Published: July 2023

Abstract
Nitrogen content has an prominent effect on the properties of rolling material and demands should be paid more attention. Even then the residuary nitrogen in steel is quite small, it has an impotent effect on the mechanical properties of materials. The present nitrogen content control process is relatively briefness and it needs to be farther studied. In this paper, through the analysis of possible nitrogen increase and nitrogen control-related production processes in the whole metallurgical process of steel, nitrogen control, and nitrogen reduction are carried out in stages by using an optimized smelting process. After adopting the new process, the final nitrogen in EAF can be reduced by 50%, the vacuum nitrogen removal efficiency can be increased by 20%, the nitrogen increase in continuous casting can be controlled below 5 ppm, and the final nitrogen content in rolled steel can be reduced to below 50 ppm.
Implementation of ACTS for STCF track reconstruction
Authors: Ai Xiaocong , Huang Xingtao , Liu Yi 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
With an electron-positron collider operating at
center-of-mass-energy 2–7 GeV and a peak luminosity above
0.5 × 1035 cm-2 s-1, the STCF physics program
will provide an unique platform for in-depth studies of hadron
structure and non-perturbative strong interaction as well as probing
new physics beyond the Standard Model in the τ-Charm sector,
succeeding the present Beijing Electron-Positron Collider. To
fulfill the physics targets and further maximize the physics
potential at STCF, the STCF tracking software should have capability
to reconstruct charged particles with high efficiency and excellent
momentum resolution, especially for the charged particles with low
transverse momentum down to 50 MeV. A Common Tracking Software
(ACTS) providing a set of detector-independent tracking algorithms
is adopted for reconstructing charged tracks with the information of
two sub-detectors, a μRWELL-based inner tracker and a drift
chamber, at STCF. This is the first demonstration of ACTS for a
drift chamber. The implementation details and performance of track
reconstruction are presented.
Attributing the driving mechanisms of the 2015–2017 drought in the Western Cape (South Africa) using self-organising maps
Authors: Odoulami Romaric C , Wolski Piotr , New Mark 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The Southwestern Cape (SWC) region in South Africa experienced a severe rainfall deficit between 2015–2017. The resulting drought caused the City of Cape Town to almost run out of water during the summer of 2017–2018. Using the self-organising maps approach, we identify and classify the synoptic circulation states over Southern Africa known to influence the local climate in the SWC into three groups (dry, intermediate, and wet circulation types) using large ensembles of climate model simulations with anthropogenic forcing and natural forcing. We then assessed the influence of anthropogenic climate change on the likelihood of these circulation types and associated rainfall amounts over the SWC during the drought. Our findings suggest that during the drought, the frequency of dry (wet) circulation types increases (decreases) across all models under anthropogenic forcing relative to the natural forcing. While there was no clear direction in the associated rainfall change in the dry circulation types, rainfall decreased across most models in wet nodes. All models agree that anthropogenic climate change has increased the likelihood of dry circulation types (median probability ratio (PR): 0.93–0.96) and decreased that of wet circulation types (median PR: 1.01 and 1.12), indicating a shift towards lesser (more) wet (dry) synoptic circulation states and associated rainfall during the drought. The long-term climatology also depicts similar patterns indicating the drought may result from long-term changes in the frequency of wet circulations and their associated rainfall. This study further explains the anthropogenic influence on the dynamic (synoptic circulation states) and thermodynamic (rainfall) factors that influenced the SWC 2015–2017 drought.
Spatially detailed agricultural and food trade between China and the United States

