Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) are widely used in electric vehicles (EVs) for their high energy density. However, their fire safety causes concerns because of the toxic gases emission and the challenge to extinguish. The type and quantity of toxic gases released during battery fires remain among the least studied hazards, with limited data available despite their serious health risks. This study examines the thermal and gaseous emission behavior of LIB cells after thermal runaway (TR). Five cell types, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP), Lithium Titanate (LTO), and three Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt oxide (NMC). The three NMC variants share the same base …
Energy-Harvesting Concurrent Lora Mesh With Timing Offsets For Underground Mine Emergency Communications, Hilary Kelechi Anabi, Samuel Frimpong, Sanjay Madria
Energy-Harvesting Concurrent Lora Mesh With Timing Offsets For Underground Mine Emergency Communications, Hilary Kelechi Anabi, Samuel Frimpong, Sanjay Madria
Mining Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Underground mine emergencies destroy communication infrastructure when situational awareness is most critical. Current systems rely on centralized network infrastructure, which fails during emergencies when miners are trapped and require rescue coordination. This paper proposes an energy-harvesting LoRa mesh network that addresses self-powered operation, interference management, and adaptive physical layer optimization under severe underground propagation conditions. A dual-antenna architecture separates RF energy harvesting (860 MHz) from LoRa communication (915 MHz), enabling continuous operation with supercapacitor storage. The core contribution is a decentralized scheduler that derives optimal timing offsets by modeling concurrent transmissions as a Poisson collision process, exploiting LoRa's capture effect …

The Reasonable Officer And The Disabled Subject, Jamelia N. Morgan
Vanderbilt Law Review
Police violence against disabled people is a fundamental problem of policing. Whether through so called wellness checks, quality of life policing, or coercive state civil commitment procedures, disabled people are often on the receiving end of intrusion, violence, and rights violations by law enforcement. Yet, so, too, is everyone else. That disabled people are similarly, and yet uniquely, vulnerable to intrusion, violence, and rights violations by law enforcement might seem like just another group to add to the list of groups harmed by policing and police violence. However, the focus on disability does not merely bring to the forefront problems …

A Comprehensive Discussion On Fuzzy Hypersoft Expert, Superhypersoft, And Indetermsoft Graphs, Takaaki Fujita
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
Graph theory, a branch of mathematics, studies relationships among entities through vertices and edges. To capture the inherent uncertainties in real-world networks, Uncertain Graph Theory has evolved within this field. Soft Expert Graphs combine conventional graph theory with expert assessments, using fuzzy sets for vertices and edges, while allowing expert opinions to shape the uncertainties and relationships within the graph. Hypersoft Graphs extend this concept further by incorporating multi-attribute nodes that represent multiple distinct attribute values, enabling the modeling of more complex, multi-dimensional relationships. In this paper, we define the Hypersoft Expert Graph and explore its connections to other classes …

The Problem Of Identification Of Linear Stationary Objects With Distributed Parameters By Their Experimental Transient Characteristics, Miraziz Vorisovich Sagatov
Chemical Technology, Control and Management
A wide class of control system elements can be described with reasonable accuracy by the concept of a linear stationary dynamic object. Several mathematical descriptions of such an object are known. The traditional mathematical model is a high-order ordinary linear differential equation. In the Laplace image space, this corresponds to a fractional-rational transfer function. The latter can be decomposed into elementary fractions. Then, using the convolution theorem and tables of elementary Laplace transform functions, one can access the originals. It is crucial to ensure precise alignment of the parameters of the mathematical model of the object used in the corrector …

Chemical Technology, Control and Management
The paper considered the problems of researching the stabilisation system and backstepping control of stochastic nonlinear systems. The characteristics of stochastic nonlinear dynamic control systems are random signals with normal lawful distribution, which significantly complicates task control. In stochastic control, it is necessary to determine the trajectories of the control variables in order to achieve the desired control objective at minimum cost. Since the mathematical equations of stochastic nonlinear systems are not always constant, not every model-based controller can be accurate. Therefore, in this work, a neuro-fuzzy network is used to evaluate the parameters of the control system with backstepping, …

Graphic Design For Visual Narratives: The Semiotics Of Diegetic Retrofuturism, Brooke Luke Ballard
Graphic Design For Visual Narratives: The Semiotics Of Diegetic Retrofuturism, Brooke Luke Ballard
Theses
While semiotics, diegesis, and retrofuturism have all been discussed at length in academia, it is uncommon to find the synthesis of all three. When these concepts are combined, it forms what I argue is a new genre of graphic design now prevalent enough in contemporary media to warrant definition and analysis. This thesis first explores the theories of visual semiotics, narrative diegesis, and retrofuturistic aesthetics individually before uniting them as a new design genre. Several candidates for this design classification will then be examined in case studies that meet the criteria of 1) containing a visual language that a modern …

Risk Beyond Borders: How Exporters Navigate Background Risks In A Volatile Trade Landscape, Soumyatanu Mukherjee
Risk Beyond Borders: How Exporters Navigate Background Risks In A Volatile Trade Landscape, Soumyatanu Mukherjee
American Business Review
This paper explores how exporting firms make production and allocation decisions when confronted with uninsurable background risks – such as abrupt policy shifts, logistical disruptions, and unforeseen compliance costs – that compound traditional exchange rate risks in global trade. Using a mean-variance (MV) utility framework, we model a representative firm’s optimal export behavior under jointly distributed risks and derive comparative static results that elucidate how changes in the magnitude and dependence structure of background risks affect export intensity. Unlike expected utility models, the MV approach offers tractable conditions that capture intuitive properties such as variance vulnerability and decreasing absolute risk …

Performance Of Arbitrage Mutual Funds: Risk, Fund Size And Market Sentiments – Evidence From India, Dmv Lakshmi Velagala, Satish Kumar, Kali Charan Sabat
American Business Review
We examine the theory of decreasing returns to scale by assessing the impact of fund size on the performance of arbitrage mutual funds in India. Fund manager of arbitrage funds with large fund size tend to hold cash equivalents due to inadequate arbitrage opportunities, resulting in underperformance. The study formulates four equally weighted portfolios of selected arbitrage mutual funds on the basis of fund size and applies market model and Jensen’s differential return model (1968) to examine the differential performance of portfolios. We apply Bhardwaj & Brooks dual beta model (1993) to assess performance of arbitrage fund portfolios across different …
