Linear power corrections to single top production and decay at the LHC in the narrow width approximation
Authors: Makarov Sergei , Melnikov Kirill , Nason Paolo , Ozcelik Melih A. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
We consider top quark production and decay in the narrow width approximation and study if the polarisation effects, that manifest themselves in correlations of angular distributions of particles from top quark decays and final state jets in the production sub-process, are affected by linear power corrections. We find that, in general, the answer to this question is affirmative. We also discuss how these non-perturbative corrections affect polarisation observables used to study single top production at the LHC. Finally, we point out that generic kinematic distributions of leptons from top quark decays are affected by linear power corrections, which may have implications for proposals to extract the top quark mass from such leptonic observables. On the other hand, we demonstrate that the distribution of the “out-of-collision-plane” component of the positron momentum is free from linear power corrections, making it an interesting candidate for the top quark mass measurement.
Hidden Symmetries of Generalised Gravitational Instantons
Authors: Araneda Bernardo 
Published: November 2024

AbstractFor conformally Kähler Riemannian four-manifolds with a Killing field, we present a framework to solve the field equations for generalised gravitational instantons corresponding to conformal self-duality and to cosmological Einstein–Maxwell. After deriving generic identities for the curvature of such manifolds without assuming field equations, we obtain $$SU(\infty )$$

Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate image quality and lesion conspicuity of zero echo time (ZTE) MRI reconstructed with deep learning (DL)-based algorithm versus conventional reconstruction and to assess DL ZTE performance against CT for bone loss measurements in shoulder instability.

Methods
Forty-four patients (9 females; 33.5 ± 15.65 years) with symptomatic anterior glenohumeral instability and no previous shoulder surgery underwent ZTE MRI and CT on the same day. ZTE images were reconstructed with conventional and DL methods and post-processed for CT-like contrast. Two musculoskeletal radiologists, blinded to the reconstruction method, independently evaluated 20 randomized MR ZTE datasets with and without DL-enhancement for perceived signal-to-noise ratio, resolution, and lesion conspicuity at humerus and glenoid using a 4-point Likert scale. Inter-reader reliability was assessed using weighted Cohen’s kappa (K). An ordinal logistic regression model analyzed Likert scores, with the reconstruction method (DL-enhanced vs. conventional) as the predictor. Glenoid track (GT) and Hill-Sachs interval (HSI) measurements were performed by another radiologist on both DL ZTE and CT datasets. Intermodal agreement was assessed through intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland–Altman analysis.

Results
DL ZTE MR bone images scored higher than conventional ZTE across all items, with significantly improved perceived resolution (odds ratio (OR) = 7.67, p = 0.01) and glenoid lesion conspicuity (OR = 25.12, p = 0.01), with substantial inter-rater agreement (K = 0.61 (0.38–0.83) to 0.77 (0.58–0.95)). Inter-modality assessment showed almost perfect agreement between DL ZTE MR and CT for all bone measurements (overall ICC = 0.99 (0.97–0.99)), with mean differences of 0.08 (− 0.80 to 0.96) mm for GT and − 0.07 (− 1.24 to 1.10) mm for HSI.

Conclusion
DL-based reconstruction enhances ZTE MRI quality for glenohumeral assessment, offering osseous evaluation and quantification equivalent to gold-standard CT, potentially simplifying preoperative workflow, and reducing CT radiation exposure.
Note on Polychromatic Coloring of Hereditary Hypergraph Families
Authors: Pálvölgyi Dömötör 
Published: November 2024

AbstractWe exhibit a 5-uniform hypergraph that has no polychromatic 3-coloring, but all its restricted subhypergraphs with edges of size at least 3 are 2-colorable. This disproves a bold conjecture of Keszegh and the author, and can be considered as the first step to understand polychromatic colorings of hereditary hypergraph families better since the seminal work of Berge. We also show that our method cannot give hypergraphs of arbitrary high uniformity, and mention some connections to panchromatic colorings.
A Comparison of two Maps of the Human Neocortex: the multimodal MRI-based parcellation of Glasser et al. (2016a), and the myeloarchitectonic parcellation of Nieuwenhuys and Broere (2023), as a first step toward a unified, canonical map
Authors: Nieuwenhuys Rudolf , Glasser Matthew F. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe first, introductory part of this paper presents an overview of the long quest for a universal map of the human cortex, useful as a standard reference for all remaining studies on this brain part. It is pointed out that such a map does still not exist, but that systematic comparison of some recently produced 3D maps may well be conducive toward this important goal. Hence, the second part of this article is devoted to a detailed comparison of two of such maps, the multimodal MRI-based parcellation of Glasser et al. (Nature 536:171–178, 2016) and the myeloarchitectonic parcellation presented by Nieuwenhuys and Broere (Brain Struct Funct 228:1549–1559, 2023), with the specific aim to detect areal concordances between these two maps. In the search for these concordances, the following three criteria were used: (1) the relative or topological position of the various areas, (2) the relation of the areas to particular invariant sulci, and (3) the overall myelin content of the areas. In total 61 concordances were detected, most of which were located in the frontal and parietal lobes. These concordances were recorded in standard views of the two maps compared (Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8), as well as in Table 1. We consider these findings as a first step towards the creation of a unified, consensus (canonical) parcellation of the human neocortex.

