A numerical sensitivity study on the snow-darkening effect by black carbon deposition over the Arctic in spring by Z. Zhang, Z. Zhang, L. Zhou, L. Zhou, L. Zhou, M. Zhang, M. Zhang

“…The simulation results indicate that BC deposition can directly affect the surface energy balance by decreasing snow albedo and its corresponding radiative forcing (RF). On average, BC deposition at 50 <span class="inline-formula">ng g⁻¹</span> causes a daily average RF of 1.6 <span class="inline-formula">W m⁻²</span> in offline simulations (without surface feedbacks) and 1.4 <span class="inline-formula">W m⁻²</span> in online simulations (with surface feedback). …”

A Study of the evolution of prefixal verbs in Dibaji dialect from the perspective of grammaticalization by Havva Haj eidi, Gholam Reza Dinmohammadi

“…In order to answer this question, we examine the evolution of verbal prefixes and the formation of these prefixal verbs over time. Studying the ancient texts of Iranian languages, we indicate that the prefixes of these verbs were lexical items in the ancient period, which were decategorized and evolved into current forms by acquiring a grammatical role and changing into affixes. …”

Large Scale LEO Satellite Internet Routing Algorithm Based on Load Balancing by Yijie WANG, Wei ZHAO, Fei CHENG, Wen CHEN, Anjie CAO

“…The expanding market demand has set off an upsurge of large-scale LEO constellation deployment.With the characteristics of large bandwidth, low delay and continuous coverage, it provides broadband internet services for users all over the world.Aiming at the problem of congestion and packet loss caused by uneven network load, an adaptive large-scale LEO inter satellite routing algorithm based on load balancing was proposed.The algorithm divided the direction and level of candidate satellites according to the information obtained from small area detection, calculated the weight value according to diff erent partition results, and selected the next hop node with the highest level and the lowest weight value, carry out the same steps hop by hop until the data reaches the destination satellite node, fi nally formed a low delay path to realized low packet loss rate data transmission in the whole network.Through the simulation experiment, compared with the classical algorithm and the existing large-scale LEO satellite routing algorithm, the routing algorithm could eff ectively improved the routing performance of LEO large-scale satellite communication network and provided high-quality services for users.…”

Facile construction of polyoxometalate-modified polyaryletherketone-based hybrid membranes with enhanced proton conductivity by Bo Hu, Qiuchen Du, Yang Yang, Dengdeng Li, Jiawang Fu, Bailing Liu, Hong-Ying Zang, Yangguang Li, Haiming Xie, Zhongmin Su

“…Because of its structural characteristics, the nanosized PW12 induced precise hybridization of the nanophase structure of this ionomeric polymer and the formation of proton transport channels. Additionally, the hydrogen-bonding networks formed by PW12 and sulfonic acid groups increased the proton conductivity and mechanical strength of the resulting hybrid PEMs and improved the close-packed structure of the PEMs to achieve an appropriate balance between conductivity and fuel permeation. …”

Historia, héroes y conmemoraciones como armas de lucha política. El culto a Miguel Hidalgo en tiempos de la intervención francesa en México by Omar Fabián González Salinas

“…El artículo muestra cómo en tiempos de la intervención francesa en México (1862- 1867), tanto el Imperio de Maximiliano como los republicanos encabezados por Benito Juárez, reconocían en Miguel Hidalgo al Padre de la Patria, solo que cada bando –según su postura política– moldeó una interpretación distinta del personaje. Se ilustran las formas en que la forja de una memoria histórica de carácter nacional –con sus héroes y rituales celebratorios–, no solo fue parte importante para imaginar la nación y potenciar una identidad nacional, sino que también se convirtió en un tipo de arma política útil para persuadir a la población para que reconociera como legítimo a determinado proyecto de Estado.…”
