Relativistic scalar fields canonical quantization in Einstein–Yang–Mills–Higgs’s rotating black hole space-time
Authors: Senjaya David 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe quantum theory of relativistic mechanics to deal with the scalar fields behavior in a curved space-time is represented by the Klein–Gordon equation. In this work, we will investigate the gravitationally bound states of massive and massless scalar fields around a Einstein–Yang–Mills–Higgs’s rotating black hole. After applying the standard separation of variables ansatz, we will show in detail how to obtain the novel exact solutions of the radial part of the governing Klein–Gordon equation and express the radial solution in terms of the Confluent Heun functions. By applying the bound state boundary conditions, the Confluent Heun functions are reduced to be polynomials that lead to energy quantization. We find that the scalar fields have complex-valued energy levels that indicate the decaying/growing bound states known as quasibound states. In the end, using the exact radial solution, we derive the radiation distribution function of the black hole’s outer horizon to obtain the equation of the Hawking temperature.
On black bounce space-times in non-linear electrodynamics

Published: July 2024

AbstractOne of the main issues in gravitation is the presence of singularities in the most common space-time solutions of General Relativity, as the case of black holes. A way of constructing regular solutions that remove spacelike singularities consists in implement a bounce on such space-time, leading to what is usually known as black bounce space-times. Such space-times are known to describe regular black holes or traversable wormholes. However, one of the main issues lies on reconstructing the appropriate source that leads to such a solution. In this paper, a reconstruction method is implemented to show that such types of metrics can be well accommodated in non-linear electrodynamics with the presence of a scalar field. Some of the most important black bounces solutions are reconstructed in this framework, both in 3 + 1 as in 2 + 1 dimensions. For the first time in the literature, these solutions have an electrically charged source of matter from non-linear electrodynamics. Specific features are indicated that distinguish electric sources from magnetic ones, previously found for the same space-times.
Nematodynamics with odd and rotational viscosities
Authors: Pismen L. M. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractWe explore a novel mechanism of interactions between nematic order and flow including odd and rotational viscosities, and investigate activity-induced instabilities in the framework of this model. We show how these modes of viscous dissipation can be incorporated in the Ericksen–Leslie formalism, but it does not eliminate deficiencies of the approach based on Onsager’s reciprocal relations that lead to spurious instabilities. The suggested way of deriving nematodynamic equations, based on a specific mechanism applicable to rigid rods, is not universal, but it avoids referring to Onsager’s relations and avoids spurious instabilities in the absence of an active inputs. The model is further applied to the analysis of instabilities in active media

Published: July 2024

This paper aims to assess the power dissipation of a threshold quantizer (TIQ) 2-bit-based comparator using a SWS-FET-based inverter [ 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 ]. Unlike conventional comparators, SWS-based comparator functionalized with TIQ comprises two or more vertically stacked quantum dots or well channels [ 1 – 3 , 5 , 6 ]. Herein, power dissipation analysis of the simulated circuit is carried out using Cadence by integrating the Berkeley Short-Channel IGFET Model (BSIM) and the analog behavioral model (ABM) [ 1 , 3 , 4 , 9 ]. The transient behavior of the inverter circuit is evaluated using 180[Formula: see text]nm technology node. Our results demonstrated a significant reduction in power dissipation which overcome the limitation of previous 4-state logic implementations.
A Generalized Beddington Host–Parasitoid Model with an Arbitrary Parasitism Escape Function

Published: July 2024

This research delves into the generalized Beddington host–parasitoid model, which includes an arbitrary parasitism escape function. Our analysis reveals three types of equilibria: extinction, boundary, and interior. Upon examining the parameters, we discover that the first two equilibria can be globally asymptotically stable. The boundary equilibrium undergoes period-doubling bifurcation with a stable two-cycle and a transcritical bifurcation, creating a threshold for parasitoids to invade. Furthermore, we determine the interior equilibrium’s local stability and analytically demonstrate the period-doubling and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations. We also prove the permanence of the system within a specific parameter space. The numerical simulations we conduct reveal a diverse range of dynamics for the system. Our research extends the results in [ Kapçak et al. , 2013 ] and applies to a broad class of the generalized Beddington host–parasitoid model.

