Authors: Liu Junnan , Liu Yifan , Ding Yongkang 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Heterogeneous multi-core processor has the ability to switch between differenttypes of cores to perform tasks, which provides more space and possibility forrealizing efficient operation of computer system and improving computer computing power. Current research focuses on heterogeneous multiprocessor systemswith high performance or low power consumption to reduce system energy consumption. However, some studies have shown that excessive voltage reductionmay lead to an increase in transient failure rates, reducing system reliability. Inorder to solve this problem, this paper studies the energy optimal schedulingproblem of HMSS with DVFS under the constraints of minimum time and reliability, and proposes an improved wild horse optimization algorithm (OIWHO),which improves the efficiency of heterogeneous task scheduling and shortens thetask completion time. The algorithm uses the learning and chaos perturbationstrategies based on opposition and crossover strategies to balance the search andutilization capabilities, and can further improve the performance of OIWHO.Compared with previous work, our proposed algorithm has more advantagesthan existing algorithms. Experimental results show that the average computingtime of OIWHO algorithm is 13.38%, 10.90%, 6.97%, 2.39% and 3.21% fasterthan QHA, PSO, GWO, LFD and OIWOA, respectively. Especially when solvinglarge-scale problems, our algorithm takes less time than other algorithms.
On gradient Riemann solitons invariant by rotation
Authors: Menezes Ilton Ferreira , Batista Elismar Dias , Tokura Willian Isao 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we consider Riemann solitons that are conformal to an Euclidean space. Assuming that the solutions of the presented system of partial differential equations are invariant under the action of the orthogonal group, we provide all the solutions for the gradient Riemann solitons. We show that a gradient Riemann soliton (M, g) is both geodesically complete and rotationally symmetric if and only if g is the canonical product metric on R × S n−1. Furthermore, this soliton is shrinking.

Authors: Shah Akhtar Hussain , Shah Syed Sibghatullah 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This comprehensive study strategically addresses the export of human capital from Pakistan, focusing specifically on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) region, within the framework of game theory and the crucial influence of social capital. Employing a game-theoretic model, this research navigates the complex interplay between potential migrants and host countries, incorporating the dynamics of asymmetric information, cultural and social influences, and the nuances of Pakistan's educational and economic sectors. Methodologically, the study blends qualitative insights with quantitative rigor, including mathematical derivations from game-theoretic principles, specifically exploring the prisoner's dilemma model. This approach effectively dissects the strategic decision-making processes in human capital export, revealing pivotal interactions between human and social capital. The results articulate optimal strategies for exporting human capital, underlining a multiplier effect that arises from the synergistic relationship between human and social capital. The findings emphasize the immense potential for bolstering human capital export from regions like KPK by resolving informational asymmetries, customizing educational initiatives to align with global market demands, and strengthening industry-academic collaborations. Crucial in this endeavor is the utilization of social capital networks. The study culminates in a set of policy recommendations that hold relevance not only for Pakistan but also for other developing countries facing analogous challenges in human capital mobilization. This research makes a significant contribution to the fields of labor economics, educational policy, and international development. It offers a sophisticated understanding of the dynamics of human capital export in a developing country context, providing actionable insights for policymakers, educators, and economic strategists.

Pre-service science teachers’ preference of methods in a teaching-learning transaction
Authors: MHLONGO THABO , Sedumedi Thomas Dipogiso 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Teachers in science education use various teaching methods in different topics. Practical work activities (PWAs) and traditional direct teaching methods (DTMs) are common in science education classrooms. This paper reports on an exploratory study conducted among pre-service science teachers’ (PSTs) preferences of two teaching methods for their learning. The study explored associative relations between students’ preferences of methods with their achievements, in specific science topics at two levels of a teacher training course. The study adopted a cohort design. A quantitative descriptive data analysis of preference scores against achievement for each method to establish relations used. The outcome indicated that, on individual basis, some associative relations exist between method preferences and student achievement for particular students. Most students prefer the PWAs to the DTMs and students who prefer DTMs are more adapted to both methods than students who prefer the PWAs. Thus, from these relations, the researchers can conclude that adaptation or maturation to teaching methods plays a role in student learning. Therefore, teachers may have to consider these varied outcomes as important for instructional design purposes and the selection of teaching methods for different cohorts of students.
Excellent tribological properties of Al2O3/MoS2/Ce(PO4) composite layers in- situ prepared on 6082-T6 alloy
Authors: Li Qian , Shang Jian 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Al2O3/MoS2/Ce(PO4) composite ceramic coating was in-situ prepared on aluminum alloy by micro-arc oxidation. The results show that the content of (CH3CO3)3Ce·xH2O has a great influence on the microstructure of the ceramic layer. When the addition amount is 7.5 g/L, the surface hardness of the ceramic layer is 961.97 HV, which is 1.8 times that of the unadded and 8.36 times that of the matrix. Tribological tests show that the moderate addition of (CH3CO3)3Ce·xH2O also significantly improves the wear resistance of the ceramic layer. Composite layer research can be developed and applied to other alloys to improve their friction properties.

