description: SIR-mediated telomere clustering drives chromosome conformation in the dense fraction of SP cells. a Mean contacts frequencies between 100-kb centromeres windows in G1 (blue) and G0 quiescent cells (red). Black and green curves: contacts between 100-kb segments randomly sampled in both conditions, to illustrate the absence of coverage biases after normalization. b Chromosome organization of WT and sir3∆ quiescent cells (the cryptic mating type locus HML was deleted to prevent pseudo-diploid effect). ii) Normalized contact matrix obtained for hml∆* (left) and hml∆ sir3∆ (right) cells. Color scale: contact frequencies from rare (white) to frequent (dark blue). Red arrowheads: centromeres contacts; green and yellow arrowheads: telomere–telomere contacts in hml∆ and hml∆ sir3∆ G0 cells, respectively. The 3D representations of the hml∆ and hml∆ sir3∆ matrices are represented next to the contact maps. Each chromosome is represented as a chain of beads (1 bead = 20 kb), with color code reflecting the chromosome arm lengths, from short (blue) to long (red) arms. Yellow beads: subtelomeric regions; black beads: centromeres; purple beads: boundaries of the rDNA cluster. c Contact maps of W303 strain during exponentially growth (EXPO, left) and quiescence (G0, right). Red arrowheads: centromere clustering; green and yellow arrowheads: telomere–telomere contacts of two chromosomes (XIII and XV) in expo and G0 cells, respectively. Because of the low sequencing coverage and quality, the signal is not as strong as for data in Fig. 3 and the bins are larger (1 vector: 80 DpnII RFs). d Quantification of colocalization of 30-kb telomeric regions (red dots) compared with the distribution of the colocalization scores (box plot, two standard deviations) computed for 1000 random sets of 32 windows of 30 kb in the genome (excluding centromeric regions). The colocalization score is normalized by the sequencing depth for each dataset.

description: The present study adapts and investigates the psychometric properties of the German version of the Prosocial Behavioral Intentions Scale (PBIS). The sample included 507 participants. Incongruent with the original study, the PBIS showed low internal consistency (α = .57; ω = .63). The CFA results indicated a good two-dimensional model fit. The PBIS scores showed convergent validity with related instruments. A positive correlation with materialism was observed, so no statements on discriminant validity were made. Additional measurement invariance testing with an existing US sample showed configural measurement invariance, indicating differences in the mode of action in both cultures. Based on these results, the PBIS-G should be used with caution, and further psychometric testing should be conducted to examine discriminant validity and the origin of missing measurement invariance.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία επικεντρώνεται στο σύνολο των αλλαγών που υπέστησαν οι αγοραστικές συνήθειες των καταναλωτών μετά την πανδημία Covid-19. Σκοπός της εργασίας είναι να αναδείξει τη στροφή των καταναλωτών στις ηλεκτρονικές αγορές κατά τη διάρκεια της πανδημικής κρίσης αλλά και έπειτα από αυτήν καθώς και να διερευνήσει τις αλλαγές που έχουν υποστεί οι συνήθειες των καταναλωτών, μετά την πανδημία. Μέσα από ένα δείγμα 120 ατόμων σχετικά με τις καταναλωτικές τους συνήθειες στις ηλεκτρονικές αγορές μετά τη πανδημία του Covid επισημαίνεται ο βαθμός κατά τον οποίο έχουν αλλάξει οι διαδικτυακές αγοραστικές συνήθειες τους μετά την πανδημία COVID-19, αλλά και η σημαντικότητα των παραγόντων που συμβάλλουν σημαντικά στις αλλαγές των διαδικτυακών συνηθειών τους.
Επιπλέον, η παρούσα έρευνα θα απαντήσει σε ερωτήματα όπως σε ποιο βαθμό έχουν αλλάξει οι διαδικτυακές αγοραστικές συνήθειες των καταναλωτών, καθώς και ποιοι είναι οι παράγοντες που τους έχουν επηρεάσει μετά την πανδημία Covid-19.
Τέλος, οι επιχειρήσεις κλήθηκαν να εφαρμόσουν μία στρατηγική επείγουσας δράσης στις πλατφόρμες ηλεκτρονικού τους εμπορίου προκειμένου να διατηρήσουν τον κύκλο εργασιών τους και να επιδιώξουν ένα σταθερό κέρδος. Ως εκ τούτου οι επιχειρήσεις εστίασαν στην αύξηση της ζήτησης των προϊόντων/δημιουργία κινήτρων, στη στοχευμένη περιγραφή των προϊόντων, στην αύξηση ανταγωνιστικού πλεονεκτήματος, στην αύξηση επικοινωνίας/γνωριμία με το πελατολόγιο και στην προώθηση προϊόντων με έξυπνες στρατηγικές.
description: This paper focuses on the set of changes that consumers' purchasing habits have undergone after the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of the work is to highlight the shift of consumers to online shopping during the pandemic crisis and after it as well as to investigate the changes that consumers' habits have undergone after the pandemic. Through a sample of 120 people about their online shopping habits after the Covid pandemic, the extent to which their online shopping habits have changed after the COVID-19 pandemic is highlighted, but also the importance of the factors that significantly contribute to the changes of their online habits.
In addition, this research will answer questions such as to what extent the online shopping habits of consumers have changed, as well as what are the factors influencing the Covid-19 pandemic.
Businesses were urged to implement a strategy of urgent action on their e-commerce platforms in order to maintain their turnover and pursue a stable profit. Therefore businesses focused on increasing product demand/creating incentives, targeted product description, increasing competitive advantage, increasing communication/familiarity with the clientele and promoting products with smart strategies.

