description: Reproducibility is a fundamental principle in science, ensuring reliable and valid findings. However, replication studies are scarce, particularly in ecology, due to the emphasis on novelty for publication. We explored the possibility of replicating original findings in the field of microbial and chemical ecology by conducting a conceptual replication of a previous study analysing the sex-specific differences in the microbial communities inhabiting the wing sacs, a scent organ with crucial functions in olfactory communication, of greater sac-winged bat (Saccopteryx bilineata). In the original study, the skin swabs from the antebrachial wing sacs of the males and wing sac rudiments of the females were analysed using culture-dependent methods to test sex-specific differences. The authors demonstrated that males have lower microbial richness and different microbial composition than females. We attempted to reproduce these findings using 16S rRNA sequencing, which offers improved accuracy in pinpointing microbial members than culture-dependent methods because of advanced statistical methods. Our study validated the original study’s findings: Males had a lower microbial richness, and the community composition differed between the sexes. Furthermore, in the current study, males had an increased abundance of bacteria that might potentially be involved in odour production and degradation of malodorous substances and antimicrobial production. Our conceptual replication study corroborated that microbes can play a role in shaping their host’s olfactory phenotype and consequently influence sexual selection. Furthermore, the current study emphasises the importance of replication efforts and hopefully encourages a culture that values replication studies in scientific practice.

description: I calculate the potential of a pointlike particle carrying SU$(N_c)$ charge in a gauge theory with a dilaton. The solution depends on boundary conditions imposed on the dilaton: For a dilaton that vanishes at infinity the resulting potential is of the form $(r+r_ϕ)^{-1}$, with $r_ϕ$ inverse proportional to the decay constant of the dilaton. Another natural constraint for the dilaton $ϕ$ is independence of $\frac{1}{g^2}\exp(\fracϕ{f_ϕ})$ from the gauge coupling $g$. This requirement yields a potential proportional to $r$ and makes it impossible to create an isolated SU$(N_c)$ charge.

description: The scientific literature is growing exponentially, and professionals are no more able to cope with the current amount of publications. Text mining provided in the past methods to retrieve and extract information from text; however, most of these approaches ignored tables and figures. The research done in mining table data still does not have an integrated approach for mining that would consider all complexities and challenges of a table. Our research is examining the methods for extracting numerical (number of patients, age, gender distribution) and textual (adverse reactions) information from tables in the clinical literature. We present a requirement analysis template and an integral methodology for information extraction from tables in clinical domain that contains 7 steps: (1) table detection, (2) functional processing, (3) structural processing, (4) semantic tagging, (5) pragmatic processing, (6) cell selection and (7) syntactic processing and extraction. Our approach performed with the F-measure ranged between 82 and 92%, depending on the variable, task and its complexity.

description: The effect of quenched random ferromagnetic bonds on the antiferromagnetic correlation length of a two--dimensional Heisneberg model is studied, applying the renormalization group method to the classical non--linear sigma model with quenched random dipole moments. It is found that the antiferromagnetic long range order is destroyed for any non--zero concentration, of the dipolar defects, even at zero temperature. Below a line T ~ concentration, the correlation length is independent of T, and decreases exponentially with concentration. At higher temperatures, itdecays exponentially with an effective stiffness constant which decreases with concentration/T. The results are used to estimate the three--dimensional Néel temperature, which decays linearly with $x$ at small concentrations, and drops precipitously at a critical concentration. These predictions are compared with experiments on doped copper oxides, and are shown to reproduce successfully some of the prominent features of the data.

description: The dynamics of a 90$^{\circ }$ domain wall in an antiferromagnetic nanostrip driven by the current-induced spin-orbital torque are theoretically examined in the presence of random thermal fluctuations. A soliton-type equation of motion is developed on the basis of energy balance between the driving forces and dissipative processes in terms of the domain wall velocity. Comparison with micromagnetic simulations in the deterministic conditions shows good agreement in both the transient and steady-state transport. When the effects of random thermal fluctuations are included via a stochastic treatment, the results clearly indicate that the dispersion in the domain wall position can be controlled electrically by tailoring the strength and duration of the driving current mediating the spin orbital torque in the antiferromagnet. More specifically, the standard deviation of the probability distribution function for the domain wall movement can be tuned widely while maintaining the average position unaffected. Potential applications of this unusual functionality include the probabilistic computing such as Bayesian learning.

