Ode to Bayesian methods in metrology
Authors: Meija Juris , Bodnar Olha , Possolo Antonio 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Bayesian statistical methods are being used increasingly often in measurement science, similarly to how they now pervade all the sciences, from astrophysics to climatology, and from genetics to social sciences. Within metrology, the use of Bayesian methods is documented in peer-reviewed publications that describe the development of certified reference materials or the characterization of CIPM key comparison reference values and the associated degrees of equivalence. This contribution reviews Bayesian concepts and methods, and provides guidance for how they can be used in measurement science, illustrated with realistic examples of application. In the process, this review also provides compelling evidence to the effect that the Bayesian approach offers unparalleled means to exploit all the information available that is relevant to rigorous and reliable measurement. The Bayesian outlook streamlines the interpretation of uncertainty evaluations, aligning their meaning with how they are perceived intuitively: not as promises about performance in the long run, but as expressions of documented and justified degrees of belief about the truth of specific conclusions supported by empirical evidence. This review also demonstrates that the Bayesian approach is practicable using currently available modeling and computational techniques, and, most importantly, that measurement results obtained using Bayesian methods, and predictions based on Bayesian models, including the establishment of metrological traceability, are amenable to empirical validation, no less than when classical statistical methods are used for the same purposes. Our goal is not to suggest that everything in metrology should be done in a Bayesian way. Instead, we aim to highlight applications and kinds of metrological problems where Bayesian methods shine brighter than the classical alternatives, and deliver results that any classical approach would be hard-pressed to match.
Blockage and Permeability of Permeable Asphalt Pavement Materials Based on the CAVF Method
Authors: Wang Weiming , Yang Zhenyu 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The permeable asphalt concrete pac-13a is designed based on the CAVF method. By measuring the porosity, connected porosity, and pavement water permeability coefficient of the test piece, it has better water permeability performance than pac-13b, designed by a traditional empirical method. The vertical permeability coefficient tester is used to carry out the water permeability test under the action of four kinds of different blocking substances. The three stages of blocking the permeable pavement are reproduced. The permeability coefficient and the residual rate of the permeability coefficient were calculated by modifying Darcy’s law. The regression model of the permeability coefficient and blocking times of four kinds of plugging materials was established. The permeability of the test pieces was restored to varying degrees by high-pressure water gun injection. The test results showed that pac-13a had good water permeability and more connected porosity. It could maintain a certain permeability even if it were blocked; the blockage of urban expressways and arterial roads has the least impact on the permeability of PAC.
Adjustable electronic structure and magnetism of ZnO nanoribbons by applying an electric field
Authors: Yang Yang , Wang Peng , Wen Junqing 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The electronic characteristics and magnetism of nitrogen passivated armchair ZnO nanoribbons (NA8ZnONRs) by applying an electric field were analyzed using the DFT method at the LDA+U level. The outcomes suggest that intrinsic armchair ZnO nanoribbons (A8ZnONRs) are nonmagnetic semiconductors. After nitrogen passivation, NA8ZnONRs display ferromagnetism, whose magnetism (3.21 μB) primarily derives from spin polarization of p orbital electrons of passivated N atoms (2.56 μB) and boundary O atoms (0.69 μB). By applying X-axis electric field, A8ZnONRs still exhibit ferromagnetism, and magnetism primarily derives from the spin-splitting polarization of p orbital electrons of boundary O atoms and passivated N atoms.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
As a new-type anti-seepage material, Geosynthetic Clay Liner (hereinafter referred to as GCL) has been applied in various anti-seepage projects and achieved good benefits. Based on different salt solution types, concentrations, dry-wet, and freeze-thaw cycles, this paper designs a permeability test of GCL after aging, and the result shows that: (1) under the influencing factors of single salt solution, there is a threshold concentration of 0.15 mol/L, which means that the increase rate of GCL permeability coefficient suffers a significant decrease above this concentration. (2) With fewer numbers (<4 ) of dry-wet cycles the GCL permeability coefficient shows faster growth and then returns gradually to stability. (3) Compared with dry-wet and freeze-thaw environments, cation concentration and valence have a more prominent inhibition effect on the anti-seepage property of GCL. The research results can provide data reference and reasonable advice for the deterioration of various indicators of GCL material and its service life in corresponding projects in saline soil areas.