Abstract
The United States and China are key nations in global agricultural and food trade. They share a complex bilateral agri-food trade network in which disruptions could have a global ripple effect. Yet, we do not understand the spatially resolved connections in the bilateral US–China agri-food trade. In this study, we estimate the bilateral agri-food trade between Chinese provinces and U.S. states and counties. First, we estimate bilateral imports and exports of agri-food commodities for provinces and states. Second, we model link-level connections between provinces and states/counties. To do this, we develop a novel algorithm that integrates a variety of national and international databases for the year 2017, including trade data from the US Census Bureau, the US Freight Analysis Framework database, and Multi-Regional Input-Output tables for China. We then adapt the food flow model for inter-county agri-food movements within the US to estimate bilateral trade through port counties. We estimate 2,954 and 162,922 link-level connections at the state-province and county-province resolution, respectively, and identify core nodes in the bilateral agri-food trade network. Our results provide a spatially detailed mapping of the US–China bilateral agri-food trade, which may enable future research and inform decision-makers.

Abstract
We provide a procedure for deriving Hamiltonian reduced fluid models for plasmas, starting from a Hamiltonian gyrokinetic system in the

approximation. The procedure generalizes, to a considerable extent, previous results. In particular, the evolution of moments with respect to the magnetic moment coordinate is also taken into account, together with background density and magnetic inhomogeneities. In the limit of vanishing Finite Larmor Radius (FLR) effects, an infinite family of reduced electron drift-fluid equations is derived, evolving all the electron moments

In both the drift and gyrofluid case, the key for the identification of the Hamiltonian structure resides in changes of variables based on orthogonal matrices that diagonalize the Jacobi matrices associated with Hermite and Laguerre polynomials. In terms of the transformed variables, the drift and gyrofluid equations are cast in a simple form, which reduces to advection equations for Lagrangian invariants in the two-dimensional case with homogeneous background. Because the procedure requires to evolve, for a particle species s, all and only the moments

Abstract
Since 2011, the University of Genoa (UniGe), Italy, focused on sustainable management of its campuses. In one of them, the Savona Campus, research and projects are specifically focused on Sustainable Energy and Smart City topics. Great efforts were made to reduce the carbon footprint by the creation of two large Research Infrastructures (a Smart Microgrid and an energy self-sufficient building) integrating different renewable energy sources and system automation. These infrastructures allowed to improve the energy performance of the Campus. Several actions have been then carried out also in the Genova Campus, including the implementation of a system for the real-time monitoring of the consumption of electricity for the most energy-intensive buildings. Results permitted to reduce energy consumption and provided significative and practical guidelines for energy saving. In 2015, the UniGe Commission on Environmental Sustainability was created and since then UniGe joined several international sustainability networks, such as ISCN (International Sustainable Campus Network) and UNICA GREEN (Network of Universities from the Capitals of Europe), sharing its best practices with other universities. UniGe is also active member of the Italian Universities’ Network for Sustainable Development (RUS). In 2022 UniGe made a strong and explicit pledge against climate change, defining its Climate Neutrality Strategy 2022-2030. The strategy, starting from its latest UniGe greenhouse gases (GHG) inventory, outlines a path that the university must follow to reduce both direct and indirect emissions and defines the actions to do for the offsetting of residual emissions. This is the last step of the strong and continuous commitment towards the spreading of the sustainability culture in all the Campus activities.
Adopting Smart Integrated AgriAquaculture IAA Techniques: A Sustainable Approach by Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University
Authors: Al-Zaini Essam O. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In light of recent developments in urban agriculture and the ongoing effects of climate change, there is a growing need for innovative irrigation practices that do not require potable water. On the other hand, significant environmental hazards are associated with the effective usage, treatment, and disposal of ever-increasing quantities of wastewater and sewage sludge in our modern times. Therefore, wastewater usage in irrigation might provide a potential alternative approach. In this regard, the water drained from fish farms is one type of wastewater capable of being employed in irrigation operations in a way that is both effective and helpful.
This article highlights the efforts made by Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University to establish intelligent integrated AgriAquaculture (IAA) systems on its campuses as part of its strategies to achieve sustainable goals. These efforts are part of Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University’s more enormous efforts to achieve its goals.

