Analytical solution approach for geomechanical response of 3-D geological model
Authors: Yan Hong , Park Joonsang , Fjær Erling , Holt Rune Martin 
Published: January 2025

SUMMARY
Understanding geomechanical response to pore pressure changes in subsurface structures is crucial for safe drilling and carbon storage operations. One of the most recognized analytical geomechanical models to understand overburden geomechanical responses to reservoir pore pressure changes is Geertsma's analytical solution, which used the ‘nucleus of strain’ concept to quantify displacements and changes in stress field in the surroundings as a result of reservoir depletion. However, the Geertsma solution is limited to isotropic conditions, no contrast between reservoir and surroundings, and homogeneous pore pressure changes, which do not fully capture heterogeneity and anisotropy of real-world subsurface with horizontally layered structures. Shale, as one of the most common caprock, exhibits vertically transverse isotropic (VTI) properties. Our work aims to enhance the ability of analytical modelling to accommodate more realistic scenarios for considering topographic changes in the subsurface. It is based on a semi-analytical solution that extends the Geertsma solution to accommodate static VTI properties with five independent elastic stiffnesses in the surroundings of the reservoir. This extension significantly enhances the ability of the model to represent the vertical stiffness variations characteristic of realistic subsurface conditions. We have applied the extended Geertsma solution through linear superposition to adapt our model for practical use in scenarios with inhomogeneous pore pressure distributions and 3-D variations in rock stiffness. We validated deformation results from our linear superposition approach by comparing them with those from a finite element numerical method under multiple scenarios. This helped evaluate the performance of the approach and identify its key limitations. After validation, we applied our approach to the Valhall field, which is known for its significant subsidence and considering complex topography. The practical application highlighted the approach's capability to accurately model realistic subsidence changes, demonstrating its utility for complex geomechanical assessments and the potential to be linked with geophysical monitoring.
Beyond the disclosure debate in donor-conception: how do we help families to discuss origin stories with their children?
Authors: Navarro-Marshall Javiera 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Families have been subject to enormous transformations with the emergence of artificial reproductive technology and the appearance of donor-conceived children. These new families are challenged to disclose origins with their children and parents feel concern that conception stories might have an emotional impact on their children. Fertility counsellors still feel ill-equipped on what to recommend to parents because developmental psychology has not designed systematic evidence-based guidelines to address a three-dimensional matter: ‘what’, ‘when’, and ‘how’ to discuss conception stories. The argument developed herein is that professionals working with families in fertility clinics, could benefit from understanding these new family conversational processes of origin storytelling from these three perspectives, not only on ‘what’ and ‘when’ but also on the less elaborated ‘how’ to talk about it. For this purpose, understanding elaborative reminiscing as a specific way of talking about the past that helps children to build autobiographical memories and develop their identity might be key.

Whose Testimony? Thinking about Other-Than-Human Witnesses in Transitional Justice
Authors: Clark Janine Natalya 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
Witnesses play a crucial role in transitional justice processes. Existing scholarship, however, has focused exclusively on human witnesses. This interdisciplinary article does something different, analyzing the significance of other-than-human witnesses – and in particular trees. While it is not the first to problematize the fact that transitional justice is heavily anthropocentric, its novel emphasis on witnessing differentiates it from other critical transitional justice research which has mainly discussed ‘nature’ as a victim. To focus on more-than-human worlds as witnesses is not, to be clear, about detracting from the harms that they suffer during war and armed conflict. It is about accentuating their agency and exploring ways of doing justice not just for them but, also, with them. Drawing on Indigenous knowledges and conceptualizing witnessing as a deeply relational process that necessitates attentiveness and openness to more-than-human worlds, the article also thus makes an original contribution to discussions about decolonizing the field of transitional justice.
The multifunctional fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium enriches metabolites while degrading seed mucilage of a sand-fixing shrub

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Aims
The sand-fixing desert shrub Artemisia sphaerocephala produces a large amount of seed mucilage, which plays crucial roles in the adaptation of this species to desert environments. Seed mucilage has been shown to be degraded by Phanerochaete chrysosporium from habitat soils, but the process and products of this degradation remain unclear. To fill this gap, we explored the factors and processes involved in mucilage degradation.

