English intonation in storytelling
Authors: Hudson Toby , Setter Jane , Mok Peggy 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This paper presents data for a tightly controlled recognition and production study of English language intonation
in reading by speakers of British English and second language learners of English in Hong Kong. We demonstrate a relatively high
correlation between the scores for the two studies when data are separated by utterance type (statement, echo, WH-question, etc.).
Our finding that this cohort of English learners performs better at production of nuclear tones than in the corresponding
recognition study when both are judged by a template for British English adds support to the claim that the perception-production
link, a theory that production is contingent on perception, is not borne out by the empirical study of learners of World
Englishes. Data collected for the British English speakers give insight into a changing intonational phonology, while Hong Kong
data indicate differences in intonational categories, a different distribution of tones, and possibly tonal innovation.

AbstractProlung Khmer(ព្រលឹងខ្មែរ, meaning “Khmer Soul” or “Khmer Spirit”), is a culturally salient ideological discourse found in modern Cambodian culture in the homeland and the diaspora.Prolung Khmerdraws on symbols and practices from Cambodia’s 2000-year cultural heritage, linking Khmer history, religion, language, the arts, and socio-political relationships in an essentialized ideology of Khmer culture. Using a genealogical analysis, this article traces the historical development ofProlung Khmerfrom earliest times to the present with examples from Cambodia and the diaspora. We argue that through its use,Prolung Khmerdelineates, historicizes, and naturalizes what it means to be Khmer in the homeland and the diaspora.
Language ideologies and legitimacy among nonbinary YouTubers
Authors: Crowley Archie 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This paper explores how ten nonbinary North American YouTubers appeal to legitimizing discourses
(van Leeuwen & Wodak 1999) as rationalizations for their choices regarding
identity labels and pronouns. Given the local cultural salience of the implications of their language choices, the YouTubers
rationalize their terminological choices through legitimizing discourses that prioritize historical facts, lexical
definitions, and personal feelings. I examine how these discourses presuppose particular
language ideologies, or implicit assumptions about what language users view as “appropriate” language practices. In the
case of the nonbinary YouTubers, I illustrate that the vloggers’ legitimizing discourses appeal to and juxtapose a referentialist
ideology (Hill 2008, Silverstein 1979),
according to which words should describe the world truthfully, and an ideology of self-identification (Zimman 2019), which prioritizes individual agency. Crucially, deploying these legitimizing discourses is
an important strategy that nonbinary YouTubers draw on as part of their advocacy and education projects.

A Leisure Professional Association Creating an Action Plan for Change: Part 2
Authors: Weddell Melissa , Joy James Jana 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
In 2016 North Carolina Recreation and Parks Association (NCRPA), a leisure and recreation professional association, implemented an organizational change with the hopes of becoming more relevant and vital to recreation professionals. James and Weddell documented the initial process leading to organizational change. The NCRPA Board president tasked an Ad Hoc committee to read the book, “Race for Relevance” (2011) and make recommendations to revitalize the organization. For more details on the beginning process, see James and Weddell’s case study “A Leisure Professional Association’s Structural Change, to Remain Relevant to its Members as well as in its Support of the Profession – Part 1”. Organizational change includes more than making recommendations to a board and having a unanimous board vote to implement the recommendations. Once the vote passed, the real work began. This case study continues the investigation by describing the implementation process of the recommendations leading to NCRPA organizational revitalization for 2017. The main players of innovation included the NCRPA Executive Director, its Board President, and the Executive Board as well as several committees appointed by the President. NCRPA continued to use the book “Race for Relevance” (2011) as a primer to change, requiring each committee member to read the book to understand the impact of the changes and future decisions.

Improving the Health of Cape Breton Island: Experiential and Community-engaged Learning
Authors: Callary Bettina , Maher Patrick 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This case study documents experiential learning opportunities for students and faculty from Sport and Human Kinetics (SPHK) courses at Cape Breton University (CBU). We explore ways in which learning opportunities created an impact on student learning and leadership. Students created sessions for a university-led, community engagement program called ‘Youth in Motion’ (YiM). The program involves grade four students from every school on Cape Breton Island engaging in a half-day of physical activities. The university students were responsible for conducting thirty-minute sessions with each school group five times over the course of the half-day. First year course programming was more faculty structured, while third year programming was more student directed. Four students from each class, a fourth-year undergraduate teaching assistant, and the two professors involved in YiM were interviewed after the completion of the courses. Interviews were on average 15-30 minutes long and asked a series of questions that delved into the learning experiences of students and faculty involved in this initiative. Students were impacted by their YiM experiences in ways that influenced their understanding and leadership of developing fundamental movement skills and outdoor programming. Further, they learned unexpected lessons about communication, patience, and they noted that learning is fun! The professors noted that they could push the students’ learning further than they would in traditional pedagogies and that it was fun for them to be involved in too. There were also several stakeholder benefits. This case study has value for academic and non-academic audiences. Firstly, it provides examples of ways in which students benefit from community-engaged and experiential learning situations. It provides a model for how these experiences can be jointly organized by professors, community organizations, and the university. Further, for non-academic audiences interested in healthy leisure opportunities for children, this chapter illustrates how programs organized by trained and educated young adults may promote fun and motivating, physically active, and outdoor-friendly activities.

