Authors: Alzain Hassan , Hussein Karim , Jabr Ibrahim 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Edible films from carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/starch incorporated with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were developed. The prepared films were characterized by Fourier transforms infrared, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, swelling behaviour, and thermal and mechanical properties. Results showed a decrease in the average particle size of TiO2 nanoparticles with increasing irradiation dose up to 30 kGy. The swelling capacity of CMC/starch blends is ordered in the sequence of composition ratio 2:1 > 1:1 > 1:2. The effect of different irradiation doses (2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 kGy) and different concentrations of TiO2 (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 wt%) on the film properties was evaluated. The tensile strength increased gradually, accompanied by a decline in elongation percentage with the increase in the irradiation dose and increase in the TiO2 contents up to 2.5 wt%. The irradiated CMC/starch/TiO2 film showed higher thermal stability than CMC/starch film. Furthermore, the unirradiated and irradiated CMC/starch/TiO2 edible films were applied to fresh strawberries by surface coating. The irradiated film showed a superior effect in prolonging the fruits’ shelf life. The antimicrobial activity of CMC/starch/TiO2 film against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was increased by increasing the irradiation dose. In conclusion, CMC/starch/TiO2 edible film exhibited the prerequisite behaviour for potential application in active food packaging.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
In order to study the long-time safe storage performance of GaTo modified double base propellant, the accelerated aging tests at 65, 70, 75, and 85°C were conducted. The chemical stabilities, mechanical properties, and microstructure of the propellant samples were characterized by differential scanning calorimeter, bromize-titration, impact resistance testing, and field emission scanning electron microscopy in the aging duration. The results showed that the chemical stability of propellant became worse due to nitrate esters decomposition. The impact resistance degradation is the result of binder network collapse, phase separation between binder and plasticizer, and interfacial dewetting during aging. Hence, the storage life of the propellant at ambient temperature has been evaluated based on stabilizer depletion and impact resistance deterioration via Arrhenius approach

A latent profile analysis of Chinese EFL learners’ enjoyment and anxiety in reading and writing: associations with imaginative capacity and story continuation writing performance
Authors: Zhu Xinhua , Zhan Jianling , Yao Yuan 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Research on second language (L2) enjoyment and anxiety has mainly focused on independent reading and writing tasks. An integrated reading-writing task involves students in both reading and writing processes, raising the possibility of different combinations of, and unique interaction between, enjoyment and anxiety across reading and writing in such a task. This study aimed to identify integrated reading-writing task based enjoyment and anxiety profiles using a person-centered latent profile analysis (LPA) and to explore their relationships with imagination and performance. Six hundred and seventy-nine 12th-grade Chinese students completed an integrated reading-writing task, namely a story continuation writing task (SCWT), and a questionnaire measuring their L2 reading enjoyment and anxiety, writing enjoyment and anxiety, and imaginative capacity. The LPA identified four different profiles: (1) the moderate-enjoyment/moderate-anxiety group, (2) the moderate-enjoyment/low-anxiety group, (3) the high-enjoyment/moderate-anxiety group, and (4) the low-enjoyment/high-anxiety group. Further, a student’s profile membership was strongly predicted by imaginative capacity. Those in the moderate-enjoyment/low-anxiety group scored highest in story continuation writing performance. Pedagogical implications tailored to integrated reading-writing task instruction are discussed.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The dynamics of blood carrying microscopic copper particles through overlapping stenotic arteries is an important research area needed for scrutinizing and exploring dynamics through blood vessels. Adipose tissue deposition and other elements of atherosclerosis generate the uncommon artery disease known as arterial stenosis. It limits blood flow and raises the risk of heart disease. Using the Casson model, it is feasible to shed light on the peristaltic blood flow of copper nanoparticles over an overlapping stenotic artery. Nothing is known about the study of heat sink/source, buoyancy and Lorent force, and volume fraction because the focus is on the dynamics of blood carrying minute copper particles through an overlapping stenotic artery. When the Lorentz force is significant, the transport mentioned above was evaluated utilizing stenosis approximations to examine the stream function, wall shear stress, Nusselt number, and flow resistance distribution. In addition, temperature solutions were identified analytically, whereas a perturbation approach acquired velocity solutions. Temperature distribution and velocity are greater in stenosed arteries than in unstenosed arteries. Furthermore, extreme velocity and temperature rise as it reaches the core of the artery and falls as one approaches the wall. When the heat source parameter values increase due to an improvement in the fluid’s thermal state, the temperature distribution increases.

Authors: Trujillo Marcela Vargas , Lee Peter A. , Reifschneider Kent , Backeljauw Philippe F. , Dragnic Sanja , Van Komen Stephen , Yu Jun , Klein Karen O. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Objectives
It is important to understand what variables influence change in predicted adult height (PAH) throughout GnRHa treatment for central precocious puberty (CPP) to individualize treatment decisions and optimize care.