Stochastic simulations decipher the role of site-specific selection and seed migration in the maintenance of genetic variation in self-fertilizing annual weeds species
Authors: Revolinski Samuel R. , Burke Ian C. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
High rates of self-fertilization have long been associated with weediness in plants. Complete self-fertilization prevents effective genetic recombination, reducing effective population sizes by one half, theoretically reducing genetic variation present in populations. However, predominantly self-fertilizing plants such as downy brome (Bromus tectorum) have been successful in adapting to and subsequently invading many environments or adapting to management inputs. They often have adaptively relevant levels of multi-locus standing genetic variation manifests as phenotypic variation within a single locale of the invaded range. How populations of predominantly self-fertilizing species maintain genetic variation within locales remains unclear. A single locus, self-fertilizing, two-island Fisher-Wright forward genetic simulation with migration was used to explore fundamental questions about the implications of self-fertilization, selection, and migration on the maintenance of genetic/phenotypic variation in populations of annual self-fertilizing weeds species. The Fisher-Wright simulation demonstrated that with migration between locales and differential selection on the allelic state within locales, genetic variation could be maintained indefinitely within locales. Our study corroborates the use of best management practices for minimizing or preventing seed spread that are recommended for the management of herbicide resistance, such as cleaning vehicles or equipment that is transported between sites.
Newton's Second Law Revisited: Accounting for Resistance in Applied Forces
Authors: Nafria Amritpal Singh 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This article traces the historical evolution of applied force equation from its origins with Aristotle to the widespread recognition of Sir Isaac Newton's foundational equation, 'F=ma'. The contributions of influential figures such as John Philoponus, Avicenna, and John Buridan are explored, highlighting the progression of our understanding of applied forces over time. The central insight of this study revolves around the conventional equation 'F=ma', which, while fundamental, lacks consideration of resistance forces encountered in real-world scenarios. This paper aims to consider both the force applied to an object and any opposing resistance forces it experiences. The proposed equation (F=ma+r) emphasizes that an applied force not only causes acceleration but must also overcome resistance forces to achieve that acceleration. This equation offers a more complete model for practical scenarios. Additionally, the suggested method for measuring resistance forces adds to its real-world utility. It highlights how science continually evolves to better describe the complexities of the physical world.
Germanium distribution in Mississippi Valley-Type systems from sulfide deposition to oxidative weathering: A perspective from Fule Pb-Zn(-Ge) deposit, South China

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Germanium (Ge) is a critical raw material for emerging high-tech and green industries, resulting in considerable recent interest in understanding its distribution and geochemical behavior in ore deposits. In this contribution, the distribution of Ge and related trace elements in the Fule Pb-Zn(-Ge) deposit, South China, is investigated to reveal the distribution of Ge in the hydrothermal ores and during sulfide weathering, using multiple microanalytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). In the Fule MVT deposit, sphalerite (ZnS) is the most significant Ge-carrier relative to other sulfides, though the five recognized textural types of sphalerite display progressive depletion in Ge from the first sphalerite generation to the late one. In the early stage, sphalerite with fine-grained chalcopyrite inclusions has the highest Ge concentrations, probably accounting for a significant proportion of the total Ge. We interpret that high Ge concentrations in the early sphalerite may be attributable to high Cu activity in the mineralizing fluids. During oxidative weathering, Ge was redistributed from its original host, sphalerite, to the weathering product willemite (Zn2SiO4) rather than smithsonite (ZnCO3), with high levels of Ge (up to 448 μg/g) present in the willemite. The formation of abundant willemite largely prevents the dispersion of Ge during weathering. In principle, willemite-hosted Ge should be fully recoverable, and the Zn-silicate ores may, therefore, be a potential target to meet future demand. This study provides new information on how Ge behaves from sulfide- to weathering-stage in MVT systems, which directly impacts Ge mobility and deportment changes and the development of metal-lurgical strategies for Ge recovery.

Abstract
A set of 23 vesbine-bearing samples from Vesuvius volcano (Italy), preserved in the collection of the Royal Mineralogical Museum of Naples, University Federico II (RMMN), have been investigated to identify the mineral assemblages and their mode of formation. In the late 19th century, fumarole-related yellow patinas coating some historical lavas from Vesuvius were believed by Scacchi to contain a new element, vesbium, similar to vanadium in a mineral he called vesbine. Subsequent studies rejected vesbium and showed that vesbine was a poorly defined mixture of copper vanadates and halides. The vesbine samples studied here consist of yellowish to yellow-green-blue encrustations on Vesuvius lavas and have been analyzed by combined optical microscopy, SEM-EDS, XRPD, FTIR, and TEM-HRTEM-EDS. Results reveal complex mineral associations, including vanadates, halides, carbonates, oxides, silicates, tungstates/molybdates, and sulfates. The vanadates correspond to mottramite, volborthite, and vanadinite; subordinate amounts of descloizite were detected by XRPD and FTIR investigations. Several additional non-essential elements have been detected in the vanadates, including Mn, Zn, and As. The occurrence of wulfenite- and stolzite-rich phases indicates the presence of Mo and W, along with Pb, in the mineralizing fluids. Mn-rich phases, commonly in mixtures with silicates and vanadates, were also observed. These minerals are formed by a combination of different processes, including rock-fluid interactions, gas-water interactions, and alteration/oxidation of primary fumarolic minerals. Temperatures for the depositions of the vanadates-bearing assemblages are interpreted to be in the range of 100 to 400 °C.

