description: We consider a cellular monolayer, described using a vertex-based model, for which cells form a spatially disordered array of convex polygons that tile the plane. Equilibrium cell configurations are assumed to minimize a global energy defined in terms of cell areas and perimeters; energy is dissipated via dynamic area and length changes, as well as cell neighbour exchanges. The model captures our observations of an epithelium from a Xenopus embryo showing that uniaxial stretching induces spatial ordering, with cells under net tension (compression) tending to align with (against) the direction of stretch, but with the stress remaining heterogeneous at the single-cell level. We use the vertex model to derive the linearized relation between tissue-level stress, strain and strain-rate about a deformed base state, which can be used to characterize the tissue's anisotropic mechanical properties; expressions for viscoelastic tissue moduli are given as direct sums over cells. When the base state is isotropic, the model predicts that tissue properties can be tuned to a regime with high elastic shear resistance but low resistance to area changes, or vice versa.

PLOT OF FICTION: PLOT STRUCTURE IN WORKS CHARACTERIZING THE IMAGE OF TEMURIAN PRINCESSES IN UZBEK DRAMA
Creators: name: Jumanova Orzigul Sa'dulla qizi Researcher, Department of Foreign Languages,  Karshi State Technical University
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This article analyzes the plot construction and its specific features in works of art, especially in dramaturgy, based on the definitions of literary scholars. In particular, the image of the Timurid princesses in Uzbek dramaturgy and their role in the plot are analyzed. The article uses a scientific-analytical approach and summarizes the theoretical views of scholars such as Abdulla Qahhor, V. Tomashevsky, M. Quranov and B. Karim on the plot. Also, specific analytical examples are given based on one of the historical dramas - the drama "Ulug'bek". According to the results of the analysis, the development of the plot through internal and external conflicts in the images of the Timurid princesses, in particular Firyuza, Gavharshod and Nigorkhanim, was shown. The image of Firyuza was highly appreciated as a symbol of loyalty, conscience and moral purity. The conflict of social stratification and moral values in palace life was highlighted as the main dramatic force. The article emphasizes that the plot of the historical drama is based on the harmony of reality and artistic texture. The image of Firyuza is interpreted as an exemplary image for modern man. The main idea of the work is the call for human values, inner purity, and social justice.

Keywords: plot, Mirzo Ulugbek’s drama, Timurid princesses, Gavharshodbeg, drama, plot construction, historical and artistic image

description: [fol. 125] Mon cher ami, M. Lascell vient de m’écrire et me demande quels sont les libres de botanique et de chimie dont je puis avoir besoin et il m’est impossible de lui répondre si je n’ai un catalogue de ceux qu’il a en son pouvoir, ou chez l’ami qui veut s’en défaire. En outre, il me parle d’un Albin (Ornithologia) bien relié et complet. Voyez-vous-même combien vous l’évaluez. Il me propose aussi d’acheter un livre de botanique, intitulé Herbarum, tomi 6 in folio latin et allemand, avec des estampes enluminées : les 5 premiers volumes sont reliés (dit-il) et non pas le sixième qui est encore en brochure. Il peut bien se faire que vous avez déjà vu ces livres là et que vous les avez dans votre bibliothèque. Je vous prie donc ou de vouloir bien me marquer quel est prix que je puis offrir de ce livre de botanique et quel est le titre, savoir si c’est Herbarium ou Herbarum, car Lascelle ne m’a pas donné le titre ni l’édition. Je pense encore que peut être vous avez été consulté pour ces livres et que comme vous avez évolué un prix moindre de celui qu’exige le propriétaire, on a voulu s’adresser à un autre pour en tirer meilleur parti. Supposez-donc que vous les ayez déjà vis, dites-moi par le courrier prochain en 2 mots ce que je puis en offrir : et supposez que vous n’ayez pas été consulté, ayez la bonté de voir Lascelle qui vous fera exhiber ces livres. Vous prendrez pour prétexte que comme il ne m’a pas marqué l’édition, le nombre d’estampes et le nom du livre. Je vous ai prié de me donner tous ces renseignements et dans ce cas vous [fol. 125v] lui direz aussi qu’il m’apporte ou qu’il m’envoie sous le couvert de M. de Saint-Priest, le catalogue des livres de chimie et le prix de chacun. Huart vous verra sans doute jeudi et Roussel a disposé ses affaires pour vous voir dimanche, au moins tout l’après dîner, car il partira d’ici de façon à passer une bonne partie de la journée avec vous. Il vous remettra une copie de mes manuscrits et si pendant mon absence vous avez quelque réflexion à me communiquer, il faut lui écrire à ce sujet à Arles ou à Beaucaire afin qu’il réponde à M. Spielmann. Vous verrez que nous avons 1° commenté, expliqué les termes dont les anciens se sont servis et introduit des épitaphes nécessaires.

