description: Although matriliny and matrilocality are relatively rare in contemporary human populations, these female-based descent and residence systems are present in different cultural contexts and across the globe. Previous research has generated numerous hypotheses about which cultural traits are associated with the stability or loss of matrilineal descent. In addition, several studies have examined matrilineal descent with phylogenetic analyses; however, the use of language phylogenies has restricted these analyses to comparisons within a single language family, often confined to a single continent. Cross-cultural comparisons are particularly informative when they account for the relationships between widely distributed populations, as opposed to treating each population as an independent sample or focusing on a single region. Here, we study the evolution of descent systems on a worldwide scale. First, we test for significant associations between matriliny and numerous cultural traits that have been theoretically associated with its stability or loss, such as subsistence strategy, animal domestication, mating system, residence pattern, wealth transfer and property succession. In addition, by combining genetic and linguistic information to build a global supertree that includes 16 matrilineal populations, we also perform phylogenetically controlled analyses to assess the patterns of correlated evolution between descent and other traits: for example, does a change in subsistence strategy generally predict a shift in the rules of descent, or do these transitions happen independently? These analyses enable a worldwide perspective on the pattern and process of the evolution of matriliny and matrilocality.This article is part of the theme issue ‘The evolution of female-biased kinship in humans and other mammals’.

description: We investigate the turbulent properties of a confined driven-dissipative polariton quantum fluid after a pulsed excitation. Using numerical simulations, we provide insight into the vortex clustering processes that emerge during the relaxation dynamics of the initially injected vortex cloud. A confrontation between conservative and non-conservative dynamics reveals that the onset of clusterization strongly depends on the interplay between the different characteristic system lengths and time scales at stake, with an additional time scale due to dissipation in the non-conservative case. Quantification of the clustering observables allows us to numerically characterize the optimal conditions for observing Onsager condensation in decaying polariton systems, demonstrating its experimental reachability under pulse excitation. These findings hold significance for exploring the onset of turbulent dynamics in open systems, spanning both classical and quantum domains.

description: Agricultural production assessments are crucial for formulating strategies for closing yield gaps and enhancing production efficiencies. While in situ crop yield measurements can provide valuable and accurate information, such approaches are costly and lack scalability for large-scale assessments. Therefore, crop modeling and remote sensing (RS) technologies are essential for assessing crop conditions and predicting yields at larger scales. In this study, we combined RS and a crop growth model to assess phenology, evapotranspiration (ET), and yield dynamics at grid and sub-county scales in Kenya. We synthesized RS information from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Water Productivity Open-access portal (WaPOR) to retrieve sowing date information for driving the model simulations. The findings showed that grid-scale management information and progressive crop growth could be accurately derived, reducing the model output uncertainties. Performance assessment of the modeled phenology yielded satisfactory accuracies at the sub-county scale during two representative seasons. The agreement between the simulated ET and yield was improved with the combined RS-crop model approach relative to the crop model only, demonstrating the value of additional large-scale RS information. The proposed approach supports crop yield estimation in data-scarce environments and provides valuable insights for agricultural resource management enabling countermeasures, especially when shortages are perceived in advance, thus enhancing agricultural production.

description: Egyptian faience is a non-clay ceramic semi-transparent material, formed of a quartz core and alkali lime glaze with some cases exhibiting an interaction layer between them. Several possible glazing methods have been identified. Previous investigations have tried to identify the glazing technique by using the microstructure images obtained from polished sections using scanning electron microscope(SEM). Such techniques require sampling which is not feasible on museum collections. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive 3D imaging technique, that produces virtual cross sections of transparent and semi-transparent materials. Liang et al. (2012a) investigated the feasibility of using OCT to non-invasively investigate microstructures of Egyptian faience, but the limited probing depth of the 930nm OCT prevented viewing down to the core of the objects, where the presence of glass was thought to be a distinguishing feature between some of the manufacturing techniques, and where the particle size of the quartz may indicate the difference in the raw material. In this paper, a unique longer wavelength OCT at 2um is used to scan a number of ancient Egyptian faience objects including ring and shabti fragments. It was found that the core of the faience could be imaged at this longer wavelength, allowing comparisons in all the layers within the microstructure, and leading to discussions about the possible glazing methods. The 2um OCT offers the possibilities of rapid, non invasive imaging of faience microstructure down to the core, allowing comprehensive studies of intact objects and large museum collections.

We study the process of synchronization as function of precision of calculations. Two generic behaviors of the average coalescence time are identified: exponential or linear. In both cases no synchronization occurs if iterations are done with {\em infinite} precision.

