Context In Australia’s Murray–Darling Basin, the invasive common carp (Cyprinus carpio) poses a significant ecological threat. Efforts to manage their population include the potential use of cyprinid herpesvirus (CyHV-3) as a biological control agent. The environmental benefits of carp elimination could be substantial in the long term; our knowledge of the immediate ecological consequences resulting from large-scale fish die-offs remains limited. Aim This study sought to investigate the effect of a large-scale fish-mortality event on water quality. Methods Experiments of an increasing scale (bucket, mesocosm and whole wetland) were conducted to assess how decomposing carp carcasses alter dissolved oxygen and nutrient concentrations in water. Key results In mesocosms, dead carp decayed more rapidly at 18 than 12°C, yielding oxygen demands of 1.022 ± 0.029 and 0.496 ± 0.239 mg kg−1 min−1 respectively. This carp decay released phosphorus, yielding 2121.1 ± 140.4 mg kg−1. In the wetland experiment, carp addition of 2400 kg ha−1 resulted in anoxic conditions over the following 2 weeks. The release of dissolved organic carbon and lipids led to a peak biological oxygen demand of 95.3 mg L−1. Conclusions Carp decomposition considerably contributes to biological oxygen demand and algal growth through nutrient enrichment and is strongly influenced by carp density. Implications The finding highlights key factors to consider before using biocontrol agents causing mass carp mortality, including hypoxia, anoxia and increased risk of harmful algal blooms.
Assessing target and non-target species interactions with buried non-toxic meat baits across fire mosaics

Published: January 2025

Context Lethal 1080 baiting to control invasive predators, or to reduce livestock predation by canids, is a widespread management tool used throughout Australia and New Zealand. Techniques to reduce the impact of 1080 baiting on non-target species exist, but their efficacy, including effects of environmental variation and disturbance on baiting outcomes, remains poorly understood. Aims We aimed to experimentally quantify the extent to which target and non-target species dig up and consume buried baits, and to examine how habitat variation and fire affect such interactions. Methods Remote cameras were deployed for 70 days to monitor the fate of non-toxic baits in the semi-arid Big Desert-Wyperfeld region of southeastern Australia. Species digging up or eating baits (collectively ‘bait interactions’) were identified, and the effects of environmental factors on bait interaction rates were assessed. Key results Non-target species accounted for 128 (88%) of 146 total bait interactions, primarily native mice species. Target species interacted with fewer baits and took longer to record bait interactions, with foxes (Vulpes vulpes) averaging 41 days for 17 bait interactions and one dingo (Canis familiaris/Canis dingo) taking 60 days, whereas native mice interactions occurred after ~13 days. At sites where foxes and dingoes were detected, both target species almost always interacted with baits (83%), whereas non-target species interacted with baits at less than half of the sites they were detected (42%). Areas with greater variation in fire frequency (pyrodiversity) and mid-successional vegetation were associated with more native mice-bait interactions. Conclusions Non-target species interacted with baits more often and sooner than target species, suggesting efforts to reduce predator populations could have inadvertent effects on other species. The influence of fire and vegetation variables on bait interaction rates also highlights the importance of accounting for landscape features when designing lethal control programs. Implications Predator control can benefit native wildlife, and help to reduce livestock loss; however, managers must account for environmental factors that may influence which species are most likely to be affected by toxic baits, and by extension possible broader impacts on ecosystems. Monitoring to assess baiting outcomes and limit the negative consequences for non-target species constitutes best practice.
10 tips for getting past desk screening and out to reviewers
Authors: Guerin Cally 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Recently I took on the role of executive editor of a journal, after contributing as a reviewer and associate
editor for many years. As I’ve gradually come to see more and more of the “back end” of academic journals, it becomes clear that
authors are often unaware of how decisions are made regarding their submissions. This piece is thus written from the perspective
of an editor assessing submissions and making decisions on what to send out to review, and what to return to authors as unsuitable
for the particular journal (that is, desk rejecting). So, rather than writing about research into publication, this
Perspective piece comes from my own insider perspective as an academic journal editor. It’s conversational
rather than strictly academic.