description: Serious games are beneficial for education in various computer science areas. Numerous works have reported the experiences of using games (not only playing but also development) in teaching and learning. Considering it could be difficult for teachers/students to prepare/develop a game from scratch during one semester, assistant educational materials would be crucial in the corresponding courses. Unfortunately, the literature shows that not many materials from educational game projects are shared. To help different educators identify suitable courseware and help students implement game development, it is worth further investigating and accumulating the educational resources from individual game projects. Following such an idea, this paper proposes a game development project of an object-oriented Sokoban solver, and exposes relevant educational materials. The documented system design can be viewed as a ready-to-use resource for education in object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD), while the Sokoban solver itself may be used as an assignment platform for teaching artificial intelligence (AI). Further documentation, platform, and APIs will be realized and shared in the future to facilitate others' educational activities. Overall, this work is supposed to inspire and encourage other researchers and educators to post available materials of more game projects for the purpose of sharing and reuse.

description: The quantum process framework is devised as a generalization of quantum theory to incorporate indefinite causal structure. In this short paper we point out a restriction in forming products of processes: there exist both classical and quantum processes whose tensor products are not processes. Our main result is a necessary and sufficient condition for when tensor products of multipartite processes are (in)valid. We briefly discuss the implications of this restriction on process communication theory.

description: The fully halogenated or hydrogenated B12X12 (X = H, F, Cl, Br and I) clusters are confirmed to be icosahedral. On the other hand, the bare B12 cluster is shown to have a planar structure. A previous study showed that a transformation from an icosahedron to a plane happens when 5 to 7 iodine atoms are substituted. Later, the transition was confirmed to be seven iodine substitutions based on an infrared spectroscopy study. In this study, we investigated the effects of different halogen atoms on the opening of the B12 icosahedral cage by means of density functional theory calculations. We found that the halogen elements do not have significant effects on the geometries of the clusters. The computed IR spectra show similar representative peaks for all halogen substituted clusters. Interestingly, we found a blue-shift in the IR spectra with the increase in the mass of the halogen atoms. Further, we compared the Gibbs free energies at different temperatures for different halogen atoms. The results show that the Gibbs free energy differences between open and close structures of B12X7 become larger when heavier halogen atoms are present. This interesting finding was subsequently investigated by energy decomposition analysis.

description: We consider explicitly two examples of d-dimensional quantum channels with correlated noise and show that, in agreement with previous results on Pauli qubit channels, there are situations where maximally entangled input states achieve higher values of the output mutual information than product states. We obtain a strong dependence of this effect on the nature of the noise correlations as well as on the parity of the space dimension, and conjecture that when entanglement gives an advantage in terms of mutual information, maximally entangled states achieve the channel capacity.

description: Investigations of the origin and evolution of the Milky Way disk have long relied on chemical and kinematic identification of its components to reconstruct our Galactic past. Difficulties in determining precise stellar ages have restricted most studies to small samples, normally confined to the solar neighbourhood. Here we break this impasse with the help of asteroseismic inference and perform a chronology of the evolution of the disk throughout the age of the Galaxy. We chemically dissect the Milky Way disk population using a sample of red giant stars spanning out to 2~kpc in the solar annulus observed by the {\it Kepler} satellite, with the added dimension of asteroseismic ages. Our results reveal a clear difference in age between the low- and high-$α$ populations, which also show distinct velocity dispersions in the $V$ and $W$ components. We find no tight correlation between age and metallicity nor [$α$/Fe] for the high-$α$ disk stars. Our results indicate that this component formed over a period of more than 2~Gyr with a wide range of [M/H] and [$α$/Fe] independent of time. Our findings show that the kinematic properties of young $α$-rich stars are consistent with the rest of the high-$α$ population and different from the low-$α$ stars of similar age, rendering support to their origin being old stars that went through a mass transfer or stellar merger event, making them appear younger, instead of migration of truly young stars formed close to the Galactic bar.

