description: Electronic band structures in hydrogenated graphene are theoretically investigated by means of first-principle calculations and an effective tight-binding model. It is shown that regularly designed hydrogenation to graphene gives rise to a large band gap about 1 eV. Remarkably, by changing the spatial pattern of the hydrogenation, topologically distinct states can be realized, where the topological nontriviality is detected by $C_2$ parity indices in bulk and confirmed by the existence of gapless edge/interface states as protected by the mirror and sublattice symmetries. The analysis of the wave functions reveals that the helical edge states in hydrogenated graphene with the appropriate design carry pseudospin currents that are reminiscent of the quantum spin Hall effect. Our work shows the potential of hydrogenated graphene in pseudospin-based device applications.

description: Durch Befall mit Botrytis cinerea wird die Konzentration der freien Aminosäuren in Traubenbeeren verringert. In Traubenmasten aus edelfaulem Lesegut ist der Gehalt an freien Aminosäuren gegenüber gesi,indem Lesegut um 33-86% reduziert. Die einzelnen Aminosäuren zeigen hierbei ein unterschiedliches Verhalten: Während z. B. der Anteil des Lysins an der Gesamtaminosäuren-Konzentration bei edelfaulem Material stets höher ist als bei gesundem, verhält sich Isoleucin entgegengesetzt. Isoleucin und Leucin werden vom Pilz ähnlich gut verwertet. Dagegen ist in edelfaulen Beeren im Verhältnis zum Prolin mehr Glutaminsäure und im Bezug auf Leucin mehr Lysin enthalten als in gesunden.

description: We introduce a family of local models of dynamics based on ``word problems'' from computer science and group theory, for which we can place rigorous lower bounds on relaxation timescales. These models can be regarded either as random circuit or local Hamiltonian dynamics, and include many familiar examples of constrained dynamics as special cases. The configuration space of these models splits into dynamically disconnected sectors, and for initial states to relax, they must ``work out'' the other states in the sector to which they belong. When this problem has a high time complexity, relaxation is slow. In some of the cases we study, this problem also has high space complexity. When the space complexity is larger than the system size, an unconventional type of jamming transition can occur, whereby a system of a fixed size is not ergodic, but can be made ergodic by appending a large reservoir of sites in a trivial product state. This manifests itself in a new type of Hilbert space fragmentation that we call fragile fragmentation. We present explicit examples where slow relaxation and jamming strongly modify the hydrodynamics of conserved densities. In one example, density modulations of wavevector $q$ exhibit almost no relaxation until times $O(\exp(1/q))$, at which point they abruptly collapse. We also comment on extensions of our results to higher dimensions.

description: Healthcare applications with the Internet of Things (IoT) are often safety-critical, thus, require extensive testing. Such applications are often connected to smart medical devices from various vendors. System-level testing of such applications requires test infrastructures physically integrating medical devices, which is time and monetary-wise expensive. Moreover, applications continuously evolve, e.g., introducing new devices and users and updating software. Nevertheless, a test infrastructure enabling testing with a few devices is insufficient for testing healthcare IoT systems, hence compromising their dependability. In this paper, we propose a model-based approach for the creation and operation of digital twins (DTs) of medicine dispensers as a replacement for physical devices to support the automated testing of IoT applications at scale. We evaluate our approach with an industrial IoT system with medicine dispensers in the context of Oslo City and its industrial partners, providing healthcare services to its residents. We study the fidelity of DTs in terms of their functional similarities with their physical counterparts: medicine dispensers. Results show that the DTs behave more than 92% similar to the physical medicine dispensers, providing a faithful replacement for the dispenser.

