A leap by the rise of solid-state electrolytes for Li-air batteries

Li-air batteries have attracted extensive attention because of their ultrahigh theoretical energy density. However, the potential safety hazard of flammable organic liquid electrolytes hinders their practical applications. Replacing liquid electrolytes with solidstate electrolytes (SSEs) is expected to fundamentally overcome the safety issues. In this work, we focus on the development and challenge of solid-stateLi-air batteries (SSLABs). The rise of different types of SSEs, interfacial compatibility and verifiability in SSLABs are presented. The corresponding strategies and prospects of SSLABs are also proposed. In particular, combining machine learning method with experiment and in situ (or operando) techniques is imperative to accelerate the development of SSLABs.

The article dwells on the etymologic, syntagmatic and paradigmatic analysis of concepts “masculinity” and “femininity” in Spanish language based on examples from Spanish fiction. 3 types of morphosyntax compatibility and the main lexical-semantical groups of researched concepts are revealed. Moreover, the synonymous line of concepts “masculinity” and “femininity” in Spanish is represented in this paper.

On the issue of technical compatibility of electrotechnical complexes and systems of aircrafts

BACKGROUND: Among the variety of different types of technical compatibility (TC), design, technological, operational and thermal types have a high priority. The reason is that these TC types are commonly the most problematic and typical for the majority of modern machines.
 AIMS: Two approaches to development of new prospective projects of autonomous electrotechnical complexes (ETC) of aircrafts, such as particular system design (PSD) and complex system design (CSD) are considered.
 METHODS: Analysis and synthesis of elements of the ETC of aircraft, as well as a systematic approach to design.
 RESULTS: Details and advantages of the CSD are revealed. Problems and conditions, making practical implementation of this approach possible, are given. All notions and considered design approaches find their application in development and modernization of aircrafts (AC) as well as ETCs. Various types of compatibility, such as operational compatibility, design compatibility, thermal compatibility, size compatibility, energetic compatibility and informational compatibility are outlined. Generally, TC research by engineers and scientists gains more relevance of solving the problem of modern machines improvement. Scale and relevance of this problem only at focal points of ensuring some TC types are given in the article, as more detailed consideration is problematic even at a monograph level and impossible at an article level because the number of researched TC types goes beyond 40.
 CONCLUSIONS: For the complete analysis of thermal mode of the whole AC, it is necessary to have the equation system consisting of the equation for the aircraft as a whole and equations for all onboard elements. Such equation system becomes extremely bulky even for small ACs. Therefore, approximate methods of analysis and calculation are commonly used. The most spread approximate method is consideration of only steady-state thermal processes for various AC operational modes. Final target of this approach is to obtain sufficient quantity of thermal modes points, enough to approximate the whole thermal mode of an aircraft.

Syntagmatic relations in gastronomisms semantics (on the material of Internet culinary sites)

Introduction. The article is devoted to the linguistic semantic characteristics of gastronomisms on the materials of culinary sites on the Internet. In the linguistic picture of the world, one of its most important parts is associated with food and human nutrition as a necessary and essential aspect of life. In the structure of this semantic field, a number of lexico-semantic groups can be distinguished. Among them, a special place is occupied by the names of culinary products, dishes used for food, which constitute the main content of the language of the culinary tradition. It is advisable to designate such names with the term «gastronomisms». The syntagmatic connections within them are of interest, that is, the compatibility of words within complex names of dishes. Purpose. The objective of the paper is to describe and systematize the ways of syntagmatic linking of words in the names of dishes on Internet culinary sites as the basis for their semantic characteristics. Results. The article shows that an important aspect of gastronomisms semantics is the syntagmatic relations in complex names, based on lexical and grammatical meanings of their components. The article identifies three types of compatibility of language units in gastronomisms: 1) by components of meanings; 2) by denotations, which are indicated by language units; 3) by grammatical meanings (syntactic positions). The components of meanings combine generic names of culinary products and names with additional food and non-food meanings, as well as generic names and proper names, which are foreign borrowings, toponyms and anthroponyms. By their denotations, the complex gastronomisms connect, as a rule, the denotative meanings of dishes and their food and non-food properties, dishes and their parts, as well as the ways and methods of their preparation, their purpose and functions. Finally, according to grammatical meanings, one can connect the grammatical subject and its attributes – simple and complex. The special kind of connections is that which contains the detailed subject, which is formed by the generic name of a dish and its proper name. Conclusion. The study gave grounds for the conclusion that an important aspect of the semantics of gastronomisms is syntagmatic relations in complex names based on the lexical and grammatical meanings of their components. Keywords: gastronomisms, culinary sites, semantics, syntagmatic relations, lexical meaning, grammatical meaning, denotation.

