Mallestigite, Pb3Sb(SO4)(AsO4)(OH)6·3H2O, from the type locality – new data, crystal structure, and structural relationships
Authors: Mereiter Kurt , Walter Franz , Bojar Hans-Peter 
Published: September 2023

AbstractA report of the supergene mineral mallestigite, Pb3Sb5+(SO4)(AsO4)(OH)6·3H2O, from the type locality Neufinkenstein-Grabanz district, Mallestiger Mittagskogel, Carinthia, Austria, is given in order to close gaps that have been left open since its first description. At the type locality, the dump of an abandoned small copper-lead-zinc mine, the mineral occurs frequently in up to ⁓2 mm long clear colourless idiomorphic hexagonal prisms {100} terminated by the bipyramid {101}. Details of the occurrence, paragenesis, physical properties, a FTIR spectrum and X-ray powder diffraction data are reported. Chemical analysis in a scanning electron microscope in conjunction with a crystal structure analysis gave the empirical formula Pb3.02Sb1.06(SO4)0.96(AsO4)0.97(OH)6·3H2O. An ab-initio crystal structure determination with CCD diffractometer data, MoKα radiation, and a nearly untwinned crystal proved that mallestigite is hexagonal, space group P63, a = 8.9326(4), c = 11.1044(5) Å, V = 767.33(8) Å3, Z = 2, and gave a final R1 = 0.0184 for 1632 independent reflections with I > 2σ(I). Mallestigite belongs to the fleischerite group. The structure is built up from [Sb5+(OH)6]1– octahedra which are linked by triplets of edge-sharing Pb2+ into chains [Pb3Sb(OH)6]5+ extending along a 63 axis. Each three of such chains are bridged by triplets of H2O and by rows of SO42– and AsO43– tetrahedra alternating along a 3-fold axis and showing very different links to the Pb atom. Pb2+ is in a strongly distorted one-sided [9]-coordination by O atoms that makes the structure clearly hemimorphic. Structural relationships to the fleischerite group minerals schaurteite, genplesite, despujolsite and fleischerite as well as to synthetic Ba3Sn4+(SeO4)2(OH)6·3H2O are outlined and changes in the space group symmetry of despujolsite (P$$\overline6$$

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe isolation of lipid-rich cellulolytic fungi was targeted to be investigated as bioflocculant agents for microalgae harvesting. The fungal isolate coded MD1 was selected based on its lipid content, cellulolytic activity, and its harvesting efficiency for the freshwater oleaginous microalga Chlorella sp. The selected fungus which was molecularly identified as Aspergillus terreus has been applied as bioflocculant after solid state cultivation on pre-treated rice straw (as abundant agro-cellulosic waste). Optimization of harvesting efficiency of Chlorella microalga using A. terreus/rice straw biomass as the “bioflocculant” was investigated. The optimization conditions included microalga/bioflocculant ratio, microalgal age, contact time between the bioflocculant and the microalga, pH of microalgal culture at harvesting time, and cell density of microalgal culture. The obtained results revealed that the harvesting efficiency could reach 97.6% due to 24 h as contact time at 30% flocculant/microalga ratio and pH 7. While after 2 h contact time, 93.3% harvesting efficiency could be obtained using the same bioflocculant:microalga ratio at pH 6. The lipid extracted from harvested Chlorella/A. terreus mixture was applied to produce biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester) after methylation. The resulted biodiesel contains high percentage (67.2%) of C18:1,2 unsaturated fatty acids which is considered a suitable fraction for biodiesel production. Obtained results revealed the suitability of the novel A. terreus strain as sustainable bioflocculation agent to harvest microalga(e) for biofuel production.
Motion Primitive Approach to Spacecraft Trajectory Design in a Multi-body System
Authors: Smith Thomas R. , Bosanac Natasha 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe increasing number and variety of spacecraft that are expected to operate within cislunar space and other multi-body gravitational environments throughout the solar system necessitates the continued development of strategies for rapid trajectory design and design space exploration. In the field of robotics, similar needs have been addressed using motion primitives that capture the fundamental building blocks of motion and are used to rapidly construct complex paths. Inspired by this concept, this paper leverages motion primitives to construct a framework for rapid and informed spacecraft trajectory design in a multi-body gravitational system. First, motion primitives of fundamental solutions, e.g., selected periodic orbits and their stable and unstable manifolds, are generated via clustering to form a discrete summary of segments of the phase space. Graphs of motion primitives are then constructed and searched to produce primitive sequences that form candidate initial guesses for transfers of distinct geometries. Continuous transfers are computed from each initial guess using multi-objective constrained optimization and collocation. This approach is demonstrated by constructing an array of geometrically distinct transfers between libration point orbits in the Earth-Moon circular restricted three-body problem with impulsive maneuvers.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this review is to examine the current evidence on the potential role of Mediterranean diet (MD) in the prevention and management of endocrine disorders and to highlight the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between endocrinologists and nutritionists.