description: Previous work has established the enhanced occurrence of compact systems of multiple small exoplanets around metal-poor stars. Understanding the origin of this effect in the planet formation process is a topic of ongoing research. Here we consider the radii of planets residing in systems of multiple transiting planets, compared to those residing in single-transiting systems, with a particular focus on late-type host stars. We investigate whether the two radius distributions are consistent with being drawn from the same underlying planetary population. We construct a planetary sample of 290 planets around late K and M dwarfs containing 149 planets from single-transiting planetary systems and 141 planets from multi-transiting compact multiple planetary systems (54 compact multiples). We performed a two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Anderson-Darling k-sampling test on the radius distributions of our two samples. We find statistical evidence (p < 0.0026) that planets in compact multiple systems are larger, on average, than their single-transiting counterparts for planets with $R_p <$ 6 R$_\oplus$. We determine that the offset cannot be explained by detection bias. We investigate whether this effect could be explained via more efficient outgassing of a secondary atmosphere in compact multiple systems due to the stress and strain forces of interplanetary tides on planetary interiors. We find that this effect is insufficient to explain our observations without significant enrichment in H$_2$O compared to Earth-like bulk composition.

description: Thiolate containing mercury(II) complexes of the general formula [Hg(SR)$_n$]$^{2-n}$ have been of great interest since the toxicity of mercury was recognized. $^{199}$Hg nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is a powerful tool for characterization of mercury complexes. In this work, the Hg shielding constants in a series of [Hg(SR)$_n$]$^{2-n}$ complexes are therefore investigated computationally with particular emphasis on their geometry dependence. Geometry optimizations and NMR chemical shift calculations are performed at the density functional theory (DFT) level with both the zeroth-order regular approximation (ZORA) and four-component relativistic methods. The four exchange-correlation (XC) functionals PBE0, PBE, B3LYP and BLYP are used in combination with either Dyall's Gaussian-type (GTO) or Slater-type orbitals (STOs) basis sets. Comparing ZORA and four-component calculations, one observes that the calculated shielding constants for a given molecular geometry have a constant difference of $\sim$1070 ppm. This confirms that ZORA is an acceptable relativistic method to compute NMR chemical shifts. The combinations of 4-component/PBE0/v3z and ZORA/PBE0/QZ4P are applied to explore the geometry dependence of the isotropic shielding. For a given coordination number the distance between mercury and sulfur is the key factor affecting the shielding constant, while changes in bond and dihedral angles and even different side groups have relatively little impact.

description: Substantial evidence supports the effect of the Mediterranean Diet (MD) for managing chronic diseases, although trials have been primarily conducted in Mediterranean populations. The efficacy and feasibility of the Mediterranean dietary pattern for the management of chronic diseases has not been extensively evaluated in non-Mediterranean settings. This paper aims to describe the development of a MD model that complies with principles of the traditional MD applied in a multiethnic context. Optimal macronutrient and food-based composition was defined, and a two-week menu was devised incorporating traditional ingredients with evidence based on improvements in chronic disease management. Strategies were developed for the implementation of the diet model in a multiethnic population. Consistent with the principles of a traditional MD, the MD model was plant-based and high in dietary fat, predominantly monounsaturated fatty acids from extra virgin olive oil. Fruits, vegetables and wholegrains were a mainstay, and moderate amounts of nuts and seeds, fish, dairy and red wine were recommended. The diet encompassed key features of the MD including cuisine, biodiversity and sustainability. The MD model preserved traditional dietary components likely to elicit health benefits for individuals with chronic diseases, even with the adaptation to an Australian multiethnic population.

description: Addressing high-dimensional partial differential equations to derive effective actions within the functional renormalization group is formidable, especially when considering various field configurations, including inhomogeneous states, even on lattices. We leverage physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) as a state-of-the-art machine learning method for solving high-dimensional partial differential equations to overcome this challenge. In a zero-dimensional O($N$) model, we numerically demonstrate the construction of an effective action on an $N$-dimensional configuration space, extending up to $N=100$. Our results underscore the effectiveness of PINN approximation, even in scenarios lacking small parameters such as a small coupling.

