Published: August 2022

Abstract
The problem of the emergence of illegal dumps in rural areas is considered in the article on the example of the Tashkent region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. It was revealed that the sizes of illegal disposal fields vary from 1.0 to 18,895 m2, there are dumps for building materials from construction sites, agricultural, household waste, as well as mixed landfills. The continuity of the layer of illegal dumps ranges from 60 to 100%. The roadsides also present long stretched illegal dumps with a continuity of the waste layer from 10 to 42%. For a full-scale assessment of the location, size and composition of illegal dumps, it is recommended to develop a GIS monitoring system.

Abstract
African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fingerlings (in average 70 g) were stocked to 3 cages (300 m3 each) with stocking rate 22 pieces/m3 in Tuybuguz reservoir (Uzbekistan). Catfish were fed a mixture of minced fresh chicken sub-products and fishmeal (60:40) until fish reached 500 g (July 22, 2021). During the period of fish growth from 500 g to 1000 g (until September 1, 2021), they were fed only with minced meat from the chicken sub-products. Fish larger than 1000 g (until October 15, 2021) were fed with whole, unprocessed chicken legs, heads and stomachs of broiler chickens. During the vegetation season (5 months), catfish grew to an average weight of 1300 g. Feed conversion ratio of minced meat from a mixture of chicken sub-products and fishmeal was 2.5; whole heads, legs and stomachs - 3.1, minced meat from fresh offal - 4.1.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
The article shows that irrigation of wheat on irrigated meadow soil at an irrigation rate of 800-1000 m3/ha with water of various mineralization did not lead to significant changes in the soil-absorbing complex. The amount of cations after three years of irrigation with water of different salinity remains practically unchanged. But there is a tendency to change in the direction of increasing the amount of absorbed sodium, which did not lead to a state of salinity of irrigated soils.

Authors: Rasakhodzhaev B S , Akhmadjanov U Z , Boboeva M O , Mashrapova I R , Tokonova T S 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The article studies the thermal regimes of solar greenhouses for individual purposes, taking into account their design features. According to the results of the calculations, it was found that, according to the shape of the structure of solar greenhouses, for example, a rectangle with a triangular coating, with the same areas, but with different designs of single-slope and double-slope solar greenhouses with a total area of 42 m2, has a difference in heat load of 225 W. The thermal load in relation to the total percentage is 27% in single-slope and 37% in double-slope solar greenhouses. Depending on the outside temperature, to maintain the temperature inside the solar greenhouse, it is necessary to vary the heating height, that is, to reduce or increase the heating height inside the greenhouse. This ensures the minimization of energy consumption and optimal heating of the air inside the solar greenhouses.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Pressure is one of the key parameters in the operation of technological systems of heat and power processes. The creation of a device that would allow measuring the pressure inside the pipeline without violating its integrity, stability, tightness and would not affect the coolant will significantly simplify the maintenance of heat and power systems and improve the efficiency of their operation. The team of authors has formed a hypothesis according to which it is possible to obtain the pressure value based on the rate of stabilization of temperature flows in the heat pipe. It is assumed that the pressure can have a sufficient effect, for registration by instruments, on the dynamic characteristics of thermal processes occurring inside thermal power systems.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Increased life expectancy has led to an increase in the use of bone substitutes in numerous nations, with over two million bone-grafting surgeries performed worldwide each year. A bone defect can be caused by trauma, infections, and tissue resections which can self-heal due to the osteoconductive nature of the native extracellular matrix components. However, natural self-healing is time-consuming, and new bone regeneration is slow, especially for large bone defects. It also remains a clinical challenge for surgeons to have a suitable bone substitute. To date, there are numerous potential treatments for bone grafting, including gold-standard autografts, allograft implantation, xenografts, or bone graft substitutes. Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA) are the most extensively used and studied bone substitutes due to their similar chemical composition to bone. The scaffolds should be tested in vivo and in vitro using suitable animal models to ensure that the biomaterials work effectively as implants. Hence, this article aims to familiarize readers with the most frequently used animal models for biomaterials testing and highlight the available literature for in vivo studies using small and large animal models. This review summarizes the bioceramic materials, particularly HA and β-TCP scaffolds, for bone defects in small and large animal models. Besides, the design considerations for the pre-clinical animal model selection for bone defect implants are emphasized and presented.
Current status of n-type SnS: paving the way for SnS homojunction solar cells
Authors: Suzuki Issei , Kawanishi Sakiko , Omata Takahisa , Yanagi Hiroshi 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Orthorhombic SnS is a promising thin-film solar-cell material composed of safe and abundant elements with suitable optical properties for photovoltaic application. For approximately two decades, SnS solar cells have employed heterojunction structures with p-type SnS and other n-type semiconductors because undoped SnS typically exhibits p-type electrical conduction. However, their conversion efficiency has remained stagnant at 4%–5% for a long time. A breakthrough is required to significantly improve their conversion efficiencies before SnS solar cells can be put into practical use. Therefore, this comprehensive review article establishes the current state of the art in SnS solar cells, with an aim to accelerate both fundamental research and practical applications in this field. We discuss issues specific to SnS heterojunction solar cells, the advantages of the homojunction structure, and summarize recent advances in the n-type conversion of SnS by impurity doping, which is required to form a homojunction. The latter half of this article describes the latest research on the fabrication of n-type single crystals and films of halogen-doped n-type SnS, which is prepared via a doping system suitable for practical use. We conclude the article by summarizing the current status and future work on SnS homojunction devices, including the development of high-efficiency multi-junction SnS solar cells by band gap engineering.

