Abstract
In this paper, we develop a (2+1)-dimensional fifth-order modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (mKP) equation model using multiscale analysis and perturbation expansion, which is a novel model description of the shallow ocean solitary waves phenomenon, featuring stronger nonlinear terms and a higher-order compared to traditional models. We examine the conservation law within the model to further investigate the properties of solitary waves. Subsequently, we obtain the exact solutions of the model by employing the

expansion method. We simulate the generation and propagation of solitary waves through appropriate parameter adjustments, deriving the solitary wave solutions, kink wave solutions, and periodic wave solutions. Additionally, we analyze the effects of different parameters on the propagation of solitary waves. Finally, we explore the evolution of solitary waves before and after generation under a given initial perturbation conditions. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics of shallow ocean solitary waves, shedding light on their behaviour and implications.

Abstract
One of the most prevalent techniques used in the construction of optical fiber-based pressure sensors is Fabry–Perot interferometry. This work presents a variety of interferometric sensors based on this feature. To achieve this, we used chemical etching (HF) to create conical cavities at the ends of the optical fibers single mode fiber (SMF) and graded index (GRIN) fiber, where the first gold (Au) deposition allows us to create half-mirrors. So the interface (core/Au) represents the first reflective surface. After filling each micro-cavity with a quantity of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) type polymer to form a flexible micro-lens, and proceeding to a second deposition of gold (Au), we got the second reflective surface (PDMS/Au). The sensor with the highest sensitivity to pressure and temperature, namely 0.065 nm/KPa and 0.24 nm/°C, was obtained for a micro-cavity length of 35 μm, a diameter of 60 μm, and a micro-lens thickness of 20 μm, respectively. Analysis and simulation were performed using COMSOL Multiphysics to develop the sensor.
ALP dark matter with non-periodic potentials: parametric resonance, halo formation and gravitational signatures
Authors: Chatrchyan Aleksandr , Eröncel Cem , Koschnitzke Matthias , Servant Géraldine 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAxion-like particles (ALPs) are leading candidates to explain the dark matter in the universe. Their production via the misalignment mechanism has been extensively studied for cosine potentials characteristic of pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons. In this work we investigate ALPs with non-periodic potentials, which allow for large misalignment of the field from the minimum. As a result, the ALP can match the relic density of dark matter in a large part of the parameter space. Such potentials give rise to self-interactions which can trigger an exponential growth of fluctuations in the ALP field via parametric resonance, leading to the fragmentation of the field. We study these effects with both Floquet analysis and lattice simulations. Using the Press-Schechter formalism, we predict the halo mass function and halo spectrum arising from ALP dark matter. These halos can be dense enough to produce observable gravitational effects such as astrometric lensing, diffraction of gravitational wave signals from black hole mergers, photometric microlensing of highly magnified stars, perturbations of stars in the galactic disk or stellar streams. These effects would provide a probe of dark matter even if it does not couple to the Standard Model. They would not be observable for halos predicted for standard cold dark matter and for ALP dark matter in the standard misalignment mechanism. We determine the relevant regions of parameter space in the (ALP mass, decay constant)-plane and compare predictions in different axion fragmentation models.
Cosmology inference at the field level from biased tracers in redshift-space