Methods
Changes in PAH, chronological age (CA), bone age (BA), BA/CA, and height velocity (HV) were evaluated in girls with CPP throughout treatment with leuprolide acetate (n=77). A second analysis focused on changes in the 3 years preceding the first observed BA of ≥12 years. Relationships were characterized using plot inspection and linear mixed-effects analyses. Association between treatment duration and last assessed PAH was examined using multiple linear regression models.

Results
BA/CA and HV showed a nonlinear change during treatment, with the largest changes and improvement in PAH observed in the first 6–18 months. Rate of BA advancement tended to decrease more slowly in girls initiating treatment at a younger BA. On-treatment change in PAH was predicted by concurrent BA/CA change, HV, and BA, as well as CA at treatment initiation. Last assessed PAH was positively associated with longer treatment durations (primary/exploratory models cut-offs of ≥33/≥55 months).

Conclusions
These findings support individualized monitoring during GnRHa treatment. Initial response should be interpreted with caution until 6–18 months after treatment initiation and failure should not be assumed based on continued bone maturation in girls starting therapy at a younger age. Treatment cessation should not be automatically based on a diminishing change in PAH or HV, as ongoing treatment may result in continued increase or maintenance of PAH.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
We focus on examining the impact of machine translation (MT) error rate on adequacy and fluency in machine-translated journalistic texts. German is the source language, with significant polysynthetic features in the formation of composites, and the target language is Slovak, with predominantly inflected features. We analyse twelve error categories, which are incorporated into the categorical framework for the analysis of MT errors and correspond to the four-member core MQM-DQF error typology. The results show that the most significant errors are in the categories of lexical semantics, syntactic-semantic correlativeness and grammar.

Potters’ Mobility Contributed to the Emergence of the Bell Beaker Phenomenon in Third Millennium BCE Alpine Switzerland: A Diachronic Technology Study of Domestic and Funerary Traditions
Authors: Derenne Eve , Ard Vincent , Besse Marie 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The spread of the Bell Beaker phenomenon across Europe is still strongly debated today. Small-scale technological studies investigating its integration in local contexts remain rare, even though these are crucial to observing disruptions in traditions. In this article, we studied the ceramic technology of Final Neolithic, Bell Beaker period, and Early Bronze Age settlements of the Upper Rhône valley in Switzerland (3300–1600 BCE). We reconstructed and compared their pottery traditions to those from the contemporaneous megalithic necropolis of Sion ‘Petit-Chasseur’, a major funerary and ritual site located in the centre of the valley. Our findings showed that the Bell Beaker period saw an abundance of simultaneous technical changes, mirroring disruptions identified by other fields, and confirmed that this cultural phenomenon did not blend seamlessly with the local context. More importantly, they revealed the role played by human mobility, with the arrival of potters shortly after 2500 BCE.
Konstantinos Oikonomos and Russian Philorthodox relief during the Greek war for independence (1821–1829)
Authors: Gerd Lora 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
After the Archipelago expeditions of the Russian Navy in 1769–1774 and 1805–1807, thousands of Greeks fled the Ottoman Empire and resettled in the province of Novorossiia (southern Russia). Among the migrants were prominent merchants who strongly supported the Philiki Etaireia (Friendly Society) and the cause for Greek independence. Although Tsar Alexander I could not openly support the insurrection that broke out in 1821, Russia provided invaluable material assistance to the Greek refugees, who arrived in Russian cities such as Odessa and Kishinev. Special committees under Russian officials distributed funds gathered from private donations and public sources all over Russia. The famous Greek cleric Konstantinos Oikonomos also arrived in Odessa with his family. His speech at the funeral of Patriarch Gregory V (whose relics were buried in Odessa) helped solidify the image of the patriarch as an ethno-martyr. Oikonomos served as a mediator and advisor to the Ober-procurator of the Russian Holy Synod, Alexander Golitsyn, who was responsible for gathering information about Greek clergymen among the refugees. Oikonomos also played an important role in distributing donations for the families of the Greeks displaced after the massacre on Chios in 1822. The documents from Russian archives presented in this essay demonstrate the network of Oikonomos and the pivotal role that he played between the Russian high officials and Greek intellectuals, the Greek merchants, and his poorer compatriots. This chapter features an annex with the unpublished correspondence of Oikonomos as evidence for one of the largest humanitarian actions of the nineteenth century.
Direct deoxygenative borylation
Authors: Li Jianbin 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Direct deoxygenative borylation is a highly enabling chemical transformation considering the attractive synthetic features of oxygenous feedstocks and organoboron compounds. Despite ranking among the synthetic ideality in different settings, such chemical space remained largely uncharted and underutilized until recent decades. This short review will summarize some key advances in the field of direct deoxy-borylation of alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids and organize these contributions based on substrate classes. In each representative, the general features, including reaction conditions, product scopes and mechanistic insights, will be highlighted and discussed.
Radial oscillations of an electron in a Coulomb attracting field
Authors: Karapetyan Grigori G. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The radial motion of an electron in a Coulomb attracting field based on a new theory of the interaction of a particle with an electromagnetic field is studied. It is shown that the electron can perform radial oscillations due to a repulsive force that exists in the vicinity of the center and prevents the electron from approaching the center. This concept of a previously unknown repulsive force significantly shifts the paradigm of the interaction of a charge with an electromagnetic field. A laboratory experiment is proposed to test the new phenomenon.
Estimation of the average particle flux in a stochastically homogeneous medium by Monte Carlo method
Authors: Lotova Galiya Z. , Mikhailov Gennady A. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The paper is focused on the study of the superexponential growth of the average number of particles in a stochastically homogeneous propagating medium. A mosaic Voronoi field (‘mosaic’) is considered as a random density model. The notion of ‘effective’ correlation radius is introduced to compare the results with previously obtained estimates of superexponential parameters for a spherically symmetric layered mosaic. It is shown that transition from the layered random density model to a chaotic one preserving the correlation scale and one-dimensional distribution weakens the ‘superexponential’ property of the particle flux.

