Genre, tradition and renewal: Animal autobiography and poetics of the multicentric self
Authors: You Chengcheng 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe development of animal autobiography as a genre has been constrained by the narrative possibility and epistemological impossibility of animals as autobiographers. In spite of its limitations, animal autobiography has still developed into different generic forms. Noting the generic tradition and renewal as well as the ethical ramifications in animal autobiography, this study examines how animal selfhood is constructed to render varieties of autobiographical experiences. Drawn upon autofiction/autobiography studies and literary animal studies, this article probes into the art of self-invention in animal autobiography. A “self”-oriented analysis of Dorothy Kilner’s The Life and Perambulations of A Mouse (1784) and Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty (1877) reveals the genre’s common representational strategies, such as multi-scaled perceptions of an autofictional self, critical anthropomorphism and an ethics of witness. Based on these strategies, it further examines how Katherine Applegate’s The One and Only Ivan (2012) endorses a generic continuum and renewal. Following Jacques Derrida’s key concepts in his lecture “The Animal that Therefore I Am” in the discourse of human–animal relations, this study concludes with a proposed poetics of the multicentric self in animal autobiography, which maps out the interplay of the first-person persona’s authenticity, autofiction and literary authority, and serves the genre’s increasingly prominent anti-anthropocentric purposes.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Efficient conversion of glycerol to 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is the affirmation and guarantee of the feasible development of biodiesel industry, but the biocompatibility of catalyst must be considered due to the wide application of DHA in food and medicine industries. In this work, an environmentally benign biosynthesis approach with Syringa oblata Lindl. (SoL) leaf extract was employed to fabricate Au/CuO catalysts for the oxidation of glycerol to DHA. The biosynthesized SoL-Au/CuO catalysts were characterized and the effects of plant extracts concentration, gold loading, calcination temperature and reaction conditions on the catalytic performance were systematically analyzed. High catalytic performance with glycerol conversion rate of 95.7% and DHA selectivity of 77.9% can be attained under optimum conditions. This work provides the first example of preparing biocompatible catalyst for the thermal catalytic oxidation of glycerol to DHA, which can not only reach efficient conversion of glycerol and selectivity to DHA, but also is simple, green, environmentally friendly, and promising.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) are known for their high power density but hampered by low energy density. Herein, N-doped hollow carbon nanorods (NHCRs) have been constructed by a hard templating method using MnO2 nanorods as the hard templates and m-phenylenediamine-formaldehyde resin as the carbon precursor. The NHCRs after activation (NHCRs-A) manifest abundant micropores/mesopores and an ultrahigh surface area (2166 m2 g−1). When employed in ionic liquid (IL) electrolyte-based EDLCs, the NHCRs-A delivers a high specific capacitance (220 F g−1 at 1 A g−1), an impressive energy density (110 Wh kg−1), and decent cyclability (97% retention over 15 000 cycles). The impressive energy density is derived from the abundant ion-available micropores, while the decent power density is originated from the hollow ion-diffusion channels as well as excellent wettability in ILs. In situ infrared spectroscopy together with in situ Raman unveil that both counter-ion adsorption and ion exchange are involved in the charge storage of NHCRs-A. This study provides insight into the construction of porous carbon materials for EDLCs.
The effect of intrinsic decoherence on the dynamics of an Ξ-type qutrit system interacting with a coherent field

