Translating living pictures
Authors: Widhe Olle 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter analyzes the first known photographic picturebook for children published in Swedish, En barndomsdag.
Sex bilder ur verkligheten (A childhood day. Six pictures from reality, 1879, original Ein Tag aus dem Kinderleben.
Scenen nach dem Leben componirt, 1877) by M. Scherer and H. Engler. The photographic images in collotype were accompanied
by a lyrical translation written by the well-established Fenno-Swedish author Zacharias Topelius, reassuring a success on the
Swedish-speaking book market. The overarching aim of the chapter is to analyze the book’s visual and verbal interplay in light of the
intermedial context surrounding its publication, as En barndomsdag not only was set to music and played both in
Sweden and Finland, but also adopted into a theatrical performance in six tableaux, presenting a child’s life on stage accompanied by
songs. This chapter therefore considers the interplay between the visual and verbal in En barndomsdag in its
historical context and examines translation as an ekphrasis practice with ideological and aesthetical implications.
As ‘objectively’ as possible.
On truth and objectivity in photographic early-concept books
Authors: Meibauer Jörg 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Photographic picturebooks appear to have a special relationship to reality. In contrast to paintings and drawings, photos
are often said to convey true and objective information about the world. Drawing on recent work in picture theory and the philosophy
of pictures, the question is posed as to what extent this general picture is correct. This chapter contributes to the theoretical
debate by analyzing The First Picture Book (1930) by Mary Steichen Calderone and Edward Steichen (phot.), viewed as a
photographic archetype. Moreover, the differences to The Second Picture Book (1931) by the same authors are worked out. The main thesis of this chapter is that photographic early-concept
books serve the purpose of implicitly teaching children about the representational nature of pictures. This is the basis for
children’s understanding of picturebooks in general.
“A successful photograph is worth as much as a story”
Authors: Campagnaro Marnie 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Bruno Munari was an Italian artist, graphic designer, and illustrator who combined art and design to great effect in his
visual art and books. During his long, interdisciplinary career, Munari experimented with many artistic possibilities: painting,
illustration, sculpture, design, graphics, teaching, poetry, and writing. He also cultivated a peculiar relationship with photography.
This chapter investigates photography’s influence on Munari’s poetics, from Futurism and other Avant-garde movements to the Bauhaus
and László Moholy-Nagy’s work, graphic design experimentation, and collaborations with photographers. His multifaceted approach can be
investigated through two editorial project typologies: photocollage and photographic picturebooks. What is discussed is how historic,
artistic, and cultural photography influenced his children’s works and to what extent photographic experimentation affected Munari’s
creativity and aesthetics in his original books.
Portrait of the child as a socialist
Authors: Kümmerling-Meibauer Bettina , Meibauer Jörg 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter focuses on portraits of children in three photographic picturebooks from the German Democratic Republic
(GDR). While these picturebooks draw largely on modernist photography in the postwar period, they also react sensitively to
ideological demands from the official state authorities. To demonstrate this influence, this chapter exemplifies that these photobooks
represent different aesthetic and ideological strategies. While Bullermax (1964) by Edith Rimkus and Horst Beseler is an exemplar of a poetic strategy and Matti im Wald (Matti in the
Forest, 1966) by the same couple represents a realistic strategy, Kleiner Bruder
Staunemann (Little Brother Marveling Man, 1966) by Hans Hüttner and Lotti Ortner
stands for a propagandistic strategy. The chapter analyzes the inherent socialist values of the three books by stressing the idea of
the curious socialist child and the effects of montage.
Explicit formulae for surface gravities in stationary circular axi-symmetric spacetimes
Authors: Baines Joshua , Visser Matt 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Using minimalist assumptions we develop a natural functional decomposition for the spacetime metric, and explicit tractable formulae for the surface gravities, in arbitrary stationary circular (PT symmetric) axisymmetric spacetimes. We relate rigidity results, (the existence of a Killing horizon), and the zeroth law to the absence of curvature singularities at the would-be horizons. These observations are of interest to both observational astrophysicists (modelling the cold, dark, heavy objects at the center of most spiral galaxies), and to the analogue spacetime community, (wherein the presence of naked singularities is not necessarily deprecated, and the occurrence of non-Killing horizons is relatively common).

