Moras are about length not about weight
Authors: Jacobs Haike 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Expressing syllable weight by moras leads to two problems. First, there are languages, such as Wolof, with long
vowels and geminates, which both make a syllable bimoraic, but where only long vowels, but not geminates, count as heavy for
stress. Second, there are languages in which closed syllables are light for stress, but heavy for segmental modifications
(laryngeal metathesis in Cayuga and degemination in Chugach Alutiiq). It is argued that a two-layered mora model is not required
and that a straightforward Harmonic Serialism is able to directly express that laryngeal metathesis and degemination make an
unstressed syllable light.
Toward a supralexical analysis of the repetitive/restitutive ambiguity
Authors: Talsma Marjolein Wietske 
Published: October 2022

AbstractSyntactic decomposition theories of argument structure take predicates to be syntactically complex, consisting of a root and one or more functional heads. Traditionally, these functional heads have been used as potential attachment sites for adverbs, such as the repetitive adverbagain,giving rise to the repetitive/restitutive ambiguity. In this paper, I question the assumption that these functional heads provide sublexical attachment sites based on theoretical and empirical objections. Taking both the scope of the adverb and effects of focus into account, I present a supralexical approach to the ambiguity. Discussing novel data of two Dutch repetitive adverbs as well as a repetitive verbal prefix, I argue thatagainhas a default restitutive reading that becomes repetitive if the adverb scopes over the object or if focus is placed on the adverb. This research has implications for syntactic decomposition approaches to argument structure.
Integrating deictic co-speech gestures in demonstrative forms
Authors: Terenghi Silvia 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Deictic co-speech gestures (DCSGs) are commonly regarded as intimately related to exophoric demonstrative forms; yet, no account is available that formalises this relation. This paper proposes that DCSGs spell-out part of the internal structure of exophoric demonstratives: concretely, they contribute the spatial coordinates (direction and distance, syntactically encoded by the Demonstrative ‘Dem’ head and by a Measure Phrase ‘MeasP’ that modifies it, respectively) that identify the location of the demonstrative’s referent and the deictic centre. This naturally captures the intuition that exophoric demonstratives and DCSGs are related, under a multi-modal spell-out approach to demonstrative forms. Further, this proposal is compatible with independent facts regarding both the grammaticalisation of demonstrative forms and their acquisition.
There is more to the morphology of -š/ -iš
Authors: Vyshnevska Anastasiia 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
There are two comparative suffixes in Ukrainian: the productive -iš, and the non-productive
-š. Following Caha et al. (2019) I show that just like in Czech,
the distribution of these two suffixes in Ukrainian is regulated not by phonology, but by morphosyntax. The theory of Nanosyntax
(Starke 2009) is used in order to account for the data. The comparative meaning is
represented in syntax not by one but by two functional heads. To be more precise, I propose that in Ukrainian -iš
is decomposed into two morphemes -i and -š, where -i spells out the lower head
and -š spells out the higher one. The issue of suppletive adjectives is discussed as well. I argue that
suppletion can be accounted for using the nanosyntactic concept of pointers. As a result, this approach helps to explain the
mechanism behind allomorphy of the comparative suffix in regular and suppletive adjectives in Ukrainian.
CRISPR/Cas9 as a promising genome-editing technology for generating low-immunogenic wheat variety: recent legislation and global implementation of genetically engineered crops