Methods
A literature search was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar databases to identify relevant studies published in English. Studies were selected based on their relevance to the role of MD in the prevention and management of endocrine disorders. The search terms included "Mediterranean diet," "endocrine disorders," "thyroid disorders," "gonadal disorders," and "neuroendocrine tumors".

Results
The studies reviewed suggest that MD may have a beneficial effect in the prevention and management of various endocrine disorders, including thyroid disorders, gonadal disorders, and neuroendocrine tumors. MD has been associated with decreased risk of nodular thyroid disease and thyroid cancer, improved male and female reproductive health, and a potential role in the management of neuroendocrine tumors. MD's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, as well as its high levels of phytochemicals, may play a role in its beneficial effects.

Conclusion
Interdisciplinary collaboration between endocrinologists and nutritionists is essential for the optimal management of endocrine disorders, including the potential role of MD in their prevention and management. While further research is needed, the current evidence suggests that MD may have a protective effect against endocrine disorders, and its incorporation into dietary recommendations may be beneficial.
Compact eight-element MIMO antenna array for sub 6 GHz Mobile applications
Authors: Morsy Mohamed M. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractA compact eight-element multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna array operating at the sub-6-GHz (LTE band 52) for the 5G handheld applications is proposed. The antenna array is realized by employing eight couple-fed slots etched on the ground plane of the MIMO antenna system. The size of the slot radiators excites the required operating bandwidth. A parametric analysis study of the effect of varying the size of the slot radiators on the ground plane is provided to give some insight into the operation of the proposed antenna system. The radiators are excited by 50-Ω strip lines. Rectangular-shaped slits are used as isolation structures to mitigate the mutual coupling effect between elements, resulting in a low Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) of less than 0.1 at the operating bandwidth. The proposed MIMO antenna was fabricated and experimentally validated. The measured and simulated results are in good agreement. Other MIMO performance indicators, such as radiation patterns, Mean Effective Gain (MEG), and the proposed MIMO antenna system’s total efficiencies, are being analyzed. Measurements and simulation results are consistent, which shows that the proposed antenna is a good candidate for 5G applications in the LTE band 52.
Creating and Contesting Kyniska: The Reception of the First Female Olympic Victor
Authors: Carrara Eva 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis article examines the historical creation of the legacy of Kyniska, the Spartan royal who was the first woman to win at the ancient Olympics in the early fourth century BCE, from her own lifetime to the modern era. By investigating the reception of her victory rather than her agency as historical actor, I demonstrate that the continuing relevance of her victory has depended on others’ literary, historical, or political goals. I examine the creation and contestation of Kyniska's victory at five key moments of reception: 1) in the narratives of Xenophon, Plutarch, and Pausanias; 2) in her own victory monument; 3) in poetry commemorating Hellenistic rulers; 4) in feminist didactic biography of the nineteenth century; and 5) in the debates surrounding the modern Olympics. These moments reveal how her victory's reception has contributed to ancient and modern discourses on womanhood and gender. By contextualising Kyniska in each of these distinct eras and environments, I suggest that the perception of her victory has never been monolithic, not even in the ancient world.
Predicting dairy herd resilience on farms with conventional milking systems
Authors: Rikkers Roxann S. C. , Ducro Bart J. , van Binsbergen Rianne , Kamphuis Claudia 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis research paper addresses the problem that, thus far, there is no method available to predict herd resilience for farms that do not use automated milking systems (AMS). Recently, a methodology was developed to estimate both individual cow as well as herd resilience using daily milk yield observations at individual cow level from farms with AMS. This AMS-based method, however, is not suitable on farms that use conventional milking systems (CMS) where such individual cow milk yield observations are lacking. Therefore, this research aimed at predicting herd resilience using herd performance data that is commonly available on CMS farms. To do so, data consisting of 585 Dutch AMS farms where herd resilience estimates using the AMS-based method were available was examined. To predict herd resilience with herd performance data, only those data that are also commonly available on CMS farms were used in a 5-fold cross validation Random Forest model. These herd resilience estimates were subsequently compared with the AMS-based herd resilience estimates. Results showed that it is possible to predict with a 69.9% probability whether a herd performs with above or below average herd resilience using only variables available on CMS farms. Especially, the proportion of cows with an indication of rumen acidosis, proportion of cows with an elevated somatic cell count and the fluctuation in herd size over the years are good predictors of herd resilience. Since herd management decisions appear to affect herd resilience, a lower predicted herd resilience could be taken as a general indication that tactical or strategic management changes could be taken to improve the herd resilience.
Causal dispositionalism in behaviour genetics
Authors: Cerezo María 
Published: September 2023