Abstract
Transport accounts for 24% of global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. Governments face challenges in developing feasible and equitable mitigation strategies to reduce energy consumption and manage the transition to low-carbon transport systems. To meet the local and global transport emission reduction targets, policymakers need more realistic/sophisticated future projections of transport demand to better understand the speed and depth of the actions required to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. In this paper, we argue that the lack of access to high-quality data on the current and historical travel demand and interdisciplinary research hinders transport planning and sustainable transitions toward low-carbon transport futures. We call for a greater interdisciplinary collaboration agenda across open data, data science, behaviour modelling, and policy analysis. These advancemets can reduce some of the major uncertainties and contribute to evidence-based solutions toward improving the sustainability performance of future transport systems. The paper also points to some needed efforts and directions to provide robust insights to policymakers. We provide examples of how these efforts could benefit from the International Transport Energy Modeling Open Data project and open science interdisciplinary collaborations.
Probabilistic fair behaviors spark its boost in the Ultimatum game: the strength of good Samaritans
Authors: Zheng Guozhong , Zhang Jiqiang , Liang Rizhou , Ma Lin , Chen Li 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Behavioral experiments on the Ultimatum game have shown that we human beings have a remarkable preference in fair play, contradicting the predictions by the game theory. Most of the existing models seeking for explanations, however, strictly follow the assumption of Homo economicus in orthodox economics that people are self-interested and fully rational to maximize their earnings. Here we relax this assumption by allowing that people probabilistically choose to be ‘good Samaritans’, acting as fair players from time to time. For well-mixed and homogeneously structured populations, we numerically show that as this probability increases the level of fairness undergoes from the low scenario abruptly to the full fairness state, where occasional fair behaviors

are sufficient to drive the whole population to behave in the half–half split manner. We also develop a mean-field theory, which correctly reproduces the first-order phase transition and points out the reason. Heterogeneously structured populations, however, display continuous fairness transition; surprisingly, very few hub nodes acting as fair players are able to entrain the whole population to the full fairness state. Our results thus reveal the unexpected strength of ‘good Samaritans’, which may constitute a new explanation for the emergence of fairness in our society.
A class of weighted isoperimetric inequalities in hyperbolic space
Authors: Li Haizhong , Xu Botong 
Published: August 2022

In this paper, we prove a class of weighted isoperimetric inequalities for bounded domains in hyperbolic space by using the isoperimetric inequality with log-convex density in Euclidean space. As a consequence, we remove the horo-convex assumption of domains in a weighted isoperimetric inequality proved by Scheuer-Xia [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 372 (2019), pp. 6771–6803]. Furthermore, we prove weighted isoperimetric inequalities for star-shaped domains in warped product manifolds. Particularly, we obtain a weighted isoperimetric inequality for star-shaped hypersurfaces lying outside a certain radial coordinate slice in the anti-de Sitter-Schwarzschild manifold.