The Influence of Geometrical Parameters on Temperature Deformation of Spherical Honeycomb Sandwich Structure
Authors: Xu Jinkang , Zhou Xiaolong 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
As a reflector of the high-precision measurement system, the reflecting surface RMS has a significant impact on the accuracy of the entire system. Currently, studies on honeycomb sandwich structures mainly focus on optimization with lightweight as the goal and stiffness and strength as constraints. And studies on temperature deformation are limited. Consulting the honeycomb sandwich equivalent theory, this paper has studied the influence of geometric parameters of honeycomb sandwich structure on the reflecting RMS in different temperature fields. In global temperature fields, the reflecting surface RMS is linked to curvature radius R, temperature changes, and the length a closely. The height mainly causes the translation of the reflecting surface in the Z direction. In temperature gradient fields, the reflecting surface RMS is linked to the height h, temperature gradient, and length a closely. And the curvature radius R has little effect.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Multiple material parts (MMP) have good physical and mechanical properties, which are commonly used in some critical applications such as engine blades. Current polishing techniques for MMP suffer from low efficiency and poor surface quality. To effectively polish MMP with complex shapes, this paper proposes an environmentally friendly micro-arc plasma polishing method that combines electrochemical and electrical discharge machining. The material removal mechanism of micro-arc plasma discharge polishing of MMP is analyzed. The experiments show that the proposed method is feasible by polishing 304 stainless steels, and the influence factors of the polishing efficiency and surface quality are discussed. The parameters’ optimization is conducted that provides the technical theory basis and control strategy for MMPs’ engineering application.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
All-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals CsPbX3 (X=Cl, Br, I) have garnered significant interest due to their promising applications and have become a leading research subject in the field of optoelectronics. The weak stability of CsPbBrI2 perovskite nanocrystals has hindered their development, however, silica coating can effectively solve this problem. The (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane was used as a raw material for silica synthesis to form core-shell structured CsPbBrI2@SiO2 perovskite nanocrystals to obtain enhanced optoelectronic properties. This article reveals the narrow absorption and emission peaks, small half-height widths, 14.6 ns fluorescence lifetimes, and 106.2 meV exciton binding energies of CsPbBrI2@SiO2 perovskite nanocrystals. The results show that the core-shell structured CsPbBrI2@SiO2 perovskite nanocrystals prepared by this method have excellent fluorescence spectral properties and hold significant promise for future applications in optoelectronic devices.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
During the verification process of the special axle (wheel) load scales for motor vehicles test using the standard dynamometer method, it is necessary to first apply pressure vertically to the load receptor of the axle (wheel) load scales through the axis of the force sensor, which is a prerequisite for subsequent parameter verification work such as indication error. Aiming at the problem of low automation in the lifting and lowering work of force sensors using jacks, this paper introduces a verification device for axle (wheel) load scales based on the automatic loading function and proposes specific automatic loading methods and steps. According to the experimental data after implementation, the verification device has the advantages of high automation and high efficiency, which can replace the existing jack to achieve the lifting and lowering of the force sensor. With this verification device and its automatic loading method, the measurement of the axle (wheel) load scales can meet the requirements of JJG1014-2019 “Special Axle (Wheel) Load Scales for Motor Vehicle Test”.

Authors: Wang Menghao 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In order to improve the stability and safety of lithium (Li) metal anodes, an innovative artificial solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film of Li Poly (tert-butyl acrylate-co-ethyl acrylate-co-methacrylic acid) (LiPTBEM) has been designed. This thin and uniformly artificial SEI is stable, which can suppress the continuous side reactions between the electrolyte and Li metal, improve the stability of modified Li metal anodes, and achieve better electrochemical performance. Symmetric batteries with LiPTBEM exhibit significantly improved cycling stability, indicating that LiPTBEM is a promising artificial SEI film.