Published: June 2023

Abstract
This paper solves milburn’s intrinsic noise (IN) model for a 3-level atom of an Ξ-type interacting with a coherent cavity field via multiphoton transitions. Therefore, the effects of the intrinsic noise and the multi-photon interactions are investigated for some quantum phenomena, such as total correlation, entanglement, and atomic inversion. In general, we found that the collapse-revival phenomenon occurs during the oscillatory behaviour of atomic population dynamics. In addition, the birth-death phenomenon is observed in the negativity dynamics. Entropy, negativity, and mutual information have various dynamics. It is found that, as the entropy increases, the negativity and mutual information diminish to stationary levels. When intrinsic noise is considered, all the phenomena of atomic inversion, entropies, negativity and mutual information exhibit high sensitivity to high intrinsic noise values, except the mutual information dynamics, which is more resistant than that of the other quantifiers.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
In tension stringing construction, the conductor defects of loose strand often occur, which affects the construction quality and conductor life. There is no suitable method to express the physical state of such loose strand at present. Through the study of the loose strands section of the conductor, the physical model of the loose strands of the conductor is established, and the physical calculation formula of scattered strands and lantern included in loose strands defect is proposed, as well as the discrimination coefficient of the scattered strands k
1 and the lantern k
2 . 3D scanning technology of industrial CT was used to scan and model the loose strand samples of JL/G1A-630/45-45/7 and JL1/G2A-1250/100-84/19 ACSR obtained from the loose strand reproduction test of conductor. The CT scanning model is evenly intercepted to measure multiple sections, and the scattered strands coefficient and the lantern coefficient are calculated. The results show that: When k
1 and k
2 ≥ 1.2, the scattered strands and lantern defects of the conductor are more obvious, which can be used as a criterion.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Turbulence models are considered one of the most important sources of numerical errors in the CFD studies on different aeronautical problems. The mesh type can also affect the numerical accuracy and computational efficiency. In this paper, various simulations on the store separation from an aircraft model in the transonic flow have been carried out by coupling the CFD and the rigid body dynamics on the overset mesh. The influence of S-A model, Standard k-epsilon model, SST k-omega model and inviscid model on the simulation results is examined. Different mesh types of both unstructured mesh and structured mesh as component part in overset are also considered. Grid-independence study are first carried out. The effects of different turbulence models and mesh types are then examined by comparing the trajectories, velocities and Eulerian angles. Recommendations are given to get better results for the simulation of multi-body separation problem.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
The rise in the use of lightweight and sustainable structural systems in the construction industry opened the chance to improve conventional construction methods. To produce a slender structural member, the use of textile in concrete, herein referred to as textile-reinforced concrete (TRC), has been explored. The textile used is primarily carbon, producing a lightweight and durable construction material. The TRC possesses vast possibilities in terms of its usage, however, identification of accurate bond-slip behaviour at the materials interface is one of the limitations that need to be addressed. Based on the literature, there are difficulties in determining the bond-slip relationship both experimentally and numerically, creating inconsistency in the results. This study aims to determine the bond-slip relation of TRC through pull-out tests and finite element analysis in order to replicate the actual bond-slip behaviour at the interface. The bond characteristics of TRC were assessed using pull-out specimens with different bond lengths of textile, i.e.; 20 mm, 40 mm, and 60 mm. A double-sided unsymmetrical test setup with equal clamp lengths is used for the experimental work. Using a tri-linear bond-slip interface relation, the numerical model is developed to establish the microscopic interface behaviour. The bond failure due to pull-out and rupture are observed in the pull-out test. Finally, the experimental results are compared with numerical modelling, and the results are in good agreement.
Facile one-precursor and one-pot synthesis of Girard’s reagent T-based carbon dots for bacteria-resistant and anti-biofilm applications

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Based on the promising development of carbon dots in antibacterial applications, Girard’s reagent T-based carbon dots (GRT-CDs) with a mean size of 2.41 nm and excellent antibacterial performance were synthesized through a one-step method. The minimum inhibitory concentration of GRT-CDs was 200 μg ml−1 for both Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The bacterial growth curves showed that the inhibitory effect of GRT-CDs on bacterial multiplication was strongly concentration-dependent. The bactericidal effect of GRT-CDs was further demonstrated by the large differences in bacterial fluorescence staining plots. Zeta potential measurements and scanning electron microscope images indicated that GRT-CDs formed complexes with bacteria, which affected the normal physiological activities of bacteria, causing their rupture and death. In addition, GRT-CDs efficiently inhibited biofilm formation and removed mature biofilms. Furthermore, GRT-CDs also exhibited a remarkable inhibitory activity on MRSA. Cytotoxicity experiments showed that GRT-CDs had good cytocompatibility and even promoted cell proliferation at low concentrations. Therefore, the GRT-CDs obtained from a one-precursor and one-pot synthesis show good prospects for antibacterial applications.
Record-breaking summer rainfall in the Asia–Pacific region attributed to the strongest Asian westerly jet related to aerosol reduction during COVID-19