Optimisation of sustainable urban recycling waste collection and routing with heterogeneous electric vehicles

Solid waste management faces increasing challenges due to rapid urbanisation and population growth. In addition, the different types of waste sources are scattered in different geographical regions within the city increases the transportation and collection costs, as well as increases emissions. Therefore, a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution can be found to optimise waste collection procedures and transportation operations. This study introduces the electric waste collection problem (EWCP) in which a heterogeneous fleet of electric vehicles has to be assigned to carry out a number of visits to the places where the waste bins are located. This problem is a generalisation of the well-known vehicle routing problem. We consider multiple types of wastes, time windows, multi-compartment, split deliveries, and waste bin-vehicle compatibility. This paper aims to optimise waste collection and transportation operations in a sustainable way. We mathematically formulate the problem as a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model and develop an adaptive variable neighbourhood search (AVNS) to solve the EWCP efficiently. We have generated a new instance set for the problem based on the real-life case study and conducted extensive computational experiments with our extended heuristic. The results indicate that the AVNS is highly effective compared to the MIP model with small-size instances. Our obtained results suggest that using an electric vehicle fleet in waste collection operations will help reduce the total travel costs and harmful gas emissions. • A new electric waste collection problem with multiple types of wastes is addressed. • Constraints such as split deliveries and bin-vehicle compatibility are considered. • An adaptive variable neighbourhood search heuristic is offered to solve the problem efficiently. • Extensive computational experiments are conducted for several insights. • The impact of the fleet mix and traffic congestion are also explored in the study.

Partial electrode method for loss and physical parameter determination of piezoceramics: Simplification, error investigation and applicability

The IEEE standard to determine physical parameters of piezoceramics has been utilized for decades by many researchers, yet it omits presence of important loss factors and possesses serious deficits that restrict accurate parameter determination. To resolve these issues, the partial electrode (PE) method was previously proposed, though the focus has been merely made on development of the method itself. In this study, we provide method simplification and more detailed analysis. The omission of unnecessary samples greatly boosts experiment and analysis process. To prove that the PE method is reliable, possible causes of errors were investigated; it is shown that they were either negligibly small or can be resolved with proper calibration. Furthermore, Applicability of PE method to various types of piezoceramic materials and compatibility with impedance analyzers are shown. Finally, PE method is proved to be reliable and can be alternative to IEEE Standard on Piezoelectricity.

Linguistic analysis of Kazakh and Russian online political commenting tactics

This study aims to determine the parameters of the person-and text-related generation of Russian and Kazakh online political commentaries and reconstruct the virtual linguistic personality. When studying online commentaries, linguistic descriptions, comparative analyses, elements of linguopersonological and derivatological text analysis, and quantitative data processing methods were used. Taking the criteria of the secondary text content, form, and function as a basis for the classification, we identified the text generation parameters within the subjective and objective strategies of textual activity. Subjectivity is manifested through associativity, emotionality, second-guessing, and indicators of objectivity revealed through the keywords and reiteration of content and form. A comparison of Russian and Kazakh commentaries to their source articles made it possible to identify the types of compatibility of tactics in the speech activity of a virtual commenter. As a result, the set of implemented strategies and tactics served as a basis for rhetoric.

