First World War: The Case of An Englishman’s Home (1909)
Authors: Melby Christian K 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
British pre-First World War culture has often been described as militaristic. An Englishman’s Home, Guy du Maurier’s 1909 play about a German invasion of Britain, forms part of this picture. Yet the message of the play was not clear-cut, and Edwardian society reacted as much with bemusement and criticism to the idea that Britain could be invaded as with militaristic fervour. This article investigates the reactions to du Maurier’s play, and sets it in the context of the wider invasion-scare and future-war genre, a popular element in late Victorian and Edwardian culture. The play was quickly linked with a recruitment drive for the newly organised Territorial Force, and its success has been interpreted as a sign of increased British uncertainty, militarism and xenophobia. However, the play was also mocked, its success as a recruitment vehicle was uncertain, and the audience interpreted the play in different and often contradictory ways. The article offers a reinterpretation and a critical assessment of the pre-war period, showing that Edwardian society was not as militaristic or fearful of invasion as has previously been argued. It presents a new interpretation of invasion-scare and future-war fiction, and a new analysis of the question of pre-war militarism in Britain.
Parallel and non-parallel phenotypic responses to environmental variation across Lesser Antillean anoles

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Species whose ranges encompass substantial environmental variation should experience heterogeneous selection, potentially resulting in local adaptation. Repeated covariation between phenotype and environment across ecologically similar species inhabiting similar environments provides strong evidence for adaptation. Lesser Antillean anoles present an excellent system in which to study repeated local adaptation because most species are widespread generalists occurring throughout environmentally heterogenous island landscapes. We leveraged this natural replication to test the hypothesis that intraspecific variation in phenotype (coloration and morphology) is consistently associated with environment across 9 species of bimaculatus series anoles. We measured dorsal coloration from 173 individuals from 6 species and 16 morphological traits from 883 individuals from 9 species, spanning their island ranges. We identified striking, but incomplete, parallelism in dorsal coloration associated with annual precipitation in our study species. By contrast, we observed significant patterns of morphological isolation-by-environment in only 2 species and no signal of parallel morphological evolution. Collectively, our results reveal strong divergent natural selection by environment on dorsal coloration but not morphology.
Eikonal equation-based earthquake location with irregular surfaces
Authors: Zhang Qingyu , Ma Xiao , Nie Yufeng 
Published: February 2023

SUMMARYEarthquake location is a basic seismological problem and has a key role in many quantitative seismic analyses. The significant anomaly of traveltimes observed in mountainous areas with irregular surfaces has made earthquake location a challenge. To cope with this problem, we develop an effective eikonal equation-based earthquake location method based on unstructured mesh for 2-D/3-D isotropic and anisotropic media with irregular surfaces. First, the location misfit function is established by the reciprocity principle. Then, we use a global search algorithm to find the optimal origin times and hypocentres. Afterward, we apply eikonal equation-based master-event relocation method to relocate earthquakes on lateral boundaries of the region where the location results may be biased. To accurately compute the traveltime in 3-D vertically transversely isotropic and tilted transversely isotropic models with irregular surfaces or interfaces, we also propose a 3-D iterative fast sweeping method for eikonal equation on the unstructured tetrahedral mesh. Finally, we verify the proposed method by performing numerical experiments in 2-D/3-D irregular isotropic and anisotropic models. The numerical tests indicate that the proposed eikonal equation-based earthquake location method provides an effective way to find accurate hypocentre and origin time in 2-D/3-D isotropic and anisotropic media with irregular surfaces, even for inhomogeneous complex structures. In addition, the eikonal equation-based master-event location method has also yielded promising relocation results.