Soil microbiology of bushland subject to pond water irrigation at Ranger Uranium Mine
Creators: name: Mumtaz, Saqib
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2013

description: Soil microorganisms may respond to metal stress by a shift in microbial community from metal sensitive to metal resistant microorganisms. In this study microbes isolated from soils irrigated with wastewater from Ranger Uranium Mine in northern Australia were tested both for their resistance to uranium (U), and their community level responses to variations in soil U and physicochemical parameters. Microbes isolated from soil by culturing grew under different (field) concentrations of U added to culture media in the form of uranyl nitrate and fungi out-competed the bacteria in media with very high U concentrations. However, this shift from bacteria to fungi that occurred in culture was not observed in soils with very high U concentrations under field conditions. This suggests that the U present in the field may be less bioavailable than U added to the culture media. Moreover, there was no difference in the cultured microbial community isolated from soils with different U concentrations which may be due to the fact that culturing technique captures only less than 1% of the soil microbial community. To explore this further, the soil microbial community was measured by culture-independent next generation sequencing using the 454 platform or pyrosequencing. One hundred and forty four soil samples were pyrosequenced and 183,317 bacterial V6 sequences were obtained. Using pyrosequencing, the bacterial community in soil with background levels of U was different from those in soil with elevated U. Indicator species analysis showed that bacterial OTUs closely related to members of Kitasatospora, Sphingobacteria, Candidate_division_WS3 and Rhodobium were only present at medium, high and very high U sites during all the sampling times. A significant seasonal and temporal change in bacterial community was also measured as a result of seasonal and temporal change in soil U and other physicochemical variables. Uranium resistant microbes isolated in this study could be used to study resistance mechanisms and bioremediation potential. Furthermore, bacterial species associated with higher U concentrations may serve as useful indicators of U contamination in the wet-dry tropics.

description: Understanding molecular state evolution is central to many disciplines, including molecular dynamics, precision measurement, and molecule-based quantum technology. Details of the evolution are obscured when observing a statistical ensemble of molecules. Here, we reported real-time observations of thermal radiation-driven transitions between individual states ("jumps") of a single molecule. We reversed these "jumps" through microwave-driven transitions, resulting in a twentyfold improvement in the time the molecule dwells in a chosen state. The measured transition rates showed anisotropy in the thermal environment, pointing to the possibility of using single molecules as in-situ probes for the strengths of ambient fields. Our approaches for state detection and manipulation could apply to a wide range of species, facilitating their uses in fields including quantum science, molecular physics, and ion-neutral chemistry.

description: First-order phase transitions produce abrupt changes to the character of both ground and excited electronic states. Here we conduct electronic compressibility measurements to map the spin phase diagram and Landau level (LL) energies of monolayer WSe$_2$ in a magnetic field. We resolve a sequence of first-order phase transitions between completely spin-polarized LLs and states with LLs of both spins. Unexpectedly, the LL gaps are roughly constant over a wide range of magnetic fields below the transitions, which we show reflects a preference for opposite spin excitations of the spin-polarized ground state. These transitions also extend into compressible regimes, with a sawtooth boundary between full and partial spin polarization. We link these observations to the important influence of LL filling on the exchange energy beyond a smooth density-dependent contribution. Our results show that WSe$_2$ realizes a unique hierarchy of energy scales where such effects induce re-entrant magnetic phase transitions tuned by density and magnetic field.

description: Shoot girdling, widely different levels of nitrogen and photoperiod and a number of chemical agents were ineffective in promoting sex conversion in a male V. vinifera (sylvestris) clone 030-44. The cytokinins SD 8339, zeatin, benzyladenine and kinetin converted sex from male to hermaphrodite in the clone 030-44. The first two cytokinins were more effective than the others. A concentration of 1000 ppm of SD 8339 was the most effective, followed in decreasing order by 500 and 100 ppm. Treatment was most effective at the time of megaspore mother cell formation. SD 8339 also induced sex conversion in other male clones and seedling vines of V. vinifera L. (sylvestris) and in male clones of other Vitis species, and a species hybrid 'Ganzin 1'. In male clones and seedling vines of V. vinifera L. (sylvestris), there was no correlation in frequency of natural sex conversion and that induced by SD 8339, but such a correlation was found in male clones. of other Vitis species and a species hybrid. The cytokinins did not affect pollen viability and the seeds obtained germinated normally. Association of natural sex conversion with endogenous cytokinins in male vines of Vitis is discussed. Two possible practical applications of this method of sex conversion by cytokinins are also mentioned.

