Context Animal feed production systems have been suffering from a shortage of feedstuffs because of competition for these resources with human food consumption. The use of by-products can increase efficiency and circularity in production chains, reducing this competition. Aims This study investigated the impacts of Paullinia cupana peel meal (PCPM) on the growth performance, meat quality, and haematological and serum biochemical parameters of slow-growing broilers. Methods Two hundred and forty slow-growing male Label Rouge broilers were distributed in a completely randomised experimental design. The treatments consisted of five inclusion levels of PCPM (0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, and 10%) in the diets, with four replicates of 12 birds each. Growth performance data, and haematological and serum biochemical parameters were monitored. Twelve broilers per treatment were slaughtered for meat-quality analysis. Key results In the starter stage, there was a significant increase (P < 0.05) in feed intake and weight gain with and increasing inclusion level of PCPM in the diet. However, this effect diminished in the final stage. Even with a reduction (P < 0.05) in feed intake during the final stage, the broilers showed an increase (P < 0.05) in weight gain and improvement (P < 0.05) in feed efficiency in the cumulative performance. Broilers fed diet with a higher inclusion level of PCPM had lower (P < 0.05) concentrations of erythrocytes and blood triglycerides, as well as a decreased haematocrit percentage. However, these broilers exhibited higher (P < 0.05) results for mean corpuscular haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration. Broilers fed diets with a higher inclusion level of PCPM were heavier (P < 0.05) at slaughter, with higher (P < 0.05) carcass yield, greater (P < 0.05) liver, gizzard, and heart weight, increased breast, drumstick, and thigh yields, and higher moisture and lipid contents in the breast. Conclusions The high inclusion levels of PCPM in diets for slow-growing broilers positively affect growth performance, meat quality, and yields of valuable cuts, although they increase moisture and decrease protein in breast meat, affecting some blood parameters. Implications This study showed the potential advantages of using PCPM as an alternative food in diets for slow-growing broilers to improve the productivity and health of a sustainable livestock.
Future constructions in English and Norwegian
Authors: Hartmann Stefan , Mikkelsen Olaf 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The choice between the future constructions will/shall and BE going to is among
the most well-investigated topics in English linguistics. A host of semantic, pragmatic, and syntactic factors has been suggested
to drive the alternation between these constructions. Recent research has taken a contrastive perspective and investigated whether
similar factors also apply to Norwegian, which shows a very similar alternation (skal/vil vs. kommer til
å). This paper follows up on this line of research, taking new data into account. Drawing on the Open American
National Corpus (OANC) and the Spoken BNC2014 for English on the one hand and the NoTa corpus as well as the Big Brother corpus
for Norwegian, we carve out commonalities and differences between the alternation patterns in English and Norwegian, and we argue
that in both languages, it may actually be semantic, rather than structural, aspects that play the most crucial role in language
users’ choice between competing future constructions.
Definiteness matters as a discourse cue in L1 and L2 processing of relative clauses
Authors: Solaimani Ehsan , Marefat Hamideh 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This study explores how syntactic and discourse-based parsing principles direct English relative clause attachment preferences. Forty-nine highly advanced L1-Persian L2-English and thirty-six English native speakers completed a self-paced reading task involving temporarily ambiguous relative clauses that were semantically associated with either the first or the second noun phrase (NP) in a complex NP (NP1–of–NP2) (The resident called the nurse
NP1 of the patient
NP2 who was injecting penicillin/coughing severely). We manipulated the definiteness of the antecedent (a/the nurse & a/the patient) to examine the extent to which a discourse-based definiteness principle — which motivates attachment to a definite NP — impacts attachment preferences. The results showed no L1/L2 differences, and both groups preferred an NP2 interpretation in relative clauses with a definite antecedent but no strong preference in relative clauses with an indefinite antecedent. The findings highlight the significance of definiteness and cast doubt on the hypothesis that L1 and L2 processing are fundamentally different.