Abstract
Context
Advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) systems currently represent the most advanced modality of insulin therapy.

Aim
To compare the night-time (from 00 to 07 a.m.) effectiveness in achieving recommended glycemic targets of three different AHCL systems in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Methods
We retrospectively evaluated 55 adults with T1D (mean age 41 ± 16 years, male 40%, diabetes duration 19.4 ± 11.4 years, BMI 24.1 ± 4.1 kg/m2) with similar glycemic control (GMI 7.0–7.4%). Twenty-two participants were using the Minimed 780G system, 18 the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ system and 15 the DBLG1 system.
Continuous glucose monitoring derived metrics and insulin requirement of 14 consecutive nights were analyzed.

Results
All three groups achieved the recommended mean TIR > 70%, mean TBR < 4%, and mean CV < 36% with a similar insulin requirement (Minimed 780G system: TIR 73.9 ± 11.2%, TBR 0.9 ± 1.2%, CV 29 ± 6.7%; Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ system: TIR 74.1 ± 11.1%, TBR 1.1 ± 1.0%, CV 34.5 ± 6.6%; DBLG1 System TIR 71.7 ± 11.3%, TBR 1.4 ± 3.7%, CV 32.4 ± 7.1%). Tight TIR% (70–140 mg/dl) was significantly higher (p < 0.01) in the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ group (51.5 ± 9.8%) when compared to Minimed 780G group (42.1 ± 13.7%) and DBLG1 System (40.1 ± 10.5%). In all three groups the insulin infusion similarly decreased from midnight to 05.00 am and then increased.

Conclusions
All the three AHCL systems achieved the recommended TIR, TBR and CV without difference in insulin requirement. The Tandem Control-IQ system obtained a higher tight TIR.

Die wasserrechtliche Ersatzvornahme als Mittel des Verwaltungszwangs
Authors: Elsner Henri J. 
Published: November 2024

ZusammenfassungMit der Regelung des §40 IV WHG kennt das Wasserrecht eine bundesrechtlich vorgezeichnete Möglichkeit
der Ersatzvornahme. Sie betrifft den Fall, dass der Träger der Gewässerunterhaltungslast seinen
öffentlich-rechtlichen Verpflichtungen – namentlich der Pflege und Entwicklung oberirdischer
Gewässer – nicht nachkommt. Dabei handelt es sich um ein in der Literatur und Rechtsprechung
bislang weitgehend unerschlossenes Terrain. Dies mag gerade vor dem Hintergrund, dass es um die Durchsetzung
von Pflichtigkeiten in einem praxisrelevanten Bereich geht, verwundern. Die schlank gehaltene Vorschrift
wirft in ihrer praktischen Anwendung insbesondere hinsichtlich ihrer formellen Voraussetzungen eine Reihe
von Fragen auf, mit denen sich die Referenten Herr Dr. Anton Meyer und Herr Dr. Rasso Ludwig LL.M. in
einer jüngeren verwaltungsgerichtlichen Entscheidung konfrontiert sahen. Die in diesem Zuge gewonnen
dogmatischen Erkenntnisse legten sie im Rahmen ihres Vortrages dar.

