Published: February 2024

AbstractRegenerative potential is widespread but unevenly distributed across animals. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying regenerative processes is limited to a handful of model organisms, restricting robust comparative analyses. Here, we conduct a time course of RNA-seq during whole body regeneration in Mnemiopsis leidyi (Ctenophora) to uncover gene expression changes that correspond with key events during the regenerative timeline of this species. We identified several genes highly enriched in this dataset beginning as early as 10 minutes after surgical bisection including transcription factors in the early timepoints, peptidases in the middle timepoints, and cytoskeletal genes in the later timepoints. We validated the expression of early response transcription factors by whole mount in situ hybridization, showing that these genes exhibited high expression in tissues surrounding the wound site. These genes exhibit a pattern of transient upregulation as seen in a variety of other organisms, suggesting that they may be initiators of an ancient gene regulatory network linking wound healing to the initiation of a regenerative response.

Published: February 2024

AbstractIdentifying true DNA cellular barcodes among polymerase chain reaction and sequencing errors is challenging. Current tools are restricted in the diversity of barcode types supported or the analysis strategies implemented. As such, there is a need for more versatile and efficient tools for barcode extraction, as well as for tools to investigate which factors impact barcode detection and which filtering strategies to best apply. Here we introduce the package CellBarcode and its barcode simulation kit, CellBarcodeSim, that allows efficient and versatile barcode extraction and filtering for a range of barcode types from bulk or single-cell sequencing data using a variety of filtering strategies. Using the barcode simulation kit and biological data, we explore the technical and biological factors influencing barcode identification and provide a decision tree on how to optimize barcode identification for different barcode settings. We believe that CellBarcode and CellBarcodeSim have the capability to enhance the reproducibility and interpretation of barcode results across studies.

Abstract
Background
Although the mpox global health emergency caused by mpox virus (MPXV) clade IIb.1 has ended, mpox cases are still reported due to low vaccination coverage and waning immunity. COH04S1 is a clinically evaluated, multiantigen COVID-19 vaccine candidate built on a fully synthetic platform of the highly attenuated modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vector, representing the only FDA-approved smallpox/mpox vaccine JYNNEOS. Given the potential threat of MPXV resurgence and need for vaccine alternatives, we aimed to assess the capacity COH04S1 and its synthetic MVA (sMVA) backbone to confer MPXV-specific immunity.

Methods
We evaluated orthopoxvirus-specific and MPXV cross-reactive immune responses in samples collected during a Phase 1 clinical trial of COH04S1 and in non-human primates (NHP) vaccinated with COH04S1 or its sMVA backbone. MPXV cross-reactive immune responses in COH04S1-vaccinated healthy adults were compared to responses measured in healthy subjects vaccinated with JYNNEOS. Additionally, we evaluated the protective efficacy of COH04S1 and sMVA against mpox in mpox-susceptible CAST/EiJ mice.

Results
COH04S1-vaccinated individuals develop robust orthopoxvirus-specific humoral and cellular responses, including cross-reactive antibodies to MPXV-specific virion proteins as well as MPXV cross-neutralizing antibodies in 45% of the subjects. In addition, NHP vaccinated with COH04S1 or sMVA show similar MPXV cross-reactive antibody responses. Moreover, MPXV cross-reactive humoral responses elicited by COH04S1 are comparable to those measured in JYNNEOS-vaccinated subjects. Finally, we show that mice vaccinated with COH04S1 or sMVA are protected from lung infection following challenge with MPXV clade IIb.1.