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Children are sensitive to radiation; therefore, it is necessary to reduce radiation dose as much as possible in pediatric patients. In addition, it is crucial to investigate the optimal imaging conditions as they considerably affect the radiation dose. In this study, we investigated the effect of different imaging conditions on image quality and optimized the imaging conditions for dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) examinations to diagnose ectopic eruptions and impacted teeth in children. To achieve our aims, we evaluated radiation doses and subjective and objective image quality. The CBCT scans were performed using 3D Accuitomo F17. All combinations of a tube voltage (90 kV), tube currents (1, 2, 3 mA), fields of view (FOVs) (4 × 4, 6 × 6 cm), and rotation angles (360°, 180°) were used. Dose-area product values were measured. SedentexCT IQ cylindrical phantom was used to physically evaluate the image quality. We used the modulation transfer function as an index of resolution, the noise power spectrum as an index of noise characteristics, and the system performance function as an overall evaluation index of the image. Five dentists visually evaluated the images from the head-neck phantom. The results showed that the image quality tended to worsen, and scores for visual evaluation decreased as tube currents, FOVs and rotation angles decreased. In particular, image noise negatively affected the delineation of the periodontal ligament space. The optimal imaging conditions were 90 kV, 2 mA, 4 × 4 cm FOV and 180° rotation. These results suggest that CBCT radiation doses can be significantly reduced by optimizing the imaging conditions.
Label-free long-range detection of prostate cancer biomarkers based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering
Authors: Lai Chunhong , Zeng Cheng , Wen Jing , Jiang Xiaoming 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In the field of prostate cancer based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the repeatability of detection is crucial for its practical application in clinical medicine. We propose to use a new SERS substrate based on a polymer planar waveguide in combination with microfluidic technology and utilized in the label-free detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in serum. The experimental results show that the detection limit of the substrate for PSA sample solution is as low as 10 pg ml−1. Additionally, the optimal transmission length for PSA is determined to be 9 mm. Further examinations encompass repetitive testing of serum samples spiked with PSA at a concentration of 4 ng ml−1, revealing a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 5.01%. This outcome is compared with single-point detection, manifesting a notable enhancement of 9.81% in terms of RSD, signifying a marked improvement in repeatability. Notably, our method not only capitalizes on the long-range averaging effect to enhance the repeatability of Raman signals, but also circumvents sample damage resulting from direct laser irradiation.
Traversable Lorentzian wormhole on the Shtanov-Sahni braneworld with matter obeying the energy conditions
Authors: Sengupta Rikpratik , Ghosh Shounak , Kalam Mehedi 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In this paper we have explored the possibility of constructing a traversable wormhole on the Shtanov-Sahni braneworld with a timelike extra dimension. We find that the Weyl curvature singularity at the throat of the wormhole can be removed with physical matter satisfying the NEC ρ + p ≥ 0, even in the absence of any effective Λ-term or any type of charge source on the brane. (The NEC is however violated by the effective matter description on the brane arising due to effects of higher dimensional gravity.) Besides satisfying NEC the matter constituting the wormhole also satisfies the Strong Energy Condition (SEC), ρ + 3p ≥ 0, leading to the interesting possibility that normal matter on the brane may be harnessed into a wormhole. Incidentally, these conditions also need to be satisfied to realize a non-singular bounce and cyclic cosmology on the brane [1] where both past and future singularities can be averted. Thus, such a cyclic universe on the brane, constituted of normal matter can naturally contain wormholes. The wormhole shape function on the brane with a time-like extra dimension represents the tubular structure of the wormhole spreading out at large radial distances much better than in wormholes constructed in a braneworld with a spacelike extra dimension and have considerably lower mass resulting in minimization of the amount of matter required to construct a wormhole. Wormholes in the Shtanov-Sahni (SS) braneworld also have sufficiently low tidal forces, facilitating traversability. Additionally they are found to be stable and exhibit a repulsive geometry. We are left with the intriguing possibility that both types of curvature singularity can be resolved with the SS model, which we discuss at the end of the concluding section.