Abstract
The Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS) is oligotrophic, presenting low biological production and high temperature and salinity, while comprising a biodiversity hotspot, with a unique emblematic threatened species array, including sea turtles. The establishment of healthy captive green turtle (Chelonia mydas) baseline blood analyte reference intervals (RIs) will contribute to improving diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and conservation success rates for sea turtles, by offering information with therapeutic and prognostic implications. However, baseline plasma chemistry and hematological analytes of EMS C. mydas are still unavailable. Hence, this study aimed to establish RIs for several blood analytes in general and under different life and rehabilitation stages and compare results with congeneric and conspecifics of other regions: Mediterranean loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) and two Atlantic green turtle populations. The study engulfed 118 blood samples obtained from 72 turtles admitted to the Israel Sea Turtle Rescue Centre between 2008 and 2020. Blood analyses included plasma chemistry and packed cell volume (PCV), and their association with body size and health status, and enabled suggesting RIs for PCV, plasma glucose and potassium concentrations, and aspartate transaminase and alkaline phosphatase activities. The PCV were significantly associated with rehabilitation. Noted differences arising via population comparison are likely associated with interspecific dietary and metabolic traits. These novel physiological results form the basis for future studies, and provide caregivers a tool potentially increasing the success of recovery, rehabilitation and conservation efforts. Further research is warranted to fill knowledge gaps concerning physiology and potential ecological impacts on this species.
Recognition and completeness metrics from iNaturalist and GBIF can inform future citizen science and research projects: a case study on arthropods in Namibia
Authors: Alfeus Martha , Irish John , Birkhofer Klaus 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Arthropods are the most diverse animal phylum and play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning through their contributions to ecosystem processes. Accurate knowledge about their distribution and diversity is essential for effective ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation. Public biodiversity databases and citizen science records could contribute to our understanding of arthropod diversity. To test this assumption, we extracted arthropod observations in Namibia from iNaturalist (iNat) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and compared these data to the records in the Namibian Biodiversity Database (NBD). We assessed the proportion of observations identified to species level in each arthropod order in iNat and GBIF (“recognition” metric) and compared the number of species from the two biodiversity networks (iNat and GBIF) to the known species richness in each arthropod order in NBD (“completeness” metric). Only 54.4% of iNat and 63.1% of GBIF arthropod observations in Namibia are recorded at species level. Scorpions (Scorpiones) and dragonflies (Odonata) are the most recognised orders in both GBIF and iNat, with high completeness rates (> 60%). However, overall recognition and completeness for all arthropod orders were generally below 50% in both databases. The high recognition and completeness for certain orders could be attributed to species traits that make them recognizable (e.g. large body size, colouration), a low species richness and the taxonomic familiarity of the public. While global biodiversity networks provide valuable data, regional or national databases like NBD remain essential for comprehensive biodiversity understanding. Global biodiversity networks provide insights into public perception and the suitability of taxonomic groups for citizen-involved biodiversity projects.
How MFTs of Color Develop Their Multicultural Counseling Competencies
Authors: Holmes Jessica , Glass Valerie 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe training programs in marriage and family therapy have received criticism for providing multicultural counseling to diverse populations from White and Western perspectives. Training programs provide less focus on the training needs around cultural competency and cultural humility for students of color. This research study is a phenomenological approach to understand the experiences of students of color in their MFT training programs and during their early clinical experiences, as they developed their multicultural counseling competencies. After interviewing eight participants about their lived experience, data was analyzed via a thematic analysis and resulted in identifying three themes. (1) There are specific multicultural counseling skills that participants frequently use (2) Learning in a White environment means learning without adequate representation, without diverse content and research, and without discussions focusing on diversity. (3) MFT programs need to incorporate a more diverse training approach including increased diversity in its faculty, literature, and general content.
Effects of teacher-developed spherical video-based virtual reality types on student learning engagement: A hierarchical linear modeling approach
Authors: Wu Shu-Hao , Jong Morris Siu-Yung , Tsai Chin-Chung 
Published: November 2024

AbstractSpherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) offers teachers an accessible means to use virtual reality. However, research into the effects of learning materials in teacher-developed SVVR activities on student learning remains limited. This study recruited 33 elementary school teachers and the 841 students in their classes. This study classified teacher-developed SVVR into "enhanced type" (N = 18) and "fundamental type" (N = 15), based on the number of enhanced exposition contents and thematic integration assessments embedded in the SVVR activities. This study also examined its effect on the students’ perceived effects of active learning (AL), repetition (REP), and feedback (FB), and learning engagement (i.e., cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social engagement). Nested relationships between teachers and students were observed using hierarchical linear modeling analysis. This study revealed that (1) enhanced-type SVVR activities are positively associated with learning engagement; (2) AL and FB are positively associated with student engagement; (3) REP is the only factor that is positively associated with emotional engagement; and (4) AL and SVVR exert a cross-level interaction effect on emotional engagement, wherein enhanced-type SVVR activities yield greater emotional engagement among lower AL students. While prior research highlighted SVVR’s impact on student learning, the present work has unfolded the importance of how SVVR delivers information and facilitates students' knowledge organization in the course of learning, consequently impacting students’ learning outcomes. The results of this research are of theoretical and practical significance for both researchers and practitioners working on designing, implementing and evaluating SVVR for educational purposes.
Exploring the extensive movements and home range of one of North America’s most mobile fish: the freshwater drum (Aplodinotus grunniens)