Conclusions
These results demonstrate the capacity of sMVA vaccines to elicit cross-reactive and protective orthopox-specific immunity against MPXV, suggesting that COH04S1 and sMVA could be developed as bivalent or monovalent mpox vaccine alternatives against MPXV.
Smart forwarding deceptive jamming distribution optimal algorithm

Published: February 2024

AbstractWith the frequent occurrence of drone black flying in large stadiums and airports, the requirement of precise electromagnetic interference to achieve unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) displacement and forced landing in these protected area became urgent. Since traditional suppression jamming will affect normal communication, and forwarding deceptive jamming has coverage hole, a smart forwarding deceptive jamming distribution optimal algorithm (SFDJDO) is proposed. It gives a mapping error scale factor and the optimal distribution of multistation forwarding equivalent mapping to solve the problem of distortion on the mapping scale caused by different distribution methods and reduces the influence of the mapping errors and the differences between the virtual and real point neighborhoods of the jamming source. A comparison of the proposed SFDJDO method to the existing jamming source distribution optimisation method is conducted in the aspect of area mapping and trajectory mapping. The findings reveal that when the GNSS receiver clock bias is within the capture range, SFDJDO demonstrates significant enhancements in mapping precision and jamming success rates.
Anisotropy of plasma turbulence at ion scales: Hall and pressure–strain effects

Published: February 2024

Aims. We investigated the properties of plasma turbulence at ion scales in the solar wind context. We concentrated on the behaviour of the Hall physics and the pressure strain interaction and their anisotropy owing to the ambient magnetic field.
Methods. We studied the results of a three-dimensional hybrid simulation of decaying plasma turbulence using the Kármán–Howarth–Monin (KHM) equation, which quantifies different turbulent processes.
Results. The isotropised KHM analysis shows that kinetic plus magnetic (kinetic+magnetic) energy decays at large scales; this energy cascades from large to small scales via the magneto-hydrodynamic non-linearity that is partly continued via the Hall coupling around the ion scales. The cascading kinetic+magnetic energy is partly dissipated at small scales via resistive dissipation. This standard dissipation is complemented by the pressure–strain interaction, which plays the role of an effective dissipation mechanism and starts to act at relatively large scales. The pressure–strain interaction has two components, compressive and incompressive. Compressive interaction is connected with the velocity dilatation, which mostly reversibly exchanges kinetic+magnetic and internal energies. Incompressive interaction mostly irreversibly converts the kinetic+magnetic energy to internal energy. The compressive effects lead to important oscillations of the turbulence properties, but the compressibility is strongly reduced when averaged over a time period spanning a few periods of the oscillations. The ambient magnetic field induces a strong spectral anisotropy. The turbulent fluctuations exhibit larger scales along the magnetic field compared to the perpendicular directions. The KHM results show the corresponding anisotropy of turbulent processes: their characteristic scales shift to larger scales in the quasi-parallel direction with respect to the ambient magnetic field compared to the quasi-perpendicular direction. This anisotropy is weak at large scales owing to the initial isotropic spectrum, and becomes progressively stronger at small scales.

Published: February 2024

Context. Planet-disk interactions play a crucial role in the understanding of planet formation and disk evolution. There are multiple numerical tools available to simulate these interactions, including the commonly used FARGO code and its variants. Many of the codes have been extended over time to include additional physical processes, with a focus on their accurate modeling.
Aims. We introduce FARGOCPT, an updated version of FARGO that incorporates other previous enhancements to the code, to provide a simulation environment tailored to studies of the interactions between stars, planets, and disks. It is meant to ensure an accurate representation of planet systems, hydrodynamics, and dust dynamics, with a focus on usability.
Methods. The radiation-hydrodynamics part of FARGOCPT uses a second-order upwind scheme in 2D polar coordinates, supporting multiple equations of state, radiation transport, heating and cooling, and self-gravity. Shocks are considered using artificial viscosity. The integration of the N-body system is achieved by leveraging the REBOUND code. The dust module utilizes massless tracer particles, adapted to drag laws for the Stokes and Epstein regimes. Moreover, FARGOCPT provides mechanisms to simulate accretion onto stars and planets.
Results. The code has been tested in practice in the context of multiple studies. Additionally, it comes with an automated test suite for checking the physics modules. It is available online.
Conclusions. FARGOCPT offers a unique set of simulation capabilities within the current landscape of publicly available planet-disk interaction simulation tools. Its structured interface and underlying technical updates are intended to assist researchers in ongoing explorations of planet formation.

