  • Galaxy clusters as the densest and most prominent regions within the large-scale structure can be used as well characterizable laboratories to study astrophysical processes on the largest scales. X-ray observations provide currently the best way to determine the physical properties of galaxy clusters and the environmental parameters that describe them as laboratories. We illustrate this use of galaxy clusters and the precision of our understanding of them as laboratory environments with several examples. Their application to determine the matter composition of the Universe shows good agreement with results from other methods and is therefore a good test of our understanding. We test the reliability of mass measurements and illustrate the use of X-ray diagnostics to study the dynamical state of clusters. We discuss further studies on turbulence in the cluster ICM, the interaction of central AGN with the radiatively cooling plasma in cluster cooling cores and the lessons learned from the ICM enrichment by heavy elements.

  • The fundamental conception in physics of the propagation of the electromagnetic wave polarization in matter is newly understood as the cardinal keyword in free-space quantum communication technology and cosmology in astrophysics. Interactive visualization of the propagation mechanism of polarized electromagnetism in a medium with its helicity has accordingly received attention from scientists exploiting the protocol of quantum key distribution (QKD) to guarantee unconditional security in cryptography communication. We have provided a dynamic polarization platform for presenting the polarization modes of a transverse electromagnetic wave, converting the state of polarization through the arrangement of optical elements, using Jones vectors calculations in Methematica. The platform graphically simulates the mechanism of production and propagation of the polarized waves in a medium while satisfying Maxwell's equations.

  • The recently-developed automated vessels require a system which evaluates the operating conditions of the ship at present position from weather information as well as sensors ; forecasting the operations condition in the state to come in foreseeable future ; and suggests the optimum course and speed for ship's safety. According to a study, deck wetness, propeller racing, slamming. rolling, vertical acceleration, lateral acceleration, vertical bending moment at midship etc. were chosen as the factors for evaluating seakeeping performance. As a matter of act, there is no developing the hardware of a system which could consider all the factors on seakeeping performance. This study introduces a theoretical method which makes it possible to evaluate the seakeeping performance by applying a theory from reliability engineering, and thereby establishing a safety space. The author adopts rolling and pitching as the factors on seakeeping performance by clarifying the correlation of stochastic processes the factors presently adopted for evaluation system in consideration of the safety of human being, cargoes and the ship. This method of evaluation shall be of much use in developing the practical system of seakeeping performance of a ship in waves.

  • The mathematical models of the Switched Reluctance machine system integrating the state equation of the phase current with the two dimensions finite element model of the machine are advanced, no matter what the topologies of the main circuit of the power converter and the control strategies are adopted in the system. Based on the mathematical models, the comparison of the simulated and the tested results of a three-phase Switched Reluctance motor drive prototype system are given. The simulated results of the prototype tally with the tested results of the prototype. It is shown that the mathematical models have the advantage in high precision.

  • This essay examines Jacques Callot's Les Grandes Mis$\grave{e}$res et Malheurs de la Guerre (1633) as a moral meditation on war as catastrophe. It also uses Callot's Miseries to reflect on the nature of catastrophe as such, particularly as "An event producing a subversion of the order or system of things." As such, catastrophe refers less to nature or the natural gone awry, than it does to the abnegation or suspension of moral aspects of human nature. More than a reflection on war as catastrophe, and catastrophe as fundamentally moral, Callot's Miseries are a timeless meditation on aspects of the human condition; or on human beings in what amounts to state of nature-as evidenced in times of disaster. Such reflection, again, does not by itself imply that all war-even when catastrophic-is unnecessary, let alone necessarily unjust. But it does suggest that artistic engagement with war understood as catastrophic, may yield insights into human nature that are as important to human self-understanding as those represented in artistic subject matter that is more quotidian.

  • The study of two-dimensional electron systems with extraordinarily low levels of disorder was, for a long time, the exclusive privilege of the epitaxial thin film research community. However, the successful isolation of graphene by mechanical exfoliation has truly disrupted this field. Furthermore, the assembly of heterostructures consisting of several layers of different 2D materials in arbitrary order by exploiting van der Waals forces has been a game-changer in the field of low-dimensional physics. This technique can be generalized to the large class of strictly 2D materials and offers unprecedented parameters to play with in order to tune electronic and other properties. It has led to a paradigm shift in the field of 2D condensed matter physics with bright prospects. In this review article, we discuss three device fabrication techniques towards high mobility devices: suspended structures, dry transfer, and pick-up transfer methods. We also address state-of-the-art device structures, which are fabricated by the van der Waals pick-up transfer method. Finally, we briefly introduce correlated ground states in the fractional quantum Hall regime.

  • Vibratory conveyors are widely used in industry to transport granular materials and products. A theoretical point mass model for vibratory conveying was studied. The results agreed well with experimental observations. The model theory included the resting, sliding and flight states of the material. Each state was considered separately when determining the equations of motion. For the coefficients of restitution, values of zero for the normal component and 0.8 for the tangential component were found to be appropriate for modeling the collisions of the granular particles with the conveying surface. The vibration angle had a large influence on the mode and rate of transport. There was an optimum vibration angle for a given set of conditions. The optimum vibration angle decreased and was better defined as the coefficient of friction increased. The results suggest the existence of an optimum dimensionless track acceleration (throw number), which does not support general industrial practice in which the track acceleration is limited when the feed cycle becomes erratic and unstable.

  • Over the past decade, the exploration of high-temperature superconductivity and the discovery of a wide range of exotic superconducting states in Fe-based materials have propelled condensed matter physics research to new frontiers. These materials exhibit intriguing phenomena arising from their multiband electronic structure, strongly orbital-dependent effects, extremely small Fermi energy, electronic nematicity, and topological aspects. Among the various factors influencing their superconducting properties, high magnetic fields play a crucial role as a control knob capable of disrupting the subtle balance between the spin, charge, lattice, and orbital degrees of freedom, leading to the emergence of various exotic superconducting states. In this review, we provide an overview of the current understanding of the exotic superconducting states observed in Fe-based superconductors, with a particular focus on FeSe and Sr2VO3FeAs, under the influence of high magnetic fields.

  • Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) is an acute encephalopathy, usually characterized by seizures, visual disorder, mental change and reversible posterior white and gray matter lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Conditions commonly associated with RPLS include acute renal failure, eclampsia, hypertension, immunosuppresion state, and use of intravenous immunoglobulin or chemotherapy, and additional contributing factors. We report the case of RPLS associated with cyclosporine use in lupus nephritis. In this case, it was not clearly elucidated which was main cause of RPLS. We could think RPLS developed maybe due to combined effect of cyclosporine and lupus nephritis.
