Authors: Zhang Fan , Zhou Shijie , Martsinovich Natalia 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) are of great potential for science development to solve the problem of energy crisis. The sensitizers (dyes) for DSSCs are explored and discussed in this project. Computational chemistry investigations based on Gaussian 09 are carried out to determine the computational data of dye molecules and to deduce their properties. Light absorptions, molecular orbitals, and energy levels of dyes are specifically explored and discussed. Molecular structures are modified diversely to achieve better features. The new dye molecule with better properties is successfully designed.
Application of multiple regression modeling and BP neural network in the analysis of prepared C4 olefins
Authors: Huang Kaiyao 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Ethanol serves as a crucial raw material for synthesizing C4 olefins, making the investigation of catalytic synthesis process conditions highly valuable. This study conducted a correlation analysis on experimental data from the catalytic coupling of ethanol into C4 olefins under varying temperatures and catalyst conditions, determining the Pearson correlation coefficient between ethanol conversion, C4 olefin selectivity, and temperature. The analysis revealed a significant relationship between C4 olefin selectivity and temperature. Following this, gray correlation analysis was employed to pinpoint the experimental conditions with the highest correlation coefficients. Using six independent variables, including catalyst combinations and temperature, alongside dependent variables such as ethanol conversion rate and C4 olefin selectivity, a multiple regression model was established. Results indicated that temperature significantly influences the dependent variables, with Co/SiO2 dosage and Co loading being the most pivotal factors affecting ethanol conversion. Specifically, while Co/SiO2 and Co loading have minimal impact on ethanol conversion, HAP dosage and temperature are positively correlated. Ethanol dosage is negatively correlated. Additionally, C4 olefin selectivity is less influenced by the amounts of Co/SiO2 and ethanol. Finally, a neural network model was developed linking five influencing factors to C4 olefin yield. Bayesian regularization was used to train the model, optimizing the experimental conditions for maximizing C4 olefin yield.

Abstract
Several puncture leaks and perforation failures occurred in the water injection pipeline outside a joint station in a western oilfield, seriously affecting the pipeline’s integrity. By analyzing the clogging in the pipeline, it was found that the corrosion caused by salt and scale inside the pipeline was the main reason for the perforation failure of the water injection pipeline outside the station. Given the serious corrosion and scaling of the water injection pipeline outside the station, the multi-functional agent of corrosion inhibitor, scale inhibitor, and salt suppressant was developed. It was determined that the agent had the best effect when the ratio of the single-agent additive corrosion inhibitor, scale inhibitor, and salt suppressant was 2:3:5. The sum of the three is 87% of the formula. At 40°C, when the addition amount was 150 mg/L, the corrosion rate of P110 steel was only 0.0307 mm/a, the scale inhibition rate for CaCO3 can reach 83.5%, and the salt inhibition rate can get 4.5%. Field corrosion monitoring test piece evaluation test results show that the uniform corrosion rate of the coupons monitored by the three monitoring points is greatly reduced after the corrosion and scale and salt inhibitor are added, and the higher the injection concentration is, the lower the uniform corrosion rate is. When the concentration is high, there are almost no salt crystals on the surface of the monitoring coupon, and a small amount of salt crystals are precipitated after the concentration is reduced.

Authors: Huang Sihao , Pang Lilong , Wang Zhiguang 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Power equipment of new energy and novel power systems, exposed to harsh corrosive environments such as high temperatures, saline, high flow rates, and oxidation, pose a significant risk to their safe, efficient, and normal operation. In this study, an Al2O3/Fe-Al coating was prepared on the surface of stainless steel, and its high-performance anti-corrosion effect was verified by extreme corrosion tests. Additionally, the study analyzed the micro-structural changes and elemental migration of the coating in the corrosion process. The coating’s excellent resistance to extremely high temperatures and oxidative environments indicates its potential for application to the outdoor power equipment of various new energy and novel power systems.
Facile synthesis of 1D perovskite microwire arrays with ultrafast photoresponse

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Perovskite materials are ideal candidates for the activity layers in electrooptic components due to their effective light absorption and high carrier mobility. However, perovskites produced through traditional solution methods often suffer from poor crystallinity and high defect density and are susceptible to damage under high temperature and light exposure, which limits device performance. In this work, high-quality 1D single-crystal CsPbBr3 microwire (MW) arrays are successfully synthesized on muscovite substrates using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) by optimizing growth parameters such as growth time, temperature, and substrate position. The photodetector based on the as-grown MWs exhibits outstanding photoelectric performance, achieving a light-to-dark current ratio of up to 5.53 × 102 at a working voltage of 5 V and a photoresponsivity of up to 9.4 × 10−4 A W−1 at a small illumination power intensity of 1 mW cm−2. Additionally, this photodetector demonstrates an ultrarapid photoresponse time with a fall time of 140 μs and a rise time of 92 μs under a 365 nm laser. This research presents a facile and controllable strategy for synthesizing high-quality 1D perovskites with ultrafast photoresponse, which access the mean for developing high-performing 1D perovskite photodetectors.
