Temperature-induced anomalous magnetotransport in the Weyl semimetal Mn3Ge
Authors: Wu Mingxing , Kondou Kouta , Chen Taishi , Nakatsuji Satoru , Otani Yoshichika 
Published: April 2023

The magnetic Weyl semimetallic state can lead to intriguing magnetotransport, such as chiral anomaly and the layered quantum Hall effect. Mn3X (X = Sn, Ge) is a noncollinear antiferromagnetic semimetal where a Weyl semimetallic state is stabilized by time-reversal symmetry breaking. Compared to the well-studied Mn3Sn, the Weyl fermion-induced magnetotransport in Mn3Ge has been merely studied. Here, we report an in-depth study on the magnetotransport in a microfabricated Mn3Ge single crystal from room temperature to 10 K. We reveal an anomalous anisotropic magnetoresistance with fourfold symmetry and a positive high-field longitudinal magnetoresistance below the critical temperature (160–170 K). The possible origin is the temperature-induced tilting of the Weyl nodes. Our study helps to understand the magnetotransport properties in the Weyl fermion system.

Published: April 2023

The thermal conductivity of Si-doped thin films of indium phosphide grown via metalorganic vapour-phase epitaxy at different carrier concentrations and thicknesses was measured from 80 to 450 K using time domain thermoreflectance. Additionally, phonon gas modeling was conducted to characterize the various scattering mechanisms that contribute to the thermal transport in these materials. A sensitivity analysis based on the phonon gas model showed that while thickness has a greater influence on the thermal conductivity than carrier concentration at the micron-scale for all samples, point defects due to Si-dopant atoms at carrier concentrations of ∼1019 cm−3, as well as the presence of extended defects that are most likely present due to dopant saturation, have a significant impact on thermal transport as a result of increased phonon scattering, decreasing the thermal conductivity by 40% or more.

Published: April 2023

This work proposes a novel design of an 8-to-3 encoder in a photonic crystal fiber (PCF). It is composed of a buffer and three OR logic gates using circular air holes in a silicon dioxide substrate. We have employed the plane-wave expansion technique to analyze the band structure of the proposed PCF and the beam propagation method to study the transmission efficiency and electromagnetic field distributions. Our findings reveal that the encoder operates well within the main third telecommunication window, which corresponds to 1530–1565 nm. The numerical calculations show that transmissions greater than 70% and less than 0.05% are logics 1 and 0, respectively. The proposed encoder has a maximum delay of 7.5 ps, and its total footprint is about 140 µm × 14 µm × 3 mm. This makes the proposed PCF-based encoder suitable for simple and low-cost fabrication, which may find applications in optical communication devices and integrated circuits.

Published: April 2023

In this work, the Hugoniot equation of state for aluminum and copper under low-impact loading was measured by using the plane impact technique and laser Doppler velocimetry. The linear relationship between shock wave velocity and particle velocity was fitted by a least squares method, with D=5.28114+1.306(17)us for an Al pressure range from 2.5 to 13.9 GPa and D=3.9386+1.484(14)us for Cu at 5.7–47.5 GPa. The linear fitting correlation coefficient was greater than 0.99, which was better than the previous experimental data. The results demonstrate that the Doppler pin system has great advantages for measuring the Hugoniot EoS at low shock pressure compared with the electric pin technique The experimental data obtained in this work extend to a lower pressure range. This can provide more accurate Mie–Grüneisen EoS of Al and Cu under low shock pressure.
Trapping efficiency of common brushtail possums is affected by rainfall
Authors: Si Alice Yu , Ross Alexandra Kate , Crisp Helen Amanda 
Published: April 2023

Determining factors that influence the trapping success of semi-arboreal species will inform wildlife management, improve capture rates, and enhance data reliability. We compared the capture success of common brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) across different rainfall levels using data collected over a 12-year period at a wildlife sanctuary in South Australia. We found that low rainfall in the 6 months prior to a cage trapping survey increased the average number of common brushtail possums trapped per night, likely due to the attraction of the high-calorie bait combined with increased movement of possums at ground level.

