Authors: Han RuFeng , Zhang Long , Niu TianHong , Ke Biao , Li Rui 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Aimed at the object of the recoil minimization of a cased telescoped ammunition (CTA) gun with the soft recoil system, a dynamic model was establishedbased on the characteristics and the assumptions of the fire-out-of-battery(FOOB) principle and dynamic characteristics were obtained by Adams simulation analysis. Based on these results, an optimization model was established to reduce the recoil, and the key parameters of the firing platform were optimized by the optimization algorithm. The simulation results show that the maximum recoil was reduced about 10% without affecting system performance, which effectively improved the firing stability and the overall performance of the weapon system.
Emergent geometry, torsion and anomalies in non-relativistic topological matter
Authors: Nissinen Jaakko 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
I review and discuss aspects of the interplay of emergent geometry and anomalies in topological semimetals and insulators, focusing on effects of torsion. This correspondence identifies torsional topological responses in terms of anomalies and anomaly related hydrodynamic phenomena involving gauge fields and geometry. I discuss how torsional emergent geometry arises from elastic deformations in crystalline materials and how this background couples to thee low-energy continuum models inherited from lattice models, utilizing the semiclassical expansion. Via the coupling of momentum space topology and emergent vielbein geometry, non-relativistic topological matter can realise new geometrical responses of mixed gauge-gravitational character. The topological low-energy torsional responses depend momentum space geometry, lattice momenta and the regularization and UV completion, provided by the non-relativistic physics and symmetries of topological materials.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
We review recent discussions regarding the parity-odd contribution to the trace anomaly of a chiral fermion. We pay special attention to the perturbative approach in terms of Feynman diagrams, comparing in detail the results obtained using dimensional regularization and the Breitenlohner–Maison prescription with other approaches.
Dynamics of strongly-coupled chiral gauge theories
Authors: Bolognesi Stefano , Konishi Kenichi , Luzio Andrea 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We study the dynamics of SU(N) chiral gauge theories with massless fermions belonging to various combinations of the symmetric, antisymmetric or fundamental representations. We limit ourselves to the gauge-anomaly-free and asymptotically free systems. These theories have a global symmetry group with the associated ’t Hooft anomaly-matching conditions severely limiting the possible RG flows. Recent developments on the applications of the generalized symmetries and the stronger requirement of the matching of the mixed anomalies also give further indications on the possible IR dynamics. In vectorlike theories such as the quantum chromodynamics (QCD), gauge-invariant “quark-antiquark” condensates form and characterize the IR dynamics, and the anomaly matching involves the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) bosons. In some other special cases, such as the Bars-Yankielowicz (BY) or Georgi-Glashow (GG) models, a hypothetical solution was proposed in the literature, with no global symmetry breaking and with some simple set of composite massless fermions saturating all the anomalies. For the BY and GG systems, actually, a more plausible candidate for their IR physics is the dynamical Higgs phase, with a few simple bi-fermion color-flavor locked condensates, breaking the color and flavor symmetries, partially or totally. Remarkably, the ’t Hooft anomaly-matching (and generalized anomaly-matching) conditions are automatically satisfied in this phase. Another interesting possibility, occurring in some chiral gauge theories, is dynamical Abelianization, familiar from N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories. We explore here even more general types of possible IR phases than the ones mentioned above, for wider classes of models. With the help of large-N arguments we look for IR free theories, whereas the MAC (maximal attractive channel) criterion might suggest some simple bi-fermion condensates characterizing the IR dynamics of the systems. In many cases the low-energy effective theories are found to be described by quiver-like gauge theories, some of the (nonAbelian) gauge groups are infrared-free while some others might be asymptotically free.
Superradiance and quantum states on black hole space-times
Authors: Balakumar Visakan , Bernar Rafael , Winstanley Elizabeth 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We consider the definition of the Boulware and Hartle-Hawking states for quantum fields on black hole space-times. The properties of these states on a Schwarzschild black hole have been understood for many years, but neither of these states has a direct analogue on a Kerr black hole. We show how superradiant modes play an important role in the definition of quantum states on Kerr. Superradiance is also present on static black hole space-times, in particular for a charged scalar field on a Reissner-Nordström black hole. We explore whether analogues of the Boulware and Hartle-Hawking states exist in this situation.