Cosmic ray mass composition at the knee using azimuthal fluctuations of air shower particles detected at ground by the KASCADE experiment
Authors: Arsene N. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The presence of hadronic sub-showers causes azimuthal non-uniformity in the particle distributions on the ground in vertical air showers. The LCm parameter, which quantifies the non-uniformity of the signal recorded in detectors located at a given distance on a ring around the shower axis, has been successfully introduced as a gamma/hadron discriminator at PeV energies [23]. In this work, we demonstrate that the LCm parameter can effectively serve as a mass composition discriminator in experiments that employ a compact array of detectors, like KASCADE.
We reconstruct the LCm parameter distributions in the energy range lg(E/eV) = [15.0 – 16.0] using measurements from the KASCADE experiment, with intervals of lg(E/eV) = 0.2, which are then fitted with MC templates for five primary nuclei species p, He, C, Si, and Fe considering three hadronic interaction models: QGSjet-II-04, EPOS-LHC and SIBYLL 2.3d.
We find that the LCm parameter exhibits minimal dependence on the specific hadronic interaction model considered.
The reconstructed fractions of individual species demonstrate a linear decrease in the abundance of protons and He nuclei with increasing energy, while the heavier components become prevalent above the knee as predicted by all three hadronic interaction models. Our findings indicate that the abundance of particle types as a function of energy aligns with different astrophysical models that link the knee to the acceleration and propagation of cosmic rays within the Galaxy. Furthermore, they also demonstrate excellent agreement with three more recent data-driven astrophysical models. These findings suggest that the LCm parameter could be a valuable tool for forthcoming measurements of the LHAASO experiment to enhance our knowledge about the origin and acceleration mechanisms of cosmic rays.
Universal calcium fluctuations in Hydra morphogenesis
Authors: Agam Oded , Braun Erez 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Understanding the collective physical processes that drive robust morphological transitions in animal development necessitates the characterization of the relevant fields involved in morphogenesis. Calcium (Ca2+) is recognized as one such field. In this study, we demonstrate that the spatial fluctuations of Ca2+ during Hydra regeneration exhibit universal characteristics. To investigate this phenomenon, we employ two distinct controls, an external electric field and heptanol, a gap junction-blocking drug. Both lead to the modulation of the Ca2+ activity and a reversible halting of the regeneration process. The application of an electric field enhances Ca2+ activity in the Hydra’s tissue and increases its spatial correlations, while the administration of heptanol inhibits its activity and diminishes the spatial correlations. Remarkably, the statistical characteristics of Ca2+ spatial fluctuations, including the coefficient of variation and skewness, manifest universal shape distributions across tissue samples and conditions. We introduce a field-theoretic model, describing fluctuations in a tilted double-well potential, which successfully captures these universal properties. Moreover, our analysis reveals that the Ca2+ activity is spatially localized, and the Hydra’s tissue operates near the onset of bistability, where the local Ca2+ activity fluctuates between low and high excited states in distinct regions. These findings highlight the prominent role of the Ca2+ field in Hydra morphogenesis and provide insights into the underlying mechanisms governing robust morphological transitions.
Asymptotic analysis of multi-valley dark soliton solutions in defocusing coupled Hirota equations
Authors: Jiang Ziwei , Ling Liming 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
We construct uniform expressions of such dark soliton solutions encompassing both single-valley and double-valley dark solitons for the defocusing coupled Hirota equation with high-order nonlinear effects utilizing the uniform Darboux transformation, in addition to proposing a sufficient condition for the existence of the above dark soliton solutions. Furthermore, the asymptotic analysis we perform reveals that collisions for single-valley dark solitons typically exhibit elastic behavior; however, collisions for double-valley dark solitons are generally inelastic. In light of this, we further propose a sufficient condition for the elastic collisions of double-valley dark soliton solutions. Our results offer valuable insights into the dynamics of dark soliton solutions in the defocusing coupled Hirota equation and can contribute to the advancement of studies in nonlinear optics.

Structural response characteristics of TMA during water-entry procedure
Authors: Hao Dong , Yu Jing 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This work presents a comprehensive numerical investigation of the structural responses of the Trans-Medium Aircrafts (TMA) during a water-entry event and the max mises-stress, the acceleration, and the water-entry deepness are analyzed and discussed. The simulating finite element model of the elastic field and the fluid field are imitated and solved by the coupled euler lagrange (CEL) method. The water-entry velocity is set from 0 m/s to 8 m/s. From the results, the max mises-stress is about 24 MPa and the max acceleration of all simulation conditions is 110000 m/s2. Considering the elastic effect of the TMA structure, the current research is of great importance to the TMA’s structural design scheme.