 Centaurea triumfettii Allioni (1773: 16). Type:— Cyanus major Alpinus incisis foliis, Triumfetti 1685, tab!.
 Taxonomic notes: —In the framework of the Euro+Med PlantBase, Greuter (2020) recognised 4 subspecies for C. triumfettii, subsp. triumfettii, subsp. axillaris, subsp. nanus (Tenore 1831: 447) Greuter in Greuter & Raab-Straube (2005: 229), and subsp. strictus (Waldstein & Kitaibel 1805: 194) Dostál (1984: 14), of which the first two grow in Turkey. Subsp. axillaris differs from subsp. triumfettii by its stems tomentose to subglabrous, cauline leaves lanceolate, uppermost cauline leaves 4–10 mm wide, and median cauline leaves 6–15 mm wide.
 Distribution: — Cyanus triumfettii is widely distributed in mountains of C and S Europe, Crimea, NW Africa, Lebanon, Turkey, N and W Iran, Iraq and Azerbaijan (Wagenitz 1975, 1980, 2019). Cyanus triumfettii subsp. axillaris is a widespread element in Turkey and can be found in most parts of the country, whereas C. triumfettii subsp. triumfettii is mainly distributed in the eastern parts of Turkey (Fig. 9). In addition, the distribution of C. triumfettii subsp. axillaris is wider in comparison to the other subspecies in Turkey.

description: The LHCb collaboration has detected a new hidden-charm pentaquark with the quantum numbers of a $Λ$ baryon: the $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)$. This pentaquark will be interpreted as a $\bar{D}_s Λ_c$-$\bar{D} Ξ_c$ resonance within a contact-range theory. Here we briefly comment on the relation of the new $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)$ with the $P^Λ_{ψs}(4459)$. We find that the $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)$ and $P_{ψs}^Λ(4459)$ both accept a common description in terms of the same parameters, which predicts the existence of a few additional $P_ψ^N$, $P_{ψs}^Λ$, $P_{ψs}^Σ$ and $P_{ψs s}^Ξ$ molecular pentaquarks composed of a charmed antimeson and an antitriplet charmed baryon. The most robust of these predicted pentaquarks is a $P_{ψs}^Λ$ with a mass in the $(4235-4255)\,{\rm MeV}$ range, while other two interesting ones are a $P_ψ^{N}(4150)$ and a $P_ψ^Σ(4335)$, the latter basically at the same mass as the $P_ψ^Λ(4338)$, with which it might mix owing to isospin symmetry breaking effects.

description: Geosteering, a key component of drilling operations, traditionally involves manual interpretation of various data sources such as well-log data. This introduces subjective biases and inconsistent procedures. Academic attempts to solve geosteering decision optimization with greedy optimization and Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) showed promise but lacked adaptivity to realistic diverse scenarios. Reinforcement learning (RL) offers a solution to these challenges, facilitating optimal decision-making through reward-based iterative learning. State estimation methods, e.g., particle filter (PF), provide a complementary strategy for geosteering decision-making based on online information. We integrate an RL-based geosteering with PF to address realistic geosteering scenarios. Our framework deploys PF to process real-time well-log data to estimate the location of the well relative to the stratigraphic layers, which then informs the RL-based decision-making process. We compare our method's performance with that of using solely either RL or PF. Our findings indicate a synergy between RL and PF in yielding optimized geosteering decisions.

We focus on the regime when the size of structures is comparable to or larger than the deformation (Rossby) radius. Numerical simulations show the formation of anticyclonic vortices in unstable shear flows and ring-like vortices with quiescent cores and vorticity concentrated in a ring. Physical mechanisms that lead to these phenomena and their relevance to turbulence in planetary atmospheres are discussed.

description: The value of conducting research around STEAM education (the amalgamation of the arts with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) rests in better understanding current practices and the challenges teachers face when creating, implementing, evaluating, and revising a STEAM curriculum. This ethnographic case study examines how teachers, across different disciplinary content areas, make, utilize, implement, and evaluate STEAM curricula for students to become critical thinkers and create authentic work products. The data consisted of semi-structured interviews, two focus groups, and several observations of four teachers in their planning and implementing STEAM curricula. In the first phase of the study, the researcher mostly observed the process of the participants. At the end of this phase all the participants came together in a focus group to discuss and share their process. In the second phase, the researcher examined how the participants would modify their processes based on their discussions with their colleagues. In addition, the researcher helped guide the teachers in applying these modifications to the STEAM process. The result of these sessions showed how the changes in teachers’ processes in creating, implementing, evaluating, and revising STEAM curricula created more opportunities for students to be critical and creative scholars. The findings from this study may help to inform researchers and educators on best practices to devise, execute, and evaluate STEAM lessons that have the potential to significantly impact students in their academic studies, careers, and futures.