Aortic Aneurysms: An Integrated Study of Meta-analysis
and Network Pharmacology
Authors: He Zhen , Chen Yu , Wang Hongjie , Dai Lei , Zeng Hesong 
Published: January 2024

Background::
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a segmental, progressive,
and fatal vascular disorder, and the current strategy for small AAAs is close observation
alone.The purpose of this study is to summarize the available evidence to assess the effects
of antibiotics on small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).

background:
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a segmental, progressive, and fatal vascular disorder, and the current strategy for small AAAs is close observation alone.

Methods::
We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus from inception
to September 29, 2023, and included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated
the effects of antibiotics on small AAAs in humans. We first performed a meta-analysis
to assess the effects of antibiotics on small AAAs. Afterward, network pharmacology
analysis was applied to investigate the optimal drug generated from the meta-analysis
results. We searched Pharmmapper and GeneCards to obtain the common potential targets
of the selected drug and AAA-related targets. The protein-protein interaction network
and functional enrichment analysis were performed by the STRING database, Cytoscape
3.7.2 software, and R, respectively. Docking studies were carried out for validation.

Results::
We incorporated data from six RCTs involving a total of 997 patients. The results
of this meta-analysis revealed that roxithromycin exhibited a modest yet statistically
significant protective effect in terms of slowing down the AAA expansion rate. Furthermore,
our subsequent bioinformatics analysis pinpointed MMP-2, MMP-9, ALB,
MMP-3, and CCL-5 as potential therapeutic targets that could be explored for the treatment
of AAA using roxithromycin.

Conclusion::
In conclusion, the study indicates roxithromycin is a promising drug for
treating small AAAs and supports its underlying clinical use in small AAAs.

Published: January 2024

Background:
Perillyl alcohol (POH) is a monoterpenoid found in plant essential
oils and has been shown to relax murine vessels, but its effect on human vessels remains
poorly studied.

Objective:
The study aimed to characterize the effect of POH on human umbilical arteries
(HUA).

Methods:
Rings of HUA were obtained from uncomplicated patients and suspended in
an organ bath for isometric recording. The vasorelaxant effect of POH in HUA was evaluated
on basal tone and electromechanical or pharmacomechanical contractions, and possible
mechanisms of action were also investigated.

Results:
POH (1-1000 μM) altered the basal tone of HUA and completely relaxed HUA
rings precontracted with KCl (60 mM) or 5-HT (10 μM), obtaining greater potency in
the pharmacomechanical pathway (EC50 110.1 μM), suggesting a complex interference
in the mobilization of extra- and intracellular Ca2+. POH (1000 μM) inhibited contractions
induced by BaCl2 (0.1-30 mM) in a similar way to nifedipine (10 μM), indicating a
possible blockade of L-type VOCC. In the presence of potassium channel blockers, tetraethylammonium
(1 mM), 4-aminopyridine (1 mM), or glibenclamide (10 μM), an increase
in the EC50 value of the POH was observed, suggesting a modulation of the activity
of BKCa, KV, and KATP channels.

Conclusion:
The data from this study suggest that POH modulates Ca2+ and K+ ion channels
to induce a relaxant response in HUA.
Developments of Fms-like Tyrosine Kinase 3 Inhibitors as Anticancer
Agents for AML Treatment
Authors: Ma Chenchen , Cui Siyuan , Xu Ruirong 
Published: January 2024

Background:
FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is a commonly mutated
gene in acute myeloid leukemia. As a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), FLT3 plays a role
in the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. As the most frequent
molecular alteration in AML, FLT3 has drawn the attention of many researchers, and a
lot of small molecule inhibitors targeting FLT3 have been intensively investigated as potential
drugs for AML therapy.

Methods:
In this paper, PubMed and SciFinder® were used as a tool; the publications
about “FLT3 inhibitor” and “Acute myeloid leukemia” were surveyed from 2014 to the
present with an exclusion of those published as patents.

Results:
In this study, the structural characterization and biological activities of representative
FLT3 inhibitors were summarized. The major challenges and future directions for
further research are discussed.

Conclusion:
Recently, numerous FLT3 inhibitors have been discovered and employed
in FLT3-mutated AML treatment. In order to overcome the drug resistance caused by
FLT3 mutations, screening multitargets FLT3 inhibitors has become the main research
direction. In addition, the emergence of irreversible FLT3 inhibitors also provides new
ideas for discovering new FLT3 inhibitors.