description: Εισαγωγή: Οι τραυματισμοί των οπίσθιων μηριαίων και των προσαγωγών μυών του ισχίου είναι δύο από τους πιο συχνούς τραυματισμούς στο ποδόσφαιρο. Έχει φανεί πως η έλλειψη δύναμης στις προαναφερθείσες μυϊκές ομάδες αποτελεί έναν βασικό παράγοντα κινδύνου, ο οποίος αυξάνει την πιθανότητα επανατραυματισμού. Οι ασκήσεις Nordic Hamstrings και Copenhagen Adduction βελτιώνουν την δύναμη των οπίσθιων μηριαίων και των προσαγωγών μυών αντίστοιχα και μειώνουν την πιθανότητα επανατραυματισμού. Ωστόσο δεν έχει καθοριστεί με σαφήνεια στην βιβλιογραφία η επίδραση του συνδυασμού των δύο ασκήσεων στην μυϊκή δύναμη και στην αθλητική απόδοση. Στόχος: Να εξεταστεί η επίδραση του συνδυασμού των ασκήσεων NH και CA στην μυϊκή δύναμη και στην αθλητική απόδοση σε αθλητές ποδοσφαίρου. Μεθοδολογία: 38 αθλητές (15.3±0.49 έτη, 59.7±7.14 κιλά, 152.1±53.3 εκατοστά) από 1 ποδοσφαιρικό σύλλογο συμμετείχαν σε ένα προοδευτικό πρόγραμμα ενδυνάμωσης 4 εβδομάδων με τις ασκήσεις NH και CA να εκτελούνται 2 φορές την εβδομάδα κατά την διάρκεια της περιόδου προετοιμασίας της ομάδας. Αξιολογήθηκε η μυϊκή δύναμη και η αθλητική απόδοση (άλματα, ταχύτητα) πριν και μετά την παρέμβαση. Αποτελέσματα: Παρατηρήθηκε αύξηση της δύναμης κατά 9% (p=0.003) και 20% (p<0.001) στους οπίσθιους μηριαίους και στους προσαγωγούς μύες αντίστοιχα. Στην αθλητική ικανότητα σημειώθηκε μείωση της τάξης του 10% (p<0.001), 5% (p<0.007) και 5% (p=0.017) στο άλμα από καθιστή θέση, στο κατακόρυφο άλμα με αντίθετη κίνηση και στο κατακόρυφο άλμα με αντίθετη κίνηση με τη χρήση των χεριών αντίστοιχα. Βελτιώσεις της τάξης του 2% σημειώθηκαν στην ταχύτητα τόσο στα 10μ (p=0.026) όσο και στα 20μ (0.042), ενώ βελτίωση <1% (p=0.946) παρατηρήθηκε στην ταχύτητα στα 5μ. Συμπέρασμα: Ένα προοδευτικό πρόγραμμα ενδυνάμωσης 4 εβδομάδων με τον συνδυασμό των ασκήσεων Nordic Hamstring και Copenhagen Adduction παρουσίασε στατιστικά σημαντικές βελτιώσεις στην δύναμη και στην ικανότητα στο σπριντ σε νέους αθλητές ποδοσφαίρου. Παρατηρήθηκαν στατιστικά σημαντικές βελτιώσεις στην ταχύτητα των 10μ και 20μ, ενώ μη στατιστικά σημαντική ήταν η βελτίωση της ταχύτητας των 5μ. Δεν παρατηρήθηκαν βελτιώσεις της αλτικής ικανότητας των αθλητών.

description: The complex eikonal equation in the three space dimensions is considered. We show that apart from the recently found torus knots this equation can also generate other topological configurations with a non-trivial value of the $π_2(S^2)$ index: braided open strings as well as hedgehogs. In particular, cylindric strings i.e. string solutions located on a cylinder with a constant radius are found. Moreover, solutions describing strings lying on an arbitrary surface topologically equivalent to cylinder are presented. We discus them in the context of the eikonal knots. The physical importance of the results originates in the fact that the eikonal knots have been recently used to approximate the Faddeev-Niemi hopfions.