description: The present epoch of the Gaia success gives us a possibility to predict the dynamical evolution of our Solar System in the global Galactic framework with high precision. We statistically investigated the total interaction of globular clusters with the Solar System during six billion years of look-back time. We estimated the gravitational influence of globular clusters' flyby onto the Oort cloud system. To perform the realistic orbital dynamical evolution for each individual cluster, we used our own high-order parallel dynamical $N$ body $φ$-GPU code that we developed. To reconstruct the orbital trajectories of clusters, we used five external dynamical time variable galactic potentials selected from the IllustrisTNG-100 cosmological database and one static potential. To detect a cluster's close passages near the Solar System, we adopted a simple distance criterion of below 200 pc. To take into account a cluster's measurement errors (based on Gaia DR3), we generated 1000 initial positions and velocity randomizations for each cluster in each potential. We found 35 globular clusters that have had close passages near the Sun in all the six potentials during the whole lifetime of the Solar System. We can conclude that at a relative distance of 50 pc between a GC and the SolS, we obtain on average $\sim 15$\% of the close passage probability over all six billion years, and at $dR=100$ pc, we get on average $\sim 35$\% of the close passage probability over all six billion years. The globular clusters BH_140, UKS_1, and Djorg_1 have a mean minimum relative distance to the Sun of 9, 19, and 17 pc, respectively. We can assume that a globular cluster with close passages near the Sun is not a frequent occurrence but also not an exceptional event in the Solar System's lifetime.

description: Genomic prediction is becoming a popular plant breeding method to predict the genetic merit of lines. While some genomic prediction results have been reported in canola, none have been evaluated for blackleg disease. Here, we report genomic prediction for seedling emergence, survival rate, and internal infection), using 532 Spring and Winter canola lines. These lines were phenotyped in two replicated blackleg disease nurseries grown at Wickliffe and Green Lake, Victoria, Australia. A transcriptome genotyping-by-sequencing approach revealed 98,054 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) after quality control. We assessed various genomic prediction scenarios based on Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (GBLUP), BayesR and BayesRC, which can make use of prior quantitative trait loci information, via cross-validation. Clustering based on genomic relationships showed that Winter and Spring lines were genetically distinct, indicating limited gene flow between sets. Genetic correlations within traits between Spring and Winter lines ranged from 0.68 and 0.90 (mean = 0.76). Based on GBLUP in the whole population, moderate to high genomic prediction accuracies were achieved within environments (0.35–0.74) and were reduced across environments (0.28–0.58). Prediction accuracy within the Spring set ranged from 0.30–0.69, and from 0.19–0.71 within the Winter set. The BayesR model resulted in slightly lower accuracy to GBLUP. The proportion of genetic variance explained by known blackleg quantitative trait loci (QTL) was < 30%, indicating that there is a large reservoir of genetic variation in blackleg traits that remains to be discovered, but can be captured with genomic prediction. However, providing prior information of known QTL in the BayesRC method resulted in an increased prediction accuracy for survival and internal infection, particularly with Spring lines. Overall, these promising results indicate that genomic prediction will be a valuable tool to make use of all genetic variation to improve blackleg resistance in canola.

description: Mobile app reviews are a large-scale data source for software-related knowledge generation activities, including software maintenance, evolution and feedback analysis. Effective extraction of features (i.e., functionalities or characteristics) from these reviews is key to support analysis on the acceptance of these features, identification of relevant new feature requests and prioritization of feature development, among others. Traditional methods focus on syntactic pattern-based approaches, typically context-agnostic, evaluated on a closed set of apps, difficult to replicate and limited to a reduced set and domain of apps. Meanwhile, the pervasiveness of Large Language Models (LLMs) based on the Transformer architecture in software engineering tasks lays the groundwork for empirical evaluation of the performance of these models to support feature extraction. In this study, we present T-FREX, a Transformer-based, fully automatic approach for mobile app review feature extraction. First, we collect a set of ground truth features from users in a real crowdsourced software recommendation platform and transfer them automatically into a dataset of app reviews. Then, we use this newly created dataset to fine-tune multiple LLMs on a named entity recognition task under different data configurations. We assess the performance of T-FREX with respect to this ground truth, and we complement our analysis by comparing T-FREX with a baseline method from the field. Finally, we assess the quality of new features predicted by T-FREX through an external human evaluation. Results show that T-FREX outperforms on average the traditional syntactic-based method, especially when discovering new features from a domain for which the model has been fine-tuned.