Disentangling Object Category Representations Driven by Dynamic and Static Visual Input
Authors: Robert Sophia , Ungerleider Leslie G. , Vaziri-Pashkam Maryam 
Published: December 2022

Humans can label and categorize objects in a visual scene with high accuracy and speed, a capacity well characterized with studies using static images. However, motion is another cue that could be used by the visual system to classify objects. To determine how motion-defined object category information is processed by the brain in the absence of luminance-defined form information, we created a novel stimulus set of “object kinematograms” to isolate motion-defined signals from other sources of visual information. Object kinematograms were generated by extracting motion information from videos of 6 object categories and applying the motion to limited-lifetime random dot patterns. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) (n= 15, 40% women), we investigated whether category information from the object kinematograms could be decoded within the occipitotemporal and parietal cortex and evaluated whether the information overlapped with category responses to static images from the original videos. We decoded object category for both stimulus formats in all higher-order regions of interest (ROIs). More posterior occipitotemporal and ventral regions showed higher accuracy in the static condition, while more anterior occipitotemporal and dorsal regions showed higher accuracy in the dynamic condition. Further, decoding across the two stimulus formats was possible in all regions. These results demonstrate that motion cues can elicit widespread and robust category responses on par with those elicited by static luminance cues, even in ventral regions of visual cortex that have traditionally been associated with primarily image-defined form processing.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTMuch research on visual object recognition has focused on recognizing objects in static images. However, motion is a rich source of information that humans might also use to categorize objects. Here, we present the first study to compare neural representations of several animate and inanimate objects when category information is presented in two formats: static cues or isolated dynamic motion cues. Our study shows that, while higher-order brain regions differentially process object categories depending on format, they also contain robust, abstract category representations that generalize across format. These results expand our previous understanding of motion-derived animate and inanimate object category processing and provide useful tools for future research on object category processing driven by multiple sources of visual information.
Undermatching Is a Consequence of Policy Compression
Authors: Bari Bilal A. , Gershman Samuel J. 
Published: December 2022

The matching law describes the tendency of agents to match the ratio of choices allocated to the ratio of rewards received when choosing among multiple options (Herrnstein, 1961). Perfect matching, however, is infrequently observed. Instead, agents tend to undermatch or bias choices toward the poorer option. Overmatching, or the tendency to bias choices toward the richer option, is rarely observed. Despite the ubiquity of undermatching, it has received an inadequate normative justification. Here, we assume agents not only seek to maximize reward, but also seek to minimize cognitive cost, which we formalize as policy complexity (the mutual information between actions and states of the environment). Policy complexity measures the extent to which the policy of an agent is state dependent. Our theory states that capacity-constrained agents (i.e., agents that must compress their policies to reduce complexity) can only undermatch or perfectly match, but not overmatch, consistent with the empirical evidence. Moreover, using mouse behavioral data (male), we validate a novel prediction about which task conditions exaggerate undermatching. Finally, in patients with Parkinson's disease (male and female), we argue that a reduction in undermatching with higher dopamine levels is consistent with an increased policy complexity.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe matching law describes the tendency of agents to match the ratio of choices allocated to different options to the ratio of reward received. For example, if option a yields twice as much reward as option b, matching states that agents will choose option a twice as much. However, agents typically undermatch: they choose the poorer option more frequently than expected. Here, we assume that agents seek to simultaneously maximize reward and minimize the complexity of their action policies. We show that this theory explains when and why undermatching occurs. Neurally, we show that policy complexity, and by extension undermatching, is controlled by tonic dopamine, consistent with other evidence that dopamine plays an important role in cognitive resource allocation.