The role of logical reasoning, belief-content and the type of inference in belief revision
Authors: Özdemir Barış , Özdemir Begüm 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Prior research shows mixed findings regarding individuals’ belief-revision strategies. The current research is aimed to test (a) whether individuals’ reasoning across abstract vs real-world content shows similarity, and (b) whether individuals’ syllogistic reasoning predicts their belief-revision strategies. Experiment 1, testing 76 participants (50 females), provides evidence for the similarity in reasoning across abstract and real-world content (p < .05). In Experiment 2, testing 84 participants (58 females), we find no significant effect of reasoning performance on belief-revision strategies (p > .05). Individuals seem to revise the conditional statement in the AC and DA inferences, especially when the content poses a threat. In contrast, individuals prefer to revise the categorical premise in the MT inferences, especially when the content poses a threat. These findings suggest that in the face of inconsistency individuals’ decision about which of their prior beliefs they should revise is influenced by the structure and content of the belief-contravening problem rather than their reasoning ability.
Discrete modulation continuous variable quantum key distribution under fast fading channel
Authors: Li Jinyi , Zhou Jian , Feng Yanyan , Shi Ronghua , Shi Jinjing 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
After decades of development, continuous variable quantum key distribution technology still cannot meet people’s needs for secure communication over long distances. Free-space quantum communication provides a new way for secure communication over long distances. However, because the communication connected in free space is inevitably affected by atmospheric turbulence, the transmission rate of the channel changes rapidly according to the probability distribution, making it difficult for the communication personnel to determine the transmission rate of the channel. At the same time, discrete modulated continuously variable quantum key Distribution protocol (DM-CVQKD) has certain advantages over Gauss modulated continuously variable quantum key Distribution protocol (GM-CVQKD) in the communication distance. Therefore, this paper analyzes the key rate of DM-CVQKD in this case (that is, in the fast attenuation channel), proves that it can resist the collective attack, and observes the relationship between the parameters and the key rate in the fast attenuation channel by numerical simulation and control variables. Finally, through the analysis of numerical simulation results, it is found that DM-CVQKD can still maintain a high key rate under certain conditions, which proves that long-distance free space quantum communication is feasible under certain conditions. At the same time, it was found that the performance of DM-CVQKD was affected by the extreme case where Eve completely controlled the instantaneous transmittance.
Optimum flow rate of actively deformable particles in the overdamped regime
Authors: Wiebke Lucas E , Textor Johannes , Parisi Daniel R 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In this study, we investigate the behavior of actively deformable particles in a two-dimensional system as they flow through a narrow constriction under overdamped conditions. The model simulates particles that oscillate by harmonically changing their radius over time, with dynamics and interaction forces reflecting general cellular systems. We identify an optimal self-oscillation frequency at which the flow rate is maximized, occurring when the oscillation period matches the time needed for a particle to traverse a few of its own radii. While the model is a highly simplified abstraction and not intended to replicate the complexity of biological systems, it offers valuable insights into the mechanisms that may underlie efficient movement in crowded cellular contexts.
Radial electric field driven by vertical neutral beamlet injection under future fusion reactor conditions
Authors: Xu Xingyuan , Xu Yingfeng , Zhang Xiaodong , Xiao Xiaotao 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The fast ions and electrons generated by neutral beam injection (NBI) can induce charge separation, resulting in radial electric fields. Employing beamlet injection of small cross-section may effectively generate radial electric field, and adjusting beamlet parameters allows active control over their distribution. A new NBI injection geometry system has been developed in the NEOE code to explore the potential for vertical beamlets injection in future fusion reactor scenarios. Both high-field side and low-field side beamlet vertical injections can establish radial electric fields. In scenarios dominated by collision effects, the direction of the radial electric field is influenced by the toroidal angle of the beamlet. Adjusting the poloidal angle can alter the location of the electric field shear. Injecting particles into the trapped region using broader banana orbits can establish electric fields within the plasma core. Alternatively, injecting particles into the passing region can yield higher electric fields. Under future reactor conditions, conservative estimates of the electric field shear may even surpass critical velocities, potentially contributing to instability suppression.
On the stabilizer formalism and its generalization
Authors: Descamps Éloi , Dakić Borivoje 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The standard stabilizer formalism provides a setting to show that quantum computations restricted to operations within the Clifford group are classically efficiently simulable: this is the content of the well-known Gottesman–Knill theorem. This work analyzes the mathematical structure behind this theorem to find possible generalizations and derivation of constraints required for constructing a non-trivial generalized Clifford group. We prove that if the closure of the stabilizing set is dense in the set of SU(d) transformations, then the associated Clifford group is trivial, consisting only of local gates and permutations of subsystems. This result demonstrates the close relationship between the density of the stabilizing set and the simplicity of the corresponding Clifford group. We apply the analysis to investigate stabilization with binary observables for qubits and find that the formalism is equivalent to the standard stabilization for a low number of qubits. Based on the observed patterns, we conjecture that a large class of generalized stabilizer states are equivalent to the standard ones. Our results provide better insights into the structure of Gottesman–Knill-type results, consequently allowing us to draw a sharper line between quantum and classical computation.