Our results also imply approximate solutions to natural hypergraph versions of long-standing graph decomposition problems, as well as several decomposition results for (quasi)random simplicial complexes into various more elementary simplicial complexes such as triangulations of spheres and other manifolds.
Is the Product Method More Efficient Than the Difference Method for Assessing Mediation?
Authors: Cheng Chao , Spiegelman Donna , Li Fan 
Published: August 2022

AbstractMediation analysis is widely used in biomedical research to quantify the extent to which the effect from an exposure on a health outcome is through a mediator and the extent to which the effect is direct. A traditional approach for quantifying mediation is through the difference method. The other popular approach uses a counterfactual framework from which the product method arises. However, there is little prior work to articulate which method is more efficient for estimating 2 key quantities in mediation analysis, the natural indirect effect and mediation proportion. To fill in this gap, we investigated the asymptotic relative efficiency for mediation measure estimators given by the product method and the difference method. We considered 4 data types characterized by continuous and binary mediators and outcomes. Under certain conditions, we show analytically that the product method is equally efficient to the difference method, or more efficient. However, our numerical studies demonstrate that the difference method is usually at least 90% as efficient as the product method under realistic scenarios in epidemiologic research, especially for estimating the mediation proportion. We demonstrate the efficiency results by analyzing the MaxART study (Eswatini, 2014–2017), which aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the early access to antiretroviral therapy among human immunodeficiency virus–positive patients.
Overcoming Language Barriers in Academia: Machine Translation Tools and a Vision for a Multilingual Future

Published: August 2022

abstractHaving a central scientific language remains crucial for advancing and globally sharing science. Nevertheless, maintaining one dominant language also creates barriers to accessing scientific careers and knowledge. From an interdisciplinary perspective, we describe how, when, and why to make scientific literature more readily available in multiple languages through the practice of translation. We broadly review the advantages and limitations of neural machine translation systems and propose that translation can serve as both a short- and a long-term solution for making science more resilient, accessible, globally representative, and impactful beyond the academy. We outline actions that individuals and institutions can take to support multilingual science and scientists, including structural changes that encourage and value translating scientific literature. In the long term, improvements to machine translation technologies and collective efforts to change academic norms can transform a monolingual scientific hub into a multilingual scientific network. Translations are available in the supplemental material.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
The Southern Ocean surrounding the Western Antarctic Peninsula region is rapidly warming. Survival of members of the dominant suborder of Antarctic fishes, the Notothenioidei, will likely require thermal plasticity and adaptive capacity in key traits delimiting thermal tolerance. Herein, we have assessed the thermal plasticity of several cellular and biochemical pathways, many of which are known to be associated with thermal tolerance in notothenioids, including mitochondrial function, activities of aerobic and anaerobic enzymes, antioxidant defences, protein ubiquitination and degradation in cardiac, oxidative skeletal muscles and gill of Notothenia coriiceps warm acclimated to 4°C for 22 days or 5°C for 42 days. Levels of triacylglycerol (TAG) were measured in liver and oxidative and glycolytic skeletal muscles, and glycogen in liver and glycolytic muscle to assess changes in energy stores. Metabolic pathways displayed minimal thermal plasticity, yet antioxidant defences were lower in heart and oxidative skeletal muscles of warm-acclimated animals compared with animals held at ambient temperature. Despite higher metabolic rates at elevated temperature, energy storage depots of TAG and glycogen increase in liver and remain unchanged in muscle with warm acclimation. Overall, our studies reveal that N. coriiceps displays thermal plasticity in some key traits that may contribute to their survival as the Southern Ocean continues to warm.
