description: The nonlinear dynamics of two co-propagating electrostatic wavepackets, characterized by different wavenumbers and amplitudes, in a 1D non-magnetized plasma fluid model is considered, from first principles. The original plasma model, consisting of κ-distributed electrons evolving against a cold ion background, is reduced, by means of a multiple-scale perturbation method to a pair of asymmetric coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equations for the dynamics of the wavepacket envelopes.
 Exact analytical expressions are derived for the dispersion, self-modulation, and cross-modulation coefficients involved in the CNLS equations, as functions of the wavenumbers and the spectral index κcharacterizing the electron profile. An analytical investigation of the modulational instability (MI) properties of this pair of wavepackets reveals that MI occurs in most parts of the parameter space.
 The instability windows and the corresponding growth rate are calculated in a number of case studies. Two-wave interaction favors MI by extending its range of occurrence and by enhancing its growth rate. Growth rate patterns obtained for different κsuggest that deviation from Maxwellian equilibrium, for low κvalues, leads to enhanced MI of the interacting wave pair.
 To the best of our knowledge, the dynamics of two co-propagating wavepackets in a plasma described by a fluid model with κ-distributed electrons is investigated thoroughly with respect to their MI properties as a function of κfor the first time, in the framework of an asymmetric CNLS system. Although we have focused on electrostatic wavepacket propagation in non-Maxwellian plasma, the results are generic and may be used as basis to model energy localization in nonlinear optics, in hydrodynamics or in dispersive media with Kerr-type nonlinearities where MI is relevant.

description: It is recently shown that biological macromolecules in food could interact with nanoparticles (NPs) and consequently change the biological effects of NPs. In this study, the interactions between ZnO NPs with or without hydrophobic surface coating and bovine serum albumin (BSA) or oleate (OA) complexed to BSA (OA-BSA) were assessed. Atomic force microscope (AFM) showed topographic changes of both types of NPs by BSA or OA-BSA, which could indicate the formation of protein corona. ZnO NPs showed negative Zeta potential, which was slightly decreased by BSA or OA-BSA, with OA-BSA being more effective. The UV–Vis was increased, whereas the fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence was decreased by the presence of ZnO NPs. Exposure to both types of ZnO NPs was associated with cytotoxicity to THP-1 macrophages, which was equally mitigated by BSA or OA-BSA associated with decreased cellular Zn elements. Exposure to ZnO NPs was associated with decreased release of cytokines, which was not affected by BSA or OA-BSA. In combination, the results from this study suggested that both BSA and OA-BSA could be adsorbed to ZnO NPs regardless of hydrophobic surface coating, which reduced the cytotoxicity of NPs to macrophages probably due to reduced association between NPs and cells. BSA and OA-BSA equally protected THP-1 macrophages from ZnO NP exposure, which might indicate that complexation to OA did not compromise the cytoprotective effects of BSA. These data might also indicate the complex interaction between NPs and biological macromolecules as food components, which should be considered for future nanotoxicological studies.

description: Changing commuting patterns in rural metro-adjacent regions: the case of Castilla-La Mancha in the context of Madrid, Spain. Regional Studies. This paper describes changing commuting patterns within rural regions gradually integrated into metropolitan dynamics and recently reconfigured by state rescaling processes. It focuses on Castilla-La Mancha (Spain), a rural region under Madrilenian influence, between 1981 and 2011. The empirical results show that these regions are (1) becoming hybrid territories, changing from predominantly rural territories into areas that exhibit mixed rural–metropolitan behaviours; (2) increasingly influenced by metropolitan overflows, which are predominantly integrating non-centrality municipalities; (3) transforming their urban spatial structures from leaderless models to incipient polycentric ones; and (4) experiencing a commuting reconfiguration towards multidirectional patterns.

description: This qualitative study examined the perceptions and communication frequency patterns of Filipino Generation Z speakers regarding the slang phrase "forda ferson." Drawing insights from twenty key informants in Gingoog City, the research explored the frequency, contextual usage, associated meanings, and communicative contributions of the slang. Utilizing content analysis, the study revealed that "forda ferson" facilitated informal and playful communication, fostering camaraderie among speakers. While it effectively described actions and behaviors within social groups, its usage also posed comprehensibility challenges for those outside the immediate social and generational context. The findings underscored the dynamic nature of language evolution, indicating that the popularity of slang terms like "forda ferson" might decline over time. This research highlighted the interplay between language and social interaction, showcasing how slang emerged to fulfill specific communicative needs while reflecting broader societal shifts.