Spectral fluctuations of multiparametric complex matrix ensembles: evidence of a single parameter dependence
Authors: Ansari Mohd Gayas , Shukla Pragya 
Published: October 2024

AbstractWe numerically analyse the spectral statistics of the multiparametric Gaussian ensembles of complex matrices with zero mean and variances with different decay routes away from the diagonals. As the latter mimics different degree of effective sparsity among the matrix elements, such ensembles can serve as good models for a wide range of phase transitions e.g. localization to delocalization in non-Hermitian systems or Hermitian to non-Hermitian one. Our analysis reveals a rich behaviour hidden beneath the spectral statistics e.g. a crossover of the spectral statistics from Poisson to Ginibre universality class with changing variances for finite matrix size, an abrupt transition for infinite matrix size and the role of complexity parameter, a single functional of all system parameters, as a criteria to determine critical point. We also confirm the theoretical predictions in Ansari and Shukla (2024J. Phys. A: Math. Theor.57095005) and Shukla (2001Phys. Rev. Lett.87194102), regarding the universality of the spectral statistics in non-equilibrium regime of non-Hermitian systems characterized by the complexity parameter.
Interfacial characterization of spinning water film along a concave wall
Authors: Javadi Ardalan , Alexeev Alexander 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Thin liquid film flowing down the inner concave surface of a vertical cylindrical vessel is examined. At the top of the vessel, the water is injected horizontally at high speed circumferentially along the vessel wall and flows downwards due to the action of gravity. This turbulent film flow is modeled using the large eddy simulation (LES) and Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) approaches combined with the volume-of-fluid method. The results of both methods are validated with direct numerical simulation. The Favre-filtered two-phase LES, which is implemented and studied in this paper, can reasonably predict the film thickness similarly to that of the RANS approach using the elliptic blending Reynolds stress model, although it requires fine resolution in the wall region. The effect of volume flow rate on the film structure and thickness is investigated. The film thickness is shown to be nearly constant when the wall is partially wetted and changes as the cubic root of the volume flow rate when the spinning film encloses the entire circumference of the vessel.
Power and sample size calculations for testing the ratio of reproductive values in phylogenetic samples
Authors: D’Agostino McGowan Lucy , Wohl Shirlee , Lessler Justin 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The quality of the inferences we make from pathogen sequence data is determined by the number and composition of pathogen sequences that make up the sample used to drive that inference. However, there remains limited guidance on how to best structure and power studies when the end goal is phylogenetic inference. One question that we can attempt to answer with molecular data is whether some people are more likely to transmit a pathogen than others. Here we present an estimator to quantify differential transmission, as measured by the ratio of reproductive numbers between people with different characteristics, using transmission pairs linked by molecular data, along with a sample size calculation for this estimator. We also provide extensions to our method to correct for imperfect identification of transmission linked pairs, overdispersion in the transmission process, and group imbalance. We validate this method via simulation and provide tools to implement it in an R package, phylosamp.
Abdominal applications of photon-counting CT
Authors: Khanungwanitkul Khanin , Sliwicka Olga , Schwartz Fides Regina 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) has shown promising advancements in clinical abdominal imaging. Though more peer-reviewed primary literature is needed, this commentary explores PCCT’s potential applications, focusing on enhancing diagnostic accuracy, optimizing radiation dose management, and improving patient care. PCCT offers improved spatial and contrast resolution, lower image noise, and reduced radiation dose. Increased spatial resolution provides better detail in abdominal imaging, aiding in the detection of small lesions and subtle pathological changes. However, this generates more images per scan, raising concerns about “image overload” in picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), potentially leading to longer reading times and increased stress for radiologists. PCCT’s improved contrast resolution enhances tissue differentiation, which provides several advantages, such as non-invasive and opportunistic liver disease evaluation and improved differentiation of renal and adrenal masses. PCCT’s optimized radiation dose management is crucial for patients requiring frequent scans. Enhanced diagnostic accuracy through spectral information aids in tissue differentiation, improving confidence in diagnoses. Streamlined workflows, particularly in emergency settings, and oncologic imaging, are potential benefits, reducing the need for additional imaging studies. Future integration of PCCT into clinical practice requires collaboration, education, and research to fully harness its potential, ensuring optimized abdominal imaging and improved patient care.