A study on the differentiation and the development of floral parts in grapes (Vitis vinifera L. var.)
Creators: name: Agaoglu, Y. S.
Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2017

description: Investigations on differentiation and development of floral parts in Vitis vinifera were conducted in 1967 and 1968 under Ankara conditions. Materials were Hasandede, Kalecik karasi and Papaz karasi varieties, which were grafted on Chasselas X V. berlandieri 41 B M.G. rootstocks. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: • The differentiation time of floral parts is different in the three varieties. • Not all flowers of one inflorescence have the same stages of development. • The differentiation of floral parts initiated with the calyx in cluster primordia. The calyx can be noticed at the beginning of August in Hasandede and Kalecik karasi, at the end of August or the beginning of September in Papaz karasi. • The differentiation and development of the sepals (calyx), petals (corolla), stamens and pistil is in the order named. All the essential flower parts were formed within 10-15 days of the appearance of the inflorescence after budburst.

description: Smart devices are considered as an integral part of Internet of Things (IoT), have an aim to make a dynamic network to exchange information, collect data, analysis, and make optimal decisions in an autonomous way to achieve more efficient, automatic, and economical services. Message dissemination among these smart devices allows adding new features, sending updated instructions, alerts or safety messages, informing the pricing information or billing amount, incentives, and installing security patches. On one hand, such message disseminations are directly beneficial to the all parties involved in the IoT system. On the other hand, due to remote procedure, smart devices, vendors, and other involved authorities might have to meet a number of security, privacy, and performance related concerns while disseminating messages among targeted devices. To this end, in this paper, we design STarEdgeChain, a security and privacy aware targeted message dissemination in IoT to show how blockchain along with advanced cryptographic techniques are devoted to address such concerns. In fact, the STarEdgeChain employs a permissioned blockchain assisted edge computing in order to expedite a single signcrypted message dissemination among targeted groups of devices, at the same time avoiding the dependency of utilizing multiple unicasting approaches. Finally, we develop a software prototype of STarEdgeChain and show it's practicability for smart devices. The codes are publicly available at https://github.com/mbaqer/Blockchain-IoT

Effects of GA and CCC on setting, splitting, yield and quality of Zante currant (Vitis vinifera var.)
Creators: name: El-Zeftawi, B. M.

Year: 2017

description: Ten-year-old Zante currant vines (Vitis vinifera var.) were sprayed in two seasons with GA at 1 ppm+ CCC at 100 ppm or GA at 1 ppm+ PCPA at 20 ppm as soon as capfall was complete. The average number of flowers per bunch for a random selection of primary bunches was 568 in 1967 and 574 in 1968. Natural setting without treatment on these bunches was 66 per cent in 1967 and 44 per cent in 1968. Berry deve1opment is the main problem in the production of Zante currant. Susceptibility to splitting was associated in this trial with amount of rain that fell during the 3 weeks prior to harvest and with berry size. Ten mm of rain caused 52 per cent splitting on untreated vines in one season while 2 mm of rain caused 9 per cent splitting in the other. Treatments with GA+ CCC or GA+ PCPA, although both improving berry setting, differ in their effects on the final quality and dried yield of these berries. GA+ CCC produced acceptably sized berries with high sugar content, and of advanced maturity and colour, with less tendency to split, and high dried yield, while GA+ PCPA produced excessively large sized berries with low sugar content and retarded maturity and colour, which split more readily, resulting in 22 per cent dried yield reduction over two years.

description: Easy and effective usage of computational resources is crucial for scientific calculations. Following our recent work of machine-learning (ML) assisted scheduling optimization [Ref: J. Comput. Chem. 2023, 44, 1174], we further propose 1) the improve ML models for the better predictions of computational loads, and as such, more elaborate load-balancing calculations can be expected; 2) the idea of coded computation, i.e. the integration of gradient coding, in order to introduce fault tolerance during the distributed calculations; and 3) their applications together with re-normalized exciton model with time-dependent density functional theory (REM-TDDFT) for calculating the excited states. Illustrated benchmark calculations include P38 protein, and solvent model with one or several excitable centers. The results show that the improved ML-assisted coded calculations can further improve the load-balancing and cluster utilization, and owing primarily profit in fault tolerance that aiming at the automated quantum chemical calculations for both ground and excited states.