description: Spatial proximity and firm performance: evidence from non-farm rural enterprises in Ethiopia and Nigeria. Regional Studies. The productivity of non-farm enterprises in rural Africa can be associated with the productivity of other spatially proximate non-farm enterprises. To test for the presence and significance of such spatial autocorrelation, the article uses data from the georeferenced 2011 Ethiopian Rural Socioeconomic Survey (ERSS) and the 2010/2011 Nigeria General Household Survey (NGHS), and employs exploratory spatial data analyses. There is evidence of significant spatial clustering of firm performance in both countries. This spatial dependence is empirically modelled using average distance measures between firms. It is found that in addition to other household, firm and community characteristics, spatial proximity between firms plays an important role in explaining firm productivity in Nigeria and Ethiopia.

description: Accurate velocity estimation of surrounding moving objects and their trajectories are critical elements of perception systems in Automated/Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) with a direct impact on their safety. These are non-trivial problems due to the diverse types and sizes of such objects and their dynamic and random behaviour. Recent point cloud based solutions often use Iterative Closest Point (ICP) techniques, which are known to have certain limitations. For example, their computational costs are high due to their iterative nature, and their estimation error often deteriorates as the relative velocities of the target objects increase (>2 m/sec). Motivated by such shortcomings, this paper first proposes a novel Detection and Tracking of Moving Objects (DATMO) for AVs based on an optical flow technique, which is proven to be computationally efficient and highly accurate for such problems. \textcolor{black}{This is achieved by representing the driving scenario as a vector field and applying vector calculus theories to ensure spatiotemporal continuity.} We also report the results of a comprehensive performance evaluation of the proposed DATMO technique, carried out in this study using synthetic and real-world data. The results of this study demonstrate the superiority of the proposed technique, compared to the DATMO techniques in the literature, in terms of estimation accuracy and processing time in a wide range of relative velocities of moving objects. Finally, we evaluate and discuss the sensitivity of the estimation error of the proposed DATMO technique to various system and environmental parameters, as well as the relative velocities of the moving objects.

description: The aim of this study is to explore the role of business education in preparing individuals with the necessary skills, knowledge, attitudes, and values essential for success in a dynamically changing business environment. Emphasizing the adaptability of business education to evolving technology and business practices, the research focuses specifically on the instructional proficiency of business teachers in selected Philippine higher education institutions (HEIs) and the challenges they encounter. The overarching goal is to propose effective intervention measures that can enhance instructional proficiency and address the identified challenges within the context of business education in these institutions. The study used a descriptive comparative to determine the differences between the three groups of respondents: the school managers, business teachers and students. Correlation is also utilized to examines relationships between different variables. In the context of the study, it may explore whether there is a correlation between teacher profiles and instructional proficiency. The respondents of the study comprised 8 (93%), school managers, 94 (10.98%) business teachers, and 754 (88.08%) business students, from selected HEIs and from the business administration program. The researchers opted for the use of ANOVA and Chi-square. Research findings indicate that business teachers have diverse industry and academic backgrounds, with high proficiency in various instructional areas.

description: J. N. Adams (1943-2021) examined the expressions speakers and writers used to communicate about bodily functions during the first thousand years for which we have recorded Latin (roughly 500 BCE to 500 CE). Here you will find first the Table of Contents from Adams’s book with live links to sections below. Next, about 70 pages of a sort of map for navigating Adam’s findings. I intend this guide to be useful for scholars of texts written not only in Latin but in its many off-shoots as well. Italian Renaissance authors in particular expanded on Latin sexual terminology to produce an elaborate erotic lexicon, which French scholar Jean Toscan decoded in his four volume dissertation Le carnaval du langage: le lexique érotique des poètes de l’équivoque de Burchiello à Marino, Lille: Presses Universitaires, (1978) 1981, and see my Jean Toscan, Table of Contents in English on academia.edu. The remaining 70 or so pages are alphabetical indexes to the words and subjects presented, together with a bit of bibliographical information.