My perspective on research publication is informed from multiple directions. I have a professional background in
teaching English for Academic Purposes to culturally and linguistically diverse international students and as an editor for
academic texts. These days I’m a researcher developer in an Australian university where I teach PhD candidates about research
writing; I review for academic journals; I edit an academic journal; I write about my own research – and I receive peer review
that is not always flattering! I’m a monolingual Anglo-Australian woman, with all of the baggage and privilege that entails.
The evolution of sub-disciplinary linguistic trends
Authors: Martín Pedro , León-Pérez Isabel 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study examines, from a diachronic stand, the linguistic features of research article titles in a particular
journal in the specific field of experimental medical biology, and how the titling trends of this sub-disciplinary community have
evolved over time. Following a corpus-based textual approach, we have compiled a corpus of 360 titles published in the
Journal of Experimental Medicine over the period 1940–2023. We have mainly focused on the analysis of the
length of titles, their prevalent syntactic structures, the types of information elements that they contain, the use of
promotional lexical items, and their frequency of occurrence. The findings revealed an increasing trend to write longer titles
with more complex syntactic structures and more persuasive information elements. The nominal types that were prevalent in the
first decades, indicating the research topic and describing the methods, have been replaced in more recent decades by verbal
constructions which also report on the most salient results and/or conclusions, whose relevance is emphasised by the use of
persuasive lexical items (boosters and hyperbolic language). These findings point to a major shift over the last few decades
towards an increasing promotional slant of academic titling practices in the sub-discipline of experimental medical biology.
Relating gauge gravity to string theory through obstruction
Authors: Cartwright Casey , Flournoy Alex 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this article we provide a more detailed account of the geometry and topology of the composite bundle formalism introduced by Tresguerres (2002 Phys. Rev. D 66 064025) to accommodate gravitation as a gauge theory. In the first half of the article we identify a global structure required by the composite construction which not only exposes how the ordinary frame and tangent bundle expected in general relativity arise but provides the link or connection between these ordinary bundles and the gauge bundles of the composite bundle construction. In the second half of the article we discuss implications of this method of constructing gravity as a fiber bundle for the global structure of spacetime. We find that the underlying manifold of the composite bundle construction is expected to admit, not only a spin structure but also a string structure. As a consequence of our work we are able to extend past work on global structures of physically reasonable spacetime manifolds. It has been shown that in four spacetime dimensions, that if an oriented, Lorentzian, four dimensional manifold is stably casual that it is parallizable, and hence admits a spin structure which allows for chiral spinors. We may now add to this that such a manifold also admits a string structure.
Convergence of Poisson point processes and of optimal transport regularization with application in variational analysis of PET reconstruction
Authors: Mauritz Marco , Wirth Benedikt 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Poisson distributed measurements in inverse problems often stem from Poisson point processes that are observed through discretized or finite-resolution detectors, one of the most prominent examples being positron emission tomography (PET). These inverse problems are typically reconstructed via Bayesian methods. A natural question then is whether and how the reconstruction converges as the signal-to-noise ratio tends to infinity and how this convergence interacts with other parameters such as the detector size. In this article we carry out a corresponding variational analysis for the exemplary Bayesian reconstruction functional from Mauritz et al (2024 SIAM J. Math. Anal.
56 5840–80); Schmitzer et al (2020 IEEE Trans. Med. Imaging
39 1626–35), which considers dynamic PET imaging (i.e. the object to be reconstructed changes over time) and uses an optimal transport regularization.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Conducting research on water collection based on the bionic cactus conical spine structure holds significant importance for arid regions, the key parameters of conical micro array chip (CMAC) affecting the contact area between the micro cones and the fog determine the fog water collection. However, the influence of the conical arrays parameters including cone angle and arrangement on water collection is rarely studied. We present research on the influence of CMAC parameters on fog water collection. The CMACs with different parameters including the cone apex angle and arrangement pattern were designed, and the experiments of the fog water collection were conducted. The experiments explored the impact of arrangement patterns, cone apex angle, the distance and orientation of the CMAC relative to the fog flow, and the surface properties (hydrophilic and hydrophobic) of the CMAC on fog water collection efficiency. Through these experiments, the law of influence of key parameters of the conical arrays on fog water collection efficiency was obtained. The experiments indicate the CMAC with large cone apex angle, hexagonal arrangement and hydrophilic surface has a better water collection efficiency. Further, this research can be beneficial to the advancement and application of water collection devices in arid environments.