Scale-invariant inflation
Authors: Rinaldi M , Cecchini C , Ghoshal A , Mukherjee D 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We examine a scalar-tensor model of gravity that is globally scale-invariant. When adapted to a spatially flat Robertson-Walker metric, the equations of motion describe a dynamical system that flows from an unstable de Sitter space to a stable one. We show that during this transition inflation can occur. Moreover, at the final fixed point, a mass scale naturally emerges that can be identified with the Planck mass. We compute the inflationary spectral indices and the tensor perturbation and we compare them with observations. We also study the possibility that primordial magnetic fields are generated during inflation.
Mining the quantum vacuum: quantum tunnelling and particle creation
Authors: Moss Ian G. , Stasiak Piotr Z. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Particle production from the vacuum is a remarkable aspect of particle physics. Prime examples are the Schwinger process of particle production in strong electric fields and the Hawking process of particle production from black holes. These processes can be viewed as quantum tunnelling of particles from the vacuum. The tunnelling approach, and the closely related instanton or complex path approaches, are reviewed here with emphasis on paths in the complex coordinate plane. The method is applied to particle production from a black hole in a magnetic field, where ultra-high energy charged particles are produced.
Introduction to gravitational redshift of quantum photons propagating in curved spacetime
Authors: Alanís Rodríguez L A , Schell A W , Bruschi D E 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Gravitational redshift is discussed in the context of quantum photons propagating in curved spacetime. A brief introduction to modelling realistic photons is first presented and the effect of gravity on the spectrum computed for photons largely confined along the direction of propagation. It is then shown that redshift-induced transformations on photon operators with sharp momenta are not unitary, while a unitary transformation can be constructed for realistic photons with finite bandwidth. The unitary transformation obtained is then characterized as a multimode mixing operation, which is a generalized rotation of the Hilbert-space basis. Finally, applications of these results are discussed with focus on performance of quantum communication protocols, exploitation of the effects for quantum metrology and sensing, as well as potential for tests of fundamental science.
Higher derivative Hamiltonians with benign ghosts from affine Toda lattices
Authors: Fring Andreas , Turner Bethan 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We provide further evidence for Smilga’s conjecture that higher charges of integrable systems are suitable candidates for higher derivative theories that possess benign ghost sectors in their parameter space. As concrete examples we study the properties of the classical phase spaces for a number of affine Toda lattices theories related to different types of Kac–Moody algebras. We identify several types of scenarios for theories with higher charge Hamiltonians: some that possess oscillatory, divergent, benign oscillatory and benign divergent behaviour when ghost sectors are present in the quantum theory. No divergent behaviour was observed for which the trajectories reach a singularity in finite time. For theories based on particular representations for the Lie algebraic roots we found an extreme sensitivity towards the initial conditions governed by the Poisson bracket relations between the centre-of-mass coordinate and the charges.
Contact Lie systems: theory and applications
Authors: de Lucas Javier , Rivas Xavier 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
A Lie system is a time-dependent system of differential equations describing the integral curves of a time-dependent vector field that can be considered as a curve in a finite-dimensional Lie algebra of vector fields V. We call V a Vessiot–Guldberg Lie algebra. We define and analyse contact Lie systems, namely Lie systems admitting a Vessiot–Guldberg Lie algebra of Hamiltonian vector fields relative to a contact manifold. We also study contact Lie systems of Liouville type, which are invariant relative to the flow of a Reeb vector field. Liouville theorems, contact Marsden–Weinstein reductions, and Gromov non-squeezing theorems are developed and applied to contact Lie systems. Contact Lie systems on three-dimensional Lie groups with Vessiot–Guldberg Lie algebras of right-invariant vector fields and associated with left-invariant contact forms are classified. Our results are illustrated with examples having relevant physical and mathematical applications, e.g. Schwarz equations, Brockett systems, quantum mechanical systems, etc. Finally, a Poisson coalgebra method to derive superposition rules for contact Lie systems of Liouville type is developed.