Published: July 2024

Chalcopyrite ZnSiP2 has emerged as a promising anode material for next generation Li-ion-based batteries due to its high theoretical capacity. First principles multiple-dopant effect computations were made on the structural, electronic, magnetic, and thermodynamic responses for chalcopyrite ZnSiP2(1−x)Sbx, ZnSiP2(1−x)Bix, Zn(1−x)BaxSiP2, and Zn1−xBaxSiP2(1−x)Sbx, using both the norm conserving, ultra-soft pseudopotentials with generalized gradient approximation (GGA+PBE) and the main frame of density functional theory. Lattice coefficient volume, bulk modulus, formation energy, and total energy of host materials were computed and compared with experimental and theoretical results. Energy band gap for the pure chalcopyrite ZnSiP2 system (1.4 eV) matches previous data and validates the accuracy of current calculations as doping concentration (x = 0.6, 0.9, and 0.12) of (Sb, Bi, and Ba) at Zn and P sites increases. The corresponding band gap decreases, resulting in greater enhancement in electronic conductivity. Finally, the phonon dispersion relation, phonon density of states, vibration frequencies of phonon, Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, entropy effect, and Debye temperature (θ
D) were estimated to confirm the thermodynamic stability of both pure and doped systems. These investigations are predicted to contribute a deeper sympathy of the doping effects on ZnSiP2, facilitating further advancements in anode materials design for Li-ion batteries.
Gingival Recession in Primary Maxillary Incisors due to Fingernail Scratching: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Maalem Dalal , Hammouti Jalila , Ramdi Hind 
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Self‐inflicted gingival injuries typically occur in patients with psychological disorders and rarely in normal individuals. This article is aimed at reporting an unusual case of gingival recession caused by a fingernail‐scratching habit.Case Report: A 5‐year‐old female patient presented to the Pediatric Dentistry Department at the Ibn Sina Center for Consultation and Dental Treatment in Rabat, Morocco, with complaints of gingival recession localized in her four maxillary primary incisors. After a detailed medical and personal history and clinical examination, the diagnosis of self‐inflicted gingival injury was established. The treatment plan included oral hygiene instructions, the application of analgesic and antiseptic gel, and behavioral management. Regular follow‐ups over a period of 16 months were crucial for monitoring the patient’s progress, which eventually led to the cessation of the habit with no recurrence.Discussion: Self‐inflicted oral injuries in pediatric patients pose diagnostic challenges. The development of such habits in psychologically normal children is difficult to explain, suggesting the need for a comprehensive approach. Managing self‐inflicted injuries is complex and requires a personalized strategy that may include psychotherapy, family support, and regular monitoring.Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of taking a comprehensive history and adopting a multidisciplinary approach to diagnose and manage self‐inflicted gingival injury, achieving positive outcomes.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND:
Diagnosis of primary aldosteronism (PA) is complicated by the need to withdraw antihypertensive medications that interfere with test results, particularly renin. This study examined whether machine learning-based steroid-probability scores offer a renin measurement-independent approach for testing less prone to interference than the aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR).

METHODS:
This prospective multicenter cohort study involved the use of plasma steroidomics and the ARR in 839 patients tested for PA, including 190 with and 578 without PA (71 indeterminate). Receiver operating characteristic curves for steroid-probability scores and the ARR were examined with and without interfering medications. Impacts of individual medications on plasma aldosterone, 18-oxocortisol, 18-hydroxycortisol, steroid-probability scores, renin, and ARRs were examined by multivariable and paired analyses in patients with and without PA.

RESULTS:
Receiver operating characteristic curves indicated a significant impact of interfering antihypertensive medications on the diagnostic performance of the ARR and minimal impact on steroid-probability scores. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists increased plasma aldosterone, 18-oxocortisol, and 18-hydroxycortisol in patients without PA and resulted in false-positive test results for steroid-probability scores and false-negative results for the ARR. Diuretics increased aldosterone, 18-oxocortisol, and steroid-probability scores in patients without PA, whereas angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors decreased aldosterone, steroid-probability scores, and ARRs. Beta-adrenoceptor blockers, dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, and angiotensin receptor blockers had negligible impact on mineralocorticoids and steroid-probability scores.

CONCLUSIONS:
Among antihypertensive drugs that impact plasma aldosterone, 18-oxocortisol, and 18-hydroxycortisol, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists stood out as a cause of false-positive results for derived steroid-probability scores. Other antihypertensives have minimal or no impact, an advantage for use of steroid-probability scores over the ARR when those medications cannot be withdrawn.

Rare Sequence Variation Underlying Suspected Familial Cerebral Small‐Vessel Disease
Authors: Cho Bernard P. H. , Auckland Kate , Gräf Stefan , Markus Hugh S. 
Published: July 2024

Background
Cerebral small‐vessel disease (cSVD) is the leading monogenic cause of stroke. Despite genetic screening in routine diagnosis, many cases remain without a known causative variant. Using a cohort with suspected familial cSVD and whole‐genome sequencing, we screened for variants in genes associated with monogenic cSVD and searched for novel variants associated with the disease.