Authors: Wang Yuan , Ge Zihui , Liu Jietao , Song Guofeng 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study presents a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) integrated with a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor that utilizes two orthogonal polarization core modes for sensing. The PCF features a thin indium tin oxide layer on the inner channel and lower polished surface, an upper polished surface with a thin gold film, and an inner channel filled with magnetic fluid for magnetic field detection. Additionally, a temperature and refractive index sensitive material polydimethylsiloxane is placed on the lower polished surface, while the upper polished surface is designed for refractive index measurement. This multifunctional PCF-SPR sensor offers a compact and efficient solution for simultaneous detection of magnetic fields, temperature, and refractive index variations. The highest magnetic field sensitivity in the range of 0 ∼ 12 Oe is 11.1 nm/Oe, the highest temperature sensitivity in the range of 20 ∼ 400 °C is −0.5 nm °C−1, and the highest refractive index sensitivity in the range of 1.17 ∼ 1.35 μm is 1000 nm RIU−1 . The designed sensor effectively mitigates the cross-sensitivity issues during concurrent measurements of the magnetic field, temperature, and refractive index simultaneously, presenting significant potential for applications in complex environment, including mineral resource exploration, biochemical analysis, defense weapon manufacturing, geological and environmental assessments.
Enhancing Ω phase thermal stability in Al alloys through interstitial ordering
Authors: Zhou Xiaowei , Wang Liwen , Liu Chunxuan , Qiu Jingwen , Liu Hongrong , Liu Ziran 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Scandium (Sc) can orderly occupy interstitial sites within the Ω phase of aluminum alloys, forming a new phase that significantly enhances the thermal stability of the alloy. However, Sc is relatively expensive and rare. In this work, we employ first-principles calculations to delve into the physical essence interstitial ordering of Sc in enhancing thermal stability at the electronic level, thereby revealing the crucial factors responsible for this improvement. By computationally screening all potential metallic elements across the periodic table, we uncover that, in addition to Sc, a diverse range of elements including lithium (Li), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), and some of rare earth elements (Sm, Ce, Y), possess the potential to contribute to thermal stability enhancement through interstitial ordering mechanisms in aluminum alloys. This study deepens our understanding of microstructural thermal stability and offers novel strategies for designing improved thermally stable Al alloys.
A robust time synchronization algorithm for GNSS/IMU integrated navigation in urban environments
Authors: Li Jiayi , Sun Rui , Wang Yuanyuan , Ochieng Washington Yotto 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) are often integrated with inertial measurement units (IMUs) for navigation in urban environments. The ability of these integrated systems to achieve precise positioning and navigation is highly dependent on accurate time synchronization. While the current time synchronization algorithms are capable of achieving millisecond-level synchronization in open environments, their performance deteriorates significantly in complex urban environments due to the impact on GNSS measurements of non-line-of-sight signals and multipath effects. Here we propose a loosely coupled GNSS/IMU integration time synchronization error modeling and compensation algorithm to tackle this problem in the context of urban vehicle navigation. In the algorithm, the time synchronization error is augmented as a state variable in the robust extended Kalman filter (REKF), with the robustness factor threshold being dynamically adjusted based on the time synchronization error. Furthermore, we have designed a system time synchronization detection scheme based on two detection factors, with the aim of achieving high-precision GNSS/IMU time synchronization in complex urban environments. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm synchronizes data time to the millisecond level in urban positioning environments. This represents an improvement of more than 90% in time synchronization precision compared to the traditional extended Kalman filter (EKF)-based time synchronization algorithm, and an improvement of more than 60% compared to the REKF-based time synchronization algorithm. Furthermore, compared to the EKF-based GNSS/IMU fusion algorithm, the proposed algorithm enhances the accuracy of the determination of both position and velocity in the horizontal and 3D directions by more than 50% and heading accuracy by 85%.
