Published: August 2023

Abstract
A camouflaged cryptosystem based on optical diffractive imaging is proposed in this paper. During the encryption process, a camouflaged image is first encoded into an intensity image by optical diffractive imaging, which is stored and transmitted as a fake ciphertext. Then a secret image is encoded into two generated phase masks(GPMs) with the fake ciphertext as the amplitude constraint by cascading phase encoding. The ciphertext and random phase masks(RPMs) used in the optical diffractive imaging are transmitted to the receivers via a common channel, while GPMs are transmitted via a private channel. The common channel can be accessed by both authorized receivers and potential illegal intruders. Therefore, illegal intruders can just obtain the camouflaged image by the fake ciphertext and RPMs, while only authorized receivers with the fake ciphertext and GPMs can retrieve the secret image. The decoded camouflaged image would confuse the illegal users and provide additional security protection for the secret image. The feasibility and security of this cryptosystem would by verified by several simulation experiments.
Dissipative inflation via scalar production
Authors: Creminelli Paolo , Kumar Soubhik , Salehian Borna , Santoni Luca 
Published: August 2023

AbstractWe describe a new mechanism that gives rise to dissipation during cosmic inflation. In the simplest implementation, the mechanism requires the presence of a massive scalar field with a softly-broken global U(1) symmetry, along with the inflaton field. Particle production in this scenario takes place on parametrically sub-horizon scales, at variance with the case of dissipation into gauge fields. Consequently, the backreaction of the produced particles on the inflationary dynamics can be treated in alocalmanner, allowing us to compute their effects analytically. We determine the parametric dependence of the power spectrum which deviates from the usual slow-roll expression. Non-Gaussianities are always sizeable whenever perturbations are generated by the noise induced by dissipation:fNLeq≳O(10).

Abstract
The strong gravitational lensing of a regular and rotating magnetic black hole in non-minimally coupled Einstein-Yang-Mills theory is studied. We find that, with the increase of any characteristic parameters of this black hole, such as the rotating parameter a, magnetic charge q and EYM parameter λ, the angular image position

and relative magnification

decrease while deflection angle

and image separation s increase. The results will degenerate to that of the Kerr case, RN case with magnetic charge and Schwarzschild case when we take some specific values for the black hole parameters. The results also show that, due to the small influence of magnetic charge and EYM parameters, it is difficult for current astronomical instruments to tell this black hole apart from a General Relativity one.

Abstract
One of the major challenges for the design of future thermonuclear reactors is the problem of power exhaust—the removal of heat fluxes deposited by plasma particles onto the plasma-facing components (PFCs) of the reactor wall. In order for the reactor to work efficiently, the power loading of the PFCs has to stay within their material limits. A substantial part of these heat fluxes can be deposited transiently during the impact of edge localised modes (ELMs), which typically accompany the high confinement mode, a regime foreseen for tokamak ITER and next-step devices. One of the possible ways to mitigate the deposition of localised heat fluxes during ELMs is injection of impurities, which could similarly to inter-ELM detachment dissipate part of the energy carried by plasma particles, the so-called ELM buffering effect. In this contribution, we report on experimental observations in impurity seeded discharges in ASDEX Upgrade, where injection of argon is capable of reducing the ELM energy by up to 80

%

(60

%

without degradation of confinement). A simple model of ELM cooling is in some cases capable of providing quantitative prediction of this effect. The ELM peak energy fluence

The most favourable results in terms of confinement and divertor heat flux mitigation were achieved by use of a mixture of argon and nitrogen, where the later impurity helped to improve the confinement.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
The μ-RWELL is a single-amplification stage resistive Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector
(MPGD). The detector amplification element is realized with a single copper-clad polyimide foil
micro-patterned with a blind hole (well) matrix and embedded in the readout PCB through a thin
Diamond-Like-Carbon (DLC) sputtered resistive film. The introduction of the resistive layer,
suppressing the transition from streamer to spark, allows to achieve large gains (≥ 104)
with a single amplification stage, while partially reducing the capability to stand high particle
fluxes. The simplest resistive layout, designed for low-rate applications, is based on a
single-resistive layer with edge grounding. At high particle fluxes this layout suffers of a
non-uniform response. In order to get rid of such a limitation different current evacuation
geometries have been designed. In this work we report the study of the performance of several
high rate resistive layouts tested at the CERN H8-SpS and PSI πM1 beam test facilities and
with a high intensity 5.9 keV X-ray tube. These layouts fulfill the requirements for the
detectors upgrades at the HL-LHC and for the experiments at the next generation colliders
FCC-ee/hh and CepC.The possibility to realise the detector on flexible elements opens the way to
use the technology for non-planar geometry such as the instrumentation of the Inner Tracker at
future Charm-Tau factories. In addition, it must be stressed that the μ-RWELL device can be
manufactured with full sequential-build-up technology, thus allowing a straightforward technology
transfer of the manufacturing process to the industry.

