Assessment of the Ultrasonic Machine for Surface Finishing of 3D-Printed Cobalt-Chromium Alloy by Selective Laser Melting Technology by Mahmood Abdulla Ahmad, Israa Mohammed Hummudi

“…This study aims to assess the surface roughness for SLM by using USM instead of conventional finishing. The discs of cobalt chromium alloy were printed by SLM (n = 20) and evenly divided into two groups: one for finishing in compliance with the manufacturer's standard procedure, and the other for employing USM. …”

L’historiographie ou la « comédie de l’identité ». Une contribution à l’étude du concept de représentation en histoire à partir des réflexions de Michel de Certeau by Diana Napoli

“…This polysemy can nevertheless be subjected to a more thorough examination thanks to the reflection of Michel de Certeau in a direction susceptible to demonstrate the almost “clinical” aspects that the historical “representation” is capable to mobilize in a society.Our goal is not to destabilize a central notion of the historiographical practice. Instead, we have tried to find, in the de Certeau’s work, a use of the concept of representation capable of interrogating the meaning of the historiographical act in a presentist regime of historicity in which, under the hold of the dimension of the presence, the historical and memorial discourses seem to confound themselves and to compete with each other in order to apprehend the past.Certeau has notably envisaged, from a reading of Freud, representation that history uses as a comedy of the identity that a society, in a relation an almost schizophrenic relation with the past, plays in order to establish itself in the present. …”

Uranium(VI)/Plutonium(IV) Separation from Spent MOX Fuels Using a Single Monoamide Extractant: The PUMAS Process by Michaud Solenne, Duterme Amandine, Costenoble Sylvain, Lengrand Fabien, Vanel Vincent, Moeyaert Pauline, Sarrat Pierre, Sorel Christian, Miguirditchian Manuel

“…This extractant allows plutonium(IV) back-extraction by changing the acidity instead of the plutonium oxidation state. This paper sum up the methodology and the different hot tests performed in Atalante facility to demonstrate uranium(VI)/plutonium(IV) separation from used MOX fuels using this single monoamide extractant with the so-called PUMAS process.…”

A Way to Automatically Generate Lane Level Traffic Data from Video in the Intersections by Zhongguo Yang, Sikandar Ali, Weilong Ding, Irshad Ahmed Abbasi, Muhammad Faizan Khan

“…Many previous works focus on applying sensor data instead to videos to extract traffic flow. However, the reversible lanes and various shooting angles obstruct the progress of constructing a traffic data collection system. …”

Introduction: Urban-Rural Differences in Historical Demography by Christa Matthys, Jan Kok, Richard Paping

“…For many migrants, their migration was not a definitive break with the place of origin, and they did not assimilate completely to the dominant behavior in their destination. Instead, migrants often remained embedded in and influenced by trans-regional social networks.…”

Revisiting Dipole-Induced Fluorinated-Anion Decomposition Reaction for Promoting a LiF-Rich Interphase in Lithium-Metal Batteries by Liu Wang, Jiahui Guo, Qi Qi, Xiaotong Li, Yuanmeng Ge, Haoyi Li, Yunfeng Chao, Jiang Du, Xinwei Cui

“…Highlights Single-layer graphdiyne on MXene (sGDY@MXene) heterostructure was fabricated and integrated into polypropylene separators, directing a LiF-rich solid electrolyte interphase and long-term stability of lithium-metal anode. Instead of direct electron transfer from surface polar groups to fluorinated anions, the adsorbed Li ions on sGDY@MXene act as dynamic bridges collaboratively connecting the electron-donating heterostructure to the anion and its derivatives, facilitating interface charge transfer. …”

A Quantum Sensor for Neutrino Mass Measurements by Juan Manuel Cornejo, Daniel Rodríguez

“…The device will allow measuring atomic masses, and therefore Q-values from decays with unprecedented accuracy and sensitivity, using fluorescence photons from a laser-cooled ion instead of electronic detection. This paper will give an overview on Q-value measurements performed with Penning traps, relevant for neutrino mass spectrometry, describing the Quantum Sensor and the facility under construction. …”

On the simulation of quantum multimeters by Andreas Bluhm, Leevi Leppäjärvi, Ion Nechita

“…From the perspective of an experimenter with a given multimeter as part of a complicated setup, having to discard the multimeter and using a different one instead is undesirable. We give a new definition of multimeter simulations as transformations that are triviality-preserving, i.e., when given a multimeter consisting of trivial measurements they can only produce another trivial multimeter. …”

Lightweight Data Compression in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Huffman Coding by Henry Ponti Medeiros, Marcos Costa Maciel, Richard Demo Souza, Marcelo Eduardo Pellenz

“…This paper presents a lightweight data compression method for wireless sensor networks monitoring environmental parameters with low resolution sensors. Instead of attempting to devise novel ad hoc algorithms, we show that, given general knowledge of the parameters that must be monitored, it is possible to efficiently employ conventional Huffman coding to represent the same parameter when measured at different locations and time periods. …”

Facial Fat Grafting Cannula: A Tool to Facilitate Closed Irrigation in Flexor Tenosynovitis by Lucas Kreutz-Rodrigues, MD, Mehmet Furkan Tunaboylu, MD, Steven L. Moran, MD

“…However, this method has its own challenges, such as catheter bending and kinking, thereby obstructing the fluid irrigation process and prolonging the operative duration. Instead, we propose the use of a rigid plastic facial fat grafting cannula, which is coupled to a 50-mL syringe with 0.9% saline solution. …”