Methods and results
We found that P. chrysosporium had the ability to produce iron carriers and to solubilize potassium and phosphorus. Mucilage degradation was affected by multiple factors, and the optimum conditions for mucilage degradation were 30°C, pH 4.5, 10 ml of fungal solution, and 1.0 g of mucilage substrate, with a degradation rate of 93.04% ± 4.87% at 20 days. The untargeted metabolome screened 300 significantly different metabolites during mucilage degradation, of which 291 were upregulated and 9 downregulated. The main degradation products were organoxides, lipids, lipid-like molecules, phenylpropanoids, polyketides, and organic acids. The most significantly affected pathway was the valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthetic pathway.

Conclusions
Our study has elucidated the mucilage degradation process and metabolites, which may help us to better understand the ecological functions of seed mucilage and the mechanisms of plant–microbe interactions in deserts.
A large-scale multiview point cloud registration method based on distance statistical distribution of weak features

Published: January 2025

Abstract
There are issues such as poor layered smoothness, model distortion, and error accumulation in the process of large-scale weak feature point cloud stitching and registration. This paper proposes a precise point cloud registration method based on distance statistical distribution. By summarizing and statistically analyzing the distance thresholds during the iterative process, it accurately determines the closest points for point cloud registration, thus avoiding the problem of low registration accuracy caused by manually setting distance thresholds. By statistically analyzing the distance intervals of corresponding points in the point cloud to eliminate erroneous correspondences and utilizing pose graph optimization for global pose, this method ensures the smoothness and accuracy of point cloud registration. Experiments have validated the effectiveness of this method. Comparative experiments have demonstrated that this method surpasses traditional point cloud registration methods in terms of accuracy, convergence, and robustness.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), is the most important widespread pest in olive-growing areas worldwide, causing significant yield losses and deterioration of olive oil quality. This study hypothesized that olive cultivars differ in their susceptibility to B.oleae and that the cultivar in which the pest develops may affect population variability. The primary goal was to assess susceptibility across 6 olive cultivars, while the secondary goal was to analyze population variability using geometric morphometrics to identify cultivar-specific phenotypic differences. Conducted at 2 sites, Banjevci (Dalmatia) and Vodnjan (Istria), the study revealed significant differences in infestation levels, emergence, and wing morphology. Higher humidity in Vodnjan favored increased fly populations. Larger-fruited cultivars such as Oblica, Istarska bjelica, and Ascolana tenera experienced higher infestation rates, whereas smaller-fruited cultivars like Frantoio and Leccino exhibited lower infestation levels. Wing shape analysis highlighted sexual dimorphism, with female flies exhibiting broader wings that may enhance dispersal and oviposition efficiency, particularly in larger fruits. The observed phenotypic plasticity of B. oleae across cultivars and locations indicates an ability to adapt to varied host and cultivation conditions, enhancing pest resilience. The findings underscore the role of cultivar selection as a passive pest management strategy and demonstrate the utility of geometric morphometrics in capturing cultivar-specific morphological adaptations.