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Modern wheat is a worldwide staple food. Gluten is an immune-dominant component of wheat. Consumption of wheat, in enetically predisposed individuals, triggers immunological reactions causing gluten-related disorders (GRDs) including celiac disease (CD). A gluten-free diet currently is the sole effective treatment option for GRDs and CD. A low-immunogenic wheat variety can be beneficial for such individuals. In recent years, various biotechnology-based approaches have been applied to develop a hypoimmunogenic wheat variety. Such safe wheat options have been developed using genetically modified organisms (GMO) technologies. However, due to specific limitations, such varieties have not been accepted for domestic consumption. Recent studies suggest that genome editing (GE) techniques such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas9) modified non-transgenic wheat variety could be a safer option for GRDs and CD. This review article discusses how CRISPR/Cas 9 gene-editing system is being applied for the development of a celiac-safe wheat variety. We found that CRISPR/cas9 edited-wheat could be safe for general use. However, CRISPR/Cas9 edited wheat varieties are under development and so far, not approved for cultivation in multiple countries. Considering the regulations for GMO and GE crops, the possibilities of their implementation must be explored in the coming time. Further, CRISPR/Cas9 edited wheat variety may reduce the burden of gluten-cross contamination and could be helpful in the management of CD and GRDs. However, further efforts are needed to bring such wheat varieties into domestic consumption and additional studies are needed to verify the effect of low-immunogenic wheat on the gluten-cross contamination issue.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Superelastic alloy (SEA) bars are widely used in structures subjected to moderate and strong earthquakes. Compared with conventional nickel-titanium (NiTi) SEAs, Cu–Al–Mn (CAM) SEAs has received increasing attention recently due to their cost-effectiveness and easier machinability. The authors’ previous research showed that despite their lower strength and limitations in the maximum length, the CAM SEAs have comparable superelastic strain recovery, a wider temperature range, and superior strain rate stability compared to NiTi SEAs. However, the previous research was limited to a few specimens and only conducted to a few hundred cycles without considering the full deterioration in the material properties. Besides, the existing research on CAM SEA was only limited to small sample sizes at room temperature, while the fatigue performance of large diameter CAM SEAs under low and high temperatures relevant for civil engineering structures has not been reported. To fill this knowledge gap, low-cycle fatigue performance of 20 mm diameter CAM SEAs was studied at room temperature 25 °C, low temperature, −40 °C, and high temperature, 50 °C. Both single crystal and polycrystal CAM SEAs were investigated to determine their feasibility as concrete reinforcement under repeated high strain loading cycles expected during an earthquake. Strain cycles up to 50 000 have been applied at a tensile strain amplitude of 5%. Variations in the superelastic properties were observed and analyzed, including the stress–strain curves, elastic modulus, transformation stresses, damping ratio and recovery strain. Stable hysteresis has been observed for cycles exceeding tens of thousands at all temperatures demonstrating the suitability of CAM SEAs for seismic applications in civil engineering structures.
The surprising persistence of time-dependent quantum entanglement
Authors: Kinsler Paul , McCall Martin W , Oulton Rupert F , Clark Alex S 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The mismatch between elegant theoretical models and the detailed experimental reality is particularly pronounced in quantum nonlinear interferometry (QNI). In stark contrast to theory, experiments contain pump beams that start in impure states and that are depleted, quantum noise that affects—and drives—any otherwise gradual build up of the signal and idler fields, and nonlinear materials that are far from ideal and have a complicated time-dependent dispersive response. Notably, we would normally expect group velocity mismatches to destroy any possibility of measurable or visible entanglement, even though it remains intact—the mismatches change the relative timings of induced signal–idler entanglements, thus generating ‘which path’ information. Using an approach based on the positive-P representation, which is ideally suited to such problems, we are able to keep detailed track of the time-domain entanglement crucial for QNI. This allows us to show that entanglement can be—and is—recoverable despite the obscuring effects of real-world complications; and that recovery is attributable to an implicit time-averaging present in the detection process.
Observation and biomedical application of plasmon-enhanced fluorescence induced multiple stimulated Stokes Raman scattering in FITC-conjugated gold nanoparticles solution