Published: November 2024

AbstractFreshwater drum Aplodinotus grunniens are a unique and ubiquitous freshwater species of the family Sciaenidae. Despite the species’ wide distribution and unique biogeography, life history, and behavior, surprisingly little is known about freshwater drum movement ecology. In this study, we use passive acoustic telemetry tags and a broad-scale gridded receiver array to track the interannual and seasonal movement of freshwater drum tagged in tributaries of the North and South Basins of Lake Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada). First, tagged freshwater drum had lower survival in the south basin where higher fishing pressure is thought to be a cause of mortality. We found that freshwater drum in Lake Winnipeg are remarkably mobile, with mean monthly movement rates among the highest on record for any freshwater fish. In the spring, fish entered rivers prior to spawning. A few weeks later, most individuals moved into lake habitat where they made extensive lateral movements. Home range and hotspot analysis revealed seasonal and population-specific patterns of occupancy, with elevated densities in lake habitat during the ice-on period and dispersed distributions during open water. Both populations remained almost exclusively in their respective rivers and basins. Homing and site fidelity were apparent, with nearly all fish returning to their original tagging river during each successive spawning season. The results bolster the existing information on freshwater drum movement ecology and may help enhance conservation and management strategies, particularly toward addressing commercial bycatch.
Stress boundary layers for the Phan-Thien–Tanner fluid at the static contact line in extrudate swell
Authors: Evans Jonathan D. , Evans Morgan L. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to examine the behaviour of the Phan-Thien–Tanner (PTT) fluid in the neighbourhood of the contact line singularity in extrudate swell. The solution structure for this shear-thinning viscoelastic fluid model has solvent stresses that dominate the polymer stresses, but requires stress boundary layers to fully resolve the solution at the die wall and free surface. The sizes and mechanism of the boundary layers at the two surfaces are different. We derive and present a similarity solution for the boundary layer at the die wall and an exact solution for the boundary layer at the free surface. An expression for the local behaviour of the free surface is also derived. The results for the boundary layers completes the preliminary asymptotic results for the PTT model presented in previous work.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Invasive species have been drivers of biodiversity loss and functional changes in aquatic ecosystems, including in protected areas. Therefore, monitoring population invasion dynamics and biological traits is fundamental to better understand their ecological and economic impacts and for management actions development. We followed signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) invasion in Rabaçal River upper reach at Montesinho Natural Park, Portugal. We collected information on the spread and biological traits (abundance, size, weight, physical condition, sex ratio, and aggressiveness) to assess differences between invasion core and front areas and among years. Signal crayfish population remained restricted since first reports in 2013 in the invasion core until 2017. After 2019, signal crayfish population has been spreading downstream, decreasing abundance at invasion core but increasing at invasion front. Significant higher number of crayfish with claw loss indicate potential higher signs of aggressiveness in the invasion front. Results also demonstrate a significant dominance of females although sex ratio is closer to 1:1 at the invasion front. Overall, results indicate signal crayfish is spreading and increasing their abundance at Rabaçal River highlighting the need for immediate management actions to hold dispersion and mitigate possible impacts.
Effects of moss encroachment on reproduction of the large heathland bush-crickets Ephippiger diurnus and Gampsocleis glabra

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Low-productive open landscapes, once prevalent in Western Europe, have significantly declined due to land reclamation and afforestation. Despite protection under the European Union Habitats Directive, remaining heathlands face degradation from various factors, including nitrogen deposition, climate change, and altered land use. Using laboratory and field experiments we examined the habitat requirements and causes of decline for two large heathland bush-crickets, Ephippiger diurnus Dufour, 1841 and Gampsocleis glabra (Herbst,1786), focusing on the availability of bare mineral soil for egg-deposition. Our study revealed a strong preference for bare sand over moss-covered soil for oviposition for both species. Eggs deposited in bare sand showed higher survival rates, better development, and increased hatching success compared to those in moss-covered soil. The decline of these bush-cricket species is linked to the reduction of bare soil due to moss encroachment, exacerbated by nitrogen deposition. Implications for insect conservation: Our results show that loss of bare soil patches is an important bottleneck in the life cycle of large heathland bush-crickets. Conservation efforts therefore must prioritize maintaining bare soil patches through anthropogenic disturbances and reducing nitrogen deposition to support bush-cricket reproduction and sustain their populations in Northwestern Europe.
