Abstract Arabic dialect identification is essential in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and forms a critical component of applications such as machine translation, sentiment analysis, and cross-language text generation. The difficulties in differentiating between Arabic dialects have garnered more attention in the last 10 years, particularly in social media. These difficulties result from the overlapping vocabulary of the dialects, the fluidity of online language use, and the difficulties in telling apart dialects that are closely related. Managing dialects with limited resources and adjusting to the ever-changing linguistic trends on social media platforms present additional challenges. A strong… More >

Abstract The present investigation centers on the impact of viscous dissipation and ohmic heating on the plume generated by a line heat source under the impact of an aligned magnetic field. In this study, the flow model is adapted to incorporate ohmic heating and viscous dissipation by including the respective terms in the energy equation. A mathematical model is formulated as a system of coupled partial differential equations to analyze the flow problem. Subsequently, a numerical solution is derived with stream function formulation for the system of coupled partial differential equations, which transmutes it into ordinary… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract To clarify the response characteristics of broomcorn millet yield and quality to various fertilizers under low nitrogen conditions, the present study investigated the effects of different fertilization treatments, including no fertilization (HCK, CCK), urea (HF1, CF1), phosphate fertilizer (HF2, CF2), compound fertilizer (HF3, CF3), and organic fertilizer (HF4, CF4), on the agronomic traits, quality, and starch pasting properties of proso millet. As experimental materials, non-waxy proso millet (Hequ red proso millet, denoted as HQH) and waxy proso millet (Chishu 1, denoted as CS1) were utilized. The results showed that under low nitrogen conditions, urea treatment… More >

Abstract To explore the effect of fertilizers on the yield and quality of Platostoma palustre, in this study, P. palustre was utilized as the research material, and field experiments were conducted with different application rates of compound fertilizer and organic fertilizer and non-targeted metabolomics analysis was further employed to compare and analyze the differences in the metabolic components between the compound fertilizer and organic fertilizer treatments. The results of field experiments demonstrated that both compound and organic fertilizers could promote the fresh weight, shade dry weight, and dry weight of P. palustre, with 450 kg hm⁻² compound fertilizer and 4500… More >

Abstract This study aims to optimize the influence of the inlet inclination angle on the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), heat, and temperature distribution in mixed convection within a two-dimensional square cavity filled with an air-CO₂ mixture. The air-CO₂ mixture enters the cavity through two inlet openings positioned at the top wall, which is set at the ambient temperature (T_C). Three values of the Reynolds numbers, ranging from 1000 to 2000, are considered, while the Prandtl number is kept constant (Pr = 0.71). The temperature distribution and streamlines are shown for Rayleigh number (Ra) equal to 10⁴, three inlet More >

Abstract The impact of World War II on the physical landscape of British towns and cities as a result of airborne assault is well known. However, less newsworthy but arguably no less significant is the impact of the war on agriculture and the countryside, especially in South-East England. This paper outlines the building of an historical Geographical Information System (GIS) from different data sources including the National Farm Survey (NFS), Luftwaffe and Royal Air Force (RAF) aerial photographs and basic topographic mapping for the South Downs in East and West Sussex. It explores the impact and… More >

Abstract Radar Absorbing Materials (RAM) are a class of composites that can attenuate incident electromagnetic waves to avoid radar detection. Most carbon allotropes that have the potential to be used as RAM are either carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, carbon black (CB) and ultimately, sustainable porous carbon (SPC). Here, black wattle bark waste (following tannin extraction) was used as a sustainable source to produce SPC made from biomass waste. It was characterized and used as a filler for a silicone rubber matrix to produce a flexible RAM. The electromagnetic performance of this composite was compared with composites… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Currently, the operational performance assessment system in the power market primarily focuses on power generation and electricity retail companies, lacking a system tailored to the operational characteristics of power generation/selling integrated companies. Therefore, this article proposes an assessment index system for assessing the operational performance of a power generation/selling integrated company, encompassing three dimensions: basic capacity, development potential, and external environment. A dynamic proportional adjustment coefficient is designed, along with a subjective and objective weighting model for assessment indexes based on a combined weighting method. Subsequently, the operational performance of an integrated company is assessed More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Background: The pTNM staging system is widely recognized as the most effective prognostic indicator for cancer. The latest update of this staging system introduced a new pathological staging system (ypTNM) for patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT). However, whether the prognostic value of the ypTNM staging system for rectal cancer is similar to that of the pTNM staging system remains unclear. This study was conducted to compare the ypTNM and pTNM staging systems in terms of their prognostic value for patients with nonmetastatic rectal cancer undergoing proctectomy. Material and Methods: This study was conducted at a large teaching… More >

Abstract The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) will carry a large amount of security and privacy-related data, which makes the secure communication between the IoV terminals increasingly critical. This paper studies the joint beamforming for physical-layer security transmission in the coexistence of Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication with Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) assistance, taking into account hardware impairments. A communication model for physical-layer security transmission is established when the eavesdropping user is present and the base station antenna has hardware impairments assisted by RIS. Based on this model, we propose to maximize the V2I physical-layer security… More >