Levels and factors of compatibility and efficiency in the management team

The article examines the level and factors of compatibility and efficiency in management teams, reveals the concept of "psychological compatibility", emphasizes that group compatibility is an integral characteristic of a group, which manifests itself in the ability of its members to coordinate actions and optimize relationships in various activities. In addition, compatibility in a team is a set of individual qualities of its members, ensuring the coherence and efficiency of their activities. The levels and types of compatibility, modern diagnostic techniques for studying and measuring interpersonal compatibility are also analysed.
 When developing the problem of compatibility and operation in group activities, the studied mental phenomena cannot be fully disclosed without sufficient knowledge of the mechanisms of individual and group behaviour of interacting people, patterns of stereotypes of behaviour in different situations, habits, attitudes, values, without studying moods, feelings, emotions, psychological climate, motives, interpersonal relationships, individual psychological characteristics, etc. Based on the study of these characteristics and their consideration and should be staffed working groups and teams. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the study of psychological compatibility is truly relevant for the development of socio-psychological knowledge and for practical application in the field of team building.
 The creation of a complete theory of psychological compatibility requires further serious methodological work, improvement of the conceptual apparatus, methods of studying this important socio-psychological phenomenon, integration of existing approaches and generalization of the facts already obtained.

Exploring the Role of Action Consequences in the Handle-Response Compatibility Effect.

Previous research investigating handle-response compatibility effects with graspable objects used different categories of objects as stimuli, regardless of their specific, intrinsic characteristics. The current study explores whether different types of objects’ characteristics may elicit different types of spatial compatibility, that is, handle-response and response-effect compatibility as well as their potential interaction. In Experiment 1, objects having a graspable handle opposite to either a visible functional component (i.e., handle-function objects: a teapot) or a latent functional component (handle-only objects: a pitcher lacking the spout) were presented separately in different blocks. Both the handle and the goal-directed functional components of these objects were located on the horizontal axis. In Experiment 2, handle-only objects had a handle located on the horizontal axis and a latent functional component located on the vertical axis (e.g., a cup). In both experiments, participants were required to judge the material (plastic and metal) the object was made of. Results showed that the handle-response compatibility effect was sensitive to whether the actions consequences of object manipulation took place on the horizontal rather than on the vertical axis.

Smart farming and short food supply chains: Are they compatible?

The challenge of sustainability and the need to secure the production of high-quality, affordable and healthy food, have led to the emergence of alternative food production/distribution schemes that, based on technological or organizational innovation, can increase food production without burdening the environment. Both smart farming and short food supply chains (SFSCs) are considered as promising solutions towards this target. From a theoretical standpoint, the introduction of smart farming technologies into SFSCs could increase the value-generating capacity of short food supply schemes. However, a pivotal question is whether such technologies are compatible with SFSCs. In this study, following a mixed research design, we analyze Greek farmers’ and consumers’ perceptions of the compatibility between smart technologies and SFSCs, and we examine the extent to which compatibility perception affects willingness to engage in “smart SFSCs.” Quantitative results revealed that perceived (in)compatibility is central in predicting this willingness for both farmers and consumers. The qualitative strand of the study uncovered the existence of two different types of compatibility. Actual compatibility refers to the consistency of smart technologies with the technological advancement of farms and the real everyday needs of farmers. Symbolic compatibility relates to the meanings attributed to both SFSCs and smart technologies by farmers and consumers. In sum, the results indicated that smart technologies are viewed as tools that can lead to a conventionalization of SFSCs, thus altering their optimally distinct nature. Policies targeted at the promotion of smart farming should go beyond traditional views of smart technologies as tools that increase farm efficiency, by paying more attention to their compatibility with different “agricultures” and to the ways they can transform farming systems.

A Bi-Objective Constrained Robust Gate Assignment Problem: Formulation, Instances and Algorithm.