Abstract
Stable isotope ratios of H (δ
2
H), O (δ
18O), and C (δ
13C) are linked to key biogeochemical processes of the water and carbon cycles; however, the degree to which isotope-associated processes are reflected in macroscale ecosystem flux observations remains unquantified. Here through formal information assessment, new measurements of δ
13C of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) as well as δ
2H and δ
18O of latent heat (LH) fluxes across the United States National Ecological Observation Network (NEON) are used to determine conditions under which isotope measurements are informative of environmental exchanges. We find all three isotopic datasets individually contain comparable amounts of information about NEE and LH fluxes as wind speed observations. Such information from isotope measurements, however, is largely unique. Generally, δ
13C provides more information about LH as aridity increases or mean annual precipitation decreases. δ
2H provides more information about LH as temperatures or mean annual precipitation decreases, and also provides more information about NEE as temperatures decrease. Overall, we show that the stable isotope datasets collected by NEON contribute non-trivial amounts of new information about bulk environmental fluxes useful for interpreting biogeochemical and ecohydrological processes at landscape scales. However, the utility of this new information varies with environmental conditions at continental scales. This study provides an approach for quantifying the value adding non-traditional sensing approaches to environmental monitoring sites and the patterns identified here are expected to aid in modeling and data interpretation efforts focused on constraining carbon and water cycles’ mechanisms.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Building facade is an integral piece to the overall design of a building, which not only ensures adequate interior thermal comfort, minimizing cooling load rate but also lowering overall building energy consumption. In recent years, aluminum composite material wall (ACM) is a new decorative material that is increasingly being used by developers, designers, and architects, which led to many innovative building facade designs. It is a straightforward and versatile product that provides a weather-resistant, sound-insulation, heat-insulation, earthquake-resistant, and shock-resistant façade that is simple to install. As a result, this study proposes a perfomance of energy simulation with ACM material applied in building design using Building Energy Modeling (BEM). Energy simulation in buildings using a Building Information Modeling (BIM) system is proposed to reduce the Energy Use Intensity (EUI) and energy cost of building in its construction process. The results of this study are expected to assist architects and building managers in improving and enhancing the energy efficiency of buildings. These significant findings demonstrate the potential of using ACM wall to improve building energy efficiency.

Abstract
Genetic variants in the SLC6A1 gene can cause a broad phenotypic disease spectrum by altering the protein function. Thus, systematically curated clinically relevant genotype-phenotype associations are needed to understand the disease mechanism and improve therapeutic decision-making.
We aggregated genetic and clinical data from 172 individuals with likely pathogenic/pathogenic (lp/p) SLC6A1 variants and functional data for 184 variants (14.1% lp/p). Clinical and functional data were available for a subset of 126 individuals. We explored the potential associations of variant positions on the GAT1 3D structure with variant pathogenicity, altered molecular function and phenotype severity using bioinformatic approaches.
The GAT1 transmembrane domains 1, 6 and extracellular loop 4 (EL4) were enriched for patient over population variants. Across functionally tested missense variants (n = 156), the spatial proximity from the ligand was associated with loss-of-function in the GAT1 transporter activity. For variants with complete loss of in vitro GABA uptake, we found a 4.6-fold enrichment in patients having severe disease versus non-severe disease (P = 2.9 × 10−3, 95% confidence interval: 1.5–15.3).
In summary, we delineated associations between the 3D structure and variant pathogenicity, variant function and phenotype in SLC6A1-related disorders. This knowledge supports biology-informed variant interpretation and research on GAT1 function. All our data can be interactively explored in the SLC6A1 portal (https://slc6a1-portal.broadinstitute.org/).
Ankyrin B promotes developmental spine regulation in the mouse prefrontal cortex

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Postnatal regulation of dendritic spine formation and refinement in cortical pyramidal neurons is critical for excitatory/inhibitory balance in neocortical networks. Recent studies have identified a selective spine pruning mechanism in the mouse prefrontal cortex mediated by class 3 Semaphorins and the L1 cell adhesion molecules, neuron-glia related cell adhesion molecule, Close Homolog of L1, and L1. L1 cell adhesion molecules bind Ankyrin B, an actin-spectrin adaptor encoded by Ankyrin2, a high-confidence gene for autism spectrum disorder. In a new inducible mouse model (Nex1Cre-ERT2: Ank2flox: RCE), Ankyrin2 deletion in early postnatal pyramidal neurons increased spine density on apical dendrites in prefrontal cortex layer 2/3 of homozygous and heterozygous Ankyrin2-deficient mice. In contrast, Ankyrin2 deletion in adulthood had no effect on spine density. Sema3F-induced spine pruning was impaired in cortical neuron cultures from Ankyrin B-null mice and was rescued by re-expression of the 220 kDa Ankyrin B isoform but not 440 kDa Ankyrin B. Ankyrin B bound to neuron-glia related CAM at a cytoplasmic domain motif (FIGQY1231), and mutation to FIGQH inhibited binding, impairing Sema3F-induced spine pruning in neuronal cultures. Identification of a novel function for Ankyrin B in dendritic spine regulation provides insight into cortical circuit development, as well as potential molecular deficiencies in autism spectrum disorder.
Modeling the initial development dynamics for two native Brazilian forest tree species