description: Crafting effective captions for figures is important. Readers heavily depend on these captions to grasp the figure's message. However, despite a well-developed set of AI technologies for figures and captions, these have rarely been tested for usefulness in aiding caption writing. This paper introduces SciCapenter, an interactive system that puts together cutting-edge AI technologies for scientific figure captions to aid caption composition. SciCapenter generates a variety of captions for each figure in a scholarly article, providing scores and a comprehensive checklist to assess caption quality across multiple critical aspects, such as helpfulness, OCR mention, key takeaways, and visual properties reference. Users can directly edit captions in SciCapenter, resubmit for revised evaluations, and iteratively refine them. A user study with Ph.D. students indicates that SciCapenter significantly lowers the cognitive load of caption writing. Participants' feedback further offers valuable design insights for future systems aiming to enhance caption writing.

description: Low-Cost Sensors (LCS) of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) have been widely used to supplement regular air quality monitoring stations. However, the sensor output is impacted by environmental factors, especially relative humidity, and must be calibrated to yield estimates of concentrations. In this study, we evaluate the performance of a linear model and a generalized additive model (GAM) to calibrate the output of LCS PM2.5 measurements in terms of different relative humidity levels. The method is based on co-located measurements from an LCS and a conventional reference monitor at two sites in an urban area in northern China. A stepwise variable selection of air pollutant concentrations and meteorological observations is used to select inputs to the model in order to improve the calibration ability. The results show that when relative humidity is below 75%, linear calibration of LCS PM2.5 observations can output PM2.5 mass concentrations close to the reference method with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.86. When relative humidity is above 75%, the GAM calibration model significantly outperforms the linear model, with an R2 of approximately 0.83. Overall, the linear model exhibits good fitness in dry conditions, while the GAM captures PM2.5 variations best in humid conditions. We conclude that low-cost PM2.5 sensors are sensitive to relative humidity and that therefore condition-specific calibration methods need to be used to improve the quality of the data as well as to improve the match with reference measurements.

description: This study investigated the awareness and perceptions of tertiary students regarding the term "nigga" and its relevance to their daily interactions. The research explored how these students acquired the term and their attitudes toward its usage, and determined whether the students felt permitted to use the word despite not being Black. A convenience sampling method was employed to collect data, integrating qualitative techniques by inquiring if participants were familiar with the term. The sample consisted of 20 students from the Higher Education Department at Christ the King College, Gingoog City. Participants who responded affirmatively were further engaged through survey questionnaires specifically designed by the researchers. The study revealed that many participants encountered the n-word through various media. They understood that "nigga" is a derogatory term targeting Black individuals, their race, and their culture. While most participants refrained from using the term to avoid causing offense, some reported using it for humor, entertainment, or as a term of endearment among friends, without any intention of racial insult. Data analysis was conducted through thematic analysis, clustering responses based on recurring themes. The study concluded that language usage and interpretation vary significantly. It emphasized the importance of incorporating respect and awareness of the word's historical and social impact when using such language. Understanding the historical context and potential for harm is crucial in ensuring respectful and considerate communication. The findings underscore the necessity for greater awareness and education regarding the implications of using racially charged terms, particularly in diverse social settings.

description: Reactions between Al containing materials and counterfeit refrigerant chloromethane (R-40) were investigated under various conditions. The addition of Mg effected a reaction indicating that trimethylaluminum may have been produced in the reaction. A different study involving Al-foil, AlCl3 and chloromethane resulted in cracks detected on the Al-foil which reduced in weight by 19% and methane was detected. Studies conducted either at room temperature or at 80°C with two other genuine refrigerants, R-142b (1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane) and R-133a (2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane) did not form organoaluminum compounds. Several commercially available refrigerant oils were subjected to Me3Al. Only polyester oil resulted in a decrease in the quantity of methane released upon final deactivation with alcohol. Various chemicals were added to Me3Al in order to find which ones would react and not produce methane. Phthalaldehyde was determined to be the most efficient reagent by deactivating approximately 50% of the methyl groups on Me3Al.

description: Huggins R., Izushi H. and Prokop D. Networks, space and organizational performance: a study of the determinants of industrial research income generation by universities, Regional Studies. This paper examines the extent to which both network structure and spatial factors impact on the organizational performance of universities as measured by the generation of industrial research income. Drawing on data concerning the interactions of universities in the UK with large research and development (R&D)-intensive firms, the paper employs both social network analysis and regression analysis. It is found that the structural position of a university within networks with large R&D-intensive firms is significantly associated with the level of research income gained from industry. Spatial factors, on the other hand, are not found to be clearly associated with performance, suggesting that universities operate on a level playing field across regional environments once other factors are controlled for.