Abstract
Quantification of neutrophil counts is the most relevant assessment of cellular immunity in clinical practice. Patients with neutropenia are considered at risk and are categorized according to its severity. The incidence of febrile neutropenia varies, but patients with acute myeloid leukemia are traditionally considered at high risk, especially following myelotoxic treatments. To provide additional functional parameters, we investigated the ex vivo migration properties and morphology of neutrophils in 10 patients with acute myeloid leukemia using single-cell video-microscopy and discovered, in addition to neutropenia, highly pathological neutrophil migration patterns and polarization defects in patients with untreated acute myeloid leukemia. Neutrophil speed was the most sensitive parameter and significantly lower at leukemia diagnosis (9.067 vs 15.810 µm/min, P = 0.0025) compared to healthy controls (n = 46). Hematological remission was associated with improved neutrophil migration profiles, but these ultimately normalized only after hematopoietic cell transplantation. Five patients were followed up for long-term effects of hematopoietic cell transplantation for up to 24 mo. This is the first longitudinal ex vivo neutrophil migration study in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, followed by allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. It identified functional neutrophil impairments beyond routine quantitative assessments, adding to the well-known quantitative impairment of neutropenia. HCT can reestablish functional neutrophils with healthy migration profiles in these patients.
Mini-review: occupational health topics series on the effects of chemicals. Occupational cholangiocarcinoma incident
Authors: Kumagai Shinji 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In 2012, a social issue arose concerning a high incidence of cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) among printing workers. The cause was prolonged exposure to high concentrations of 1,2-dichloropropane that was included in the ink cleaning agent. Until then, it was not known that this substance could cause cancer in humans. The author was involved in this incident from the beginning. This article describes the course from the start of the investigation to the recognition of cholangiocarcinoma as an occupational disease. Furthermore, the article presents the pathological characteristics of occupational cholangiocarcinoma, as well as epidemiological analysis results.
Rotational rate coefficients computation of MgS(X1Σ+) in collision with He(1S)
Authors: Yazidi O , Khadri F , Elabidi H , Hammami K 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
Given its abundance in the interstellar medium recently justified by astronomical observations, the chemistry and reactivity of the metal-bearing molecule MgS require special attention. The availability of up-to-date collision data between this MgS molecule and the most abundant perturbing species H$_2$ and He in the interstellar medium is an essential resource to derive reliable values of its molecular abundance from astronomical observations. This work aims to provide improved scattering parameters for the MgS molecular system in collision with He. A new 2D potential energy surface (2D-PES) is derived by adopting the state-of-the-art level of theory of the explicitly correlated coupled cluster with single, double, and perturbative triple excitations (RCCSD(T)-F12) method in conjunction with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets. This PES was used to calculate inelastic cross-sections within the framework of the close-coupling (CC) theory for total energies $\le 500$ cm$^{-1}$ and J$\le 21$. Using the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution of kinetic energies, these cross-sections were integrated to generate the collisional (de)-excitation rate coefficients for temperatures below 100 K. We expect that the new rate coefficients will help us to analyse present and future observations of this key molecule for the interstellar chemistry.
Prospects of a statistical detection of the 21-cm forest and its potential to constrain the thermal state of the neutral IGM during reionization
Authors: Šoltinský Tomáš , Kulkarni Girish , Tendulkar Shriharsh P , Bolton James S 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
The 21-cm forest signal is a promising probe of the Epoch of Reionization complementary to other 21-cm line observables and Ly$\alpha$ forest signal. Prospects of detecting it have significantly improved in the last decade thanks to the discovery of more than 30 radio-loud quasars at these redshifts, upgrades to telescope facilities, and the notion that neutral hydrogen islands persist down to $z\lesssim 5.5$. We forward-model the 21-cm forest signal using seminumerical simulations and incorporate various instrumental features to explore the potential of detecting the 21-cm forest at $z=6$, both directly and statistically, with the currently available (uGMRT) and forthcoming (SKA1-low) observatories. We show that it is possible to detect the 1D power spectrum of the 21-cm forest spectrum, especially at large scales of $k\lesssim 8.5\, \rm MHz^{-1}$ with the 500 hr of the uGMRT time and $k\lesssim 32.4\, \rm MHz^{-1}$ with the SKA1-low over 50 hr if the intergalactic medium (IGM) is 25 per cent neutral and these neutral hydrogen regions have a spin temperature of $\lesssim 30\, \rm K$. On the other hand, we infer that a null-detection of the signal with such observations of 10 radio-loud sources at $z\approx 6$ can be translated into constraints on the thermal and ionization state of the IGM which are tighter than the currently available measurements. Moreover, a null-detection of the 1D 21-cm forest power spectrum with only 50 hr of the uGMRT observations of 10 radio-loud sources can already be competitive with the Ly$\alpha$ forest and 21-cm tomographic observations in disfavouring models of significantly neutral and cold IGM at $z=6$.
Gravitational waves from r-mode oscillations of stochastically accreting neutron stars
Authors: Dong Wenhao , Melatos Andrew 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
r-mode oscillations in rotating neutron stars are a source of continuous gravitational radiation. We investigate the excitation of r-modes by the mechanical impact on the neutron star surface of stochastically accreted clumps of matter, assuming that the Chandrasekhar–Friedman–Schutz instability is not triggered. The star is idealized as a slowly rotating, unmagnetized, one-component fluid with a barotropic equation of state in Newtonian gravity. It is found that the r-mode amplitude depends weakly on the equation of state but sensitively on the rotation frequency $\nu _{\rm s}$. The gravitational wave strain implicitly depends on the equation of state through the damping time-scale. The root-mean-square strain is $h_{\rm rms} \approx 10^{-35} (\nu _{\rm s}/ 10\, {\rm Hz})^{2} (R_*/10\, {\rm km})^2 (\Delta t_{\rm acc}/1\, {\rm yr})^{1/2} (f_{\rm acc}/1\, {\rm kHz})^{-1/2} (\dot{M}/10^{-8}\text{M}_{\odot } \, \text{yr}^{-1}) (v/0.4c) (d/1\, {\rm kpc})^{-1}$, which is comparable to the strain from g-, p-, and f-modes excited by stochastic accretion, where $R_*$ is the radius of the star, $\Delta t_{\rm acc}$ is the uninterrupted duration of an accretion episode, $f_{\rm acc}$ is the mean clump impact frequency, $\dot{M}$ is the accretion rate, v is the impact speed, and d is the distance of the star from the Earth. An observational test is proposed, based on the temporal autocorrelation function of the gravitational wave signal, to discern whether the Chandrasekhar–Friedman–Schutz instability switches on and coexists with impact-excited r-modes before or during a gravitational wave observation.