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Development models are used to quantify the dynamics and rate of initial development, the seedling phase duration, and global warming impacts on forest species. Such models relate the physiological age of the plant, through air temperature functions, to its morphological appearance, given by the cumulative leaf number on the main stem. Despite their potential, studies on initial development dynamics are still scarce, especially for native forest species. Thus, this study calibrated and evaluated the performance of two development models—Phyllochron and Wang and Engel—in estimating the cumulative leaf number and seedling phase duration of two Brazilian native forest species—Cybistax antisyphilitica (Mart.) Mart. (Bignoniaceae) and Platycyamus regnellii Benth. (Fabaceae). Cumulative leaf number and seedling phase duration data from outdoor experiments carried out during the 2017 and 2018 growing seasons with 12 sowing dates in Itajubá, Minas Gerais, Brazil, were used. These experiments provided a rich dataset for calibrating and evaluating the Phyllochron and Wang and Engel development models. Both development models were capable of predicting cumulative leaf number with low and acceptable errors for both species and produced less accurate estimates for seedling phase duration. For C. antisyphilitica, both models were remarkably similar in estimating cumulative leaf number and seedling phase duration, with a root-mean-square error of 3.3 leaves and 25 days, respectively. For P. regnellii, the Wang and Engel model was slightly better than the Phyllochron, with an error of fewer than 2.06 leaves and 13.1 days. Using the coefficients calibrated in this study and, preferably, the Wang and Engel model, it is possible to project the development of both forest species under climate change scenarios.
Polyglutamine disease in peripheral tissues
Authors: Barwell Taylor , Seroude Laurent 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This year is a milestone anniversary of the discovery that Huntington’s disease is caused by the presence of expanded polyglutamine repeats in the huntingtin gene leading to the formation of huntingtin aggregates. 30 years have elapsed and there is still no cure and the only FDA-approved treatment to alleviate the debilitating locomotor impairments presents several adverse effects. It has long been neglected that the huntingtin gene is almost ubiquitously expressed in many tissues outside of the nervous system. Growing evidence indicates that these peripheral tissues can contribute to the symptoms of the disease. New findings in Drosophila have shown that the selective expression of mutant huntingtin in muscle or fat is sufficient to cause detrimental effects in the absence of any neurodegeneration. In addition, it was discovered that a completely different tissue distribution of Htt aggregates in Drosophila muscles is responsible for a drastic aggravation of the detrimental effects. This review examines the peripheral tissues that express huntingtin with an added focus on the nature and distribution of the aggregates, if any.
Uncovering oligodendrocyte enhancers that control Cnp expression
Authors: Fan Chuandong , An Hongjoo , Kim Dongkyeong , Park Yungki 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Oligodendrocytes (OLs) produce myelin sheaths around axons in the central nervous system (CNS). Myelin accelerates the propagation of action potentials along axons and supports the integrity of axons. Impaired myelination has been linked to neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. As a major component of CNS myelin, 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase (CNP) plays an indispensable role in the axon-supportive function of myelin. Notably, this function requires a high-level expression of CNP in OLs, as evidenced by downregulated expression of CNP in mental disorders and animal models. Little is known about how CNP expression is regulated in OLs. Especially, OL enhancers that govern CNP remain elusive. We have recently developed a powerful method that links OL enhancers to target genes in a principled manner. Here, we applied it to Cnp, uncovering two OL enhancers for it (termed Cnp-E1 and Cnp-E2). Epigenome editing analysis revealed that Cnp-E1 and Cnp-E2 are dedicated to Cnp. ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq data show that Cnp-E1 and Cnp-E2 are conserved OL-specific enhancers. Single cell multi-omics data that jointly profile gene expression and chromatin accessibility suggest that Cnp-E2 plays an important role in Cnp expression in the early stage of OL differentiation while Cnp-E1 sustains it in mature OLs.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
One of the main goals of the designers of the power systems is the reduction of extra systems costs. The main part of these costs is related to energy loss, and the methods for loss reduction significantly lead to a cost reduction. The voltage regulators (VRs) can be used along the distribution feeders and the improvement of the network voltage profile results in the loss reduction of the system. However, the important problem is the installation location of this equipment to have the most profitability with the lowest cost. In this paper, the optimal placement of the VRs along the distribution systems is performed using intersect mutation differential evolution algorithm. The method aims to reduce loss and the primary investment and maintenance of the VRs. To this aim, the studies are performed on two scenarios for two standard distribution systems with 33 and 69 buses. A genetic algorithm (GA) is also utilized for the VRs placement to validate the results. The results show that the VRs reduce the loss to about 15% of the maximum system load. Moreover, the improved differential evolution algorithm performs better than the GA and makes the objective function in the minimum value.

Abstract
Malaria can cause brain injury. Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a biomarker of neuronal damage. Here we examined longitudinal plasma NfL levels in children aged 1–12 years with uncomplicated and severe malaria from Mozambique. NfL levels were similar in all malaria cases at hospital admission. However, levels increased over time and the increment was significantly higher in severe malaria cases with neurological manifestations (ie, coma, impaired consciousness, or repeated seizures). NfL may be useful to identify and quantify brain injury in malaria.