Reply to Comment on ‘The central role of forests in the 2021 European floods’ by Arie Staal and Gerbrand Koren
Authors: Insua-Costa Damián , Senande-Rivera Martín , Llasat María Carmen , Miguez-Macho Gonzalo 
Published: April 2023

AbstractIn their comment, Staal and Koren replicate our experiment using a different methodology, namely a Lagrangian moisture tracking method. Their results largely agree with ours, which is therefore a good indication of the high robustness and accuracy of these findings. Although this comparison is of great value, to a large extent their comment is a criticism of our interpretation of the results, with which we disagree. Their main objection refers to the fact that, since they show that the relative contribution of forests to the precipitation recorded during the event was not anomalous (above average), their ‘central role’ would not be justified. However, a relevant or even a dominant contribution does not necessarily have to be anomalous, so that claim does not hold. In other words, forests played a ‘central role’ because their contribution (adding transpiration and interception loss) was greater than 50%, regardless of what their average contribution to precipitation in the first half of July might be.
A biogeochemical model of mineral-based ocean alkalinity enhancement: impacts on the biological pump and ocean carbon uptake
Authors: Fakhraee Mojtaba , Li Zijian , Planavsky Noah J , Reinhard Christopher T 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Minimizing anthropogenic climate disruption in the coming century will likely require carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from Earth’s atmosphere in addition to deep and rapid cuts to greenhouse gas emissions. Ocean alkalinity enhancement—the modification of surface ocean chemistry to drive marine uptake of atmospheric CO2—is seen as a potentially significant component of ocean-based CDR portfolios. However, there has been limited mechanistic exploration of the large-scale CDR potential of mineral-based ocean alkalinity enhancement, potential bottlenecks in alkalinity release, and the biophysical impacts of alkaline mineral feedstocks on marine ecology and the marine biological carbon pump. Here we a series of biogeochemical models to evaluate the gross CDR potential and environmental impacts of ocean alkalinity enhancement using solid mineral feedstocks. We find that natural alkalinity sources—basalt and olivine—lead to very low CDR efficiency while strongly perturbing marine food quality and fecal pellet production by marine zooplankton. Artificial alkalinity sources—the synthetic metal oxides MgO and CaO—are potentially capable of significant CDR with reduced environmental impact, but their deployment at scale faces major challenges associated with substrate limitation and process CO2 emissions during feedstock production. Taken together, our results highlight distinct challenges for ocean alkalinity enhancement as a CDR strategy and indicate that mineral-based ocean alkalinity enhancement should be pursued with caution.

Abstract
Wind energy, an important component of clean energy, is highly dictated by the disposable wind speed within the working regime of wind turbines (typically between 3 and 25 m s−1 at the hub height). Following a continuous reduction (‘stilling’) of global annual mean surface wind speed (SWS) since the 1960s, recently, researchers have reported a ‘reversal’ since 2011. However, little attention has been paid to the evolution of the effective wind speed for wind turbines. Since wind speed at hub height increases with SWS through power law, we focus on the wind speed frequency variations at various ranges of SWS through hourly in-situ observations and quantify their contributions to the average SWS changes over 1981–2021. We found that during the stilling period (here 1981–2010), the strong SWS (⩾ 5.0 m s−1, the 80th of global SWS) with decreasing frequency contributed 220.37% to the continuous weakening of mean SWS. During the reversal period of SWS (here 2011–2021), slight wind (0 m s−1 < SWS < 2.9 m s−1) contributed 64.07% to a strengthening of SWS. The strengthened strong wind (⩾ 5.0 m s−1) contributed 73.38% to the trend change of SWS from decrease to increase in 2010. Based on the synthetic capacity factor series calculated by considering commercial wind turbines (General Electric GE 2.5-120 model with rated power 2.5 MW) at the locations of the meteorological stations, the frequency changes resulted in a reduction of wind power energy (−10.02 TWh yr−1, p < 0.001) from 1981 to 2010 and relatively weak recovery (2.67 TWh yr−1, p < 0.05) during 2011–2021.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
High-performance materials, systems, and processes have necessitated the exploration of very high-temperature environments. Materials, particularly ceramics, which can withstand these high temperatures, have been extensively studied, even though enough emphasis has not been given to clays sourced locally in Nigeria, where there is an abundance. Also, stochastic optimization techniques has been employed to improve on system or carry out experimentation with minimal spend of resources and very high accuracy. This work extensively explored the refractory properties of blends developed from locally sourced clays (Mayo Ndaga and kachalla Sembe and Kona). The Taguchi optimization technique was employed to determine the effect of various quantities of the clays on the loss on ignition (LOI), refractoriness (RF), and firing shrinkage (FS) of the blends. It was discovered that the optimum (lowest) LOI, highest RF, and lowest FS were 11%, 1333 °C, and 0.48%, respectively. Analysis of variance also proved the significance of Mayo Ndaga on the RF and FS of the blends, with P-values of 0.038 and 0.000 at a 95% confidence level.
The spatial arrangement of sexes is related to reproductive allocation in mosses: a comparative study of reproductive allocation in three different monoicous sexual systems
Authors: dos Santos Wagner Luiz , Pôrto Kátia Cavalcanti , Bordin Juçara , Pinheiro Fábio , Bisang Irene 
Published: April 2023

