The time-fractional (2+1)-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chain equation: its Lie symmetries, exact solutions and conservation laws
Authors: Yu Jicheng , Feng Yuqiang 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this paper, the Lie symmetry analysis method is applied to the (2+1)-dimensional time-fractional Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chain equation. We obtain all the Lie symmetries admitted by the governing equation and reduce the corresponding (2+1)-dimensional fractional partial differential equations with the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative to (1+1)-dimensional counterparts with the Erdélyi–Kober fractional derivative. Then, we obtain the power series solutions of the reduced equations, prove their convergence and analyze their dynamic behavior graphically. In addition, the conservation laws for all the obtained Lie symmetries are constructed using the new conservation theorem and the generalization of Noether operators.

Abstract
Recent JET D–T campaigns opened the possibility of unique isotope studies to investigate the L–H transition physics in view of reactor plasmas and to study the origin of the observed power threshold minimum. In the present paper, we characterise L–H transitions in the low and high-density branches of JET NBI-heated D–T plasmas. As discussed in the paper, L–H transition has been hypothesised to be determined by the transport power losses of plasma ions, i.e. the so-called ion heat flux (Q
i). We present the first power balance analysis of JET NBI-heated D–T plasmas to evaluate the ion heat flux at the transition. Due to the experimental setting being similar to previous JET D experiments, we also directly compare the results, discussing the isotope effect and similarities between datasets. First, we find an isotope effect between D and D–T Q
i, with a lower Q
i in D–T plasmas. We confirm that the ion heat flux deviates from density linearity compared to the linear trend observed in wave-heated D plasmas of other tokamaks. The deviation we observe in NBI-heated L–H transitions happens at an isotope-dependent density. Plasma edge rotation correlates with Q
i deviation from density linearity in the low-density branch. However, further investigations would be required to assess the role of rotation on Q
i and the power threshold minimum at JET. At low plasma density, NBI power dominates Q
i, while increasing the density makes the equipartition power dominant. We finally compare our results with hypotheses proposed from evidence in other tokamaks to present a complete overview of ion heat flux analyses in D and D–T NBI-heated plasmas at JET.

Abstract
Thiol-norbornene photoclick hydrogels are highly efficient in tissue engineering applications due to their fast gelation, cytocompatibility, and tunability. In this work, we utilized the advantageous features of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-thiol-ene resins to enable fabrication of complex and heterogeneous tissue scaffolds using 3D bioprinting and in-air drop encapsulation techniques. We demonstrated that photoclickable PEG-thiol-ene resins could be tuned by varying the ratio of PEG-dithiol to PEG norbornene to generate a wide range of mechanical stiffness (0.5–12 kPa) and swelling ratios. Importantly, all formulations maintained a constant, rapid gelation time (<0.5 s). We used this resin in biological projection microstereolithography (BioPµSL) to print complex structures with geometric fidelity and demonstrated biocompatibility by printing cell-laden microgrids. Moreover, the rapid gelling kinetics of this resin permitted high-throughput fabrication of tunable, cell-laden microgels in air using a biological in-air drop encapsulation apparatus (BioIDEA). We demonstrated that these microgels could support cell viability and be assembled into a gradient structure. This PEG-thiol-ene resin, along with BioPµSL and BioIDEA technology, will allow rapid fabrication of complex and heterogeneous tissues that mimic native tissues with cellular and mechanical gradients. The engineered tissue scaffolds with a controlled microscale porosity could be utilized in applications including gradient tissue engineering, biosensing, and in vitro tissue models.
General expressions for Stevens and Racah operator equivalents
Authors: Duros O , Juhin A , Elnaggar H , Chiuzbăian G S , Brouder C 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Several definitions of the crystal-field (CF) Hamiltonian have been used over time and their variety has lead to many misunderstandings, in both theoretical and experimental literature. Two categories of definitions can be mentioned, the first being in terms of the operator equivalents introduced by Stevens in 1952 and the second being in terms of Racah’s spherical tensors, introduced by different authors from 1962. This paper aims at providing some clarification in this field. We first introduce various forms of the CF Hamiltonian. Then, we introduce several explicit ways to compute Racah spherical tensors, in terms of angular momentum quantum numbers j and m as well as in terms of J
2 and Jz
operators. We eventually give some connections between the parameters used to expand the CF Hamiltonian on Stevens operator equivalents and on spherical tensors. Lastly, we make usage of the coefficients of fractional parentage for the expression of the CF Hamiltonian on spherical tensors for the many-body states. Various computational codes, using different CF conventions, are also reviewed.