Published: October 2022

Abstract
This work describes the observation of multi-wavelengths due to stimulated Raman scattering from deep red to near-infrared (NIR) induced by plasmon-enhanced fluorescence (PEF) of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) conjugated gold nanoparticles (F-AuNP) excited by 488 nm diode laser. Coupling between the near-field of localized surface plasmons of AuNP with molecules amplifies the fluorescence signal i.e. brightness hence the quantum yield by several orders of magnitude. Resonance Rayleigh scattering and PEF conditions are satisfied due to the overlapping of 488 nm of the laser beam with the maximum absorbance of FITC, and the SPR of AuNP with FITC emission spectrum at ≈525 nm. PEF acts as Stoke sand secondary pump beam for further optical excitation. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) showed FITC molecular bonds at 600, 1680, and a weak deviation at 1280 cm−1, respectively. Longer wavelengths with higher output power were observed between 180° and 270°, and shorter wavelengths with lower power between 90° and 0° respectively. F-AuNPs were incubated and up taken by the oyster mushroom (OM) grown in the lab for bioimaging purposes and studied by phase-contrast microscope (PCM), and fluorescence microscope (FM). The FM results revealed visible colours, which can be utilized for in vitro and in vivo biosensing applications.
High sensitivity photonic crystal sensor based on transition between photonic bands
Authors: González Evelyn Yamel , Medina José Antonio , Murillo José Guadalupe 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In this work, we performed a study of an interferometric high sensitivity photonic crystal (PhC) sensor applied to measure glucose concentration in human urine samples. The architecture of the photonic sensor numerically simulated is based on a Mach–Zehnder interferometer formed by a coupled waveguide-cavity system. The sensor operates using photonic mode transitions detected from the photonic band diagram analysis, driven by changes in the glucose concentration in the urine samples that affect the refractive index of the optical sampling cavity. The photonic mode transition causes a phase shift between the wave traveling in the reference arm of the interferometer and the propagating electromagnetic wave in the sensing cavity containing the probing sample. As a consequence, the transmittance at the output of the interferometer can be modulated, making it extremely sensitive to changes in the refractive index of the sensing cavity. Since the PhC sensor studied works under variations in transmittance, we proposed a sensitivity coefficient as a function of the change in transmittance per unit change in the refractive index. The sensitivity achieved by the photonic sensor presents a value of 7000%/RIU, which indicates a variation in transmittance of 70% for changes in the refractive index of 0.01. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using photonic transitions between modes as a sensing tool in integrated photonic devices.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) plays a pivotal role in the treatment of breast cancer (BC) and various thoracic malignancies. Radiation induced heart disease (RIHD) is one such long term toxicity which can offset the improvement in cancer specific mortality. Long term normal tissue toxicity is becoming a bigger concern, as early diagnosis and the improvement in the treatment of these cancers has led to patients surviving longer. Our research group on Physics applied to biomedical sciences has been investigating the side effects of BC treatment (RT and chemotherapy) for more than ten years. The cardiac regeneration has been studied to better understand the damage that occurs following radiation procedures in the heart tissue after many thoracic cancer treatments. One possible complication is coronary artery disease induced by irradiation after radiotherapy in thoracic area. Studies on the structures of cardiac tissue and the distribution of low atomic weight element can help to understand mechanisms associated with damage to healthy tissue, as these are of fundamental importance to metabolism in biological systems. The present study aimed to elucidate how radiotherapy in the thoracic area causes damage in the coronary artery, and to verify the potential use of losartan in reducing, or even preventing, the side effects of irradiation in this artery. To assess elemental and morphological differences in aortic and coronary samples, the Low Energy X-Ray Fluorescence (LEXRF) technique using Synchrotron Radiation was employed. SR- LEXRF and scanning transmission X-ray microscopy measurements were carried out at the beamline TwinMic at Elettra Sincrotrone Triste, Italy.

Abstract
This work is part of the NUMEN Project (NUclear Matrix Elements for Neutrinoless double beta decay), which, among other goals, aims to measure cross-section of double charge exchange reactions (DCE). In the experiments to be carried out at the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud, in Catania, Italy, a target deposited on a carefully chosen backing (substrate) will be irradiated with a high energy ion beam and, importantly, neither the target nor the substrate will be allowed to overheat as this would affect their structures and its properties, which are special for the experiment. Within this context, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was chosen as a substrate for the deposition of target elements that will be irradiated by ions such as 12C, 18O and 20Ne, with energies ranging from 15 MeV/u to 60 MeV/u. HOPG is considered a semimetal structured in layers, being composed of a stack of graphene sheets with a small and very subtle disorientation (less than 1°), which makes it to approach to a single crystal. With its specific flat hexagonal molecular structure, consisting only of carbon atoms, HOPG has good thermal conductivity in these sheets, making it an excellent candidate as a heat sink. However, for the HOPG to act with thermal energy dissipation functionality during the experiments proposed by the NUMEN project, it is necessary to verify whether possible changes caused by exposure to the radiation beam have a direct or indirect influence on its mechanical and thermal properties. Regarding the thermal conductivity, vacancies produced during irradiation is one of the factors that considerably decrease such property. As the production of vacancies during irradiation is one of the factors that considerably decrease thermal conductivity, in this work it was used the SRIM/TRIM code simulations to investigate the mechanisms of vacancy production in the target plus HOPG backing system. In the simulations, it was considered different types and doses of incident ion beams as well as different target thickness. From the results it was possible to estimated how long a target-HOPG system can be irradiated before the HOPG high heat conductivity property is lost.