description: Tracking livestock abortion patterns over time and across factors such as species and agroecological zones (AEZs) could inform policies to mitigate disease emergence, zoonoses risk, and reproductive losses. We conducted a year-long population-based active surveillance of livestock abortion between 2019 and 2020, in administrative areas covering 52% of Kenya’s landmass and home to 50% of Kenya’s livestock. Surveillance sites were randomly selected to represent all AEZs in the country. Local animal health practitioners electronically transmitted weekly abortion reports from each ward, the smallest administrative unit, to a central server, using a simple short messaging service (SMS). Data were analyzed descriptively by administrative unit, species, and AEZ to reveal spatiotemporal patterns and relationships with rainfall and temperature. Of 23,766 abortions reported in all livestock species, sheep and goats contributed 77%, with goats alone contributing 53%. Seventy-seven per cent (n = 18,280) of these abortions occurred in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) that primarily practice pastoralism production systems. While spatiotemporal clustering of cases was observed in May-July 2019 in the ASALs, there was a substantial seasonal fluctuation across AEZs. Kenya experiences high livestock abortion rates, most of which go unreported. We recommend further research to document the national true burden of abortions. In ASALs, studies linking pathogen, climate, and environmental surveillance are needed to assign livestock abortions to infectious or non-infectious aetiologies and conducting human acute febrile illnesses surveillance to detect any links with the abortions.
Transport in quantum wells in the presence of interface roughness

description: The effective Hamiltonian for two dimensional quantum wells with rough interfaces is formally derived. Two new terms are generated. The first term is identified to the local energy level fluctuations, which was introduced phenomenologically in the literature for interface roughness scattering but is now shown to be valid only for an infinite potential well or Hamiltonians with one single length scale. The other term is shown to modulate the wavefunction and cause fluctuations in the charge density. This will further reduce the electron mobility to the magnitude that is close to the experimental result.

CBC MODE BASED IMAGE ENCRYPTION TECHNIQUE USING ARNOLD TRANSFORMATION
Creators: name: Dey, Dipankar
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2022
Subjects: Computer Engineering

description: This article focuses on a new CBC mode-based image encryption algorithm where a grayscale standard image has been taken as an input. The input image is scrambled using Arnold transformation and then applies the CBC mode to finally encrypt the image. The Full form of CBC is “Cipher Block Chaining Mode". In this algorithm, a series of Cipher blocks have been created and each of the successor blocks has been connected with each of the predecessor blocks. Besides of it, a series of strongest random secret keys has been created with respect to each of the successor cipher blocks. These secret keys and the CBC block apply to a standard grayscale image and finally create the desired encryption image. This scheme has been examined by different statistical tools such as NPCR, UACI, Entropy, Histogram analysis, and Correlation coefficients. The different experimental results state that this scheme is secure from different types of attacks and also proved the straightness properties of this proposed scheme.

description: Clinical experience has shown that patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may develop ankle symptoms. This habilitation aimed to analyze if this phenomenon could be replicated in a clinical trial. Another goal was to understand the biomechanical mechanisms which are responsible for ankle pain after TKA. In retrospective as well as prospective clinical trials it could be proven that about 20-25 % of the patients after TKA developed ankle pain after TKA. Preoperatively, the presented studies here could show that the hind foot is unable to sufficiently compensate for high-grade frontal deformities of the knee which can ultimately lead to osteoarthritis at the ankle joint. In another publication on the preoperative status it could be demonstrated that high-grade frontal deformities at the knee joint do not induce ligamentous ankle instabilities. Risk factors for developing ankle pain after TKA were identified. Patients with varus knee osteoarthritis and increased ankle pain after TKA had an increased talar tilt on radiographs already before the operation which could not be corrected by TKA. Patients with valgus knee osteoarthritis and increased ankle pain after TKA had a pathologically lateralized gait line before the operation. These studies underscore the importance to clinically evaluate the ankle joint before TKA in order not to miss patients who could potentially develop ankle pain. Patients with varus knee osteoarthritis and a pathologically increased talar tilt could benefit from insoles with a lateral wedge if they develop ankle pain after TKA. Patients with valgus knee osteoarthritis and a pathologically lateralized gait pattern could be treated using physiotherapy.