Authors: Ha Jang Woo , Song Jason Jungsik , Park Yong-Beom , Lee Sang-Won 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

Objectives
We applied the 2022 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European Alliance of Association for Rheumatology (EULAR) criteria to Korean patients previously diagnosed with giant cell arteritis (GCA) according to the 1990 ACR criteria and validated its clinical efficiency.

Methods
Nine patients with GCA were included. The proportion of patients meeting each item of the 1990 ACR criteria and the 2022 ACR/EULAR criteria were assessed.

Results
The median age was 65.0 years, and 77.8% of the patients were women. Seven (77.8%) patients had polymyalgia rheumatica. All nine patients were reclassified as having GCA according to the 2022 ACR/EULAR criteria. Among the 10 items of the 2022 ACR/EULAR criteria, the item contributing the most to the reclassification was elevated acute-phase reactant levels (100%), followed by new temporal headache (77.8%) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography activity throughout the aorta (77.5%).

Conclusions
In this study, for the first time, we demonstrated a concordance rate of 100% between the two criteria in Korean patients previously diagnosed with GCA. Moreover, we also clarified the major contributors to the reclassification according to the 2022 ACR/EULAR criteria.
BK Polyomavirus-associated nephropathy – diagnostic and treatment standard
Authors: Al-Talib Mohammed , Welberry-Smith Matthew , Macdonald Andrew , Griffin Siân 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is recognised as a significant viral complication of kidney transplantation. Prompt immunosuppression reduction reduces early graft failure rates due to BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN), however modulation of immunosuppression can lead to acute rejection. Medium-to-long term graft outcomes are negatively impacted by BKPyVAN, likely due to a combination of virus-induced graft damage and host immune responses against graft alloantigens potentiated by immunosuppression reduction. Kidney biopsy remains the gold-standard diagnostic test, however false negative findings are common due to the focal nature of BKPyVAN. BKPyV DNAemia, as measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), is established as a screening test but there is at present no (inter)national standardisation of these assays to allow collation and comparison of data between centres. Randomised controlled trials are lacking both in terms of optimal immunosuppression reduction strategies, and for the medications variably used to attempt treatment in clinical practice. Much of the fundamental biology of BKPyV is not yet understood, and further elucidation is required to promote rational direct-acting antiviral drug design. Insights into the role of adaptive immunity in control of BKPyV have informed the design of novel treatments such as adoptive immunotherapies and neutralizing antibodies which require evaluation in clinical studies. Here, we review the current standards of diagnosis and treatment of BKPyVAN and discuss novel developments in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, outcome prediction and management.