The addition of hydrogen peroxide and the incorporation of fluorides by surface plasma jointly promote the bactericidal effects of plasma-treated water
Authors: Xi Wang , Wang Weitao , Guo Li , Huang Lingling , Song Liqiang , Lv Xing , Liu Dingxin , Liu Zhijie , Rong Mingzhe 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The antibacterial ability of plasma-treated water (PTW) is affected by many factors, such as the type of equipment and operating conditions. These factors hinder the application of plasma technology, making it necessary to develop new methods that could prepare PTW with high efficiency for disinfection. In this study, a surface discharge plasma with a dielectric layer of polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) was used to treat 110 mM H2O2 solution to prepare plasma-treated H2O2 solution (PTH). The bactericidal ability of PTW was evaluated by the inactivation of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The results show that the PTH treated by surface plasma for 3 min inactivated more than 6.3 orders of magnitude MRSA. Importantly, bubbles were produced when the MRSA suspension was incubated with the untreated H2O2 solution, while no bubbles were observed when the suspension was incubated with the PTH. Further experiments show the amounts of bubbles produced in this process were negatively correlated with the bactericidal effects. The concentrations of several reactive species in PTH were measured for antibacterial mechanism analysis and provided a clue that the synergism among hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrite, as well as unstable reactive fluorides, derived from the gaseous fluorides from the etching of the PTFE dielectric, might play a key role in the bactericidal process. This work provides a new strategy to produce potent disinfectants with low irritation for the disinfection of the environment, object surfaces, and body surfaces.
The generalized method to calculate the real-space winding number for one-dimensional systems with complex multi-band-gap structure
Authors: Zhang Yu , Xiong Langlang , Jiang Xunya 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The topological study of the complicated one-dimensional (1D) systems with multi-band-gap structures, including quasi-crystals (QCs), is very hard since the lack of effective topological invariants to describe the non-triviality of gaps. A generalized method, based on the contracted wave-function, is proposed in this work to calculate the real-space winding number for the complicated 1D systems with multi-band-gap structures. First, the effectiveness of the generalized method is demonstrated to obtain the quantized real-space winding number for the gaps and correctly predict the topological phase transition and the existing fractional charge on the edges for the periodic 4-atoms SSH model (4A-SSH model). Then, we apply the generalized method to more complicated 1D Thue–Morse (TM) systems, which is one kind of QCs. The quantized real-space winding number is obtained for two traditional gaps and two fractal gaps for the TM systems and can also correctly predict the existence of topological edge-states and fractional charge on the ends. Several new phenomena are observed, e.g. the topological phase transition and the edge-states for the gaps in multi-band-gap structures, the

fractional charge for the 4A-SSH model, the fluctuation of local charge and the asymmetric (but still with a quantized difference) fractional charge at the ends of TM system. The generalized method could be a powerful tool to study the topology of gaps in the complicated periodic systems or QCs.
Application of multi-kernel relevance vector machine and data pre-processing by complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition and mutual dimensionless in fault diagnosis
Authors: Xiong Jianbin , Chen Kang , Cen Jian , Wang Qi , Liu Xi 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Resistance signals of a faulty building electrical system contain a large amount of information about the electrical systems operating status. However, it is difficult to extract the fault features completely because of their characteristics of nonlinearity and non-stationarity which brings a problem of a relatively low fault identification rate of the current fault diagnosis methods based on pattern recognition. Aiming at improving the accuracy of fault diagnosis further, this paper proposes a fault diagnosis method of a building electrical system based on the complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition and mutual dimensionless index extraction (CEEMD-MDI) combined with the multi-kernel relevance vector machine (MK-RVM). First, the resistance signals of a faulty building electrical system are decomposed into a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by using an adaptive decomposition ability of the CEEMD. Second, the IMFs are used to extract the MDI and to form a feature vector with the resistance signal. Finally, the processed feature vector is input into the MK-RVM for modeling, and the fault diagnosis result of the building electrical system is provided in the form of a probability output. The experimental results show that the fault diagnosis accuracy rate of the proposed method based on CEEMD-MDI and MK-RVM can reach 97.22%, which has better fault diagnosis performance compared with other methods.
Plasmonic heating of protected silver nanowires for anti-frosting superhydrophobic coating
Authors: Psarski Maciej , Lech Agnieszka , Celichowski Grzegorz 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Atmospheric frosting and icing pose significant problems for critical and common-use infrastructures. Passive anti-frosting and anti-icing strategies that require no energy input have been actively sought, with no viable and permanent solutions known yet. Bioinspired superhydrophobic (SH) materials have been considered promising path to explore; however, the outcome has been less than compelling because of their low resistance to atmospheric humidity. In most cases, condensing water on an SH surface eventually leads to mechanical locking of ice instead of ice removal. Hybrid strategies involving some form of limited energy input are being increasingly considered, each with its own challenges. Here, we propose the application of plasmonic heating of silver nanowires (AgNWs) for remote frost removal, utilizing an SH hybrid passive-active system. This novel system comprises a durable nanocomposite covered with a hydrophobized mesh of AgNWs, protected against environmental degradation by a tin oxide (SnO2) shell. We demonstrate the frost removal ability at −10 °C and 30% RH, achieved by a combination of plasmonic heating of AgNWs with a non-sticking behavior of submicrometric droplets of molten frost on the SH surface. Heating was realized by illuminating the mesh with low-power blue laser light. Adjustment of the nanowire (NW) and shell dimensions allows the generation of surface plasmon resonance in illuminated NWs at a wavelength overlapping the emission maximum of the light used. In environmental stability tests, the nanostructures exhibited high atmospheric, mechanical, and thermal stability. The narrow-wavelength absorption of the structure in the blue light range and the reflective properties in the infrared range were designed to prevent protected surfaces from overheating in direct sunlight.