Abstract

Background and Aims
We examined the relationship between reproductive allocation and vegetative growth in three monoicous sexual systems of bryophytes. The sexual systems show a gradient of increasing distance between the sexes, from gonioautoicous to cladautoicous to rhizautoicous. Here, we investigated the following two hypotheses: (1) reproductive allocation differs between sexes and sexual systems, and male reproductive allocation increases with increasing distance between male and female gametangia; and (2) reproductive allocation is negatively related to vegetative growth.

Methods
We sampled the three sexual systems, represented by three moss species of the genus Fissidens in the Atlantic Forest of Southeastern Brazil. Ramets were washed in the laboratory; the reproductive structures were detached from the vegetative ramets and sorted regarding sex and individual, dried at 70 °C for 72 h, and weighed in an ultramicrobalance. We calculated the mean reproductive and vegetative mass and reproductive allocation and used generalized linear models to test our predictions.

Key Results
Reproductive allocation differed between species and sexes. It was higher in the rhizautoicous than in the cladautoicous and gonioautoicous species. Mean reproductive allocation was greater in males than in females of the rhizautoicous species, greater in females than males of the cladautoicous species, and did not differ between the sexes in the gonioautoicous species. Estimates of reproductive and vegetative mass were positively related in females of the rhizautoicous species. Vegetative mass was not related to reproductive allocation in the gonioautoicous species, but negatively related to reproductive allocation in the male and female branchlets of the cladautoicous species and in the female ramets of the rhizautoicous species.

Conclusions
The reproductive allocation patterns differ between the rhizautoicous species and the ‘truly’ monoicous species, with shorter intersexual distances, which implies that our hypotheses were supported only in part. We suggest that the hypotheses should be reformulated and tested further by comparing ‘truly’ monoicous species with dioicous species and by including other genera.

Abstract

Summary
The outbreak of Mpox virus (MPXV) infection in May 2022 is declared a global health emergency by WHO. A total of 84 330 cases have been confirmed as of 5 January 2023 and the numbers are on the rise. The MPXV pathophysiology and its underlying mechanisms are unfortunately not yet understood. Likewise, the knowledge of biochemicals and drugs used against MPXV and their downstream effects is sparse. In this work, using Knowledge Graph (KG) representations we have depicted chemical and biological aspects of MPXV. To achieve this, we have collected and rationally assembled several biological study results, assays, drug candidates and pre-clinical evidence to form a dynamic and comprehensive network. The KG is compliant with FAIR annotations allowing seamless transformation and integration to/with other formats and infrastructures.

Different approaches to Imaging Mass Cytometry data analysis
Authors: Milosevic Vladan 
Published: April 2023