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Cosmology inference of galaxy clustering at the field level with the EFT likelihood in principle allows for extracting all non-Gaussian information from quasi-linear scales, while robustly marginalizing over any astrophysical uncertainties. A pipeline in this spirit is implemented in the LEFTfield code, which we extend in this work to describe the clustering of galaxies in redshift space. Our main additions are: the computation of the velocity field in the LPT gravity model, the fully nonlinear displacement of the evolved, biased density field to redshift space, and a systematic expansion of velocity bias. We test the resulting analysis pipeline by applying it to synthetic data sets with a known ground truth at increasing complexity: mock data generated from the perturbative forward model itself, sub-sampled matter particles, and dark matter halos in N-body simulations. By fixing the initial-time density contrast to the ground truth, while varying the growth rate f, bias coefficients and noise amplitudes, we perform a stringent set of checks. These show that indeed a systematic higher-order expansion of the velocity bias is required to infer a growth rate consistent with the ground truth within errors. Applied to dark matter halos, our analysis yields unbiased constraints on f at the level of a few percent for a variety of halo masses at redshifts z = 0, 0.5, 1 and for a broad range of cutoff scales 0.08 h/Mpc≤ Λ ≤ 0.20 h/Mpc. Importantly, deviations between true and inferred growth rate exhibit the scaling with halo mass, redshift and cutoff that one expects based on the EFT of Large Scale Structure. Further, we obtain a robust detection of velocity bias through its effect on the redshift-space density field and are able to disentangle it from higher-derivative bias contributions.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Aiming at improving the survey efficiency of the Wide Field Survey Telescope, we have developed a basic scheduling strategy that takes into account the telescope characteristics, observing conditions, and weather conditions at the Lenghu site. The sky area is divided into rectangular regions, referred to as “tiles,” with a size of 2.°577 × 2.°634 slightly smaller than the focal area of the mosaic CCDs. These tiles are continuously filled in annulars parallel to the equator. The brightness of the sky background, which varies with the moon phase and distance from the moon, plays a significant role in determining the accessible survey fields. Approximately 50 connected tiles are grouped into one block for observation. To optimize the survey schedule, we perform simulations by taking into account the length of exposures, data readout, telescope slewing, and all relevant observing conditions. We utilize the Greedy Algorithm for scheduling optimization. Additionally, we propose a dedicated dithering pattern to cover the gaps between CCDs and the four corners of the mosaic CCD array, which are located outside of the 3° field of view. This dithering pattern helps to achieve relatively uniform exposure maps for the final survey outputs.
D-divisible quantum evolution families
Authors: Szczygielski Krzysztof 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
We propose and explore a notion of decomposably divisible (D-divisible) differentiable quantum evolution families on matrix algebras. This is achieved by replacing the complete positivity requirement, imposed on the propagator, by more general condition of decomposability. It is shown that such D-divisible dynamical maps satisfy a generalized version of Master equation and are totally characterized by their time-local generators. Necessary and sufficient conditions for D-divisibility are found. Additionally, decomposable trace preserving semigroups are examined.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Microbial genome recovery from metagenomes can further explain microbial ecosystem structures, functions and dynamics. Thus, this study developed the Additional Clustering Refiner (ACR) to enhance high-purity prokaryotic and eukaryotic metagenome-assembled genome (MAGs) recovery. ACR refines low-quality MAGs by subjecting them to iterative k-means clustering predicated on contig abundance and increasing bin purity through validated universal marker genes. Synthetic and real-world metagenomic datasets, including short- and long-read sequences, evaluated ACR's effectiveness. The results demonstrated improved MAG purity and a significant increase in high- and medium-quality MAG recovery rates. In addition, ACR seamlessly integrates with various binning algorithms, augmenting their strengths without modifying core features. Furthermore, its multiple sequencing technology compatibilities expand its applicability. By efficiently recovering high-quality prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes, ACR is a promising tool for deepening our understanding of microbial communities through genome-centric metagenomics.

Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background
Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, with remarkable advances in early diagnosis, systemic treatments, and surgical techniques. Robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy has been trialled; however, the complication rates, surgical outcomes, and oncological safety of this approach remain obscure.

Methods
A systematic search of the literature was conducted from conception until September 2022. Studies examining complications and operative variables where robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy was compared with conventional nipple-sparing mastectomy were included. Primary study outcomes were complications (Clavien–Dindo grade III complications, skin or nipple necrosis, seroma, haematoma, infection, implant loss, and wound dehiscence) and oncological safety (recurrence and positive margins). The secondary outcomes included operative variables, length of stay, cost-effectiveness, learning curve, and aesthetic outcome.

Results
A total of seven studies of overall fair quality, involving 1674 patients, were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Grade 3 complications were reduced in robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy without statistical significance (OR 0.60 (95 per cent c.i. 0.35 to 1.05)). Nipple necrosis was significantly reduced in robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (OR 0.54 (95 per cent c.i. 0.30 to 0.96); P = 0.03; I2 = 15 per cent). Operating time (mean difference +58.81 min (95 per cent c.i. +28.19 to +89.44 min); P = 0.0002) and length of stay (mean difference +1.23 days (95 per cent c.i. +0.64 to +1.81 days); P &lt; 0.0001) were significantly increased in robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy, whereas the opposite was true for blood loss (mean difference −53.18 ml (95 per cent c.i. −71.78 to −34.58 ml); P &lt; 0.0001).

