When “grass was greener”*: Longplay Album Covers and Learning English. A Retrospection

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper brings together several important threads accounting for learning English as a foreign language, that is, language learning experience, material culture as an element of this experience as well as a component of the learning environment, motivation and music. Material culture has recently attracted the attention of researchers interested in foreign/second language learning and multilingualism because it provides a rich context for many multilingual practices. Longplay album covers are an excellent example of artefacts that combine the verbal with the material. Music and songs, pop songs in particular, are an important motivating factor in learning languages.The aim of this paper is to share with the reader the author and her generation’s encounters with pop music of the 1960s, focusing on language learning experience based on the material aspects of these encounters, that is, longplay record covers. The paper, then, is the author’s personal reflection based on her own experience as well as on the multiple discussions she has had with friends and colleagues whose teenage years spanned the 1960s. Also connections between music and language learning are discussed along with suggestions of activities capitalizing on learners’ interest in music in the teaching process.

Dissemination occurred under voriconazole. Despite surgery and combination therapy with voriconazole, caspofungin, and terbinafine, the patient died 8 months after transplantation. Previously reported cases are reviewed.
Chapter V. Copies and Translations of the Persian Cuneiform Inscriptions of Persepolis, Hamadan, and Van

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

THE translations which I have given in the preceding chapter of the elaborate inscriptions of Behistun, will enable the reader to follow me with comparative ease through the present portion of the inquiry; for in the several detached legends which occur in other parts of the Persian empire, and of which I now proceed to give amended copies and translations, I shall neither have occasion to explain many new words, nor even to point out any essential varieties of grammar or construction. I cannot pretend, at the same time, that these brief and disconnected legends which have hitherto, as the only available materials of analysis, exclusively occupied the attention of the learned in Europe, will be found to possess nearly the same interest as the great inscription of Behistun. In the place of varied and historical recital, we must be content for the most part to peruse a certain formula of invocation to Ormazd, and a certain empty parade of royal titles, recurring with a most wearisome and disappointing uniformity. Geographical names, it is true, will occasionally be found to relieve the monotonous phraseology, and there are a few incidental expressions scattered among the records, which throw a faint light upon the faith and usages of the early Persians; but as a general principle, we may consider the value of these inscriptions to be confined to the aid which they afford in identifying the respective works of the early mbnarchs of the house of Achælmenes.
[Experimental study in Japanese monkeys with Helicobacter pylori infection].

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Japanese monkeys were studied for one month from 6 months (short-term) after inoculation of Helicobacter pylori, and two years (long-term). In the short-term study, macroscopic and histological gastritis were observed for 5 infected monkeys. The gastritis score, the ammonia concentration in the gastric secretion and the level of serum antibody (IgG) were higher for the infected group than for the control. In the long term study, H. pylori was always recovered for 2 years in the infected group, and the gastritis score was higher than the control. The intracellular periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) positive substances in the infected group decreased than that of the control. The tall of pyloric gland in the infected group was significantly decreased on 6 months from 1.5 years. These results suggest that the Japanese monkey can be used as experimental model of H. pylori infection and that H. pylori can induce chronic active gastritis similar to human.
Commissioning a newly developed treatment planning system, VQA Plan, for fast-raster scanning of carbon-ion beams

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In this study, we report our experience in commissioning a commercial treatment planning system (TPS) for fast-raster scanning of carbon-ion beams. This TPS uses an analytical dose calculation algorithm, a pencil-beam model with a triple Gaussian form for the lateral-dose distribution, and a beam splitting algorithm to consider lateral heterogeneity in a medium. We adopted the mixed beam model as the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) model for calculating the RBE values of the scanned carbon-ion beam. To validate the modeled physical dose, we compared the calculations with measurements of various relevant quantities as functions of the field size, range and width of the spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP), and depth–dose and lateral-dose profiles for a 6-mm SOBP in water. To model the biological dose, we compared the RBE calculated with the newly developed TPS to the RBE calculated with a previously validated TPS that is in clinical use and uses the same RBE model concept. We also performed patient-specific measurements to validate the dose model in clinical situations. The physical beam model reproduces the measured absolute dose at the center of the SOBP as a function of field size, range, and SOBP width and reproduces the dose profiles for a 6-mm SOBP in water. However, the profiles calculated for a heterogeneous phantom have some limitations in predicting the carbon-ion-beam dose, although the biological doses agreed well with the values calculated by the validated TPS. Using this dose model for fast-raster scanning, we successfully treated more than 900 patients from October 2018 to October 2020, with an acceptable agreement between the TPS-calculated and measured dose distributions. We conclude that the newly developed TPS can be used clinically with the understanding that it has limited accuracies for heterogeneous media.
Atomization of a Liquid Jet Under Swirling Air Stream