description: The NSF-funded Scalable CyberInfrastructure for Artificial Intelligence and Likelihood Free Inference (SCAILFIN) project aims to develop and deploy artificial intelligence (AI) and likelihood-free inference (LFI) techniques and software using scalable cyberinfrastructure (CI) built on top of existing CI elements. Specifically, the project has extended the CERN-based REANA framework, a cloud-based data analysis platform deployed on top of Kubernetes clusters that was originally designed to enable analysis reusability and reproducibility. REANA is capable of orchestrating extremely complicated multi-step workflows, and uses Kubernetes clusters both for scheduling and distributing container-based workloads across a cluster of available machines, as well as instantiating and monitoring the concrete workloads themselves. This work describes the challenges and development efforts involved in extending REANA and the components that were developed in order to enable large scale deployment on High Performance Computing (HPC) resources. Using the Virtual Clusters for Community Computation (VC3) infrastructure as a starting point, we implemented REANA to work with a number of differing workload managers, including both high performance and high throughput, while simultaneously removing REANA's dependence on Kubernetes support at the workers level. Performance results derived from running AI/LFI training workflows on a variety of large HPC sites will be presented.

description: This paper addresses the problem of downlink channel estimation in frequency-division duplexing (FDD) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The existing methods usually exploit hidden sparsity under a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) basis to estimate the cdownlink channel. However, there are at least two shortcomings of these DFT-based methods: 1) they are applicable to uniform linear arrays (ULAs) only, since the DFT basis requires a special structure of ULAs, and 2) they always suffer from a performance loss due to the leakage of energy over some DFT bins. To deal with the above shortcomings, we introduce an off-grid model for downlink channel sparse representation with arbitrary 2D-array antenna geometry, and propose an efficient sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) approach for the sparse channel recovery and off-grid refinement. The main idea of the proposed off-grid method is to consider the sampled grid points as adjustable parameters. Utilizing an in-exact block majorization-minimization (MM) algorithm, the grid points are refined iteratively to minimize the off-grid gap. Finally, we further extend the solution to uplink-aided channel estimation by exploiting the angular reciprocity between downlink and uplink channels, which brings enhanced recovery performance.

Η διαδικασία πραγματοποιήθηκε σε οικιακό φούρνο μικροκυμάτων, με θέρμανση του μελιού, κάνοντας χρήση δύο διαφορετικών τιμών ισχύος μικροκυμάτων, 90 W και 600 W. Οι παράμετροι που εκλέχθηκαν για να αποδειχτεί η επίδραση των μικροκυμάτων ήταν οι πολυφαινόλες, η HMF (Υδροξυμεθυλοφουρφουράλη) και η ενεργότητα του ενζύμου διαστάσης. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας έδειξαν ότι η αύξηση παραμονής στο φούρνο μικροκυμάτων οδήγησε στην αύξηση της θερμοκρασία στο εσωτερικό του μελιού και κατ’ επέκταση στην αποκρυστάλλωσή του. Στα περισσότερα επεξεργασμένα δείγματα παρατηρείται πλήρης αποκρυστάλλωση ενώ σε αλλά μερική . Οι πολυφαινόλες επηρεάστηκαν ανάλογα με το χρόνο παραμονής τους στα μικροκύματα καθώς και με την ισχύ τους. Η HMF παρουσίασε και στις δυο ισχύς αύξηση ανεξάρτητα από το είδος μελιού. Αντίθετα, παρατηρείται ότι η ενεργότητα διάστασης μειώνεται με την αύξηση της ισχύος, λόγω αύξησης της θερμοκρασίας εσωτερικού του μελιού.

description: The ultraluminous x-ray source (ULX) in the galaxy M82 has been identified as a possible intermediate-mass black hole. We have found that the x-ray flux from M82 is modulated with a peak-to-peak amplitude corresponding to an isotropic luminosity of 2.4x10^40 erg/s in M82 and a period of 62.0 +/- 2.5 days, which we interpret as the orbital period of the ULX binary. This orbital period implies that the mass-donor star must be a giant or supergiant. Large mass-transfer rates, sufficient to fuel the ULX, are expected for a giant-phase mass donor in an x-ray binary. The giant phase has a short lifetime, indicating that we see the ULX in M82 in a brief and unusual period of its evolution.