description: A new optimized extreme learning machine- (ELM-) based method for power system transient stability prediction (TSP) using synchrophasors is presented in this paper. First, the input features symbolizing the transient stability of power systems are extracted from synchronized measurements. Then, an ELM classifier is employed to build the TSP model. And finally, the optimal parameters of the model are optimized by using the improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm. The novelty of the proposal is in the fact that it improves the prediction performance of the ELM-based TSP model by using IPSO to optimize the parameters of the model with synchrophasors. And finally, based on the test results on both IEEE 39-bus system and a large-scale real power system, the correctness and validity of the presented approach are verified.

description: Requiring that supersymmetric SU(5) and SU(6) grand unifications in the heterotic string theory must have 3 chiral families, adjoint (or higher representation) Higgs fields in the grand unifiedgauge group, and a non-abelian hidden sector, we construct such string models within the framework of conformal field theory and asymmetric orbifolds. Within this framework, we construct all such string models via Z_6 asymmetric orbifolds that include a Z_3 outer-automorphism, the latter yielding a level-3 current algebra for the grand unification gauge group SU(5) or SU(6). We then classify all such Z_6 asymmetric orbifolds that result in models with a non-abelian hidden sector. All models classified in this paper have only one adjoint (but no otherhigher representation) Higgs field in the grand unified gauge group. This Higgs field is neutral under all other gauge symmetries. The list of hidden sectors for 3-family SU(6) string models are SU(2), SU(3) and $SU(2) \otimes SU(2)$. In addition to these, 3-family SU(5) string models can also have an SU(4) hidden sector. Some of the models have an anomalous U(1).

description: We have studied the electronic properties of the ladder compound $α'$-NaV$_{2}$O$_{5}$, adopting a joint experimental and theoretical approach. The momentum-dependent loss function was measured using electron energy-loss spectroscopy in transmission. The optical conductivity derived from the loss function by a Kramers-Kronig analysis agrees well with our results from LSDA+U band-structure calculations upon application of an antiferromagnetic alignment of the V~3$d_{xy}$ spins along the legs and an on-site Coulomb interaction U of between 2 and 3 eV. The decomposition of the calculated optical conductivity into contributions from transitions between selected energy regions of the DOS reveals the origin of the observed anisotropy of the optical conductivity. In addition, we have investigated the plasmon excitations related to transitions between the vanadium states within an effective 16 site vanadium cluster model. Good agreement between the theoretical and experimental loss function was obtained using the hopping parameters derived from the tight binding fit to the band-structure and moderate Coulomb interactions between the electrons within the ab plane.

description: Multi-qubit quantum Rabi model, which is a fundamental model describing light-matter interaction, plays an important role in various physical systems. In this paper, we propose a theoretical method to simulate multi-qubit quantum Rabi model in a circuit quantum electrodynamics system. By means of external transversal and longitudinal driving fields, an effective Hamiltonian describing the multi-qubit quantum Rabi model is derived. The effective frequency of the resonator and the effective splitting of the qubits depend on the external driving fields. By adjusting the frequencies and the amplitudes of the driving fields, the stronger coupling regimes could be reached. The numerical simulation shows that our proposal works well in a wide range of parameter space. Moreover, our scheme can be utilized to generate two-qubit gate, Schrödinger states, and multi-qubit GHZ states. The maximum displacement of the Schrödinger cat states can be enhanced by increasing the number of the qubits and the relative coupling strength. It should be mention that we can obtain high fidelity Schrödinger cat states and multi-qubit GHZ states even the system suffering dissipation. The presented proposal may open a way to study the stronger coupling regimes whose coupling strength is far away from ultrastrong coupling regimes.

description: To navigate through their immediate environment humans process scene information rapidly. How does the cascade of neural processing elicited by scene viewing to facilitate navigational planning unfold over time? To investigate, we recorded human brain responses to visual scenes with electroencephalography and related those to computational models that operationalize three aspects of scene processing (2D, 3D, and semantic information), as well as to a behavioral model capturing navigational affordances. We found a temporal processing hierarchy: navigational affordance is processed later than the other scene features (2D, 3D, and semantic) investigated. This reveals the temporal order with which the human brain computes complex scene information and suggests that the brain leverages these pieces of information to plan navigation.