description: The emergent dynamics in phase-separated mixtures of isometric active and passive Brownian particles is studied numerically in two dimensions. A novel steady-state of well-defined traveling fronts is observed, where the interface between the dense and the dilute phase propagates and the bulk of both phases is (nearly) at rest. Two kind of interfaces, advancing and receding, are formed by spontaneous symmetry breaking, induced by an instability of a planar interface due to the formation of localized vortices. The propagation arises due to flux imbalance at the interface, strongly resembling traveling fronts in reaction-diffusion systems. Above a threshold, the interface velocity decreases linearly with increasing fraction of active particles.

description: The pressure of suspensions of self-propelled objects is studied theoretically and by simulation of spherical active Brownian particles (ABP). We show that for certain geometries, the mechanical pressure as force/area of a confined systems can equally be expressed by bulk properties, which implies the existence of an nonequilibrium equation of state. Exploiting the virial theorem, we derive expressions for the pressure of ABPs confined by solid walls or exposed to periodic boundary conditions. In both cases, the pressure comprises three contributions: the ideal-gas pressure due to white-noise random forces, an activity-induce pressure (swim pressure), which can be expressed in terms of a product of the bare and a mean effective propulsion velocity, and the contribution by interparticle forces. We find that the pressure of spherical ABPs in confined systems explicitly depends on the presence of the confining walls and the particle-wall interactions, which has no correspondence in systems with periodic boundary conditions. Our simulations of three-dimensional APBs in systems with periodic boundary conditions reveal a pressure-concentration dependence that becomes increasingly nonmonotonic with increasing activity. Above a critical activity and ABP concentration, a phase transition occurs, which is reflected in a rapid and steep change of the pressure. We present and discuss the pressure for various activities and analyse the contributions of the individual pressure components.

description: Sorting cells based on their intrinsic properties is a highly desirable objective, since changes in cell deformability are often associated with various stress conditions and diseases. Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) devices offer high precision for rigid spherical particles, while their success in sorting deformable particles remains limited due to the complexity of cell traversal in DLDs. We employ mesoscopic hydrodynamics simulations and demonstrate prominent advantages of sharp-edged DLD obstacles for probing deformability properties of red blood cells (RBCs). By consecutive sharpening of the pillar shape from circular to diamond to triangular geometry, a pronounced cell bending around an edge is achieved, serving as a deformability sensor. Bending around the edge is the primary mechanism, which governs the traversal of RBCs through such DLD device. This strategy requires an appropriate degree of cell bending by fluid stresses, which can be controlled by the flow rate, and exhibits good sensitivity to moderate changes in cell deformability. We expect that similar mechanisms should be applicable for the development of novel DLD devices that target intrinsic properties of many other cells.

Tasmosalpingus Lea, 1919: 743. Type species: Tasmosalpingus quadrispilotus Lea, 1919, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Tasmosalpingidae can be easily recognized from the superficially similar Salpingidae in having two pairs of setose concavities placed on the posterior corners of the pronotum and on the humeral areas of elytra (Figs 2D, 2F, 4D, 4F), the tarsal formula 5-5- 4 in male and 5-5- 5 in female. Tasmosalpingus can also be distinguished from the other families within Cucujoidea by the combination of the following characters: antenna with 11 antennomeres, with a club of 3 antennomeres (Figs 2E, 4E); antennal insertions exposed from above (Figs 2A, 4A); procoxal cavities slightly transverse, internally closed and widely open externally (Figs 2C, 4C); protrochantins exposed; prosternal process broad, apically emarginate; notosternal suture complete; scutellar shield distinctly transverse; epipleuron of elytra incomplete, sutural flanges slightly widened apically; mesocoxal cavities widely separated, laterally open to mesepimeron, mesotrochantins exposed; metaventrite without discrimen (Figs 2G, 4G); abdomen with 5 freely articulated ventrites, ventrite 1 only slightly longer than the second ventrite; male genitalia with tegmen ring-shaped, narrowly rounded at base; parameres small and articulated to tegmen, partly fused to separated; penis parallel-sided anteriorly, with a pair of slender basal struts, flagellum present and long (Figs 2M, 4M); ovipositor moderately elongated and membranous; styli well-developed, anterolaterally attached to gonocoxites.