Abstract
Today we are facing environmental challenges that include climate change and energy security, environmental degradation, water and food security, overexploitation of all natural resources and other pressing environmental issues. The participation of D.Serikbayev EKTU in the Green Metric world ranking has become the basis for the strategic development of the university to maintain the sustainability and environmental of the campus. Systematic work to improve the indicators of the Green Metric questionnaire provided not only a worthy position of EKTU (123 place) among almost 1000 universities in the world, but also allowed to increase the share of buildings where “green” and “smart” campus technologies are implemented, thereby reducing energy and resource consumption. The results achieved in the field of energy and climate change show that purposeful work to improve the indicators in the ratings can lead to the desired results in terms of sustainability and environmental friendliness.

Abstract
Covid-19 pandemic followed by the economic crisis that engulfed Sri Lanka (SL) has forced us to redefine strategies in transforming education towards sustainability. During and after the pandemic period, the University of Kelaniya (UOK) invested in multiple upgrades to its learning management system, server capacities, wifi access points, web-based educational resources, and development of human capital both academic and academic support. This preparedness has enabled UOK to continue academic activities in the midst of the current economic crisis in SL. Though distance learning was critical during the pandemic, university provides indispensable physical and social space. When resuming onsite learning, to enable an inclusive and conducive environment in classrooms, UOK is meeting green building ratings for its new constructions. Low-cost, on-campus student accommodations were improved in numbers, facilities, and access to differently-abled. Further, to ensure access to quality education despite the crippled economy and food scarcity, a cafeteria was converted into an energy-efficient, self-sustaining, non-profit venture that provides affordable, nutritional meals. Large scale vegetable cultivation project was initiated using compost produced as part of the solid waste management plan at the university to support the cafeteria. Simultaneously, support programs and awareness programs were conducted on managing mental health, nutritional requirements, and finances in an economic crisis. These programs were extended to the community with the support of students, facilitating education through social engagements. Last, despite budget cuts, funding for research was secured, with the hope of transforming education at UOK towards a sustainable future.

Immersed from Day One - How the Science Club revolutionized UITM Sustainability Education
Authors: Berniak-Woźny Justyna , Palimąka Karolina 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In 2021, Forbes argued that Gen Z is emerging as the “generation of sustainable development.” Research conducted in 2018 by the National Union of Students, United Kingdom, also shows that as many as 81% of students are interested in the idea of Sustainable Development. Inspired by these, the Financial Science Club FLOW conducted research in the 2020/2021 academic year, to analyse the level of awareness of sustainable development among students (n=514). Although 70% of students declared that they had encountered the concept of Sustainable Development before, the study’s results were not optimistic because not all have basic knowledge of this subject. However, 83% of students considered that individual actions are important as they influence the shaping of the market and the progress of sustainable development. Based on these results and students’ convictions, there is great potential to create and implement innovative and flexible solutions that change universities into green and sustainable organizations. UITM has developed a comprehensive program to include students in activities about sustainable development from the first day of their student life.

Abstract
Indonesia adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2017. SDG adoption requires village governments to implement this strategy into village development plans. There is a need for more efforts from the village government to increase awareness about the importance of development with environmental sustainability. The research aims to determine village compliance with the SDGs Desa policies at the planning, implementation, transparency, and reporting stages. Data analysis involves reviewing work plans, money allocations, and reports implementation and then classifying them into different categories. The output data required is the number of program implementation activities aligned with the Village SDGs objectives, the budget allocation, and the implementation report. This research focused on villages with independent status in the Pelepat Ilir Subdistrict, Bungo District. Each village has complied with several goals in the SDGs Desa by carrying out various infrastructure development, community development, and empowerment activities. However, there are still four goals that are not complied with, namely plans 1, 10, 13, and 17. Based on some of the conclusions above, it is necessary to monitor and formulate additional policies to explain to the village government that development must also consider equity, support for the marginalized, and side by side with environmental sustainability.