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">The instability of a viscous liquid jet surrounded by a swirling air stream subject to a 3-D disturbance is predicted by a linear stability model. The effect of flow conditions, fluid properties and nozzle geometry on the disintegration of the liquid jet are investigated by conducting a parametric study. It is observed that the relative velocity between the liquid and gas phases promotes the interfacial aerodynamic instability. The predicted range of wave numbers in which asymmetric modes have higher growth rates than the axisymmetric mode and dominate the instability agrees very well with experimental data. The density ratio significantly enhances the instability as does the axial Weber number. Liquid viscosity inhibits the disintegration process and damps higher helical modes more significantly than the axisymmetric mode. It is observed that air swirl has a stabilizing effect on the liquid jet.</div>
New Pyrazolylhydrazone Derivatives as Inhibitors of Platelet Aggregation

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract A series of 5-pyrazolylhydrazone derivatives was designed to be mixed hybrid isosteres of both BW755C and CBS-1108, which belong to the class of dual cyclo-oxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors. Some derivatives of this series inhibit the in-vitro platelet aggregation of citrated platelet-rich rabbit plasma induced by ADP (5 μm), collagen (5 μg mL−1) and arachidonic acid (100 μm). The structure-activity relationships of this class of compounds were determined from these results. When ADP is used as the aggregation inducer, the presence of free oxygenated substituents at the p-position in the phenyl subunit of the hydrazone moiety favours inhibitory activity; p-methoxyformylbenzene-5-(1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-nitropyrazolyl)hydrazone (100 μm), which has a methoxy group at this position was the most active with 62·8% inhibition of aggregation. In contrast, substitution in the aryl ring does not affect the aggregation induced by collagen, whereas the non-substituted compound, formylbenzene-5-(1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-nitropyrazolyl)hydrazone, showed similar activity to those of substituted derivatives. In the arachidonic acid assays, the presence of an aryl ring linked to the hydrazone moiety, with an adequate electronic density at the ring due to the nature of its substitutents, is an important structural requirement for inhibitory activity.
Hodder Avenue Underpass: An Innovative Bridge Solution with Ultra-High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The Hodder Avenue underpass – recipient of the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI)’s Harry H. Edwards Industry Advancement Award – is a new highway bridge near Thunder Bay, Canada that utilized a modular construction approach facilitated by the extensive use of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) to expedite construction, elevate aesthetic value and enhance quality and durability. Almost all structural components were precast in facilities and assembled on site using UHPFRC joints, which have compact geometries with less complexity, superior durability and strength. The precast elements include a unique UHPFRC pier cap and pier column shells, high performance concrete (HPC) box girders, sidewalks/parapet walls, abutment caps, ballast walls, slope paving panels and approach slabs. Aesthetically, the structure achieved a slender and open form with the use of shallow precast box girders and a unique pier cap visually and structurally integral with the superstructure. The cap beam was prestressed and precast fully with UHPFRC to overcome design challenges such as geometrical limitations and complex loading. The pier cap and girders were made composite using field-cast UHPFRC joints reinforced with stainless steel bars and threaded bolts. The pier columns also utilized a unique design with precast UHPFRC shells serving as an aesthetic stay-in-place form as well as a protective layer for the salt splashes during Thunder Bay’s harsh winter seasons.
Scaling up sustainable innovation: Stakeholder ties, eco‐product innovation, and new product performance

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract Deriving insights from the stakeholder theory, this article investigates the impact of industry stakeholders on product innovation through eco‐innovation. It further examines the moderating role of environmental R&D expenditure on this relationship. Using data from 212 firms, the results from this article reveal that (1) both intra and extra‐stakeholder ties predict eco‐innovation, (2) eco‐innovation mediates the relationship between industry stakeholder ties and new product performance, and (3) environmental R&D expenditure has a positive moderating effect on the linkage between intra and extra‐industry stakeholder ties and new product performance through eco‐innovation. These findings contribute to our understanding of the role of industry stakeholders in the context of emerging markets by being a driver of new product outcomes. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
Press residues of berry seeds : ingredients and physiological importance following human intervention studies