Published: February 2024

Aims. We compiled a list of more than 3500 eclipsing binaries located in and near the northern continuous viewing zone (NCVZ) of the TESS space telescope that have sufficient TESS photometry to search for additional hidden components in these systems. In addition to discovering their hierarchical nature, we also determined their orbital parameters and analyzed their distributions.
Methods. We obtained the TESS light curves of all targets in an automated way by applying convolution-aided differential photometry on the TESS full-frame images from all available sectors up to sector 60. Using a new self-developed Python GUI, we visually confirmed all of these light curves, determined the eclipsing periods of the objects, and calculated their eclipse-timing variations (ETVs). The ETV curves were used in order to search for nonlinear variations that could be attributed to a light travel-time effect (LTTE) or dynamical perturbations caused by additional components in these systems. We preselected 351 such candidates and modeled their ETVs with the analytic formulae of pure LTTE or with a combination of LTTE and dynamical perturbations.
Results. We were able to fit a model solution for the ETVs of 135 hierarchical triple candidates, 10 systems of which were known from the literature, and the remaining 125 systems are new discoveries. These systems include some more noteworthy ones, such as five tight triples that are very close to their dynamical stability limit with a period ratio lower than 20, and three newly discovered triply eclipsing triples. We point out that dynamical perturbations occur in GZ Dra, which we found to be a triple, and that the system is one of the most strongly inclined systems known in the literature, with im = 58° ±7°. We also compared the distributions of some orbital parameters from our solutions with those from a previous Kepler sample. Finally, we verified the correlations between the available parameters for systems that have Gaia non-single star orbital solutions with those from our ETV solutions.

Suppressing galloping-induced vibrations by integrating bluff body with surface protrusions
Authors: Xing Juntong , Rezaei Masoud , Dai Huliang , Liao Wei-Hsin 
Published: February 2024

As a kind of self-excited large amplitude vibration, galloping is detrimental to engineering structures. Therefore, how to effectively suppress it has been a crucial issue for both industry and academia. In this Letter, a passive method based on integrating rectangular prismatic bluff bodies with different surface protrusions is proposed to mitigate galloping-induced vibrations. Both wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations prove the validity of this method. Moreover, computational fluid dynamics simulations are also performed to investigate the underlying aerodynamic phenomena. Results reveal that the maximum amplitude and energy suppression ratios can reach 100%, especially for wind speeds higher than 3 m/s. As opposed to previous methods that delay galloping vibrations to higher wind speeds, this technique can directly change the vibration type from conjoint vortex-induced vibration (VIV)-galloping to VIV, which fundamentally eliminates galloping oscillations. Therefore, this method is promising in suppressing galloping vibrations.
A revisit of three hypotheses about second language development of English relative clauses
Authors: Ng Chi Wui 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Cantonese-English learners in Hong Kong confront with substantial difficulty in development of English relative
clauses. This study aims at verifying predictions of hypotheses about second language learners’ development of English relative
clauses with data of written Hong Kong English. wh relatives and that relatives in the Hong Kong
component of the International Corpus of English were identified. Frequencies of occurrence of distinct types of relative clauses
in the Hong Kong component were compared to evaluate whether predictions of Keenan and
Comrie’s (1977) Noun Phrase Accessibility Hierarchy, Kuno’s (1974)
Perceptual Difficulty Hypothesis, and Hamilton’s (1994) Subject-Object Hierarchy
Hypothesis are supported by the corpus data respectively. Results indicate that the Perceptual Difficulty Hypothesis is supported
by data of written Hong Kong English whilst the other two hypotheses are partially supported only. Hypotheses supported by corpus
data of written Hong Kong English are suggested to inform English language education in Hong Kong by illuminating the
instructional order of different types of English relative clauses.
Dealing with a Multi-Rabbit Household When Breeding is Uncontrolled
Authors: Tyson Jane 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) was called to help an owner with a large number of rabbits living on a domestic property. As often happens in these situations, the owner initially acquired a pair of rabbits which quickly bred, and because the owner had no knowledge of their reproductive systems, the numbers quickly spiralled. At first, the owner was reluctant to engage but over time realised that help was needed, not just for the rabbits but for themselves too. It became clear that they were not intentionally causing suffering to their animals, but had become overwhelmed and did not know how to get support. Over a period of time, the RSPCA built a trusting relationship with the owner and was able to reduce the number of rabbits in their home by removing them into the care of the charity where they were triaged and the majority were rehabilitated and rehomed. While the overall living conditions were poor, the rabbits were fed a hay-based diet and had access to conspecifics, so these needs were met in terms of diet and social opportunities. The rabbits were free-roaming and had space to meet the need to be able to move with different gaits and stretch. However, evidence of aggressive encounters indicates social and space needs were only partially met as there was no opportunity for individuals to move right away to set up separate compatible social groups. The owner was supported in their desire to keep a small group of four rabbits; the property was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected and became a suitable place for the remaining rabbits to live. These rabbits were provided with veterinary treatment including neutering to ensure this situation was prevented from happening again. Additionally, the RSPCA signposted the owner to other organisations for ongoing support with their own health and wellbeing.