description: The field of business and human rights has attracted widespread attention during the last decades in academia and practice. Still, there has been relatively little attention to it by South East European states. Governments of the region lack a coherent engagement with the implications of corporate activities on human rights and the rule of law. This is demonstrated by the absence of National Action Plans on Business and Human Rights and specific regulations or policies on corporate accountability. At the same time, most countries in the region, ravaged by recent conflict and deep financial crises, compete to attract investment and trade, resulting in adopting lax laws in terms of social issues, environment, and labour. This paper aims to provide the first overview of developments and challenges related to business and human rights in Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia, and Turkey.

description: We propose a schematic setup of quantum key distribution (QKD) with an improved secret key rate based on high-dimensional quantum states. Two degrees-of-freedom of a single photon, orbital angular momentum modes, and multi-path modes, are used to encode secret key information. Its practical implementation consists of optical elements that are within the reach of current technologies such as a multiport interferometer. We show that the proposed feasible protocol has improved the secret key rate with much sophistication compared to the previous 2-dimensional protocol known as the detector-device-independent QKD.

description: In mammalian societies, dominance hierarchies translate into inequalities in health, reproductive performance and survival. DNA methylation is thought to mediate the effects of social status on gene expression and phenotypic outcomes, yet a study of social status-specific DNA methylation profiles in different age classes in a wild social mammal is missing. We tested for social status signatures in DNA methylation profiles in wild female spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta), cubs and adults, using non-invasively collected gut epithelium samples. In spotted hyena clans, female social status influences access to resources, foraging behavior, health, reproductive performance and survival. We identified 149 differentially methylated regions between 42 high- and low-ranking female spotted hyenas (cubs and adults). Differentially methylated genes were associated with energy conversion, immune function, glutamate receptor signalling and ion transport. Our results provide evidence that socio-environmental inequalities are reflected at the molecular level in cubs and adults in a wild social mammal.

description: The propagation of an initially localized excitation in one dimensional incommensurate, quasiperiodic and random systems is investigated numerically. It is discovered that the time evolution of variances $σ^2(t)$ of atom displacements depends on the initial condition. For the initial condition with nonzero momentum, $σ^2(t)$ goes as $t^α$ with $α=1$ and 0 for incommensurate Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model at $V$ below and above $V_c$ respectively; and $α=1$ for uniform, quasiperiodic and random chains. It is also found that $α=1-β$ with $β$ the exponent of distribution function of frequency at zero frequency, i.e., $ρ(ω)\sim ω^β$ (as $ω\to 0$). For the initial condition with zero momentum, $α=0$ for all systems studied. The underlying physical meaning of this diffusive behavior is discussed.

description: A main objective of topological photonics is the design of disorder-resilient optical devices. Many prospective applications would benefit from nonlinear effects, which not only are naturally present in real systems but also are needed for switching in computational processes, while the underlying particle interactions are a key ingredient for the manifestation of genuine quantum effects. A particularly attractive switching mechanism of dynamical systems are infinite-period bifurcations into limit cycles, as these set on with a finite amplitude. Here we describe how to realize this switching mechanism by combining attractive and repulsive particle interactions in a driven-dissipative Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, such as realized in excitonic lasers and condensates so that the system displays a nonhermitian combination of parity and charge-conjugation (PC) symmetry. We show that this symmetry survives in the nonlinear case and induces infinite-period and limit-cycle bifurcations (distinct from a Hopf bifurcation) where the system switches from a symmetry-breaking stationary state into a symmetry-protected power-oscillating state of finite amplitude. These protected dynamical solutions display a number of characteristic features, among which are their finite amplitude at onset, their arbitrary long oscillation period close to threshold, and the symmetry of their frequency spectrum which provides a tuneable frequency comb. Phases with different transition scenarios are separated by exceptional points in the stability spectrum, involving nonhermitian degeneracies of symmetry-protected excitations.