The difference between them consists in the phase factor which is equal to 1 for $U_{q}(A_{1}^{(1)})$ and it is equal to -1 for $U_{q}(C(2)^{(2)})$. We present such a description for the actions of the braid group, for the construction of Cartan-Weyl generators and their commutation relations, as well for the extremal projector and the universal R-matrix. We give also a unified description for the 'new realizations' of these algebras together with explicit calculations of corresponding R-matrices.

description: On 30 December 2019, the Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases notified the world about a pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, China. Since then, scientists have made remarkable progress in understanding the causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), its transmission, pathogenesis, and mitigation by vaccines, therapeutics, and non-pharmaceutical interventions. Yet more investigation is still needed to determine the origin of the pandemic. Theories of accidental release from a lab and zoonotic spillover both remain viable. Knowing how COVID-19 emerged is critical for informing global strategies to mitigate the risk of future outbreaks.

description: Suppose $N$ independent Bernoulli trials are observed sequentially at random times of a mixed binomial process. The task is to maximise, by using a nonanticipating stopping strategy, the probability of stopping at the last success. We focus on the version of the problem where the $k^\text{th}$ trial is a success with probability $p_k=θ/(θ+k-1)$ and the prior distribution of $N$ is negative binomial with shape parameter $ν$. Exploring properties of the Gaussian hypergeometric function, we find that the myopic stopping strategy is optimal if and only if $ν\geqθ$. We derive formulas to assess the winning probability and discuss limit forms of the problem for large $N$.

description: We present early time light curves of Type Ia supernovae observed in the first six sectors of TESS data. Ten of these supernovae were discovered by ASAS-SN, seven by ATLAS, six by ZTF, and one by \textit{Gaia}. For nine SNe with sufficient dynamic range ($>$3.0 mag from detection to peak), we fit power law models and search for signatures of companion stars. We find a diversity of early time light curve shapes, although most of our sources are consistent with fireball models where the flux increases $\propto t^2$. Three SN display a flatter rise with flux $\propto t$. We do not find any evidence for additional structure such as multiple power law components in the early rising light curves. For assumptions about the SN properties and the observer viewing angle, and further assuming that companion stars would be in Roche-lobe overflow, we place limits on the radii of companions for six SNe with complete coverage of the early time light curves. The upper limits are $\lesssim$\,32 R$_\odot$ for these six supernovae, $\lesssim$\,20 R$_\odot$ for five of these six, and $\lesssim$\,4 R$_\odot$ for two of these six. The small sample size does not constrain occurrence rates of single degenerate Type Ia SN progenitors, but we expect that TESS observed enough SNe in its primary mission (26 sectors) to inform this measurement. We also show that TESS is capable of detecting emission from a 1 \rsun\ companion for a Type Ia SN within 50 Mpc, and may do so after about six years.

description: The thermodynamic formalism expresses chaotic properties of dynamical systems in terms of the Ruelle pressure $ψ(β)$. The inverse-temperature like variable $β$ allows one to scan the structure of the probability distribution in the dynamic phase space. This formalism is applied here to a Lorentz Lattice Gas, where a particle moving on a lattice of size $L^d$ collides with fixed scatterers placed at random locations. Here we give rigorous arguments that the Ruelle pressure in the limit of infinit e systems has two branches joining with a slope discontinuity at $β= 1$. The low and high $β$--branches correspond to localization of trajectories on respectively the ``most chaotic'' (highest density) region, and the ``most deterministic'' (lowest density) region, i.e. $ψ(β)$ is completely controlled by rare fluctuations in the distribution of scatterers on the lattice, and it does not carry any information on the global structure of the static disorder. As $β$ approaches unity from either side, a localization-delocalization transition leads to a state where trajectories are extended and carry information on transport properties. At finite $L$ the narrow region around $β= 1$ where the trajectories are extended scales as $(\ln L)^{-α}$, where $α$ depends on the sign of $1-β$, if $d>1$, and as $(L\ln L)^{-1}$ if $d=1$. This result appears to be general for diffusive systems with static disorder, such as random walks in random environments or for the continuous Lorentz gas. Other models of random walks on disordered lattices, showing the same phenomenon, are discussed.

THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF NANOPARTICLES CONJUGATED WITH DRUG IN RELIEVING COLON RELATED DISORDERS

description: Globally, the prevalence of illnesses associated to the colon is increasing, with notable regional and national differences in disease patterns and levels. Drug administration can occur in the colon both locally and systemically. Topical therapy of inflammatory bowel disease is made possible by local delivery. On the other hand, if the medications are able to target the colon directly, the systemic adverse effects can be minimized and the treatment become more successful. Among the many benefits of nanoparticles is their larger volume/surface ratio, which increases the drug's contact area at the same dose and improves delivery efficiency. This may lessen the toxicity and adverse effects of drugs. Additionally, nanoparticles' easily modifiable surface enables the creation of sustained release mechanisms. By utilizing the physicochemical alterations that many colonic disorders cause, such as an increase in the infiltration of immune cells that are amenable to targeting in the colon, new developments have improved colon targeting nanosystems. This page provides an overview of diseases connected to the colon, colon-specific drug delivery strategies, an overview of nanoparticles, and a list of previously developed nanoparticulate drug delivery methods for the treatment of colon problems.

description: Feller (1945) provided a coupling between the counts of cycles of various sizes in a uniform random permutation of $[n]$ and the spacings between successes in a sequence of $n$ independent Bernoulli trials with success probability $1/n$ at the $n$th trial. Arratia, Barbour and Tavaré (1992) extended Feller's coupling, to associate cycles of random permutations governed by the Ewens $(θ)$ distribution with spacings derived from independent Bernoulli trials with success probability $θ/(n-1+θ)$ at the $n$th trial, and to conclude that in an infinite sequence of such trials, the numbers of spacings of length $\ell$ are independent Poisson variables with means $θ/\ell$. Ignatov (1978) first discovered this remarkable result in the uniform case $θ= 1$, by constructing Bernoulli $(1/n)$ trials as the indicators of record values in a sequence of i.i.d. uniform $[0,1]$ variables. In the present article, the Poisson property of inhomogeneous Bernoulli spacings is explained by a variation of Ignatov's approach for a general $θ>0$. Moreover, our approach naturally provides random permutations of infinite sets whose cycle counts are exactly given by independent Poisson random variables.

description: The alleged existence of sluggish diffusion in high entropy alloys has drawn controversy. In high entropy alloys, and in general in all solids, transport properties are controlled by point defect concentration, which must be known before performing atomistic simulations to compute transport coefficients. In this work, we present a general Langmuir-like model for defect concentration in an arbitrarily complex solid solution and apply this model to generate expressions for concentrations of vacancies and small interstitial atoms. We then calculate the vacancy concentration as a function of temperature in the equiatomic CoNiCrFeMn and FeAl alloys with modified embedded-atom-method potentials for various chemical orderings, showing there is no clear correlation between vacancy thermodynamics and chemical ordering in the CoNiCrFeMn alloy but clear systematic patterns for FeAl. We believe this is due to the high stability of disordered, random and ordered, intermetallic phases respectively in the CoNiCrFeMn and FeAl systems. This work provides future avenues to the prediction of thermal interstitials and vacancies in solid solutions, which is necessary for models of non-equilibrium behavior of solid solutions.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with an insidious wave of psychological stress among healthcare personnel (HCP) in Asia. Mental exhaustion, burnout, fear, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and psychological stress among HCPs have intensified a daunting challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic. The consequences of such stress may negatively impact patient and HCP safety. This review article reports the associations of mental health status attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic among HCP and their impact on patient safety, and infection prevention and control practices during pandemics.

description: The determinant for complex matrices cannot be extended to quaternionic matrices. Instead, the Study determinant and the closely related $q$-determinant are widely used. We show that the Study determinant can be characterized as the unique functional which extends the {\em absolute value} of the complex determinant and discuss its spectral and linear algebraic aspects.

description: We study the degree of an $L$-Lipschitz map between Riemannian manifolds, proving new upper bounds and constructing new examples. For instance, if $X_k$ is the connected sum of $k$ copies of $\mathbb CP^2$ for $k \ge 4$, then we prove that the maximum degree of an $L$-Lipschitz self-map of $X_k$ is between $C_1 L^4 (\log L)^{-4}$ and $C_2 L^4 (\log L)^{-1/2}$. More generally, we divide simply connected manifolds into three topological types with three different behaviors. Each type is defined by purely topological criteria. For scalable simply connected $n$-manifolds, the maximal degree is $\sim L^n$. For formal but non-scalable simply connected $n$-manifolds, the maximal degree grows roughly like $L^n (\log L)^{θ(1)}$. And for non-formal simply connected $n$-manifolds, the maximal degree is bounded by $L^α$ for some $α< n$.