Comprehensive review of post-treatment imaging in head and neck cancers: from expected to unexpected and beyond

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Head and neck cancer management requires multidisciplinary approach in which radical surgery with or without flap reconstructions and neck dissection, along with radiotherapy (RT)/chemoradiotherapy (CRT) serve as the key components. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy are used in selected cases based on the institutional preference. Knowledge of expected post-treatment changes on imaging is essential to differentiate it from recurrence. In addition, awareness of various post-treatment complications is imperative for their early detection on imaging. Distorted anatomy after treatment poses diagnostic challenge, hence, proper choice of imaging modality and appropriate timing of scan is pertinent for accurate post-treatment evaluation. In this article, we have comprehensively reviewed expected post-treatment appearances and complications on imaging. We have discussed imaging appearances of recurrences at the primary and lymphnodal sites and discussed documentation of findings using Neck Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (NI-RADS). We have also delved into the patterns of recurrence in human papillomavirus (HPV) positive HNSCC. Furthermore, we have provided flowcharts and discussed recommendations on the site-specific and treatment-related imaging modalities to be used along with their appropriate timing, for adequate evaluation of HNSCC after treatment. In addition, we have also touched upon the role of advanced imaging techniques for post-treatment HNSCC evaluation.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
We present the radiological findings in the case of a failed unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Although uncommon, these features are highly specific for implant failure and are an indication to consider revision. The aim of this case report is to highlight these characteristic appearances across multiple imaging modalities to both surgeons and radiologists should they encounter this in their practise.

Abstract
It remains unclear how variation in the intensity of sperm competition shapes phenotypic and molecular evolution across clades. Mice and rats in the subfamily Murinae are a rapid radiation exhibiting incredible diversity in sperm morphology and production. We combined phenotypic and genomic data to perform phylogenetic comparisons of male reproductive traits and genes across 78 murine species. We identified several shifts towards smaller relative testes mass (RTM), presumably reflecting reduced sperm competition. Several sperm traits were associated with RTM, suggesting that mating system evolution selects for convergent suites of traits related to sperm competitive ability. We predicted that sperm competition would also drive more rapid molecular divergence in species with large testes. Contrary to this, we found that many spermatogenesis genes evolved more rapidly in species with smaller RTM due to relaxed purifying selection. While some reproductive genes evolved rapidly under recurrent positive selection, relaxed selection played a greater role in underlying rapid evolution in small testes species. Our work demonstrates that postcopulatory sexual selection can impose strong purifying selection shaping the evolution of male reproduction and that broad patterns of molecular evolution may help identify genes that contribute to male fertility.
Metabarcoding reveals ecologically distinct fungal assemblages in river and groundwater along an Austrian alpine to lowland gradient

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Biodiversity, the source of origin, and ecological roles of fungi in groundwater are to this day a largely neglected field in fungal and freshwater ecology. We used DNA-based Illumina high-throughput sequence analysis of both fungal gene markers 5.8S and internal transcribed spacers region 2 (ITS2), improving taxonomic classification. This study focused on the groundwater and river mycobiome along an altitudinal and longitudinal transect of a pre-alpine valley in Austria in two seasons. Using Bayesian network modeling approaches, we identified patterns in fungal community assemblages that were mostly shaped by differences in landscape (climatic, topological, and geological) and environmental conditions. While river fungi were comparatively more diverse, unique fungal assemblages could be recovered from groundwater, including typical aquatic lineages such as Rozellomycota and Olpidiomycota. The most specious assemblages in groundwater were not linked to the input of organic material from the surface, and as such, seem to be sustained by characteristic groundwater conditions. Based on what is known from closely related fungi, our results suggest that the present fungal communities potentially contribute to mineral weathering, carbon cycling, and denitrification in groundwater. Furthermore, we were able to observe the effects of varying land cover due to agricultural practices on fungal biodiversity in groundwater ecosystems. This study contributes to improving our understanding of fungi in the subsurface aquatic biogeosphere.