AbstractCausal dispositionalism developed in metaphysics of science offers a useful tool to conceptualize shallow causes in behaviour genetics, in a way such that (a) it accounts for complex aetiology and heterogeneity of effects, and (b) genetic causal contribution can be considered to be explanatory. Genes are thus causal powers that make a difference.
Behavior genetics: Causality as a dialectical pursuit
Authors: Tarchi Livio , Merola Giuseppe Pierpaolo , Castellini Giovanni , Ricca Valdo 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The overarching theme of causality in behavioral genetics is discussed on epistemological grounds. Evidence is offered in favor of a continuum spectrum in causality, in contrast to discrimination between causal factors and associations. The risk of invalidating exploratory studies in behavior genetics is discussed, especially for the potential impact on those fields of medicine interested in complex behaviors.
Downward causation and vertical pleiotropy
Authors: Charney Evan 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In discussing the relationship between genetically influenced differences and educational attainment (EA), Burt employs the concept of downward causation. I note the similarities between Burt's concept of downward causation and the sociogenomics concept of vertical pleiotropy and argue that her discussion of downward causation introduces an unnecessary normative component. The core problem concerns not the appropriateness of phenotypes that influence EA but mistaken assumptions about which phenotypes are being predicted.
Methodological question-begging about the causes of complex social traits
Authors: Richters John E. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Burt formulates her critique at a general level of abstraction that highlights the methodological deficiencies of sociogenomics without also calling attention to precisely the same deficiencies in the social science model she seeks to defend against its encroachments. What might have been a methodological bulwark against the excesses of sociogenomics is instead a one-sided critique that merely renews its charter.
Auditing causality of the multiple-burden of malnutrition in India and South Africa: a critical need for directions
Authors: Jeyakumar Angeline , Kesa Hema , Godbharle Swapnil 
Published: September 2023