Summary
Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC) is a novel, high multiplexing imaging platform capable of simultaneously detecting and visualizing up to 40 different protein targets. It is a strong asset available for in-depth study of histology and pathophysiology of the tissues. Bearing in mind the robustness of this technique and the high spatial context of the data it gives, it is especially valuable in studying the biology of cancer and tumor microenvironment. IMC-derived data are not classical micrographic images, and due to the characteristics of the data obtained using IMC, the image analysis approach, in this case, can diverge to a certain degree from the classical image analysis pipelines. As the number of publications based on the IMC is on the rise, this trend is also followed by an increase in the number of available methodologies designated solely to IMC-derived data analysis. This review has for an aim to give a systematic synopsis of all the available classical image analysis tools and pipelines useful to be employed for IMC data analysis and give an overview of tools intentionally developed solely for this purpose, easing the choice to researchers of selecting the most suitable methodologies for a specific type of analysis desired.
PreTP-2L: identification of therapeutic peptides and their types using two-layer ensemble learning framework
Authors: Yan Ke , Guo Yichen , Liu Bin 
Published: April 2023

AbstractMotivationTherapeutic peptides play an important role in immune regulation. Recently various therapeutic peptides have been used in the field of medical research, and have great potential in the design of therapeutic schedules. Therefore, it is essential to utilize the computational methods to predict the therapeutic peptides. However, the therapeutic peptides cannot be accurately predicted by the existing predictors. Furthermore, chaotic datasets are also an important obstacle of the development of this important field. Therefore, it is still challenging to develop a multi-classification model for identification of therapeutic peptides and their types.ResultsIn this work, we constructed a general therapeutic peptide dataset. An ensemble-learning method named PreTP-2L was developed for predicting various therapeutic peptide types. PreTP-2L consists of two layers. The first layer predicts whether a peptide sequence belongs to therapeutic peptide, and the second layer predicts if a therapeutic peptide belongs to a particular species.Availability and implementationA user-friendly webserver PreTP-2L can be accessed at http://bliulab.net/PreTP-2L.
dipwmsearch: a Python package for searching di-PWM motifs
Authors: Mille Marie , Ripoll Julie , Cazaux Bastien , Rivals Eric 
Published: April 2023

AbstractMotivationSeeking probabilistic motifs in a sequence is a common task to annotate putative transcription factor binding sites or other RNA/DNA binding sites. Useful motif representations include position weight matrices (PWMs), dinucleotide PWMs (di-PWMs), and hidden Markov models (HMMs). Dinucleotide PWMs not only combine the simplicity of PWMs—a matrix form and a cumulative scoring function—but also incorporate dependency between adjacent positions in the motif (unlike PWMs which disregard any dependency). For instance to represent binding sites, the HOCOMOCO database provides di-PWM motifs derived from experimental data. Currently, two programs, SPRy-SARUS and MOODS, can search for occurrences of di-PWMs in sequences.ResultsWe propose a Python package called dipwmsearch, which provides an original and efficient algorithm for this task (it first enumerates matching words for the di-PWM, and then searches these all at once in the sequence, even if the latter contains IUPAC codes). The user benefits from an easy installation via Pypi or conda, a comprehensive documentation, and executable scripts that facilitate the use of di-PWMs.Availability and implementationdipwmsearch is available at https://pypi.org/project/dipwmsearch/ and https://gite.lirmm.fr/rivals/dipwmsearch/ under Cecill license.

Abstract
Detection of circulating anodic antigen (CAA) is known for its high sensitivity in diagnosing schistosomiasis infection, even in low-prevalence settings. The Up-Converting Phosphor-Lateral Flow (UCP-LF) assay developed in 2008 presented greater sensitivity than other assay methods in use for CAA detection. Our study aims to comprehensively review all studies conducted in this area and thus generate informed conclusions on the potential for adopting the UCP-LF assay for diagnosing this important yet neglected tropical disease. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, we generated search criteria to capture all studies in English journals available in the Scopus and PubMed databases on 20 December 2022. A total of 219 articles were identified, and 84 that met the inclusion criteria were retrieved and eventually included in the study. Twelve different assay methods were identified with a noteworthy transition from enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to the UCP-LF assay, a laboratory-based assay that may be applicable as a point-of-care (POC) diagnostic test for schistosomiasis. Reducing the time, cost, and dependence on specialized laboratory skills and equipment, especially relating to the trichloroacetic acid extraction step and centrifugation in the UCP-LF CAA assay may go a long way to aid its potential as a POC tool. We also propose the development of a CAA-specific aptamer (short protein/antigen-binding oligonucleotide) as a possible alternative to monoclonal antibodies in the assay. UCP-LF has great potential for POC application.