description: Demographic, political, institutional and financial determinants of regional social expenditure: the case of Spain. Regional Studies. This paper contributes to the literature on the determinants of regional social spending using a dataset of the 17 regional governments in Spain. With both a fixed-effects static and a dynamic model, results suggest that demography, inputs, institutional design and resources are critical in determining the size of regional social budgets. Empirical evidence was found about the existence of economies of scale, but social services do not seem to follow a luxury-goods pattern. Left-wing governments seem to spend more, while federal regulations work as constraints of regional autonomy. Finally, strong evidence that the ‘foral’ system of regional financing is creating horizontal inequalities in the access to essential public services was found, while the common regime seems to be working well enough.

description: Purpose: Sentence repetition (SR) is believed to be a clinical marker for developmental language disorder (DLD) across many languages. This study explored the potential of a self-designed Mandarin SR task (MSRT) to reflect Mandarin-speaking preschoolers’ language ability and to differentiate children with and without DLD in this population. Furthermore, we aimed to compare five scoring systems for evaluating children’s MSRT performance.Method: In Study 1, the MSRT was administered to 59 typically developing (TD) children aged 3;6 (years;months) to 6;5 in China. The task was examined regarding its ability to correlate with language indices derived from children’s narrative samples. In Study 2, both a TD and a DLD group were recruited to investigate the task’s sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios to distinguish between children with and without DLD.Results: Study 1 showed that, using four of the five scoring methods, TD children’s performance on the MSRT significantly correlated with all the language measures derived from narratives. Study 2 showed that the MSRT was able to differentiate children with and without DLD.Conclusion: The MSRT is a promising tool to reflect language abilities and identify DLD in Mandarin-speaking preschoolers. Based on the current evidence, we recommend that researchers and clinicians select the number of errors in the syllable method or the binary method when scoring responses to meet their specific needs.

description: Jones J. and Wren C. Does service FDI locate differently to manufacturing FDI? A regional analysis for Great Britain, Regional Studies. This paper analyses the location of foreign direct investment (FDI) in services at the NUTS-2 region level for Great Britain over 1996–2005, covering the period of growth in FDI. It finds strong differences in service FDI location compared with manufacturing FDI. Unlike manufacturing, service FDI location is determined at no higher than the NUTS-2 region level, while it is more dynamic and converging to the larger markets. A similar pattern is found for the services that are most forward-linked to manufacturing industries. The paper concludes that access to final consumer demand is important for service FDI, with implications for UK regional policy.

description: The effects of jogi (the fish Atlantic croaker, Micropogonias undulatus) on the production of physicochemical components, such as color, organic acids, and amino acids, in kimchi, a traditional fermented vegetable food of Korea, were determined. As fermentation progressed, the color change of jogi-added kimchi increased, but in comparison with that of the control group without jogi-added kimchi, was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Reducing sugar decreased in all experimental groups, and as fermentation progressed, kimchi with jogi showed a lower value. Acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, and ethanol, were highly produced in both types of kimchi, and above all, the jogi–baechu–kimchi group showed higher acetic acid and lactic acid contents than the control group. The increase and decrease of amino acids were similar in both types of kimchi. However, significantly, immediately after manufacture, the savory components aspartic acid and glutamic acid were detected higher than the control group. Subsequently, the fermentation tended to decrease as it progressed, but the content was higher than that of the control group. The above results show that jogi addition has a greater effect on the contents of amino acid, especially the savory component, than on the physicochemical components.

description: Ganau R. Productivity, credit constraints and the role of short-run localization economies: micro-evidence from Italy, Regional Studies. This paper investigates whether Italian manufacturing firms’ productivity is affected by credit constraints, and whether short-run localization economies foster productivity both directly and indirectly, moderating the negative effects of credit rationing via inter-firm credit relationships. Results suggest a negative effect of credit rationing on firms’ productivity, while a positive relationship exists between short-run localization economies and productivity. It emerges that location in an industrially concentrated area reduces firms’ investment-to-cash flow sensitivity, and that it positively moderates the negative effect of credit rationing on productivity. Moreover, the positive moderation effect seems to be increasing in the density of the local banking system.