Conclusion
Whilst still in its infancy, robotic breast surgery may become a viable option in breast surgery. Nonetheless, the oncological safety of this approach requires robust assessment.

Abstract
Cerebral malaria is an important cause of mortality and neurodisability in endemic regions. We show magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features suggestive of cytotoxic and vasogenic cerebral edema followed by microhemorrhages in 2 adult UK cases, comparing them with an Indian cohort. Long-term follow-up images correlate ongoing changes with residual functional impairment.

Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background
The poor health status of underserved populations is compounded by low vaccination uptake, leading to a greater risk of epidemics. On October 2017, a measles outbreak started in the southwest of France among under-vaccinated social groups, including Travellers. We aimed to describe the health status, healthcare use and child measles–mumps–rubella (MMR) vaccination coverage in Travellers according to their environmental and living conditions.

Methods
A cross-sectional study with a three-stage random sample design was conducted between October 2019 and March 2022 in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in France. Trained social workers administered face-to-face questionnaires to collect data on adults and children. Anthropometric measurements, vaccination records and data using an environmental exposure questionnaire were also collected.

Results
The participation rate was high (73.6%), with 1030 adults and 337 children included. Concerning the adults, 36.6% had obesity, 14.4% reported diabetes, 24.7% hypertension and 14.4% major depression. The prevalence of major depression was significantly higher in adults living in precarious and unauthorized housing than in those with adequate housing (19.8 vs. 14.7%, P = 0.03). With regard to children, 45.3% had full (i.e. 2-dose) MMR vaccination coverage at 24 months and 17.9% had obesity. Finally, 74.5% of the households experienced housing insecurity, and 22.2% did not have a supply of drinking water.

Conclusion
Traveller children and adults faced deleterious environmental and living conditions potentially affecting their health, healthcare use and vaccination coverage. These results demonstrate the need for urgent interventions for underserved populations which take into account their specific needs.

Abstract
Advancements in genomics have significant implications for public health, making citizens’ education vital for informed decision-making. Based on two literature reviews’ findings and a survey conducted with experts from the Italian Network of Genomics in Public Health, we conducted a pilot survey on Italian citizens’ attitudes, knowledge and educational needs toward genetic testing and omics sciences. Our results demonstrate a widespread interest in genetic testing and uncertainties regarding associated risks, with 99% of participants acknowledging insufficient knowledge of genetic testing. There is an urgent need for educational tools to improve citizens’ literacy and engagement in this rapidly evolving field.

Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background
Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) is becoming a standard assessment tool in Crohn’s disease (CD), but limited data exist on its ability to predict long-term objective outcomes. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the predictive value of IUS findings for long-term transmural healing (TH) and mucosal healing (MH) in CD.

Methods
We prospectively included consecutive CD patients with active endoscopic disease and bowel wall thickness (BWT) &gt;3.0 mm, initiating infliximab. Intestinal ultrasound parameters (ie, BWT, inflammatory mesenteric fat [i-fat], bowel blood flow and stratification) and International Bowel Ultrasound Segmental Activity Score (IBUS-SAS) were collected at baseline, after 14 to 26 weeks (visit 1, postinduction) and 44 to 56 weeks (visit 2). Transmural healing (normalization of all IUS parameters) and MH (SES-CD ≤2) were assessed at visit 2.

Results
One hundred twenty-nine patients were evaluated. At visit 2, 38.0% and 48.1% of patients achieved TH and MH, respectively. All the IUS parameters and IBUS-SAS showed improvement at visit 1 and visit 2 compared with the baseline (all P &lt; .001). Multivariable analysis found that presence of i-fat at baseline (odds ratio [OR], 0.57; P = .008) and greater postinduction BWT (OR, 0.24; P &lt; .001) were negative predictors for TH, while higher baseline (OR, 0.98; P = .013) and postinduction (OR, 0.94; P &lt; .001) IBUS-SAS predicted negatively for MH. Postinduction BWT &lt;4.5mm best predicted TH (AUC 0.85; P &lt; .001), while postinduction IBUS-SAS &lt;25.0 best predicted MH (AUC 0.82; P &lt; .001). Moreover, colonic disease was associated with higher risk of TH (OR, 2.55; P = .027), and disease duration &gt;24 months with lower risk of MH (OR, 0.27; P = .006).