Exploring strategies for pet owners experiencing homelessness: A rapid scoping review
Authors: Kurkowski Michelle , Springer Andrew 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Approximately 10% of homeless individuals keep pets, but little information exists on specific interventions for this population. The aim of this rapid review is to describe what is currently known about intervention strategies for improving the health of homeless pet owners and their companion animals to identify knowledge gaps and inform future research and interventions. A database search of PubMed and Embase was conducted, and relevant articles were divided into primary research studies and “white papers” reporting proposed or attempted interventions, with each group analyzed separately. Common intervention strategies found across the literature were then summarized in narrative form. Nineteen articles fit the inclusion criteria, including 6 original research studies, 9 case reports and 4 narrative reviews. From analysis of these articles, 5 common intervention strategies emerged, including: (1) Free veterinary clinics, (2) Joint human/animal clinics, (3) Stigma reduction, (4) Interdisciplinary relationships and (5) Pet-friendly lodging. Studies on this population exhibited significant heterogeneity, and further program evaluation is needed to recommend intervention best practices. Joint human/animal clinics and interdisciplinary partnerships are promising avenues for evaluating interventions and improving health outcomes.
Analysis and implementation of shorting pins in microstrip patch antenna for SAR reduction
Authors: Kurup Hrudya B , Antony Divya , Rajan Vivek , Rodrigues Stephen 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Specific absorption rate (SAR), is the safety measure to quantify human exposure to electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones and other wireless devices, which must be kept within the permissible levels to avoid various health concerns. This paper provides an experimental study on the effectiveness of SAR reduction, using shorting pins, and its corresponding effects on antenna performance. A compact, single-element, microstrip patch antenna design, using shorting pins, with reduced SAR value, is also presented. The surface current distribution on the patch can be modified by the strategic positioning of shorting pins to produce a mushroom shaped radiation pattern having nearly omnidirectional nature in the +Z direction with a near-field null in the vicinity of the user’s direction. This completely minimizes the back lobes in the E-plane, with minor back lobes in the H-Plane creating a deep null, which reduces the SAR value without compromising the signal coverage. The antenna is fabricated and cross-verified by experimental evaluation in an anechoic chamber for return loss, gain, and radiation pattern.
A new synchronization result for fractional-order discrete-time chaotic systems via bandlimited channels

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Recently, digital chaotic communication with limited bandwidth has seized the attention of several researchers. This interest stems from the fact that all physical communication channels are limited in bandwidth for data transmission. In furtherance of this, researchers and investigators in this area have put forward various new communication strategies based on synchronizing and controlling coupled chaotic systems evolving in discrete time. In this article, we present a new robust communication scheme based on the synchronization of two fractional-order discrete-time chaotic systems connected by bandlimited channels. The major contribution is to give a sufficient condition in term of the existing and updated parameters of the incorporated fractional-order system on one hand and the inserted filter coefficients, on the other hand. Once applied for data communications, the currently drawn up synchronization scheme pledges to enhance the transmission robustness. Indeed, the new considered parameters act like novel secret keys which widen the cipher key space. Primary and pertinent simulation curves and results performed on Matlab software portray and illustrate the effectiveness of our approach.