Authors: Moreira Pedro Gabriel , Martins Rodrigo , Carlos Emanuel , Branquinho Rita 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Even though printed metal oxide thin film transistors (TFTs) have been a central topic of research in the past decade, the most notable results still require scarce elements such as gallium and indium, or high annealing temperatures (⩾400 °C) when using sustainable raw materials such as zinc and tin. In this work, safe, abundant and inexpensive materials such as zinc, tin and aluminum are explored to reach low-cost thin films and devices with both the semiconductor and dielectric layers deposited by inkjet printing and annealed at lower temperatures (300 °C). Alumina (AlO
x
) and zinc tin oxide (ZTO) inks containing a theoretical optimal V% of ethylene glycol were optimized for production of uniform and reproducible AlO
x
/ZTO thin film layers. Common ink parameters (such as the reverse Ohnesorge, capillary, Webber and Reynolds numbers) were evaluated and compared with relevant literature on inkjet drop formation mechanisms. Inks within theoretical optimal parameter values were printing optimized in terms of drops per inch, number of layers, UV substrate surface activation, print speed, and post- annealing. A high-quality dielectric of two alumina layers was printed, having a breakdown field above 2.93 ± 0.33 MV cm−1, and a dielectric constant of 7.74 ± 0.73 at 1 kHz. TFTs of inkjet printed (IJP) ZTO/AlO
x
layers were produced with a maximum I
On/I
Off ratio of 103 and a saturation mobility of 2.2 cm2 V−1 s−1. This approach not only advances the field of printed electronics but also addresses concerns related to material scarcity, thermal budget, and production costs.
Multi-target quantum compilation algorithm

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Quantum compilation is the process of converting a target unitary operation into a trainable unitary represented by a quantum circuit. It has a wide range of applications, including gate optimization, quantum-assisted compiling, quantum state preparation, and quantum dynamic simulation. Traditional quantum compilation usually optimizes circuits for a single target. However, many quantum systems require simultaneous optimization of multiple targets, such as thermal state preparation, time-dependent dynamic simulation, and others. To address this, we develop a multi-target quantum compilation algorithm to improve the performance and flexibility of simulating multiple quantum systems. Our benchmarks and case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm, highlighting the importance of multi-target optimization in advancing quantum computing. This work lays the groundwork for further development and evaluation of multi-target quantum compilation algorithms.
Multimodal neural network-based predictive modeling of nanoparticle properties from pure compounds
Authors: Polat Can , Kurban Mustafa , Kurban Hasan 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Simulating complex and large materials is a challenging task that requires extensive domain knowledge and computational expertise. This study introduces Pure2DopeNet, an innovative multimodal neural network that tackles these challenges by integrating image and text data to accurately predict the physical properties of doped compounds, specifically Carbon (C)-doped TiO2 and Sulfur (S)-doped ZnO nanoparticles. The model achieves quantum mechanical level accuracy, comparable to density functional tight binding (DFTB), across various doping levels, demonstrating its capability to determine the properties from a single simulation of the pure compound. Pure2DopeNet outperforms traditional deep learning architectures such as ResNet, ViT, and CoAtNet, delivering superior accuracy, faster performance, and reduced dependence on domain expertise. This approach highlights the potential of multimodal machine learning to revolutionize materials science by making high-fidelity simulations more accessible and efficient, opening paving the way for material discovery and the exploration of novel properties.
Foundations of Experiential Therapy
Authors: Laser Julie Anne , Nicotera Nicole 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Chapter 2 discusses the philosophical and research foundations of Experiential Therapy. Experiential Therapy has evolved from the tenets of Dewey and experiential learning, the theoretical underpinnings of ecological theory and human ecology, the theory and research on the benefits of being in nature for humans, and the research on being in nature with a trained clinician. The authors discuss why they use the term Experiential Therapy, as opposed to wilderness therapy, due to wilderness therapy’s sometimes punitive, unregulated, non-trauma-informed, and non-therapeutic tendencies. They further explain why they use the term Experiential Therapy whether they are inside or outside with clients.