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Beerensamen verbleiben nach Produktionsprozessen als industrielle Abfallprodukte, welche präsumtiv wertvolle Inhaltsstoffe enthalten. Ziel der Untersuchungen war es, Inhaltsstoffe mit gesundheitlichem Nutzen zu identifizieren und deren Potential zur Verabreichung in Lebensmitteln zu prüfen. Nach Pressen und Mahlen standen verzehrstaugliche Pressrückstände (PR) von verschiedenen Samen zur Verfügung, in welchen folgende Parameter analysiert wurden: Öl, Fettsäurenverteilung, Tocopherole, Tocotrienole, Vitamin C, Gesamtballaststoffe, antioxidative Kapazität und Gallussäureäquivalent. Am Pressrückstand der Schwarzen Johannisbeere wurden des weiteren Faserfraktionen, Inositolphosphate, Anthocyane, Mineralstoffe, Phytosterole, Carotinoide, Proteinqualität, Energie- und Aschegehalt untersucht. Tocopherole und Ballaststoffe waren die ernährungsphysiologisch und quantitativ bedeutendsten Inhaltsstoffe der Pressrückstände. Der Pressrückstand der Schwarzen Johannisbeere wurde anschließend in zwei Humaninterventionsstudien (verzehrt in Joghurt bzw. gebacken in Brot) mit 18 bzw. 36 Probandinnen bezüglich physiologischer Effekte geprüft. Die Untersuchungen in den Humanproben Stuhl, Urin und Blut umfassten Tocopherole und Ballaststoffe sowie eine Vielzahl Antioxidantien-assoziierte Biomarker. Der vierwöchige Verzehr von Brot, angereichert mit PR der Schwarzen Johannisbeere, wirkte sich nachteilig auf den antioxidativen Status der Probanden aus, während die Gesamttocopherolkonzentrationen im Serum und Stuhl erhöht waren. Die Konzentration an Gesamtballaststoffen im Stuhl erhöhte sich durch die PR-Brot-Intervention. Des Weiteren führte der PR-Brot-Verzehr zur erhöhten Eisenausscheidung im Stuhl, gleichzeitig verringerte sich die Serum-Ferritin-Konzentration. Aufgrund nachteiliger Effekte des Verzehrs von PR der Schwarzen Johannisbeere kann dessen Anwendung in einem funktionellen Lebensmittel nicht empfohlen werden.
Exploring High School Students’ Preferences for English Writing Feedback: Non-Native English Teacher vs. Native English Teacher vs. ChatGPT

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study investigates high school students’ preferences for English writing feedback from three sources: non-native English teachers, native English teachers, and generative AI (ChatGPT), exploring which source students prefer and identifying factors influencing these preferences. A mixed-methods approach was employed with 20 high school students from an English newspaper club in Korea. Participants received feedback from all three providers based on a standardized rubric. Data collection included semi-structured interviews and Likert-scale surveys. Qualitative data were analyzed thematic analysis using constant comparative method, while quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Kruskal–Wallis tests and Dunn’s post hoc analysis. Students rated teacher–ChatGPT collaborative feedback highest, followed by native English teacher feedback, ChatGPT feedback (unaware of AI source), non-native English teacher feedback, and ChatGPT feedback (aware of AI source). Native teachers were valued for linguistic naturalness and cultural insights, non-native teachers for empathetic guidance and shared backgrounds, and ChatGPT for systematic and accessible feedback. Yet concerns emerged regarding AI’s limited contextual sensitivity, emotional depth, and data privacy. Findings highlight the potential of teacher–AI collaboration, suggesting that AI’s technical precision and teachers’ contextual expertise can complement each other. The study extends the concept of “more knowledgeable others” to AI and proposes hybrid feedback models that balance efficiency, reliability, and personalization in EFL contexts.
Logical Relations for Formally Verified Authenticated Data Structures

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Authenticated data structures allow untrusted third parties to carry out operations which produce proofs that can be used to verify an operation's output. Such data structures are challenging to develop and implement correctly. This paper gives a formal proof of security and correctness for a library that generates authenticated versions of data structures automatically. The proof is based on a new relational separation logic for reasoning about programs that use collision-resistant cryptographic hash functions. This logic provides a basis for constructing two semantic models of a type system, which are used to justify how the library makes use of type abstraction to enforce security and correctness. Using these models, we also prove the correctness of several optimizations to the library and then show how optimized, hand-written implementations of authenticated data structures can be soundly linked with automatically generated code. All of the results in this paper have been mechanized in the Coq proof assistant using the Iris framework.
Molecular Kinetics and Physical Gas Dynamics