Research on the wear performance of reactive plasma deposited TiB2-TiC0.3N0.7 matrix coating
Authors: Liu Caiyan , Fan Junyan , Mao Zhengping 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Wear performance and behavior of as-sprayed TiB2-TiC0.3N0.7 matrix coating were investigated with different rotation speeds of counterpart and applied load. Analytical balance was used to weigh wear quantity. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe surface morphology, abrasion scratch, and wear debris was researched through an energy dispersive spectrum. It is found the mass loss of matrix coating increases with the loading load increment at a low rotation speed of the counterpart. And wear loss decreases first and then increases with the increment of loading load at the high rotary speed of the counterpart. The wear mechanism of abrasive wear, adhesion wear, oxidation wear, and fatigue wear appear during the test of composite coatings at different rotation speeds of the counterpart and applied load.

AbstractDespite the many successes of the Standard Model of particle physics, there are still several physical observations that it cannot explain, such as the matter-antimatter asymmetry, non-zero neutrino masses, and the microscopic nature of dark matter. To address these limitations, extensions to the standard model are necessary, and searches for electric dipole moments (EDMs) of leptons are valuable test. The search for a muon EDM is the only search on a bare lepton of the second generation, complementing the searches for an EDM of the electron using polar molecules. A non-zero EDM of the muon would indicate Charge-Parity symmetry violation beyond the standard model. A dedicated experimental search for the muon EDM is being set up at PSI using the frozen-spin technique. In this technique, the anomalous spin precession of the muons in a storage ring is suppressed by applying an electric field in the radial direction. The muon EDM experiment will take place in two phases: the first phase will demonstrate the frozen-spin technique using a precursor experiment with 28 MeV/cmuons, while the second phase will make use of 125 MeV/cmuons, which could search for the muon EDM with a sensitivity of 6 × 10-23e·cm. In this talk, we describe the precursor experiment at PSI and provide an update on the status of the experiment.
Maximal reachable temperatures for Western Europe in current climate
Authors: Noyelle Robin , Zhang Yi , Yiou Pascal , Faranda Davide 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Human bodies, ecosystems and infrastructures display a non-linear sensibility to extreme temperatures occurring during heatwave events. Preparing for such events entails to know how high surface air temperatures can go. Here we examine the maximal reachable temperatures in Western Europe. Taking the July 2019 record-breaking heatwave as a case study and employing a flow analogues methodology, we find that temperatures exceeding 50 ∘C cannot be ruled out in most urban areas, even under current climate conditions. We analyze changes in the upper bound of surface air temperatures between the past (1940–1980) and present (1981–2021) periods. Our results show that the significant increase in daily maximum temperatures in the present period is only partially explained by the increase of the upper bound. Our results suggest that most of the warming of daily maximum surface temperatures result from strengthened diabatic surface fluxes rather than free troposphere warming.
Simulating noise on a quantum processor: interactions between a qubit and resonant two-level system bath

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Material defects fundamentally limit the coherence times of superconducting qubits, and manufacturing completely defect-free devices is not yet possible. Therefore, understanding the interactions between defects and a qubit in a real quantum processor design is essential. We build a model that incorporates the standard tunneling model, the electric field distributions in the qubit, and open quantum system dynamics, and draws from the current understanding of two-level system (TLS) theory. Specifically, we start with one million TLSs distributed on the surface of a qubit and pick the 200 systems that are most strongly coupled to the qubit. We then perform a full Lindbladian simulation that explicitly includes the coherent coupling between the qubit and the TLS bath to model the time dependent density matrix of resonant TLS defects and the qubit. We find that the 200 most strongly coupled TLSs can accurately describe the qubit energy relaxation time. This work confirms that resonant TLSs located in areas where the electric field is strong can significantly affect the qubit relaxation time, even if they are located far from the Josephson junction (JJ). Similarly, a strongly-coupled resonant TLS located in the JJ does not guarantee a reduced qubit relaxation time if a more strongly coupled TLS is far from the JJ. In addition to the coupling strengths between TLSs and the qubit, the model predicts that the geometry of the device and the TLS relaxation time play a significant role in qubit dynamics. Our work can provide guidance for future quantum processor designs with improved qubit coherence times.