The gate assignment problem (GAP) aims at assigning gates to aircraft considering operational efficiency of airport and satisfaction of passengers. Unlike the existing works, we model the GAP as a bi-objective constrained optimization problem. The total walking distance of passengers and the total robust cost of the gate assignment are the two objectives to be optimized, while satisfying the constraints regarding the limited number of flights assigned to apron, as well as three types of compatibility. A set of real instances is then constructed based on the data obtained from the Baiyun airport (CAN) in Guangzhou, China. A two-phase large neighborhood search (2PLNS) is proposed, which accommodates a greedy and stochastic strategy (GSS) for the large neighborhood search; both to speed up its convergence and to avoid local optima. The empirical analysis and results on both the synthetic instances and the constructed real-world instances show a better performance for the proposed 2PLNS as compared to many state-of-the-art algorithms in literature. An efficient way of choosing the tradeoff from a large number of nondominated solutions is also discussed in this article.

Морфологический метод комбинаторного синтеза магистрально-модульных систем на основе многоаспектных моделей

This article presents morphological method of combinatorial synthesis of bus-modular systems developed by the authors, which can be used in automation systems for aggregating electronic means and telecommunication systems. Original results obtained by the authors in the field of mathematical formulation of the synthesis problem of bus-modular systems are presented. It is shown that existing mathematical models cannot be used to effectively solve the synthesis problem of this class of systems. Original multi-aspect models of bus-modular systems are proposed that take into account the different types of compatibility of the modules from which the system is synthesized. The results of the development of complex and qualimetric models of bus-modular systems, as well as original algorithms for automatic generating of objective function according to given technical-economic requirements and algorithms for automatic filtering and ranking of the morphological set of modules are presented.

The action congruency effect on the feelings of agency.

Previous studies suggest that the sense of agency (SoA), the feeling of control about one's own actions and ensuing effects is also generated during action selection processes. We investigate whether the conflict at the action selection stage induced by a supraliminal stimulus, modulates an implicit measure of SoA, namely intentional binding. Furthermore, we were interested to investigate the influence of different types of stimulus-response compatibility on SoA. To this aim we compared the influence of an automatic imitation task and a stroop-like task on intentional binding. In both tasks participants performed congruent and incongruent fingers movements (key release) in response to an external stimulus. Their movements caused an effect and participants estimated the time between their action and the ensuing effect. We found a reduced intentional binding effect in incongruent compared to congruent conditions in both tasks. The results are discussed within the theoretical framework of the fluency of action.

What Java developers know about compatibility, and why this matters

Real-world programs are neither monolithic nor static--they are constructed using platform and third party libraries, and both programs and libraries continuously evolve in response to change pressure. In case of the Java language, rules defined in the Java Language and Java Virtual Machine Specifications define when library evolution is safe. These rules distinguish between three types of compatibility--binary, source and behavioural. We claim that some of these rules are counter intuitive and not well-understood by many developers. We present the results of a survey where we quizzed developers about their understanding of the various types of compatibility. 414 developers responded to our survey. We find that while most programmers are familiar with the rules of source compatibility, they generally lack knowledge about the rules of binary and behavioural compatibility. This can be problematic when organisations switch from integration builds to technologies that require dynamic linking, such as OSGi. We have assessed the gravity of the problem by studying how often linkage-related problems are referenced in issue tracking systems, and find that they are common.

The impact of sexual compatibility on sexual and relationship satisfaction in a sample of young adult heterosexual couples

The associations between sexual compatibility and sexual and relationship satisfaction were examined in a sample of 133 college-age heterosexual couples. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between two types of sexual compatibility (actual sexual compatibility and perceived sexual compatibility) and sexual and relationship satisfaction. Age, length of relationship, and satisfaction were included as covariates in the hierarchical regression analyses. Couple difference scores from four subscales of the Sexual Excitation/Sexual Inhibition Inventory used to measure actual sexual compatibility, and women's and men's Hurlbert's Index of Sexual Compatibility scores measuring perceived sexual compatibility were included as predictors of sexual satisfaction and relationship satisfaction in the analyses. The strongest predictor of sexual satisfaction, after accounting for relationship satisfaction, was perceived sexual compatibility. Similarly, the strongest predictor of relationship satisfaction, after accounting for sexual satisfaction, was perceived sexual compatibility. The final models predicting sexual satisfaction accounted for 66% of the variance in the women's model and 75% of the variance in the men's model. The final models predicting relationship satisfaction accounted for 20% of the variance in the women's model and 27% of the variance in the men's model. Perception of sexual compatibility may be more important to couple satisfaction than actual sexual compatibility of specific sexual acts.