AbstractDysregulation of circulating lipids is a central element for the metabolic syndrome. However, it is not well established whether human subcutaneous adipose tissue is affected by or affect circulating lipids through epigenetic mechanisms. Hence, our aim was to investigate the association between circulating lipids and DNA methylation levels in human adipose tissue. DNA methylation and gene expression were analysed genome-wide in subcutaneous adipose tissue from two different cohorts, including 85 men and 93 women, respectively. Associations between DNA methylation and circulating levels of triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein and total cholesterol were analysed. Causal mediation analyses tested if adipose tissue DNA methylation mediates the effects of triglycerides on gene expression or insulin resistance. We found 115 novel associations between triglycerides and adipose tissue DNA methylation, e.g. in the promoter of RFS1, ARID2 and HOXA5 in the male cohort (P ≤ 1.1 × 10−7), and 63 associations, e.g. within the gene body of PTPRN2 and COL6A3 in the female cohort. We further connected these findings to altered mRNA expression levels in adipose tissue (e.g. HOXA5, IL11 and FAM45B). Interestingly, there was no overlap between methylation sites associated with triglycerides in men and the sites found in women, which points towards sex-specific effects of triglycerides on the epigenome. Finally, a causal mediation analysis provided support for adipose tissue DNA methylation as a partial mediating factor between circulating triglycerides and insulin resistance. This study identified novel epigenetic alterations in adipose tissue associated with circulating lipids. Identified epigenetic changes seem to mediate effects of triglycerides on insulin resistance.
Myeloid FTH1 Deficiency Protects Mice From Colitis and Colitis-associated Colorectal Cancer via Reducing DMT1-Imported Iron and STAT3 Activation
Authors: Liu Zhaoli , Arcos Mariella , Martin David R , Xue Xiang 
Published: February 2023

Abstract

Background
Myeloid cells are critical for iron and immune homeostasis. Ferritin heavy chain (FTH1) is essential for intracellular iron storage. Myeloid FTH1 is important in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory diseases. However, the role of myeloid FTH1 in colitis and colitis-associated cancer has not been determined.

Methods
Myeloid FTH1 deficient and wild-type mice were treated with dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) or azoxymethane (AOM)-DSS to compare their susceptibility to acute colitis or colitis-associated cancer.

Results
Myeloid FTH1-deficient mice fed with a high-iron diet were less susceptible to DSS-induced acute colitis than wild type mice. Mechanistic studies showed that myeloid FTH1 deficiency resulted in lower expression of an iron uptake protein divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) and active phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in the colon tissues. Our studies also showed that pharmacological STAT3 reactivation restored the susceptibility of myeloid FTH1-deficient mice to DSS-induced acute colitis. Consistently, myeloid FTH1-deficient mice fed with a high-iron diet had reduced DMT1, phosphorylated STAT3 and inflammation in their colon tissues, and were less susceptible to colitis-associated colorectal cancer.

Conclusions
Our study demonstrated that myeloid FTH1 is required for colitis and colitis-associated colorectal cancer via maintaining of DMT1-iron-STAT3 signaling activation under excess iron condition.
The rule of justice
Authors: Endicott Timothy 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Law can secure some aspects of justice in a political community. Yet the law should not generally prohibit injustices by private persons or give recourse against them. That would be tyranny. It may seem that the law should, by contrast, prohibit all injustices in the conduct of government, and give recourse against them. In this article I argue against that seemingly attractive idea. I do so by reference to three kinds of public injustice: in voting, in legislation, and in adjudication. I claim that those kinds of public injustice are not generally matters for the law. Preventing or repairing injustice is not enough to justify legal prohibitions or legal recourse against wrongs. The justification of legal measures depends on a political principle: that the law ought to make the political community a good one.
Conventions and practical interpretation in Westminster-type constitutional systems
Authors: Harding Andrew 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
This article focuses on what are termed “practical interpretations”—that is, constitutional interpretations given by the executive or legislative branch. It does so principally in relation to constitutional conventions in Westminster-type systems, which are normally not subject to judicial review. The argument is that these practical interpretations are of great significance, and more attention needs to be paid to them and to understanding how they are made, as they are at least equally important as judicial interpretations, in spite of expanding judicial review of conventions. In order to establish how nonjudicial interpretation operates, the discussion goes beyond the United Kingdom to consider how certain conventions, when transplanted elsewhere, receive very different interpretations. In the course of making this argument, the article explores the constitutional importance of practical interpretation, examining in the process the extent of judicial review of conventions.