Study on the influence of silane coupling Agent-Modified BN on the thermodynamic properties of polytetrafluoroethylene
Authors: Lv Fangcheng , Zhang Wenqi 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
To study the effect of different silane coupling agents modified boron nitride (BN) fillers on the thermodynamic properties of PTFE, this work selects KH550, KH560, and KH580 silane coupling agents to modify BN, and constructs a PTFE composite model in Materials Studio. The thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, and cohesive energy density of the composite models are analyzed using molecular dynamics methods. The results indicate that coupling agent modification can further improve the thermodynamic stability of the composite. Among them, KH550 has the optimal modification effect, with a thermal conductivity of 0.192 W/(m·K), an increase of 66.9% compared to the pristine. The underlying mechanism for the improvement of thermodynamic properties is elucidated from the perspectives of molecular thermal motion and intermolecular interaction forces through the calculation of cohesive energy density as well as the fractional free volume. This study provides theoretical guidance for the screening of coupling agent modification and the design of high-performance polymer composite based on molecular simulation.
Control of electro-optic sideband spectrum using sequential modulators
Authors: Dammalapati Umakanth , Elvin Rachel , Griffin Paul , Riis Erling 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Electro-optic modulators are widely used for the generation of optical sidebands for various applications. Here, we report on a technique enabling control of the relative amplitudes of optical sidebands generated by electro-optic modulators. The technique makes use of a phase modulator and Mach-Zehnder amplitude modulator, connected in series to break the symmetry of the sideband amplitudes. The generated optical sideband spectrum can be controlled by the two radio frequency (RF) modulation amplitudes, the attenuation level of the amplitude modulator, and the relative RF phase of the two modulations. We demonstrate near-complete suppression of one first-order sideband and with simultaneously achieving equal amplitudes of the carrier and the other first-order sideband with >94% purity. The technique can be utilised to produce a spectrum with effectively two frequency components. This enables application in atomic physics experiments such as the minimisation of off-resonant light shifts that can limit the performance of atomic clocks and interferometers. We demonstrate operation in the near-infrared, at 795 nm, using commercial-off-the-shelf components and circumventing the need for frequency doubling of lasers in the optical communications region.
Epidemic risk perception and social interactions lead to awareness cascades on multiplex networks
Authors: Van Wesemael Tim , Rocha Luis E C , Baetens Jan M 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The course of an epidemic is not only shaped by infection transmission over face-to-face contacts, but also by preventive behaviour caused by risk perception and social interactions. This study explores the dynamics of coupled awareness and biological infection spread within a two-layer multiplex network framework. One layer embodies face-to-face contacts, with a biological infection transmission following a simple contagion model, the SIR process. Awareness, modelled by the linear threshold model, a complex contagion, spreads over a social layer and induces behaviour that lowers the chance of a biological infection occurring. It may be provoked by the presence of either aware or infectious neighbours. We introduce a novel model combining these influences through a convex combination, creating a continuum between pure social contagion and local risk perception. Simulation of the model shows distinct effects arising from the awareness sources. Also, for convex combinations where both input sources are of importance, awareness cascades that are not attributable to only one of these sources, emerge. Here, the combination of a small-world face-to-face and a scale-free social layer, but not vice versa, cause the number of infections to decrease with increasing transmission probability.
The Story of Job
Authors: Stump Eleonore 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Job is an exemplar of an innocent person who suffers involuntarily. This chapter focuses on the biblical story of Job and gives a detailed philosophical examination of many parts of the story. Its aim is to illuminate the picture the story gives us of God’s reasons for allowing Job’s suffering when we are attuned to the second-personal character of the narrative in all its complexity. The nested stories the book contains of relations between creatures and God present God’s providence operating in a fractal way, to deal with each of God’s creatures as an end in himself, even while interweaving all the individual stories into one larger narrative.
Why language policy?