Methods and Results

Rare variants were identified in whole‐genome sequencing data from the NBR (National Institute for Health Research BioResource Rare Disease) study. Pathogenic variants in known monogenic cSVD genes were identified. Gene‐based burden tests and family analysis were performed to identify novel variants associated with familial cSVD. A total of 257 suspected cSVD cases (mean ± SD age, 56.2 ± 16.1 years), and 13 086 controls with other nonstroke diseases (5874 [44.9%] men) were studied. A total of 8.9% of the cases carried a variant in known cSVD genes. Excluding these known causes, 23.6% of unrelated subjects with cSVD carried predicted deleterious variants in the Genomics England gene panel, but no association was found with cSVD in burden tests. We identified potential associations with cSVD in noncoding genes, including
RP4‐568F9.3
(adjusted
P
= 7.1 × 10
−25
),
RP3‐466I7.1
(adjusted
P
= 8.9 × 10
−16
), and
ZNF209P
(adjusted
P
= 1.0 × 10
−15
), and matrisomal genes (adjusted
P
= 5.1 × 10
−6
), including
FAM20C
,
INHA
,
LAMC1
, and
VWA5B2
.

Conclusions
Predicted deleterious variants in known cSVD genes were present in 23.6% of unrelated cases with cSVD, but none of the genes were associated with the disease. Rare variants in noncoding and matrisomal genes could potentially contribute to cSVD development. These genes could play a role in tissue development and brain endothelial cell function. However, further studies are needed to confirm their pathophysiological roles.

Published: July 2024

Background
Angina with no obstructive coronary disease (ANOCA) and ischemia with no obstructive coronary disease, prevalent yet underrecognized conditions, mostly affect women. Previous studies rarely distinguished between them. We aimed to compare the prevalence of objective ischemia through various examinations in women with ANOCA and assess the impact of objective and subjective ischemia on their mental health.

Methods and Results

A total of 84 eligible women with ANOCA and 42 controls underwent mental stress, pharmacological stress, exercise stress, and Holter testing. Objective evidence of myocardial ischemia was assessed by positron emission tomography‐computed tomography and ECG, and subjective symptoms were graded using the Canadian Cardiovascular Society scale (CCS). Psychological assessments were conducted using 6 scales. Among 84 women with ANOCA, 37 (44%) received a diagnosis of ischemia with no obstructive coronary disease following mental stress testing, 20 (28.6%) through pharmacological stress testing, 14 (21.2%) via exercise stress testing, and 24 (32.9%) from Holter. Mental stress‐induced myocardial ischemia was more prevalent (
P
<0.05). Among 54 patients with ANOCA who completed all tests, 30% showed no ischemia, and only 1 (1.9%) showed ischemia in all tests. In addition, patients with ANOCA had higher psychological scores than controls (
P
<0.01). No significant differences was observed in psychological scores between ANOCA with positive and negative ischemia test results (
P
>0.05). However, ANOCA with milder angina (CCS I) exhibited higher scores across the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist‐Civilian Version and a higher prevalence of Type D personality traits (
P
<0.05).

Conclusions
In patients with ANOCA, the positive rate of myocardial ischemia exhibits variability among several noninvasive tests. A worsened psychological state is more closely linked to milder angina symptoms than to ischemia performance, highlighting the importance of focusing on symptom management in their psychological care.

Shared Medical Appointments in Heart Failure for Post Acute Care Follow‐Up: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Taveira Tracey H. , Cohen Lisa B. , Laforest Sherry K. , Oliver Karen , Parent Melanie , Hearns Rene , Ball Sherry L. , Dev Sandesh , Wu Wen‐Chih 
Published: July 2024

Background
Shared medical appointments (SMAs) in heart failure (HF) are medical visits where several patients with HF meet with multidisciplinary providers at the same time for efficient and comprehensive care. It is unknown whether HF‐SMAs can improve overall and cardiac health status for high‐risk patients with HF discharged from acute care.

