Formation of the Educational Trajectory: Educational Motives and Choices in the Narratives of Students from Moscow Leading Universities by A. V. Noskova, D. V. Goloukhova, E. I. Kuzmina

“…Educational choices related to keeping or changing the educational trajectory are determined by the desire to avoid risks and having a high level of satisfaction with studies in the case of linear trajectories and the desire  to  gain  new  educational  experience,  obtaining  competencies  that  go  beyond  the  scope of the specialty being studied, as well as environmental factors of the university in the case of non-linear tracks.It is shown that a qualitative research strategy allows the researchers to look at reflected educational choices from the perspective of their semantic content, which is especially in demand due to the growing trend towards individualization of the educational process. …”

Traversable Wormholes Existence in fR,T Gravity Involving Trace-Squared Term with Nonexotic Matter by M. Zubair, Quratulien Muneer, Saira Waheed

“…To achieve this, we choose an interesting gravitational framework of fℛ,T theory which contains a quadratic term of energy-momentum tensor Tij trace and a well-known Starobinsky fℛ model in its extended form. We analyze the behavior of energy constraints in the framework of fℛ,T=ℛ+αℛ2+γℛn+λT2 (where α, γ, and λ are some random constants) model for the well-proposed shape function Sr=r0r0/rε (where ε is a constant and r0 is the wormhole throat). …”

MIMO OTA performance testing of vehicles by Lei LI, Guiming WEI, Guokai JIANG, Jiaxu FENG, Xiang WU

“…Intelligent traffic system is one of promising technologies for traffic industry.Based on communication among cars, pedestrian, traffic infrastructure and cellular networks, it’s able to significantly promote on road safety and efficiency by making proper traffic instructions.How to precisely evaluate the communication performance of a whole vehicle become a hot-topic in the field.Unfortunately, there is still no solution about the setup and procedures for the OTA testing.A low-cost solution was proposed by reconstructing channel models and optimizing the existing testing system framework that referred to as multi-probe anechoic chamber.The proposed method was able to multiple the test area with limited channel emulator RF channels by introducing a low-cost digital converter.Numerical simulations indicate that the proposed method has the ability to reproduce spatial and temporal correlation features of the target channel model, which is coherent with related standards’ requirements.…”

Multimodal element (including lithium) mapping in a Mg-9Li-4Al-1Zn alloy by Yu Zhang, Yang Liu, Zhuoran Zeng, Nick Birbilis, Philip N.H. Nakashima, Laure Bourgeois

“…Determining the distribution of alloying elements, particularly lithium, is crucial for a holistic understanding of magnesium-lithium-based alloys. In this work, a bespoke ratio spectrum-imaging method based on electron energy-loss spectroscopy, in combination with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Z-contrast imaging, was applied to an as-rolled LAZ941 alloy (Mg-9Li-4Al-1Zn in wt.%). …”

Smart Grid as a Service: A Discussion on Design Issues by Hung-Lin Chao, Chen-Chou Tsai, Pao-Ann Hsiung, I-Hsin Chou

“…Smart grid allows the integration of distributed renewable energy resources into the conventional electricity distribution power grid such that the goals of reduction in power cost and in environment pollution can be met through an intelligent and efficient matching between power generators and power loads. Currently, this rapidly developing infrastructure is not as “smart” as it should be because of the lack of a flexible, scalable, and adaptive structure. …”
