This special issue introduction explores dialogic organizing centred on affirming public engagement for hope and solidarity. We propose ways of retheorizing and revitalizing dialogic perspectives and practices. In so doing we take our cue a Bakhtinian understanding of dialogue; however, we suggest that it is necessary to move beyond this foundational understanding. Instead, it needs to be read in
The HIBEAM-NNBAR program is a proposed two-stage experiment at the European Spallation Source focusing on searches for baryon number violation processes as well as ultralight dark matter. This paper presents recent advancements in computing and simulation, including machine learning for event selection, fast parametric simulations for detector studies, and detailed modeling of the time projection
We report 23 lichenicolous fungi new to Sweden, among these, one is new to Europe, 21 are new to Fennoscandia, and two are newly reported for Norway. This article focuses only on mitosporic fungi. The newly reported species are Acremonium pertusariae, Cladophialophora dimorphospora, Cladosporium licheniphilum, Corynespora laevistipitata, Didymocyrtis cladoniicola, D. grumantiana, Ellisembia lichen
The rate of change in adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE), in which a population of microorganisms is continuously cultivated under a specific selective pressure, is controlled by the cellular mutagenesis rate and the randomness of where in the genetic material mutations are introduced. The constant selection pressure makes it a crucial, yet slow, method in developing microorganisms with novel phe
The NA62 experiment at CERN reports searches for K+→μ+N and K+→μ+νX decays, where N and X are massive invisible particles, using the 2016–2018 data set. The N particle is assumed to be a heavy neutral lepton, and the results are expressed as upper limits of O(10−8) of the neutrino mixing parameter |Uμ4|2 for N masses in the range 200–384 MeV/c2 and lifetime exceeding 50 ns. The X particle is consi
An experiment has been performed to study excited states in the neutron-deficient nucleus Ir175 via the use of the JUROGAM II high-purity germanium detector array and the RITU gas-filled separator at JYFL, Jyväskylä. By using isomer tagging, an isomeric state with a half-life of 6.58(15) μs has been observed in Ir175 for the first time. It has been established that the isomer decays via a 45.2 (E1
Dark matter particles, if sufficiently light, may be produced in decays of the Higgs boson. This Letter presents a statistical combination of searches for H→invisible decays where H is produced according to the standard model via vector boson fusion, Z(-)H, and W/Z(had)H, all performed with the ATLAS detector using 36.1 fb-1 of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV at the LHC. In co
PoxtA and OptrA are ATP binding cassette (ABC) proteins of the F subtype (ABCF). They confer resistance to oxazolidinone and phenicol antibiotics, such as linezolid and chloramphenicol, which stall translating ribosomes when certain amino acids are present at a defined position in the nascent polypeptide chain. These proteins are often encoded on mobile genetic elements, facilitating their rapid s
Of concern are traveling wave solutions for the fractional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (fKP) equation. The existence of periodically modulated solitary wave solutions is proved by dimension-breaking bifurcation. Moreover, the line solitary wave solutions and their transverse (in)stability are discussed. Analogous to the classical Kadmomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation, the fKP equation comes in two vers
This paper documents the development of a sustainable greenhouse system which incorporates a greenhouse, reverse electrodialysis (RED), reverse osmosis, and a dehumidification desalination system aiming to support water and energy self-sufficient agriculture in arid regions with a saline groundwater feed. The system is referred to as the sustainable greenhouse (SGH). The aim is to generate enough
The stability of relaxation techniques has been studied for strongly coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) with application to a cantilever immersed in channel flow. The fluid is governed by Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible flow condition using turbulence modeling, and the solid is governed by the equation of motion with compressible material modeling. The applied kinematic descripti
Mitigating climate change will require large-scale changes to energy systems. Two examples are increased use of renewable energy resources and electrification of the transport sector. These changes increase demand for metals. This chapter looks into which metals are used in renewable energy technologies and why, how much is required to transition the global energy system and which countries hold t
Due to its range-dependent target response, frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output (FDA-MIMO) radar systems enable superior detection capabilities as compared with conventional phased-array radars. This paper proposes an incoherent detector for airborne FDA-MIMO radar to detect independent but possibly non-identically distributed fluctuating targets. For FDA-MIMO, variations in the
Externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) was used to increase load bearing capacity of light weight aggregate concrete (LWA) masonry walls subjected to eccentric axial compression. Ladder type masonry reinforcement, high strength steel wire strips and glass fiber mesh were used for strengthening of eleven, 2.4 m high, 0.5 m long and 0.1 m thick walls. The reinforcement was applied on the dry wall sur
The ability to generate and control movement is essential for human interactions and overall well-being. Neuromuscular impairment caused by neurological injuries and diseases, such as stroke or limb amputation, severely limits the ability of affected individuals to interact with the surrounding environment, necessitating advanced strategies for rehabilitation and restoration of motor function.