Methods and Results

A 3‐site, open‐label, randomized‐controlled‐trial was conducted. Participants within 12 weeks of HF acute care (emergency‐room/hospitalization) requiring intravenous diuretic therapy were randomized to receive either HF‐SMA or usual HF clinical care (usual‐care) on a 1:1 ratio. The HF‐SMA team, which consisted of a nurse, nutritionist, psychologist, nurse practitioner and/or a clinical pharmacist, provided four 2‐hour session HF‐SMAs that met every other week for 8 weeks. Primary outcomes were the overall health status measured by European Quality of Life Visual Analog Scale and cardiac health status by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, 180 days postrandomization. Of the 242 patients enrolled (HF‐SMA n=117, usual‐care n=125, mean age 69.3±9.4 years, 71.5% White patients, 94.6% male), 84% of participants completed the study (n=8 HF‐SMA and n=9 usual‐care patients died). After 180 days, both HF‐SMA and usual‐care participants had significant improvements from baseline in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire that were not statistically different. Only HF‐SMA participants had significant improvements in European Quality of Life Visual Analog Scale (mean change = 7.2±15.8 in HF‐SMA versus −0.4±19.0 points in usual‐care,
P
< 0.001).

Conclusions
Both HF‐SMA and usual‐care in participants with HF achieved significant improvements in cardiac health status, but only a team approach through HF‐SMA achieved significant improvements in overall health status. Future larger studies are needed to evaluate hospitalization and death outcomes.

Trafficking | Transmission | Translation: Exploring Embodiment as a Mode of Knowledge Construction in Science Art Installations
Authors: Rassell Andrea , Bray Heather 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Science art practices are often framed as science communication in a manner that overlooks the capacity of the arts to provide engagement opportunities beyond discourse. The authors perform a thematic analysis of audience interviews from scientific media art installations that depict complex, intangible, invisible, and ephemeral scientific phenomena, specifically focusing on medical nanotechnology. The analysis reveals that visitors recognize sensorial experiences beyond traditional science communication, while scientists’ experiences expanded their definition of engagement. The authors argue that scientific media art practices act as sites of meaning-making and nondiscursive engagement that create reflective and embodied contexts for encounters with emerging technologies.
The Sound of Data: Designing a Framework for Parameter Mapping Sonification
Authors: Peng Tristan , Choi Hongchan , Berger Jonathan 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Parameter mapping sonification is a powerful tool for data display and analysis with uses in a myriad of fields of study. Despite the wide range of applications, parameter mapping sonification remains abstruse for people to utilize effectively. This article outlines an original design in the domain of parameter mapping sonification applications for a flexible, extensible, and intuitive web app that democratizes this data display method. Sonification Interface for REmapping Nature (SIREN) accomplishes these goals through an accessible interface for sonification that demonstrates various web technologies, including Web Audio API. Existing frameworks are compared in five different areas—technology, design, functionality, accessibility, and extensibility—to determine the optimal gap for SIREN.
Some Observations on Trophy Hunting and the Quest for Big Game Animals in American Society
Authors: Eliason Stephen L. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
In the fall season each year, recreationists travel to rural regions across the United States to engage in hunting activities. While there are many reasons for hunting including the acquisition of food, social camaraderie, and enjoyment of nature, the possibility of obtaining a trophy specimen represents a powerful inducement for hunters to participate in a long-standing tradition. This essay analyzes the quest for trophy big game in contemporary American society from a sociological perspective and suggests that several factors have converged in recent decades that promote and encourage trophy hunting of nonhuman animals in the United States, including mass and social media, the hunting industry, and the commercialization of wildlife. The pursuit of trophy big game is an obsession for some hunters and contributes to the perpetuation of the hunting industry. Implications and risks of trophy hunting for the viability of sport hunting as a traditional recreational pursuit are discussed.
Effect of microhabitat exposure and time of day on abundance and microclimatic conditions by age classes in Pseudoeurycea leprosa from a mountain of central Mexico
Authors: Cante-Bazán Enrique Adrián , Méndez-Allende Guadalupe , Hernández-Salinas Uriel , Luría-Manzano Ricardo , Ramírez-Bautista Aurelio 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Plethodontids are organisms highly linked to variations in temperature and moisture in the environment. The major determinant of their body temperature is the interaction between microhabitat preferences and time of day. However, there are proposed differences in moisture and temperature preferences among age classes. This study examines how microhabitat exposure and time of day on the abundance, environmental and microenvironmental moisture and temperature, body temperature, and age demographics of Pseudoeurycea leprosa interact. Hatchlings appeared to be more abundant during the day, and their body temperature varied by microhabitat and time of day, the microenvironmental moisture of the sites that individual used were affected by the interaction between these variables. These results suggest segregation between age classes. Juveniles and adults may benefit by exploiting exposed microhabitats because their body temperature remains stable. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the responses of plethodontids to changes in their environment.