Enhancement of buckling capacity of steel plates strengthened with GFRP plates

The current study assesses the enhancement in the buckling capacity of steel plates through bonding glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) plates. Despite their low modulus of elasticity, GFRP plates are relatively thick and, therefore, can be efficient in magnifying the buckling capacity of the retrofitted steel plates. In this application, a heavy duty adhesive system that was tested in a previous experimental programme is employed to bond the steel and the GFRP plates. The current study is conducted numerically using a nonlinear shell element model to simulate the steel and GFRP plates and a special contact element to simulate the flexibility of the adhesive medium. The failure modes in the adhesive and the GFRP plates, based on real strength values, as well as the instability of the entire system are considered. A buckling magnification factor relating the capacity of the retrofitted system to the capacity of the corresponding bare steel plate is evaluated. The study considers two types of boundary conditions as well as two types of in-plane compatibility between the steel and GFRP plates. The effect of geometric imperfection is also studied. Both elastic and inelastic stability analyses are considered in this investigation.

Liking the Same Things, but Doing Things Differently: Outcome Versus Strategic Compatibility in Partner Preferences for Joint Tasks

We propose a distinction between two types of interpersonal compatibility in determining partner preferences for joint tasks: outcome compatibility and strategic compatibility. We argue that these two types of compatibility correspond to preferences for similar and complementary task partners, respectively. Five studies support this distinction. A pilot study demonstrates that established scales for measuring attitudes and values (variables associated with similarity effects) capture more information about desired outcomes, whereas established scales for measuring dominance (the variable most widely associated with complementarity effects) capture more information about desired strategies. Studies 1a and 1b demonstrate that framing the same variable as either an outcome variable or a strategic variable can predict partner preference (i.e., similar or complementary). Finally, Studies 2a and 2b address why complementarity may offer a strategic advantage over similarity in task pursuit: complementarity allows two individuals with contrasting strategic preferences to “divide and conquer” tasks that require multiple strategies.

Compatibility with Firm Dominance

This paper considers the effect of compatibility decisions on consumers and welfare in a setting where the platforms are asymmetric and consumers have to decide both which platform to join and which applications to buy that run on these platforms. The paper shows that imposing a higher degree of application compatibility, when applications are close substitutes, may lower social welfare. Application compatibility is compared with platform compatibility and the results indicate that the two types of compatibility have opposite implications for how firms and consumers are affected by compatibility. Finally, it is shown that a policy of application compatibility that increases static efficiency can have adverse effects on dynamic efficiency.

Survival in Markets with Network Effects: Product Compatibility and Order-of-Entry Effects

This article proposes a new conceptual framework in which the impact of network effects (NE) on a pioneer's survival advantage compared with its early followers can be positive or negative depending on two important but previously ignored market characteristics: (1) cross-generation product compatibility and (2) within-generation product compatibility. The authors empirically test the theoretical predictions using data from 45 NE markets. They show that these two types of compatibility affect the pioneer's survival advantage in opposite directions and that such directions are reversed when NE changes from extremely strong to extremely weak. Specifically, in markets with strong NE, cross-generation incompatibility harms but within-generation incompatibility favors the pioneer's survival advantage. Consequently, pioneers are likely to enjoy a survival advantage when their product is cross-generation compatible but within-generation incompatible. However, in markets with weak NE, pioneer survival advantage is likely to occur under opposite conditions (i.e., cross-generation incompatible but within-generation compatible). The policy analysis further suggests that the best survival condition for pioneers often turns out to be the worst for followers in these markets.