Published: June 2023

Abstract
The Asia–Pacific region suffered record rainfall in summer 2020, which was accompanied by the strongest Asian subtropical westerly jet (ASWJ) of the past four decades. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly around the world, resulting in an abrupt reduction in emissions in East Asia. Here, we investigate whether the enhanced ASWJ induced by plummeting aerosols contributed to the record-breaking rainfall. The results show that tropospheric warming in Southeast Asia, in particular southern China, due to local aerosol reduction, acted to increase the meridional temperature gradients in the mid–lower troposphere, which supported a strong ASWJ in the upper troposphere via the thermal wind balance. The latter enhanced divergence in the upper troposphere over the Asia–Pacific region, which provided a favorable ascending motion for the record rainfall that took place there. Therefore, against a background of carbon neutrality (i.e. the reduction in aerosols), our results imply more strong summer rainfall in the Asia–Pacific region.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Quantum Hamilton–Jacobi (QHJ) quantization scheme uses the singularity structure of the potential of a quantum mechanical system to generate its eigenspectrum and eigenfunctions, and its efficacy has been demonstrated for several well known conventional potentials. Using a recent work in supersymmetric quantum mechanics, we prove that the additive shape invariance of all conventional potentials and unbroken supersymmetry are sufficient conditions for their solvability within the QHJ formalism.

Abstract
Marek’s disease and reticuloendotheliosis are neoplastic diseases in poultry infected by Marek’s disease virus (MDV) and reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV), respectively. This infection may lead to tumor growth in the chicken organ which is difficult to distinguish based on macroscopic lesions, therefore it is important to further diagnose by histopathological examination. Thus, this study aimed to diagnose Marek’s disease in layer chicken based on anatomical pathology and histopathology examination. The samples used were ten cadavers of culled Isa Brown chicken that died in the poultry market. The samples were immediately transported to Pathology Laboratory for necropsy and macroscopically examination. The tumors observed on the pancreas and mesenteric organs were collected and then proceeded to histopathological examination followed by staining using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson’s trichrome (MT). The anatomical pathology examination showed numerous white-colorized tumors which vary in size found in the mesenteries and pancreas. Histopathological examination demonstrated that tumors consisted of inflammatory cells and reticular cells. The inflammatory cells were pleomorphic and basophilic lymphocytes. In conclusion, in this study, the diagnosis of the visceral type of Marek’s disease in ISA brown layer chicken by means of the anatomical pathology examination was characterized by tumor nodules in the pancreas and mesenteric organs. While microscopically the tumor tissue in Marek’s disease consists of connective tissue and lymphocytes with large cell sizes, varying shapes, and basophilic colors.

Abstract
Broiler chicken is one of the most common forms of protein in Indonesia. Sukabumi and Cianjur are two of the province of West Java’s top producers of broiler chickens. Farmers nonetheless use antibiotics for prevention, treatment, and growth enhancement. The objective of this investigation is to detect antibiotic resistance and the related resistance gene. The cloacal swab samples were determined to be Staphylococcus aureus by biochemical and molecular assays. Against the positive S. aureus strains, the antibiotics tetracycline, ampicillin, gentamicin, nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, and chloramphenicol were evaluated. The colony’s obvious inhibitory zone was evaluated in accordance with the 2018 Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute recommendations (CLSI 2018). After extracting the DNA from resistant strains, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was employed to identify the resistance gene. The total number of S. aureus isolates from both regions was 26, with 14 coming from Sukabumi and 12 from Cianjur. The vast majority were resistant to the vast majority of antibiotics used in broiler farms including several medicines. These samples carried the genes blaTEM, gyrA, tetA, and ermB for antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Improving semen quality of goat can be done through the administration of PGF2α in vivo (injection) or in vitro (addition to diluent media). This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of in vivo and in vitro PGF2α administration to improve the sperm quality of Gembrong goats. In this study, four Gembrong goats were used and divided into two treatment groups, namely K1 (n=2) which received an injection of 75 μg PGF2α, and K2 (n=2), which received an injection of 1.5 ml physiological NaCl. The collection of Gembrong goat semen was carried out 30 minutes after the treatment in each group. Then, the semen was examined macroscopically and microscopically. The semen collected in K2 was diluted with a diluent and mixed with 75 μg of PGF2α, whereas the semen collected in K1 was diluted without the addition of PGF2α. T-test was performed to analyze research data on the semen quality (volume, motility, concentration, viability, and abnormalities) after the in vivo treatment as well as spermatozoa motility after the in vitro treatment. The results showed that the in vivo administration of PGF2α was able to increase the concentration of spermatozoa (x 106 sperm cells/ml) in K1 vs. K2 with concentrations of 2300 ± 1343.5 vs. 1,185±431.34 (P>0.05). Meanwhile, the in vitro administration of PGF2α was able to increase pre-freezing motility in K1 and K2 with motility values (%) of 55.98±0.74 and 70.21±0.04 (P<0.05), respectively. Based on the results, the study concluded that both in vivo and in vitro administrations of PGF2α were able to improve the semen quality of Gembrong goats.