description: Nai-yi Wang (2024). "The yin/yang properties of cancers and correlation with infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and allergies: treatment with small bidirectional molecules", In: "Evolutionary Progress in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics", Lawrence K. Wang and Hung-ping Tsao (editors). Vol. 6, No. 8A, August 2024, 18 pages; Lenox Institute Press, MA, USA. ..... ABSTRACT: Using the yin/yang theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), cancers can be divided into two categories: "hot" and "cold." This division is consistent with the correlation between various drugs and the risk or outcome of the disease. In addition, overtreatment of cancers may lead to other diseases through an imbalance of the homeostatic state. This paper proposes a novel strategy using small and "bidirectional" molecules to restore this balance by modulating Treg cells and tumor-promoting cytokines (such as IL-6). 作者按中医阴阳学说,将癌症分为寒热两类。此分类与各种药物致癌之风险或其结局一致。此外, 癌症过度治疗会因超出体内自然平衡的能力而造成寒热相反之疾病。因此本文提出一项新的策略,即藉使用所谓双向小分子调节Treg 细胞及促癌细胞因子(例如 IL-6)以恢复原有之平衡。

description: Effect of constraints on Tiebout competition: evidence from a school finance reform. Regional Studies. Michigan's school finance reform significantly increased state aid to low-spending districts and placed restraints on the growth of spending in high-spending districts. It is noteworthy that there is no literature yet on the impact of such reforms on resource allocation by school districts. This study begins to fill this gap. It finds that the reform led the high-spending districts to allocate a lower share of their total expenditure to support services and a higher share to instruction (relative to the low-spending districts). To the extent that instructional expenditures are more productive and contribute to student achievement more than support services expenditures, these results suggest that the reform led to a relative increase in productivity in the high-spending districts.

description: Anti-complementary activity-guided fractionation led to the isolation of a new abietane diterpene (1) and twenty-five known compounds (2–26) from the twigs and leaves of Juniperus tibetica. All the compounds were isolated from J. tibetica for the first time. The structure of 1 was assigned by spectroscopic data and X-ray crystallography analysis. Five lignans (2, 3, 7, 9 and 10), two flavones (19 and 22), and one coumarin (23) exhibited anti-complementary activity with CH50 values ranging from 0.3 to 3.69 mM.
SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) for Enhanced Plant Layout Efficiency

description: In manufacturing setups characterized by low volume, high optionality, substantial work content, and reliance on trivial knowledge, small and medium-scale industries often lack a systematic approach when it comes to redesigning their existing manufacturing lines or launching new manufacturing process lines. Traditional approaches to plant layout design, while having served their purpose in the past, come with inherent limitations and challenges that may hinder the adaptability and competitiveness of manufacturing facilities in the United States. This white paper delves into the pivotal role of plant layout design in industrial settings for a manufacturing line that consists of 16 sub-assembly lines, explores the drawbacks associated with conventional methods, and advocates for the adoption of a scientific, data-driven approach, precisely, Systematic Layout Planning (SLP), to overcome these challenges and propel manufacturing into a more efficient and adaptable future.

description: The external benefits of higher education. Regional Studies. The private-market benefits of education are widely studied at the micro-level, although the magnitude of their macroeconomic impact is disputed. However, there are additional benefits of education that are less well understood. In this paper the macroeconomic effects of external benefits of higher education are estimated using the ‘micro-to-macro’ simulation approach. Two types of externalities are explored: technology spillovers and productivity spillovers in the labour market. These links are illustrated and the results suggest they could be very large. However, this is qualified by the dearth of microeconomic evidence, for which the authors hope to encourage further work.

description: To reduce the inference cost of large language models, model compression is increasingly used to create smaller scalable models. However, little is known about their robustness to minority subgroups defined by the labels and attributes of a dataset. In this paper, we investigate the effects of 18 different compression methods and settings on the subgroup robustness of BERT language models. We show that worst-group performance does not depend on model size alone, but also on the compression method used. Additionally, we find that model compression does not always worsen the performance on minority subgroups. Altogether, our analysis serves to further research into the subgroup robustness of model compression.