Abstract
Chapter 7, “Structuring Experiential Therapy Interventions,” discusses the details of how to organize Experiential Therapy activities. A 10-step outline for Experiential Therapy is presented to support one’s thinking and planning for the Experiential Therapy activity with clients. The 10 steps are: (1) name of activity; (2) time duration; (3) purpose/objective; (4) age/gender/cultural considerations; (5) equipment/materials needed; (6) risk assessment; (7) framing questions; (8) directions for activity; (9) clinical segues and questions; (10) for whom would this activity be appropriate, and for whom would it not be appropriate? Scaling activities to increase insights over time for clients, decrease effects of trauma, and increase resilience are shared. Three Experiential Therapy activities in sequential scaling are provided.
Manilius and the Aesthetics of the Infinite
Authors: Glauthier Patrick 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
For Manilius, the ultimate mode of natural inquiry is poetic astronomy/astrology, a pursuit grounded in mathematics and able to reveal the divine. This exhilaratingly endless adventure embodies the sublime: the ecstatic accumulation of dissonant data, such as the survey of the Milky Way’s causes, and the never-ending calculation of dizzying sums, especially those of the horoscope, create an impression of the infinite expanse of the universe, and to experience infinity is to experience god. And yet, Manilius represents celestial inquiry as a risky undertaking that violates boundaries and ends in spectacular falls; Phaethon is one figure who models this kind of student of the stars. Significantly, Manilius’s vision of the scientific sublime is thoroughly implicated in Augustan culture, which maximizes the potential of astrological symbolism. For his part, Manilius maps the cosmic sphere and the territory of the Roman Empire onto one another, thereby equating celestial inquiry with imperial expansion; both are limitless and infinitely thrilling.
Introduction
Authors: Kvanvig Jonathan L 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
There are two common responses to skepticism, the epistemological claim that knowledge is at least non-existent and perhaps also unachievable, and both are to be avoided. So I argue here. The first response is to succumb to it, trying then to find some adequate basis for life that foregoes presumptions of knowledge. The second response is dismissive, viewing it as an overwrought, hyperbolic response to human limitations, so wrongheaded that nothing beyond a laconic response is needed before returning to important philosophical tasks. This chapter will contend that the first response is much too often premature, and the second response is much too often cavalier.
Fiction on the Page in Nineteenth-Century Magazines
Authors: Damkjær Maria 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
What makes fiction recognizable as fiction? Texts are shaped by their material print, but this book argues that they can also be made in response to it: that the needs of the magazine in the nineteenth century spurred writers to create hybrid, entangled texts. Using book history, genre theory, and literary close reading, this book argues that narrative fiction in the nineteenth-century popular periodical was a malleable substance. By looking at typography, and the attempts to squeeze in too much text, or stretch out too little text, the book asks what the relationship was between the page that needed filling and the short story that tried to fill it. In the messy hybrids and outliers, we explore what fiction might have become. The book works with magazines like the Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine (first series, 1852–9), the Family Herald (1842–1945), the Home Circle (1849–54), and authors like Elizabeth Gaskell, George Augustus Sala, and Samuel Beeton. It also includes a chapter on Charles Dickens’s arguably least successful venture, Master Humphrey’s Clock (1840–1), where Dickens was noticeably straining to sell and fill a weekly magazine. While the book is not attempting to destabilize the status of canonical fiction, it does ask how the page makes fiction happen; what kind of readers magazines imagined for themselves; and what readers thought they were reading when they picked up an issue. The book argues that magazines projected a print imaginary, a symbolic realm where the magazine fits perfectly into the lives of happy, active readers.
The Influence of Commonly-Encountered Participant Behaviors on Cardiovascular Indices During Testing
Authors: McLaurin Natalie N , Alhalimi Taha , Ramos Andrea , Trevino George , Tanaka Hirofumi 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

BACKGROUND
During laboratory testing, participants rest quietly in a supine posture with little movement. However, it is rather common for participants to display various behaviors. The extent to which these common encounters influence cardiovascular measures is unknown.

METHODS
Fifty-five adults (36 ± 15 years) were studied during the following seven randomized conditions in the supine position: (i) quiet stationary rest (control), (ii) while drowsy, (iii) while and (iv) after talking to investigators, (v) while and (vi) after cell phone use for texting, and (vii) lying on the side.

RESULTS
Heart rate was greater when the participants were talking to investigators (+4 bpm) and texting on cell phones (+5 mm Hg) compared with quiet rest. Systolic blood pressure (BP) increased by 4 mm Hg and diastolic BP by 3 mm Hg while talking to investigators. Systolic BP was 6 mm Hg and diastolic BP was 5 mm Hg lower in the “side lying” position compared with quiet rest. In the side-lying condition, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) was not able to be measured in 38% (n = 16) of the participants while brachial-ankle PWV was not affected. Brachial-ankle PWV was greater while (+65 cm/s) and after (+29 cm/s) the participants were talking to investigators whereas carotid-femoral PWV was not able to be measured during talking. The drowsy behavior did not influence any of the BP and PWV measures.