Authors: Coulmas Florian 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
A brief introduction to the theme of language policy with some historical references to show that language has been a political issue in East and West since ancient times and has not lost any of its importance to this day. By way of an introduction to the theme of language policy this chapter addresses the question why there is such a thing as language policy in the most general sense. Some historical references to Biblical sources and Chinese philosophy show that language has been a political issue in East and West since ancient times and has not lost any of its importance to this day. The chapter concludes by introducing the Policy Cycle Model that is widely used in policy studies. It consists of a cycle of the four stages of agenda setting, policy formulation, policy implementation and evaluation which, the chapter argues, can be applied to language policy.
The new multitude—migration, language, and citizenship
Authors: Coulmas Florian 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In recent decades, two things have profoundly changed communication patterns and social environments: mass migration and digitization. This chapter tackles the consequences and challenges of these developments for established language policies arising from increasing diversity and new media. It discusses the ideological relationship between language and citizenship and explains the political motivation of language testing for the acquisition of citizenship through naturalization. For our understanding of present-day society, it discusses the question how the ‘public sphere’ is affected by these trends. Just a generation ago, the public sphere, accessible to all citizens using the same national language, was widely seen as a crucial prerequisite of deliberative democracy and social control of government actions. The chapter looks at how new communication technologies and demographic shifts across national borders are driving societal change, including the multilingualization of Western societies, to which language policies must respond.
Sexism in the City
Authors: Taylor James 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Sexism in the City is the first book to trace the history of women stockbrokers in the United Kingdom from the late nineteenth to the late twentieth centuries. Forgotten pioneers, these businesswomen fought against the odds to establish successful brokerages across the country and, in the process, challenged society’s beliefs about women and money. The book also tells the story of how the nation’s stock exchanges denied them membership for generations, mobilizing increasingly desperate arguments to try to justify their exclusion, until women finally won the right to join the London Stock Exchange in 1973. By spotlighting the lives and careers of women who worked as stockbrokers outside male-monopolized institutions, this book reframes the historical development of finance in several ways. It highlights the extent to which the seemingly gender-neutral institutions and practices of finance were, in fact, based on gendered ideologies and exclusions. It also argues that focusing on institutions only reveals part of the financial ecosystem, meaning that we miss what was happening outside the formal market. And it challenges London-centric interpretations of financial history, asking questions about the financial cultures existing outside the metropolis. If we look beyond the official exchanges—and beyond London—a more diverse financial environment comes into view.
Introduction
Authors: Vidas Moulie 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
While traditional historiography and modern scholarship have long recognized the development, beginning in the third century ce, of rabbinic commentary on rabbinic teachings, the features of this commentary and its transformative effect have been underappreciated. This development led to a re-imagining of the rabbinic tradition in broad terms, as well as to the introduction of new interpretive practices and reading strategies into the study of Torah. In addition to introducing the book’s arguments and methods, this chapter explores the conditions that led to this development. The Amoraic turn reflects the standardization of the rabbinic curriculum in the third century ce, of which the clearest expression was the promulgation of the Mishnah; but that process did not determine the shape or type of commentary: to understand these, we must turn to the commentary itself.
Needy, Lost, and Kind of Divine
Authors: Vidas Moulie 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter probes the connection between interpretive practice and notions of text. The sages applied to rabbinic teachings some of the reading strategies that are the hallmark of their study of Scripture: intertextual illumination, the demonstration that apparently redundant texts are in fact necessary, and claims that the text addresses a different context than it at first seems. While in the study of Scripture, these reading strategies were connected with the notion that Scripture was a perfect or deliberately designed text, when they were applied to rabbinic teachings they acquired different forms and significance and were associated with the notion that these teachings were fragmentary and misplaced. Intertextual reading and claims about the necessity of apparent redundancies emphasized that teachings only partially represented the law; recontextualizing commentary drew on the notion that the composition and transmission of teachings could result in misleading contextualization.
Manipulation
Authors: Noggle Robert 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This book seeks to answer three main questions about manipulation: What is it? How does it work? Why does it seem bad? It begins by examining thirteen paradigm examples of ordinary manipulation, including playing on the emotions, emotional blackmail, gaslighting, nagging, charm offensives, misdirection, and flattery. Next, it surveys existing accounts of manipulation, and finds that none of them properly identifies manipulation in all thirteen paradigm examples. However, two accounts, when combined, do properly identify manipulation in all thirteen examples. One of these sees manipulation as a form of trickery; the other sees it as a form of pressure. An analysis of manipulative pressure shows that it works by getting the target to mistakenly choose the lesser good over the greater. This finding paves the way for the Mistake Account: Manipulation is an influence that operates by getting the target to make a mistake in the target’s psychological states or processes. The book assembles a strong cumulative case in favor of the Mistake Account. It then details various sorts of mistakes involved in manipulation, and the psychological processes by which manipulators get people to make them. Turning to the moral status of manipulation, the book argues that, as with deception, all instances of manipulation are bad because they involve inducing mistakes; however, the most morally egregious instances of manipulation also have bad effects on well-being and autonomy. The book’s concluding chapters apply the Mistake Account to various influences, including priming, conditioning, nudges, advertising, sales, and online influences.