description: Biological cells are able to generate intricate structures and respond to external stimuli, sculpting their membrane from within. Simplified biomimetic systems can aid in understanding the principles which govern these shape changes and elucidate the response of the cell membrane under strong deformations. Here, a combined experimental and simulation approach is used to identify the conditions under which different non-equilibrium shapes and distinct active shape fluctuations can be obtained by enclosing self-propelled particles in giant vesicles. Interestingly, the most pronounced shape changes are observed at relatively low particle loadings, starting with the formation of tether-like protrusions to highly branched, dendritic structures. At high volume fractions, globally deformed vesicle shapes are observed. The obtained state diagram of vesicles sculpted by active particles predicts the conditions under which local internal forces can generate dramatic cell shape changes, such as branched structures in neurons.

Effect of cytosol viscosity on the flow behavior of red blood cell suspensions in microvessels

description: The flow behavior of blood in microvessels is directly associated with tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery. Current efforts on modeling blood flow have primarily focused on the flow properties of blood with red blood cells (RBCs) having a viscosity ratio $C$ of unity between the cytosol and suspending medium, while under physiological conditions the cytosol viscosity is about five times larger than the plasma viscosity (i.e., $C\approx 5$). The importance of $C$ for the behavior of single RBCs in fluid flow has already been demonstrated, while the effect of $C$ on blood flow has only been sparsely studied. We employ mesoscopic hydrodynamic simulations to perform a systematic investigation of flow properties of RBC suspensions with different cytosol viscosities for various flow conditions in cylindrical microchannels. Our main aim is to link macroscopic flow properties such as flow resistance to single cell deformation and dynamics as a function of $C$. Starting from a dispersed cell configuration, we find that the flow convergence and the development of a RBC-free layer (RBC-FL) depend only weakly on $C$, and require a convergence length in the range of $25D-50D$, where $D$ is the channel diameter. The flow resistance for $C=5$ is nearly the same as that for $C=1$, which is facilitated by a slightly larger RBC-FL thickness for $C=5$. This effect is due to the suppression of membrane motion and dynamic shape deformations by a more viscous cytosol for $C=5$, resulting in a more compact cellular core of the flow in comparison to $C=1$. The weak effect of cytosol viscosity on the flow resistance and RBC-FL explains why cells can have a high concentration of hemoglobin for efficient oxygen delivery, without a pronounced increase in the flow resistance.

description: Many new physics models beyond the Standard Model, motivated by the recent astrophysical anomalies, include the possibility of several new types of light weak-interacting particles. Typical models, such as Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and Hidden Dark-sector Model, predict the light Higgs and dark bosons, respectively. The masses of these particles are expected to be a few GeV and thus making them accessible at BESIII. BESIII has recently explored the possibility of light Higgs and dark bosons in several decay modes using the data-sets collected at $J/ψ$, $ψ(3686)$ and $ψ(3770)$ resonances. The $J/ψ$ data have further utilized to search for invisible decays of light vector ($V=ω, ϕ$) and pseudo-scalar ($P=η, η'$) mesons via $J/ψ\to VP$ decays. This report summarizes the recent results of the BESIII experiment on these new physics topics.

description: Worldwide, we witness increased societal, hostile divides between (sub-)groups. The Intergroup Sensitivity Effect (ISE) is a process underlying group member’s defensive, even hostile, rejection of outgroup criticism. It is linked to violation of conversational norms and defending one’s social identity. Cultural dimensions (collectivism, individualism, and honor) moderate responses to reputational threats and maintaining one’s social identity, factors influencing ISE processes. Unfortunately, a systematic cultural comparison of the ISE is currently missing.

description: This paper studies static output feedback stabilization of continuous-time (incrementally) passive nonlinear systems where the control actions can only be chosen from a discrete (and possibly finite) set of points. For this purpose, we are working under the assumption that the system under consideration is large-time norm observable and the convex hull of the realizable control actions contains the target constant input (which corresponds to the equilibrium point) in its interior. We propose a nearest-neighbor based static feedback mapping from the output space to the finite set of control actions, that is able to practically stabilize the closed-loop systems. Consequently, we show that for such systems with $m$-dimensional input space, it is sufficient to have $m+1$ discrete input points (other than zero for general passive systems or the target constant input for incrementally passive systems). Furthermore, we present a constructive algorithm to design such $m+1$ nonzero input points that satisfy the conditions for practical stability using our proposed nearest-neighbor control.