Abstract
Postharvest processing, especially in picking, is an essential factor affecting the quality of Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora). This study was aimed to compare the effect of Postharvest processing on the quality of Robusta coffee. The Postharvest methods used in this research were the farmer’s metods, natural process, semi-wet, and wet methods. The observed parameters in this study were physical quality, caffeine content and chlorogenic acid content. The results showed that the physical quality of the farmer’s process, the dirt content exceeded 0.5%, had black seeds, cracked black, cocoa beans, cracked seeds, and hollow seeds which were higher than SNI (Indonesian National Standard) with quality number four based on the defect value. While the quality of the natural, semi-wet and wet methods was in accordance with SNI with quality number two. The results of further testing for the farmer method obtained caffeine content of 1.80% and chlorogenic acid content of 1.00%, natural method of 1.79 % caffeine and chlorogenic acid of 1.32%, the semi-wet method caffeine of 1.92% and chlorogenic acid of 1.28 %, wet method of the caffeine of 1.83% and chlorogenic acid of 1.25%. This shows that the processing with the lowest quality is shown in the processing method of farmers.

This research aims to evaluate the technical efficiency of using tumbu sugar production inputs in Dawe District, Kudus Regency. This research uses secondary data and primary data from questionnaires, the population in this study as many as 192 tumbu sugar craftsmen then testing the population using the slovin formula and obtained 85 samples of tumbu sugar craftsmen in Dawe District. Data analysis using data envelopment analysis (DEA) with DEAP2.1 software application. The results showed that 46 tumbu sugar craftsmen (54.12%) were currently in an inefficient position. According to the SE value, 39 tumbu sugar producers (45.88%) have reached full efficiency, indicating that the DMU has met both the CRS and VRS assumptions. There are no powdered sugar craftsmen who experience DRS. This means that tumbu sugar craftsman must currently enhance the quantity of existing inputs to attain efficiency.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study aims to apply semi-technical irrigation technology as an intermediate plan before an advanced development of the Sei Teras fishpond Irrigation Area can be established. Results of the previous study show that the availability of saline and freshwater sources enables the Sei Teras fishpond irrigation area to be developed into a semi-intensive advanced cultivation level. This study evaluates an alternative scheme of fresh and saline water management, which enlarges channel capacity and introduces gates. The evaluation compares the alternative schemes of hydraulic and water quality performance against the existing conditions using the HEC-RAS. The boundary conditions for modelling are obtained from measurement and Secondary data of the previous studies. The measured data are salinity, tides, and channel flow velocity. The parameters being compared are the discharge capacity, tidal water level, and salinity. The evaluation points are located at the Primary and Secondary channels. The simulation results show that enlargement of the channel capacity can increase the discharge to 129,22% at the evaluation point, but no significant water level change. Furthermore, the salinity level can maintain the aquaculture requirement by assigning the gates. Therefore, the alternative development scheme of the pond irrigation system is feasible and supports shrimp cultivation.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
The high popularity of wheat-based food such as noodles in Indonesia has caused a large increase in wheat imports. Sorghum and rice are two local ingredients found in Indonesia; however, sorghum is not largely used as the main grain source, especially in noodle making. This research aimed to determine the effect of the ratio between sorghum flour and rice flour, and konjac glucomannan concentration on noodle analogue characteristics. Konjac glucomannan was added at different concentrations (3%, 4%, 5%) to different ratios of sorghum-rice flours (50:50, 25:75, 0:100). Results showed that the best formulation was a noodle analogue made with a 25:75 sorghum-rice flour ratio and 4% konjac glucomannan. The best-formulated noodle analogue had a higher moisture content (13.35±0.38%), higher fat, and higher carbohydrate (71.93±0.11%), but lower protein and ash content than the commercial wheat-based noodle. It also had a lower starch (60.43%) and dietary fibre content (10.34%), higher cooking loss (9.44±0.60%), and lower water absorption (176.45±4.86%) compared to commercial wheat-based noodle. In terms of textural and mechanical properties, the best-formulated noodle analogue had lower hardness, higher adhesiveness, lower springiness, lower cohesiveness, lower tensile strength, and lower elongation. However, the multiple comparison test showed that panellists perceived the best-formulated noodle analogue to be comparable to commercial wheat-based noodle, in terms of aroma, chewiness, hardness, and adhesiveness.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Strawberry (Fragaria sp.) is a subtropical fruit from Chile, South America. Strawberries are liked because of their uniqueness, attractive colors and shapes, distinctive aroma, and fresh taste. Strawberries are a non-climacteric fruit that has a relatively short shelf life. Damage to horticultural products can be caused mechanically, physiologically, and microbiologically. The edible coating has been a popular preservation method in recent years because it effectively extends the post-harvest shelf life of fresh products such as soft-textured fruits. This research was conducted to determine the effect of the concentration of Siam Pontianak tangerine peel (Citrus suhuinensis cv Pontianak) essential oil which was incorporated into an edible coating based on sodium alginate on the quality of strawberries in terms of physical characteristics (colors, hardness, total dissolved solids, weight loss). The edible coating based on sodium alginate with different concentrations of Siam Pontianak tangerine peel essential oil significantly affected the quality of strawberries on all parameters, including color, hardness, total dissolved solids, and weight loss during refrigeration temperature storage.
Modelling capture efficiency of single-cell RNA-sequencing data improves inference of transcriptome-wide burst kinetics
Authors: Tang Wenhao , Jørgensen Andreas Christ Sølvsten , Marguerat Samuel , Thomas Philipp , Shahrezaei Vahid 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Motivation
Gene expression is characterized by stochastic bursts of transcription that occur at brief and random periods of promoter activity. The kinetics of gene expression burstiness differs across the genome and is dependent on the promoter sequence, among other factors. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has made it possible to quantify the cell-to-cell variability in transcription at a global genome-wide level. However, scRNA-seq data are prone to technical variability, including low and variable capture efficiency of transcripts from individual cells.