Perspective, Intent, and Manipulation
Authors: Noggle Robert 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The first half of this chapter asks: For the purposes of defining manipulation, from what perspective should we judge whether something is a mistake? Is Iago’s behavior manipulative because Iago believes that it is a mistake for Othello to be jealous and angry at Desdemona, or because it really is a mistake for Othello to be jealous and angry at Desdemona? The Mistake Account regards manipulation as being similar to deception. This similarity suggests that (a) acting manipulatively involves trying to get someone to make what the manipulator thinks is a mistake, but (b) someone has been successfully manipulated only when what the manipulator regards as a mistake really is a mistake. The second half of the chapter addresses the question of how best to characterize the intention that a person must have if we are to describe that person as acting manipulatively.
Exotic Influences and Problem Cases
Authors: Noggle Robert 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter applies the Mistake Account to influences other than the thirteen paradigm examples from Chapter 2. Its focus is on exotic forms of influence, and influences that pose special challenges for the Mistake Account. The first category includes influences like priming and conditioning. The second includes influences that produce systemic changes to the target’s moods, levels of fatigue, etc. By examining these influences, the chapter develops a process for determining whether novel forms of influence count as manipulation. This involves determining whether they operate by inducing a mistaken mental state, or by inducing akratic choice. The chapter also argues for a distinction between manipulation and meddling.
Unveiling the role of FOXL2 in female differentiation and disease: a comprehensive review
Authors: He Jia , Wang Zican , Yang Lici , Jiang Yongjian , Yan Ge , Pan Yongwei , Gao Fei , Yuan Jinxiang , Gao Yang 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Ovarian differentiation relies on the accurate and orderly expression of numerous related genes. Forkhead box protein L2 (FOXL2) is one of the earliest ovarian differentiation markers and transcription factors. In sex determination, FOXL2 maintains the differentiation of the female pathway by inhibiting male differentiation genes, including SOX9 and SF1. In addition, FOXL2 promotes the synthesis of follicle-stimulating hormone and anti-Müllerian hormone to support follicle development. Mutations in FOXL2 are associated with numerous female reproductive diseases. A comprehensive and in-depth study of FOXL2 provides novel strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases. This review discusses the mechanism of FOXL2 in female sex differentiation and maintenance, hormone synthesis, and disease occurrence and reveals the role of FOXL2 as a central factor in female sex development and fertility maintenance. This review will serve as a reference for identifying novel targets of other regulatory factors interacting with FOXL2 in female sex determination and follicle development and for the diagnosis and treatment of female reproductive diseases.

Abstract
Cognitive decline in survivors of medulloblastoma is commonly attributed to radiation- and chemotherapy-induced brain microstructural alterations. Factors preceding this adjuvant therapy, such as disrupted brain development or resection surgery, may affect brain microstructure but have not been as thoroughly explored in medulloblastoma. The aim of this study was to assess cortical thickness and microstructural integrity of the cerebrum prior to adjuvant therapy in medulloblastoma patients.
Cross-sectional image data were acquired of medulloblastoma patients (n=30) after surgery but before adjuvant therapy and compared to data from healthy controls (n=35) matched for age range (12 to 22 years). Biomarkers of microstructural integrity include fractional anisotropy, mean diffusivity, axial diffusivity, and radial diffusivity. Thickness, surface area, and volume were estimated for parcels of neocortex to evaluate potential morphology differences.
Participants with medulloblastoma showed increased diffusivity parameters (mean, axial, and radial diffusivity), and decreased fractional anisotropy, within nearly all white and gray matter parcels of the cerebrum, compared to healthy controls. Medulloblastoma participants additionally showed decreased cortical thickness in subregions of frontal, parietal, temporal, and paracentral cortex.
Broad cerebral microstructural alterations in medulloblastoma patients following surgery but before initiation of radiation or chemotherapy suggest that cerebellar insult, by tumor development or tumor resection, likely contributes to compromised integrity of cerebral gray and white matter. Locations of cortical thinning suggest that cerebellar insult may impair normal growth in cerebral regions responsible for executive function, language, and attention—cognitive domains typically affected in medulloblastoma survivors.