CONCLUSIONS
Talking during the testing period significantly increases all the cardiovascular measures but cell phone use prior to the measures does not appear to influence them.
Design and synthesis of star-shaped non-fullerene acceptors based on triarylamine core for organic photovoltaic applications
Authors: Fu Hongyu , Ogino Kenji 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Non-fullerene acceptors were synthesized with triphenylamine (TPA) and 9-phenylcarbazole core functionalized with oxindole moiety, as well as electron accepting groups such as cyano and trifluoromethyl groups, leading to precisely tuned molecular electronic structures and intermolecular arrangements. This approach maintained high thermal stability and excellent electron mobility while optimizing optoelectronic properties, providing a novel strategy for developing organic photovoltaic materials. LUMO levels of three receptors were comparable to PC61BM. The decomposition temperatures of all three acceptors exceeded 380 °C under N2 flow, indicating the exceptional thermal stability. Notably, the acceptor consisting of TPA core with three oxindole moieties exhibited the red-shifted and intense UV-vis absorption spectrum and the narrowest optical bandgap (Egopt = 2.14 eV). Furthermore, the higher electron mobility was observed in this compound compared to analogues with 9-phenylcarbozle unit. The power conversion efficiency of the device based on TPA core acceptor and regio-regular poly(3-hexylthiophene) surpassed those of the devices based on the other two acceptors.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination requires treating people who use drugs (PWUD), yet &lt;10% of PWUD in the United States access HCV treatment; access is especially limited in rural communities.

Methods
We randomized PWUD with HCV viremia and past 90-day injection drug or nonprescribed opioid use in 7 rural Oregon counties to peer-assisted telemedicine HCV treatment (TeleHCV) versus peer-assisted referral to local providers (enhanced usual care [EUC]). Peers supported screening and pretreatment laboratory evaluation for all participants and facilitated telemedicine visits, medication delivery, and adherence for TeleHCV participants. Generalized linear models estimated group differences in HCV viral clearance (primary outcome) and HCV treatment initiation and completion (secondary outcomes).

Results
Of the 203 randomized participants (100 TeleHCV, 103 EUC), most were male (62%), White (88%), with recent houselessness (70%), and used methamphetamines (88%) or fentanyl/heroin (58%) in the past 30 days. Eighty-five of 100 TeleHCV participants (85%) initiated treatment versus 13 of 103 (12%) EUC participants (relative risk [RR], 6.7 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 4.0–11.3]; P &lt; .001). Sixty-three of 100 (63%) TeleHCV participants versus 16 of 103 (16%) EUC participants achieved viral clearance 12 weeks after anticipated treatment completion date (RR, 4.1 [95% CI: 2.5–6.5]; P &lt; .001).

Conclusions
The Peer TeleHCV treatment model substantially increased HCV treatment initiation and viral clearance compared to EUC. Replication in other rural and low-resource settings could further World Health Organization HCV elimination goals by expanding and decentralizing treatment access for PWUD.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES
The study aimed to review a multicentre experience of patients undergoing surgical intervention for infective endocarditis caused by Cutibacterium acnes and to analyse the diagnostic challenges and operative results.

METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed 8812 patients undergoing cardiac surgery for endocarditis at 12 cardiac surgical departments across Germany. The overall population was divided based on the type of endocarditis (i.e. native and prosthetic valve endocarditis). Primary outcomes were in-hospital mortality, 1- and 5-year survival.

RESULTS
Cutibacterium acnes caused endocarditis in 269 patients (3.1%). Median age was 65 years (54–72 years) and 237 (88.1%) were male. We observed significantly higher rates of native valve endocarditis in patients aged 21–40, whereas prosthetic valve endocarditis was more frequent in all other age groups (P &lt; 0.001). The median EuroSCORE II of the cohort was 10.7 (5.0–29.6), with it being significantly higher in the prosthetic valve endocarditis group (P &lt; 0.001). Blood culture-negative infective endocarditis was initially reported in 54.3% of the patients. The in-hospital mortality was comparable between the groups (P = 0.340). Survival at 1 and 5 years was significantly higher in the native valve endocarditis group (P &lt; 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS
Cutibacterium acnes causes native valve endocarditis, especially in younger patients. The incidence of endocarditis caused by C.acnes is alarming and is at par with well-known endocarditis pathogens such as the HACEK group. The pathogen has a low virulence and presents with a rather indolent course. The diagnosis of C.acnes endocarditis is challenging and requires a multimodal specialized approach. Surgical treatment is associated with acceptable outcomes.