Artistic Bohemias
Authors: Weir David 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the relationship of bohemian culture to the development of both modern art and popular art. The artist Gustave Courbet carefully cultivated a bohemian identity as a form of self-promotion that helped ensure his success as an artist, blurring the boundaries between rebellious outsider and establishment insider. This cultural positioning, repeated by Pablo Picasso and many others, illustrates the importance of bohemian culture to the development of modern art. Similarly, bohemian experience proved critical to the emergence of certain forms of popular culture. The chapter concludes with a discussion of another example of boundary crossing in Montparnasse, as the distinction between bourgeois and bohemian begins to collapse.
Ancient Greek and Roman Science: A Very Short Introduction
Authors: Taub Liba 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Ancient Greek and Roman Science: A Very Short Introduction describes ancient scientific ideas and practices. It focuses on Greece and Rome between the 8th century bce and 6th century ce and is primarily concerned with science rather than technology, giving a brief, roughly chronological account of ancient scientific ideas and practices. Ancient Greek and Roman Science discusses the epic poets Homer and Hesiod and their ideas about nature and also highlights reflections of modern physicists on ancient science. This VSI looks at answers to questions about the physical world, human bodies and health, and mathematical problems in ancient Greece and Rome. It addresses how ancient Greeks are often regarded as having invented science as they explained natural phenomena without attributing them to supernatural causes.
The adolescent and young adult microbiome and its association with substance use: a scoping review
Authors: Browning Brittney D , Kirkland Anna E , Green Rejoyce , Engevik Melinda , Alekseyenko Alexander V , Leggio Lorenzo , Tomko Rachel L , Squeglia Lindsay M 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Aims
The microbiome is a critical factor in health throughout human development. The aims of this scoping review are to (i) elucidate the differences between the youth (post-natal day 21–65 for rodents, 2–7 years for non-human primates, and 10–25 years for humans) microbiome with other life stages and (ii) identify youth-specific microbial changes associated with substance use.

Methods
Peer-reviewed studies published up to May 2023 were identified in PubMed and SCOPUS and included gut and oral microbiome studies from rodents, non-human primates, and humans (N = 1733). Twenty-six articles were determined eligible based on inclusion criteria (aim 1: n = 19, aim 2: n = 7).

Results
The adolescent and young adult oral and gut microbiomes are distinct compared to other life stages, within both non-human and human models. While there is limited research in this area, the microbiome appears to be vulnerable to substance use exposure earlier in life, including substances commonly initiated and escalated during adolescence and young adulthood (i.e. alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco).

Conclusions
Studies across the lifespan indicate that adolescence and young adulthood are distinct periods of development, where the microbiome is sensitive to exposures, including substance use. There is a need for more studies focused on the adolescent and young adult microbiome and substance use, as well as focused on the oral microbiome during this developmental period. Understanding the gut and oral microbiome during adolescence and young adulthood may provide insight into the pathophysiology of substance use disorders.
Shock or jump: deimatic behaviour is repeatable and polymorphic in the Apennine yellow-bellied toad, Bombina pachypus
Authors: Chiocchio Andrea , Martino Giuseppe , Bisconti Roberta , Carere Claudio , Canestrelli Daniele 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Inter-individual variation in antipredatory behaviour has long attracted curiosity among scientists. Deimatism is a complex, multi-component antipredatory strategy consisting of prey suddenly unleashing unexpected defences to startle predators and stop their attack. Deimatic species provide an appealing system to investigate the trade-offs between alternative behavioural phenotypes when faced with a threat. Yet, inter-individual variation in deimatic behaviour is almost unexplored. Here, we simulated a predator attack on 71 yellow-bellied toads, Bombina pachypus, to investigate the extent and pattern of inter-individual variation in the unken reflex behaviour, a deimatic display performed by some amphibians. Results show that deimatic displays consistently differ among B. pachypus individuals. Only about half of the individuals reacted to the simulated predation stimuli by exhibiting the display, which varied in responsiveness, duration and intensity. All the behavioural descriptors were highly repeatable. Finally, we found significant correlations between the measured parameters, defining two prevalent behavioural profiles: individuals quickly doing the unken reflex, with high intensity and long duration of the display, and individuals avoiding the unken reflex but instead escaping. This dichotomy resembles the proactive and reactive patterns in coping styles, and raises intriguing questions on the evolutionary processes shaping multiple adaptive responses to predation within populations.