Conclusions
Baseline and postinduction IUS findings reliably predict long-term TH and MH in patients with CD receiving infliximab.

Abstract
Congenital toxoplasmosis in humans and in other mammalian species, such as small ruminants, is a well-known cause of abortion and fetal malformations. The calcium-dependent protein kinase 1 (CDPK1) inhibitor BKI-1748 has shown a promising safety profile for its use in humans and a good efficacy against Toxoplasma gondii infection in vitro and in mouse models. Ten doses of BKI-1748 given every other day orally in sheep at 15 mg/kg did not show systemic or pregnancy-related toxicity. In sheep experimentally infected at 90 days of pregnancy with 1000 TgShSp1 oocysts, the BKI-1748 treatment administered from 48 hours after infection led to complete protection against abortion and congenital infection. In addition, compared to infected/untreated sheep, treated sheep showed a drastically lower rectal temperature increase and none showed IgG seroconversion throughout the study. In conclusion, BKI-1748 treatment in pregnant sheep starting at 48 hours after infection was fully effective against congenital toxoplasmosis.
Webs of intrigue: museum genomics elucidate relationships of the marronoid spider clade (Araneae)

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Relationships among spider families that lack support through other lines of evidence (e.g., morphology) have recently been uncovered through molecular phylogenetics. One such group is the “marronoid” clade, which contains about 3,400 described species in 9 families. Marronoids run the gamut of life history strategies, with social species, species producing a variety of silk types, and species occurring in a range of extreme environments. Despite recognition of the ecological variability in the group, there remains uncertainty about family- level relationships, leaving diverse ecologies without an evolutionary context. The phylogenies produced to date have relatively low nodal support, there are few defined morphological synapomorphies, and the internal relationships of many families remain unclear. We use 93 exemplars from all marronoid families and ultraconserved element loci captured in silico from a combination of 48 novel low-coverage whole genomes and genomic data from the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) to produce a 50% occupancy matrix of 1,277 loci from a set of ultraconserved element probes. These loci were used to infer a phylogeny of the marronoid clade and to evaluate the familial relationships within the clade, and were combined with single-locus (Sanger) legacy data to further increase taxonomic sampling. Our results indicate a clearly defined and well-supported marronoid clade and provide evidence for both monophyly and paraphyly within the currently defined families of the clade. We propose taxonomic changes in accordance with the resulting phylogenetic hypothesis, including elevating Cicurinidae (restored status) and Macrobunidae (new rank).
Survey on microbial contamination of opened skin care products used for tattooing
Authors: Neuhaus Szilvia , Brockmann Stefan , Al Dahouk Sascha , Dieckmann Ralf 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Aims
Inadequate hygiene measures as well as the use of contaminated inks or non-sterile needles are considered as important infection sources in the process of tattooing. In tattoo parlors and at conventions, it is common practice to apply cosmetic products from bulk packs as lubricants during tattooing and as ointments for tattoo aftercare. The objective of our study was to assess the microbial load of opened skin care products used during tattooing or for tattoo aftercare.

Methods and results
First, we established a homogenization method suitable for the microbiological examination of water-immiscible products. To this end, we compared the efficiency of FastPrepTM and Stomacher® homogenizers on artificially contaminated petroleum jelly. FastPrep homogenates revealed significantly higher detection rates (≥97%) compared to Stomacher ones (31%–64%). Second, we investigated 106 cosmetic bulk pack products collected from tattoo artists. After FastPrep homogenization for 30 seconds, total aerobic mesophilic bacteria and the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans were determined through culture. We also tested for Mycobacteria spp. by qPCR. In total, 4.7% of the cosmetic products under study turned out to be contaminated.

Conclusion
The observed microbial contamination of opened skin care bulk packs can hold a risk to introduce bacteria into the fresh skin wound resulting from tattooing and may be a risk factor for post-tattoo infections.
