Comments on the RG‐Flow in Open String Field Theory

Fortschritte der Physik, EarlyView.
Abstract We define a metric G$G$ on the KBc‐subalgebra modulo gauge and describe the worldsheet RG‐flow as the gradient flow of the action of cubic open string field theory, where the flow lines are kink‐solitons. In particular, for a constant tachyon the gradient flow equations are equivalent to the RG‐equations. Additionally, a more general family of

Exploring New Chemical Paths in Quantum AI: Preliminary Accomplishments and Future Perspectives

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
Two new strategies derived from Chemical AI to promote the advancement of sustainable quantum technologies are presented and discussed. The first strategy relies on the chemical implementation of molecular fuzzy sets, which are quantum mixed states associated with chemical microheterogeneous systems. The second strategy relies on photochromic compounds

The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Toward Explainable Engineering Decisions: Pursuing a Descriptive Decision Theory at the Intersection of Analysis, Judgment, and Conviction

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Engineers design the technical systems that define and sustain our society. The decision‐making scenarios they face require both quantitative analyses and the consideration of qualitative factors, which are shaped by deeply held beliefs, values, and societal contexts. However, existing engineering decision‐making models, primarily derived from

Neural Correlates of Task‐Specific Willingness to Communicate: Expanding the Research Agenda

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Learners' affective responses to pedagogic tasks and the effort that they invest in completing them are critical to the learning that takes place through tasks in task‐based language teaching (TBLT) (Lambert, Aubrey, & Bui, 2023). Fluctuations in learners' willingness to communicate (WTC) during pedagogic tasks—or task‐specific WTC (Aubrey ...

From Task Motivation to L2 Learning: Understanding Links through Learners' Task Engagement

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated whether learners' task motivation predicts their task engagement, and whether their task engagement is associated with subsequent L2 learning. Task motivation was operationalized through situated expectancy‐value theory (SEVT; Eccles & Wigfield, 2020), a model of the proximal (i.e., task‐specific) social‐cognitive ...

Disruptive Repentance: Protesting in the Morning Service at Waitangi in 1983

Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.
In 1983 on Waitangi Day, nine Pākehā Christian protesters (including Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian and Baptist ministers) were arrested and charged with disorderly behaviour for interrupting the morning church service at Waitangi. In solidarity with Māori activists and wider protests, they sought to draw attention to the longstanding failure of the ...

Bushfire management, prescribed burning, and a right to fire?

Geographical Research, EarlyView.
Bushfire control is a public policy priority in an era of climate change. Prescribed burning is one management solution. Prescribed burning policies prioritise human lives and avoidance of property losses. However, some species require fire to survive. We find the ‘right to fire’ is not prioritised in prescribed burning policy.