Results
Here, we propose a novel mathematical theory for the observed variability in scRNA-seq data. Our method captures burst kinetics and variability in both the cell size and capture efficiency, which allows us to propose several likelihood-based and simulation-based methods for the inference of burst kinetics from scRNA-seq data. Using both synthetic and real data, we show that the simulation-based methods provide an accurate, robust and flexible tool for inferring burst kinetics from scRNA-seq data. In particular, in a supervised manner, a simulation-based inference method based on neural networks proves to be accurate and useful when applied to both allele and nonallele-specific scRNA-seq data.

enviRule: an end-to-end system for automatic extraction of reaction patterns from environmental contaminant biotransformation pathways
Authors: Zhang Kunyang , Fenner Kathrin 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Motivation
Transformation products (TPs) of man-made chemicals, formed through microbially mediated transformation in the environment, can have serious adverse environmental effects, yet the analytical identification of TPs is challenging. Rule-based prediction tools are successful in predicting TPs, especially in environmental chemistry applications that typically have to rely on small datasets, by imparting the existing knowledge on enzyme-mediated biotransformation reactions. However, the rules extracted from biotransformation reaction databases usually face the issue of being over/under-generalized and are not flexible to be updated with new reactions.

Results
We developed an automatic rule extraction tool called enviRule. It clusters biotransformation reactions into different groups based on the similarities of reaction fingerprints, and then automatically extracts and generalizes rules for each reaction group in SMARTS format. It optimizes the genericity of automatic rules against the downstream TP prediction task. Models trained with automatic rules outperformed the models trained with manually curated rules by 30% in the area under curve (AUC) scores. Moreover, automatic rules can be easily updated with new reactions, highlighting enviRule’s strengths for both automatic extraction of optimized reactions rules and automated updating thereof.

Primary entry trocar design and entry-related complications at laparoscopy in obese patients: meta-analysis
Authors: Miti Chimwemwe , Busuulwa Paula , Scott Richard , Bloomfield-Gadelha Hermes 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Background
Safe primary entry at laparoscopy could present challenges in obese patients. Various techniques have been proposed in previous studies, however, the characteristics of the actual device utilized may be more influential than the technique in achieving successful abdominal entry in patients with increased BMI.

Methods
This systematic review and meta-analysis included both randomized and non-randomized studies gathered with no date filters from MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and Clinicaltrials.gov. PRISMA guidelines underpinned the conduct and reporting of the review. The meta-analysis of proportions was conducted using a generalized linear mixed model and analyses included random-effects models. The primary outcome was the proportion of first access vascular and visceral injuries incurred in the process of laparoscopic abdominal surgery in patients with a BMI &gt;30 kg/m2. Subgroup analysis was performed for optical versus non-optically enabled devices.

Results
In total, 5403 patients were analysed across 13 observational studies with a mean BMI of 45.93 kg/m2. In 216 patients from two randomized studies, the mean BMI was 39.92 kg/m2. The overall incidence using a random-effects model was 8.1 per 1000 events of visceral and vascular injuries (95 per cent c.i. 0.003 to 0.024). Heterogeneity was statistically significant at I2 = 80.5 per cent (69.6 per cent; 87.5 per cent, P&lt; 0.0001). In a subgroup analysis, a tendency towards reduced injuries when optical devices were employed was observed with one per 100 injuries in these trocars (95 per cent c.i. 0.001 to 0.018) versus four per 100 (95 per cent c.i. −0.019 to –0.102) in non-optically enabled devices.

Conclusion
Injuries during primary laparoscopic entry undertaken in obese patient groups are uncommon. Due to considerable heterogeneity in the small number of examined studies, evidence was insufficient and largely of low quality to ascribe differences in the incidence of injuries to the characteristics of the primary entry trocar utilized.