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Detailed analyses of non‐equilibrium effects in hypersonic high‐temperature and high‐altitude phenomena require a clear understanding of the concepts and methods of the kinetic theory of gases. In this chapter, the Boltzmann equation and its extensions to polyatomic gases and mixtures are presented. The most prominent analytical, numerical, and physical methods for the solution of the Boltzmann equation are outlined. It is shown that the Navier–Stokes equations of fluid mechanics can be derived from the Boltzmann equation in the limit of near‐continuum, near‐equilibrium conditions.
On Orbit Modulation Transfer Function Estimation for BILSAT Imagers

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

BiLSAT, launched to its sun-synchronous orbit on 27.09.2003, is a 129 Kg small satellite carrying a panchromatic camera and a 4band multispectral camera with Ground Sampling Distances (GSD) 12.6 m and 28 m, respectively. The multispectral camera is composed of 4 totally independent cameras. All five refractive optic cameras have 2048 by 2048 frame CCDs as sensors. The overall Modulation Transfer Functions (MTF) of the imaging systems are very important for characterization of imagers. In this study, the MTF of BiLSAT imagers are calculated using two different methods. The first method for image-based MTF determination uses sharp linear edges for estimating the Edge Spread Function (ESF), from which Point Spread Function (PSF) is obtained by differentiation. A man-made high-contrast almost linear structure is used as imaging target. For precise detection of the edges, a 2D edge model is fitted to manually picked linear edge and the root-meansquare (RMS) difference between the image and the model is minimized by gradient search. Then, a parametric curve fitting is performed using a new parametric model. The PSF and MTF are obtained after differentiation and Fourier transformation, respectively. Second method is based on comparing BiLSAT images to high-resolution IKONOS images whose PSF is already known. The blur function that minimizes the RMS difference between the registered images is estimated. Image registration, blur estimation and radiometric correction parameter estimation are performed simultaneously. The fact that the images are taken with 3 months time difference and from slightly different angles cause difficulties. Small and almost planar areas are chosen to avoid parallax effects. Finally, the results obtained by two different methods are compared and the results are discussed.
RESEARCH ARTICLE Cell Elasticity Is Regulated by the Tropomyosin Isoform Composition of the

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The actin cytoskeleton is the primary polymer system within cells responsible for regulating cellular stiffness. While various actin binding proteins regulate the organization and dynam-ics of the actin cytoskeleton, the proteins responsible for regulating the mechanical proper-ties of cells are still not fully understood. In the present study, we have addressed the significance of the actin associated protein, tropomyosin (Tpm), in influencing the mechani-cal properties of cells. Tpms belong to a multi-gene family that form a co-polymer with actin filaments and differentially regulate actin filament stability, function and organization. Tpm isoform expression is highly regulated and together with the ability to sort to specific intracel-lular sites, result in the generation of distinct Tpm isoform-containing actin filament popula-tions. Nanomechanical measurements conducted with an Atomic Force Microscope using indentation in Peak Force Tapping in indentation/ramping mode, demonstrated that Tpm impacts on cell stiffness and the observed effect occurred in a Tpm isoform-specific man-ner. Quantitative analysis of the cellular filamentous actin (F-actin) pool conducted both bio-chemically and with the use of a linear detection algorithm to evaluate actin structures

On a Family of Decomposable Kernels on Sequences

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In many applications data is naturally presented in terms of orderings of some basic elements or symbols. Reasoning about such data requires a notion of similarity capable of handling sequences of different lengths. In this paper we describe a family of Mercer kernel functions for such sequentially structured data. The family is characterized by a decomposable structure in terms of symbol-level and structure-level similarities, representing a specific combination of kernels which allows for efficient computation. We provide an experimental evaluation on sequential classification tasks comparing kernels from our family of kernels to a state of the art sequence kernel called the Global Alignment kernel which has been shown to outperform Dynamic Time Warping
Transversal communication, diaspora, and the Euro-Kurds

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract The International Relations discipline (IR) has been uniquely resistant to practices and knowledges aimed at broadening the horizons of IR’s subjects. The discipline has worked to incarcerate its subjects in a location of analysis – spatially Cartesian and politically state-oriented – conditioned to ignore the transnational and transversal formations that have become central to politics. However, this disciplining has also engendered counter-movements pressuring the well-rehearsed disciplinary horizons. This article explores such movements through the Kurdish diaspora in Europe. It regards Kurdish diasporic formations as transversal practices that communicate against the disciplinary boundaries imposed upon the political imagination through traditional IR.