description: This paper aims first to perform robust continuous analysis of a mixed nonlinear formulation for stress-assisted diffusion of a solute that interacts with an elastic material, and second to propose and analyse a virtual element formulation of the model problem. The two-way coupling mechanisms between the Herrmann formulation for linear elasticity and the reaction-diffusion equation (written in mixed form) consist of diffusion-induced active stress and stress-dependent diffusion. The two sub-problems are analysed using the extended Babuška--Brezzi--Braess theory for perturbed saddle-point problems. The well-posedness of the nonlinearly coupled system is established using a Banach fixed-point strategy under the smallness assumption on data. The virtual element formulations for the uncoupled sub-problems are proven uniquely solvable by a fixed-point argument in conjunction with appropriate projection operators. We derive the a priori error estimates, and test the accuracy and performance of the proposed method through computational simulations.

description: In this work, we explore the potential of spin-based integrated devices using polariton waveguides that form codirectional couplers. For suitable coupler parameters, a transfer of condensates between the arms of the coupler, occurs leading to the observation of Josephson-like oscillations. The ability to tune the periodicity of these oscillations opens the way to the design of polaritonic circuits in which the directionality of the signal towards the output terminals can be controlled. We also investigate the response of the devices to linearly polarized excitation, delving into the dynamics of linear polarization at the output terminals of long couplers, providing valuable insights into the potential applications of spin-based polariton devices, including polariton switches and logic gates with efficient operation. Our results are supported by numerical simulations based on generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing the dynamics of coherent polaritons in spatially non-uniform system. We show, how the coupling and the controllable spin degree of freedom in polariton couplers opens avenues for innovative optical architectures and functionalities.

description: 6-8-week-old ID8-bearing mice were divided into three groups: the OC group, the cisplatin group, and the cisplatin+ABX group. The cisplatin group was administered cisplatin (5mg/kg) intraperitoneally every 5 days for 3 times after tumor confirmation. The cisplatin+ABX group received an antibiotic cocktail for 5 consecutive days before tumor cell implantation, and antibiotic treatment was continued every 3 days until the completion of the experiment. Cisplatin treatment was administered in the cisplatin+ABX group as in the cisplatin group. The OC group served as the control. Two weeks after cisplatin treatment initiation, all mice were sacrificed, and cecum contents were collected. The cecum content of the cisplatin group and cisplatin+ABX group were for LC-MS analysis.

description: We present GammaBayes, a Bayesian Python package for dark matter detection with the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). GammaBayes takes as input the CTA measurements of gamma rays and a user-specified dark-matter particle model. It outputs the posterior distribution for parameters of the dark-matter model including the velocity-averaged cross section for dark-matter self interactions $\langleσv\rangle$ and the dark-matter mass $m_χ$. It also outputs the Bayesian evidence, which can be used for model selection. We demonstrate GammaBayes using 525 hours of simulated data, corresponding to $10^8$ observed gamma-ray events. The vast majority of this simulated data consists of noise, but $100000$ events arise from the annihilation of scalar singlet dark matter with $m_χ= 1$ TeV. We recover the dark matter mass within a 95% credible interval of $m_χ\sim 0.96-1.07$ TeV. Meanwhile, the velocity averaged cross section is constrained to $\langleσv\rangle \sim 1.4-2.1\times10^{-25}$ cm$^3$ s$^{-1}$ (95% credibility). This is equivalent to measuring the number of dark-matter annihilation events to be $N_S \sim 1.1_{-0.2}^{+0.2} \times 10^5$. The no-signal hypothesis $\langle σv \rangle=0$ is ruled out with about $5σ$ credibility. We discuss how GammaBayes can be extended to include more sophisticated signal and background models and the computational challenges that must be addressed to facilitate these upgrades. The source code is publicly available at https://github.com/lpin0002/GammaBayes.