AbstractDeveloping economies are shaped by the current predicament of urbanisation and its impact on health is inevitable. In the post-pandemic times, India and South Africa witnessed a GDP growth rate of about 1·7 % and 1·9 %, respectively, while the developed economies like Europe and the USA have bounced back with more than 2 % GDP. The similarities and differences between India and South Africa provide potential candidates to study nutrition transition with the elements of urbanisation. In both countries, increased access to convenience foods is a consequence of the rapid expansion of small and medium enterprises, open international markets and expanding food supply chains. Also, there has been significant acculturation and people have moved away from traditional diets in these two countries. A spate of similar changes in the food environment is a telling sign of serious ill-health consequences in both countries. Generating evidence on causality is fundamental to informing policy. India and South Africa qualify as potential candidates to study the multiple burdens of malnutrition. Collaborating with different disciplines such as data sciences and capacitating analytic skills are key to progress in this direction.
RAD@home RGB-maker web-tool for citizen science research in multi-wavelength study of AGNs with radio jets
Authors: Kumar Avinash , Avinash Ck. , Purohit Arundhati , Hota Ananda 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe RAD@home RGB-maker Tool is a python-based web application that enables citizen science research through collaboration using open-source technology. The tool fetches FITS image data from NASA SkyView and generates false colour images in Red-Green-Blue channels with contour. This helps in the basic multi-wavelength understanding and characterization of extragalactic objects, and further analysis along with reporting of potential new discoveries in a uniform format. Students from Universities or science-graduate citizens gain skills in RGB-C image analysis and identify unique features in objects via either one-day online-weekend events or week-long in-person training. Trained citizen scientists in turn are part of rare discoveries such as the jet-galaxy interaction system RAD12. The tool has been successfully used by thousands of citizen scientists in India since its launch on 26th January 2021 and has demonstrated the potential during IAU symposium 375 to be part of citizen science efforts with international participants.
RAD@home Inter-University Collaboratory for citizen science in galaxy evolution with multi wavelength RGB images
Authors: Rajoria Megha , Purohit Arundhati , Hota Ananda 
Published: September 2023

AbstractUnlike most web-based citizen science programmes, RAD@home citizen scientists are trained in an interactive manner, both online and in person. This Collaboratory model can alleviate various geo-political and socio-economic constraints on the growth of people in underdeveloped regions which is in synergy with mandates of the IAU Office of Astronomy for Development. Owing to its Inter-University collaboratory design, supported by over 30 research institutions, it can attempt to convert the ‘Big Data Problem’ into a ‘Big Data Prospect’ by direct training and involving citizens in discoveries from multi-telescope data. Using the RAD-RGB-maker web-tool, e-astronomers learn the basics of multi-wavelength (UV-optical-IR-radio) extragalactic astronomy and create preliminary discovery reports of unusual radio sources thus becoming Co-Investigator in follow-up observations and publications (e.g. Discovery of RAD12). International expansion of RAD@home has been initiated during the recent IAU symposium 375 through its Educational and Outreach programme.

Published: September 2023

AbstractBlazars are the most numerous type of observed high-energy gamma-ray emitters. However, their emission mechanisms and population properties are still not well-understood. Crucial to this understanding are their cosmological redshifts, which are often not easy to obtain. This presents a great challenge to the next-generation ground-based observatory for very-high-energy gamma rays, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), which aims to detect a large number of distant blazars to study their intrinsic emission properties and to place tight constraints on the extragalactic background light density, amongst others. The successful investigation of these subjects needs a precise redshift determination. Motivated by these challenges, the CTA redshift task force initiated more than 3 years ago a spectroscopic observing program using some of the largest optical and infrared telescopes to measure the redshifts of a large fraction of blazars that are likely to be detected with CTA. In this proceedings, we give an overview of the CTA redshift task force, discuss some of the difficulties associated with measuring the redshifts of blazars and present our sample selection and observing strategies. We end the proceedings with reporting selected results from the program, the on-going collaborative efforts and our plans for the future.
Extragalactic Jets from Radio to Gamma-rays
Authors: Meyer E. , Shaik A. , Reddy K. , Georganopoulos M. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractDespite the fact that jets from black holes were first understood to exist over 40 years ago, we are still in ignorance about many primary aspects of these systems – including the radiation mechanism at high energies, the particle makeup of the jets, and how particles are accelerated, possibly to energies as high as 100 TeV and hundreds of kpc from the central engine. We focus in particular on the discovery (and mystery) of strong X-ray emission from radio jets on kpc-scales, enabled by the unequaled high resolution of the Chandra X-ray observatory. We review the main evidence for and against the viable models to explain this X-ray emission over the last 20 years. Finally, we present results of a recent study on the X-ray variability of kpc-scale jets, where we find evidence that between 30-100% of the X-ray jet population is variable at the tens-of-percent level. The short (∼years) variability timescale is incompatible with the IC/CMB model for the X-rays and implies extremely small structures embedded within the kpc-scale jet, and thus requires a reconsideration of many assumptions about jet structure and dynamics.