description: The Prp8 intein is one of the most widespread eukaryotic inteins, present in important pathogenic fungi, including Cryptococcus and Aspergillus species. Because the processed Prp8 carries out essential and non-redundant cellular functions, a Prp8 intein inhibitor is a mechanistically novel antifungal agent. In this report, we demonstrated that cisplatin, an FDA-approved cancer drug, significantly arrested growth of Prp8 intein-containing fungi C. neoformans and C. gattii, but only poorly inhibited growth of intein-free Candida species. These results suggest that cisplatin arrests fungal growth through specific inhibition of the Prp8 intein. Cisplatin was also found to significantly inhibit growth of C. neoformans in a mouse model. Our results further showed that cisplatin inhibited Prp8 intein splicing in vitro in a dose-dependent manner by direct binding to the Prp8 intein. Crystal structures of the apo- and cisplatin-bound Prp8 inteins revealed that two degenerate cisplatin molecules bind at the intein active site. Mutation of the splicing-site residues led to loss of cisplatin binding, as well as impairment of intein splicing. Finally, we found that overexpression of the Prp8 intein in cryptococcal species conferred cisplatin resistance. Overall, these results indicate that the Prp8 intein is a novel antifungal target worth further investigation.
Large q expansion of the 2D q-states Potts model

description: We present a recursive method to calculate a large q expansion of the 2d q-states Potts model free energies based on the Fortuin-Kasteleyn representation of the model. With this procedure, we compute directly the ordered phase partition function up to order 10 in 1/sqrt{q}. The energy cumulants at the transition can be obtained with suitable resummation and come out large for q less or around 15. As a consequence, expansions of the free energies around the transition temperature are useless for not large enough values of q. In particular the pure phase specific heats are predicted to be much larger, at q < 15, than the values extracted from current finite size scaling analysis of extrema, whereas they agree very well with recent values extracted at the transition point.

description: We examine energy relaxation of non-equilibrium quasiparticles in "dirty" superconductors with the electron mean free path much shorter than the superconducting coherence length. Relaxation of low-energy non-equilibrium quasiparticles is dominated by phonon emission. We derive the corresponding collision integral and find the quasiparticle relaxation rate. The latter is sensitive to the breaking of time reversal symmetry (TRS) by a magnetic field (or magnetic impurities). As a concrete application of the developed theory, we address quasiparticle trapping by a vortex and a current-biased constriction. We show that trapping of hot quasiparticles may predominantly occur at distances from the vortex core, or the constriction, significantly exceeding the superconducting coherence length.

description: 3.2 Cercopoidea   Les Cercopoidea (fig. 9 et 10), ou Cercopes, qui ont un corps trapu, des ailes antérieures presque toujours coriacées (homélytres ou tegmina), se singularisent par des tibias postérieurs cylindriques, munis, sur le côté externe d'un ou deux ergots (épines non articulées sur leur insertion) et, à l’apex, d’une demie couronne de très forts crampons plus déve ­ loppés que chez les superfamilles voisines. De taille moyenne inférieure à petite, les Cercopes excèdent rarement les 2 cm en longueur pour 1 cm en largeur. Il s'agit d’un groupe plutôt homogène dans ses formes, hormis la petite famille des Machaeroridés, dont quelques espèces possèdent une étrange épine scutellaire. Les livrées ont souvent des couleurs éclatantes et contrastées, opposant e rouge et le noir (Cercopis européens), le jaune et le bistre (Hemitriecphora dubosquei Lallemand), le jaune et le noir (Locris maculata (F abricius). Leurs moeurs sont grégaires ou solitaires, suivant les espèces. Les femelles pondent dans les tiges encore tendres de plantes diverses (ponte endophyte). Ce sont tous des hémimétaboles, possédant des larves non sauteuses, lesquelles stationnent et se développent dans des abris bulleux et dégoulinant5 (populairement dits “écume printanière", “bave de grenouille", “crachat de coucou "), qu’elles confectionnent à l'aide de sécrétions mucoprotéiques et d’un appareil aérifère et spumifère abdominal de forme tubulaire et typiquement larvaire (cf. PESSON 1955). Ce tube permet aux espèces se développant sur les plantes néo-tropicales du genre Heliconia. de séjourner, immergées, dans les bractées remplies d’eau pluviale des inflorescences (D. FISH 1977). D’autres larves, notamment du groupe des Machaerotidés, s'abritent dans des cylindres calcareux et toujours humides qu’elles fabriquent elles-mêmes, à l'aide de sécrétions carbonatées émises par des glandes anales particulières.
 La diversité, dans cette Superfamille, se manifeste encore ailleurs et d’une manière fort singulière pour des Cicadomorphes, puisque faisant entrer en jeu des relations phéromonales. Chez les Locris, un genre africano-malgache, les femelles disposent d’un appareil à phéromonc(s) comprenant un organe produc ­ teur et un système évacuateur. Mâles et femelles possèdent en outre des antennes au pédicelle gonflé par le développement de plusieurs sortes de sensillies (cf. BOULARD & BOULARD 1977 et ici fig. 11). Cet appareil reste actuellement sans équivalent.
Les Cercopes se rencontrent dans les strates herbacées et arboricoles. Ils ont une distribution quasi mondiale, exception faite des calottes glacées du Globe.