description: Porcine extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) causes great economic losses to the pig industry and poses a serious threat to public health worldwide. Some secreted virulence factors have been reported to be involved in the pathogenicity of the infection caused by ExPEC. Type-VI secretion system (T6SS) is discovered in many Gram-negative bacteria and contributes to the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. Valine-glycine repeat protein G (VgrG) has been reported as an important component of the functional T6SS. In our previous studies, a functional T6SS was identified in porcine ExPEC strain PCN033. Further analysis of the PCN033 genome identified two putative vgrGs genes (vgrG1 and 0248) located inside T6SS cluster and another two (vgrG2 and 1588) outside it. This study determined the function of the four putative VgrG proteins by constructing a series of mutants and complemented strains. In vitro, the VgrG1 protein was observed to be involved in the antibacterial ability and the interactions with cells. The animal model experiment showed that the deletion of vgrG1 significantly led to the decrease in the multiplication capacity of PCN033. However, the deletion of 0248 and/or the deletion of vgrG2 and 1588 had no effect on the pathogenicity of PCN033. The study of four putative VgrGs in PCN033 indicated that only VgrG1 plays an important role in the interaction between PCN033 and other bacteria or host cells. This study can provide a novel perspective to the pathogenesis of PCN033 and lay the foundation for discovering potential T6SS effectors.

description: Air pollution is a major concern in large urban areas. Various studies have been made to monitor and control the pollution level emitted by the vehicles but some main factors like ease of implementation or feasibility of the proposed approaches are not focused in the told studies. In this paper we propose a wireless sensor network solution to monitor vehicles exhaust systems pollution emission. Furthermore, we evaluate the feasibility of our proposed approach with respect to energy consumption and network lifetime by means of simulation. Our results indicate that our proposed scheme is practical for implementation using well known MAC layer protocols.

description: A theory for the ab initio calculation of all-electron NMR chemical shifts in insulators using pseudopotentials is presented. It is formulated for both finite and infinitely periodic systems and is based on an extension to the Projector Augmented Wave approach of Bloechl [P. E. Bloechl, Phys. Rev. B 50, 17953 (1994)] and the method of Mauri et al [F. Mauri, B.G. Pfrommer, and S.G. Louie, Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 5300 (1996)]. The theory is successfully validated for molecules by comparison with a selection of quantum chemical results, and in periodic systems by comparison with plane-wave all-electron results for diamond.

description: Introduction Brucellosis is a febrile zoonosis occurring among high-risk groups such as livestock keepers and abattoir workers and is a public health priority in Uganda. The technical complexities of bacteriological and molecular methods make serological approaches the cornerstone of diagnosis of human brucellosis in resource limited settings. Therefore, proper application and interpretation of serological tests is central to achieve a correct diagnosis. Materials and methods We conducted a cross-sectional study to estimate the seroprevalence and factors associated with anti-Brucella antibodies among slaughterhouse workers processing ruminants and pigs in three regions of the country with serial testing using a combination of the Rose Bengal Test (RBT) and the BrucellaCapt test. An authorized clinician collected 543 blood samples from consenting abattoir workers as well as attribute medical and social demographic data. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to determine factors associated with anti-Brucella sero-positivity. Results and discussion The sero-prevalence among ruminant slaughterhouse workers ranged from 7.3% (95% CI: 4.8–10.7) using BrucellaCapt to 9.0% (95% CI: 6.3–12.7) using RBT. Slaughterhouse workers from the Eastern regions (AOR = 9.84, 95%CI 2.27–69.2, p = 0.006) and those who graze animals for alternative income (AOR = 2.36, 95% CI: 1.91–6.63, p = 0.040) were at a higher risk of exposure to Brucella. Similarly, those who wore Personal Protective Equipment (AOR = 4.83, 95%CI:1.63–18.0, p = 0.009) and those who slaughter cattle (AOR = 2.12, 95%CI: 1.25–6.0, p = 0.006) were at a higher risk of exposure to Brucella. Those who slaughter small ruminants (AOR = 1.54, 95%CI: 1.32–4.01, p = 0.048) were also at a higher risk of exposure to Brucella. Conclusions and recommendations Our study demonstrates the combined practical application of the RBT and BrucellaCapt in the diagnosis of human brucellosis in endemic settings. Both pharmaceutical (e.g., routine testing and timely therapeutic intervention), and non-pharmaceutical (e.g., higher index of suspicion of brucellosis when investigating fevers of unknown origin and observation of strict abattoir hygiene) countermeasures should be considered for control of the disease in high-risk groups.

description: We find that the local character of field theory requires the parity degree of freedom of the fields to be considered as an additional dicrete fifth dimension which is an artifact emerging due to the local description of space-time. Higgs field arises as the gauge field corresponding to this discrete dimension. Hence the noncommutative geometric derivation of the standard model follows as a manifestation of the local description of the usual space-time.