Abstract
It is known that the determination of ingestion doses of radioactive elements is a complex problem due to the different metabolic behaviours of the human beings. To contribute to this topic, this work presents the analysis of the ingestion doses of 40K, 232Th and 238U in some species of herbal plants and fish. These analyses were done using technique of gamma ray spectrometry and applying the estimation models for ingestion dose of ICRP and IAEA. Furthermore, in this article was applied the analytic technique of Energy Dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) in the analysis of elementary composition and concentrations of components in those same species of herbal plants and fish.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The use of analytical, non-destructive, non-invasive, and portable techniques applied to the Cultural Heritage research represents a great collaboration between different sciences. With these methods, artwork can have its original pigments identified, as well as be checked for other pigments used in interventions. These techniques allow to identify the artist’s creative process without having to move the artwork to the laboratory. This study’s main advantage is assisting art historians, restorers and conservators, and correlating time-period artworks. The painting “Dr José Maria Chaves” (1873) by Victor Meirelles, from MASP’s collection, was the subject of this study by using imaging (VIS, RAK, UVL, and IRR) and spectroscopies (ED-XRF and Raman) methods. Through these it was possible to identify a few “pentiments” performed by the artist, many interventions, and different layers of varnish. Besides that, it was suggested the pigments used by the artist, highlighting the base preparation with Lead White and the uncommon use of Naples Yellow. This results help to increment the database about the Brazilian artist and his historical period, providing a better understanding of creative techniques, palletes, interventions, and strengthing the database for future works.
The origin of the K
∗ suppression at the LHC
Authors: Le Roux C. , Navarra F. S. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
When relativistic heavy ions collide, a plasma of quarks and gluons is created. It expands, cools down and eventually reaches the hadronization temperature, when a hadron gas phase is formed. In this phase, K
∗ and K can interact with light mesons and change their abundances with respect to the predictions of statistical hadronization models. In a previous article, we studied the effect of the cooling of the gas, the freeze-out temperature and the interaction cross sections on the K
∗/K yield ratio. In the present work, we investigate the effect of the different reaction mechanisms on this ratio. Our analysis showns that, out of all the possible interactions that the K
∗ and K mesons can undergo in the hadron gas, only the K
∗ decay and its inverse mechanism are indeed necessary to give a good description the observed yield in several collision systems studied by the ALICE collaboration.
Cluster Structures with Machine Learning Support in Neutron Star M-R relations
Authors: Lobato Ronaldo V. , Chimanski Emanuel V. , Bertulani Carlos A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Neutron stars (NS) are compact objects with strong gravitational fields, and a matter composition subject to extreme physical conditions. The properties of strongly interacting matter at ultra-high densities and temperatures impose a big challenge to our understanding and modelling tools. Some difficulties are critical, since one cannot reproduce such conditions in our laboratories or assess them purely from astronomical observations. The information we have about neutron star interiors are often extracted indirectly, e.g., from the star mass-radius relation. The mass and radius are global quantities and still have a significant uncertainty, which leads to great variability in studying the micro-physics of the neutron star interior. This leaves open many questions in nuclear astrophysics and the suitable equation of state (EoS) of NS. Recently, new observations appear to constrain the mass-radius and consequently has helped to close some open questions. In this work, utilizing modern machine learning techniques, we analyze the NS mass-radius (M-R) relationship for a set of EoS containing a variety of physical models. Our objective is to determine patterns through the M-R data analysis and develop tools to understand the EoS of neutron stars in forthcoming works.
Neutron star stability with equations of state breaking the conformal QCD limit

Abstract
We explore the structural stability of neutron stars against radial pulsations obtained by a set of equations of state calculated from successive interpolations between perturbative QCD at high densities and chiral effective field theory at low densities being constrained also by observational data at intermediate densities. In order to do this, we solve a pair of first-order coupled differential equations equivalent to the original Sturm-Liouville problem to obtain the zero-mode frequencies characterizing stable stars. Besides, we study the effects of mild and large breakings of the conformal limit put for the speed of sound,

Gauge fields renormalization groups and thermofractals
Authors: Deppman A. , Megías E. , Menezes D. P. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The perturbative approach to QCD has shown to be limited, and the difficulties to obtain accurate calculations in the low-energy region seems to be insurmountable. A recent approach uses the fractal structures of Yang-Mills Field Theory to circumvent those difficulties, allowing for the determination of an analytic expression for the running coupling. The results obtained are in agreement with several experimental findings, and explain many of the observed phenomena at high-energy collisions. In this work, we address some of the conceptual aspects of the fractal approach, which are expressed in terms of the renormalization group equation and the self-energy corrections to the parton mass. We associate these concepts with the origins of the fractal structure in the quantum field theory.