description: We study topological phase transitions in three-dimensional odd-parity or noncentrosymmetric superconductors with mirror symmetry when time-reversal symmetry is broken. We construct a generic phase diagram for Weyl superconductivity in the mirror-symmetric superconductors. It is shown that Weyl superconductivity generally emerges between the trivial and the topological crystalline superconductor phases. We demonstrate how a trajectory of the Weyl nodes determines the change in mirror Chern numbers in the topological phase transition. We also discuss a relationship between particle-hole symmetry and the trajectory of the Weyl nodes which realizes the topological crystalline superconductor phase.

description: High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities provide vast computational power and storage, but generally work on fixed environments designed to address the most common software needs locally, making it challenging for users to bring their own software. To overcome this issue, most HPC facilities have added support for HPC friendly container technologies such as Shifter, Singularity, or CharlieCloud. These different container technologies are all compatible with the more popular Docker containers, however the implementation and use of said containers is different for each HPC friendly container technology. These usage differences can make it difficult for an end user to easily submit and utilize different HPC sites without making adjustments to their workflows and software. This issue is exacerbated when attempting to utilize workflow management software between different sites with differing container technologies. The SCAILFIN project aims to develop and deploy artificial intelligence (AI) and likelihood-free inference (LFI) techniques and software using scalable cyberinfrastructure (CI) that span multiple sites. The project has extended the CERN-based REANA framework, a platform designed to enable analysis reusability, and reproducibility while supporting different workflow engine languages, in order to support submission to different HPC facilities. The work presented here focuses on the development of an abstraction layer that allows the support of different container technologies and different transfer protocols for files and directories between the HPC facility and the REANA cluster edge service from the user's workflow application.
Semi-classical Scar functions in phase space

description: We develop a semi-classical approximation for the scar function in the Weyl-Wigner representation in the neighborhood of a classically unstable periodic orbit of chaotic two dimensional systems. The prediction of hyperbolic fringes, asymptotic to the stable and unstable manifolds, is verified computationally for a (linear) cat map, after the theory is adapted to a discrete phase space appropriate to a quantized torus. Characteristic fringe patterns can be distinguished even for quasi-energies where the fixed point is not Bohr-quantized. Also the patterns are highly localized in the neighborhood of the periodic orbit and along its stable and unstable manifolds without any long distance patterns that appears for the case of the spectral Wigner function.

description: The convergence to equilibrium for renormalised solutions to nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems is studied. The considered reaction-diffusion systems arise from chemical reaction networks with mass action kinetics and satisfy the complex balanced condition. By applying the so-called entropy method, we show that if the system does not have boundary equilibria, then any renormalised solution converges exponentially to the complex balanced equilibrium with a rate, which can be computed explicitly up to a finite dimensional inequality. This inequality is proven via a contradiction argument and thus not explicitly. An explicit method of proof, however, is provided for a specific application modelling a reversible enzyme reaction by exploiting the specific structure of the conservation laws. Our approach is also useful to study the trend to equilibrium for systems possessing boundary equilibria. More precisely, to show the convergence to equilibrium for systems with boundary equilibria, we establish a sufficient condition in terms of a modified finite dimensional inequality along trajectories of the system. By assuming this condition, which roughly means that the system produces too much entropy to stay close to a boundary equilibrium for infinite time, the entropy method shows exponential convergence to equilibrium for renormalised solutions to complex balanced systems with boundary equilibria.

description: Here we present a method to find elementary first integrals of rational second order ordinary differential equations (SOODEs) based on a Darboux type procedure \cite{ManMac,firsTHEOps1,secondTHEOps1}. Apart from practical computational considerations, the method will be capable of telling us (up to a certain polynomial degree) if the SOODE has an elementary first integral and, in positive case, finds it via quadratures.