Characteristic analysis of earthquake sound signal based on wavelet transform
Authors: Hu Jiangchun , Liu Zhipeng , Wang Qin , Huang Xuewei , An Luyang , Wang Chenxu 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Earthquake is a kind of natural disaster with strong destructive power. As a kind of earthquake precursor signal, earthquake sound is of great significance of earthquake prediction. According to the characteristics of the earthquake sound signal, the earthquake sound monitoring data ten days before the earthquake was analysed using wavelet technology, the earthquake sound monitoring signals of different frequency bands was compared, and the change rule of the earthquake sound signal within ten days before the earthquake was emphatically studied. It was concluded that: the infrasound wave signal with normal fluctuation changed regularly into time; Ten days before the earthquake, the peak mutation of infrasonic signal occurred, which increased exponentially compared with the mean peak mutation value of earthquake sound signal. The number of this abnormal phenomenon increased to the shortening of the impending earthquake time, especially five days before the earthquake; The intensity of the earthquake sound signal in the frequency band of the infrasonic wave is gradually decreasing from the increase in the signal frequency. By studying the variation characteristics of earthquake sound signal with time before earthquake, it is of certain reference significance to study the correlation between abnormal ground earthquake signal and earthquake in earthquake prediction.
Bifurcation & stochastic analysis of chaotic finance system through entanglement function
Authors: Yao Kutorzi Edwin , Shi Yufeng 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In this novel chaotic financial system, by varying the set-aside bifurcation parameter, the existence of the Hopf bifurcation is investigated. The results are used to discuss equilibrium stability and bifurcations in the modern chaotic system. Added to that, there is an element of chaos in mathematical systems with only one positive Lyapunov exponent. Furthermore, there are conditions in which bifurcation is required to achieve chaotic entanglement. The entanglement functions are designed to form an artificially chaotic system such that two or more stable linear subsystems evolve chaotically, no matter how far apart they are. The Gaussian noise is introduced to normalize or bridge the empirical distribution function of the random variables system and check the convergence. Beyond that, the stochastic model emphasizes the relationships between dissipation, phase space flow, and stability. The maximum dissipation of the system increased as the stochastic financial stability increased.
Plasma emission monitored via optical emission spectroscopy during the Cs conditioning at SPIDER

Published: September 2023

Abstract
The SPIDER test facility is the full-size ITER neutral beam injector (NBI) ion source,
required to provide 355 A/m2 extracted negative ion current density in hydrogen
(285 A/m2 in deuterium) with an electron-to-ion ratio lower than 0.5 (one in
deuterium). The negative ion source is attached to a three-grids extraction and acceleration
system. The operational conditions for the cases presented in this work involve short pulses (up
to about 30 s length) repeated every five to six minutes. The duty cycle can be adjusted. In
order to fulfil the requirement on the extracted negative ion current with reduced amount of
co-extracted electrons, the evaporation of caesium into the ion source through Cs ovens (three in
SPIDER) and the optimisation of Cs conditioning techniques are mandatory. At SPIDER, the plasma
is monitored via optical emission spectroscopy techniques measuring the plasma emission in a
line-of-sight (LOS) integrated manner in several positions inside the ion source. In particular,
close to the extraction region, two sets (centred at 5 mm and at 35 mm distance from the plasma
grid) of four horizontal LOSs are used to retrieve the vertical profile of the plasma emission.
During the Cs conditioning campaign performed at SPIDER, although the extraction capabilities were
reduced due to technical problems, the RF power coupled to the plasma reached 400 kW with all four
RF generators working simultaneously. The negative ions produced by surface emission affects the
plasma radiation, and the ion source performances in terms of extracted negative ions and
co-extracted electrons. The aim of this work is to study the evolution of the plasma emission
over the initial phase of the Cs conditioning campaign. The effect of Cs conditioning on the
extracted negative ions and electrons is also presented and discussed.