Impact of input power on the transport of OH radicals generated by an atmospheric pressure surface micro-discharge
Authors: Wang Zhiwei , Feng Chunlei , Cui Xiaoqian , Yao Yuan , Ding Hongbin , Chen Longwei 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Surface micro-discharge (SMD) has attracted extensive attention in recent years due to its potential use for a variety of promising applications in the fields of environmental protection, agriculture, and biomedicine. Generally, the plasma is not in direct contact with the treated objects, and the transport of reactive species across the inherent physical distance from the electrode to the treated object is typically assumed to be controlled by electrohydrodynamic force. Power is considered to be the major player when trying to relate plasma parameters to species transport. Here, this paper provides insights into the spatiotemporal evolution of OH radicals transport and the influence of input power on OH transport in an atmospheric pressure helium SMD driven by pulse-modulated power supply using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique. Based on the spatiotemporal evolution of OH transport and the spatial distribution, the delivery distance and velocity were calculated with maximum values of 8 mm and 4.11 m s−1, respectively. The instant velocity decreases by approximately an order of magnitude during the first 3 ms. Through the comparison of optical emission patterns and LIF findings, it is found that an increase in the number of microdischarges in the negative half-cycle can be compensated by the increase in the velocity of the positive streamer, with the result that the propagation velocity of reactive species is nearly independent of the external voltage. Finally, the increase in input power causes an increased OH density rather than an increase in the delivery distance and velocity, and OH radicals mostly exist from a distance of 4 mm. In addition, the lack of a portion of the planar electrode can enhance the transport of reactive species in the direction parallel to the dielectric surface whilst reducing their density at constant input power. Considering both transport distance and flux, the configuration featuring an entire powered electrode demonstrates superior performance.
Tunnel hole injection in a unipolar HgCdTe-based laser diode
Authors: Zholudev M S , Litovchenko O M , Morozov S V 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Construction of a p-doping free HgCdTe-based laser diode is proposed. Hole injection in the active region is done by carrier tunneling from the valence band to the conduction band through the resonance state formed in a series of quantum wells in an external electric field. The charge carriers are localized in the active region by barrier layers with selective resonant tunneling: for holes on one side and for electrons on the other. Calculations of the resonance state providing interband tunneling are carried out.
Everything hot everywhere all at once: neutrinos and hot dark matter as a single effective species
Authors: Upadhye Amol , Mosbech Markus R. , Pierobon Giovanni , Wong Yvonne Y.Y. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Observational cosmology is rapidly closing in on a measurement of the sum Mν
of neutrino masses, at least in the simplest cosmologies, while opening the door to probes of non-standard hot dark matter (HDM) models. By extending the method of effective distributions, we show that any collection of HDM species, with arbitrary masses, temperatures, and distribution functions, including massive neutrinos, may be represented as a single effective HDM species. Implementing this method in the FlowsForTheMasses non-linear perturbation theory for free-streaming particles, we study non-standard HDM models that contain thermal QCD axions or generic bosons in addition to standard neutrinos, as well as non-standard neutrino models wherein either the distribution function of the neutrinos or their temperature is changed. Along the way, we substantially improve the accuracy of this perturbation theory at low masses, bringing it into agreement with the high-resolution TianNu neutrino N-body simulation to ≈ 2% at k = 0.1 h/Mpc and to ≤ 21% over the range k ≤ 1 h/Mpc. We accurately reproduce the results of simulations including axions and neutrinos of multiple masses. Studying the differences between the normal, inverted, and degenerate neutrino mass orderings on their non-linear power, we quantify the error in the common approximation of degenerate masses. We release our code publicly at http://github.com/upadhye/FlowsForTheMassesII.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Molybdenum nitride, renowned for its exceptional physical and chemical properties, has garnered extensive attention and research interest. In this study, we employed first-principles calculations and the CALYPSO structure prediction method to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the crystal structures and electronic properties of molybdenum nitride (MoxN1-x) under high pressure. We discovered two novel high-pressure phases: Imm2-MoN3 and Cmmm-MoN4, and confirmed their stability through the analysis of elastic constants and phonon dispersion curves. Notably, the MoN4 phase, with its high Vickers hardness of 36.9 GPa, demonstrates potential as a hard material. The results of this study have broadened the range of known high-pressure phases of molybdenum nitride, providing groundwork for future theoretical and experimental research.
