description: The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) has emerged as a powerful tool in computational fluid dynamics and material science. However, standard LBM formulation imposes some limitations on the applications of the method, particularly compressible fluids. In this paper, we introduce a new velocity discretization method to overcome some of these challenges. In this new formulation, the particle populations are discretized using a bump function that has a mean and a variance. This introduces enough independent degrees of freedom to set the equilibrium moments to the moments of Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution up to and including the third moments. Consequently, the correct macroscopic fluid dynamics equations for compressible fluids are recovered. We validate our method using several benchmark simulations.

description: Assessment of the density of mitotic figures (MFs) in histologic tumor sections is an important prognostic marker for many tumor types, including breast cancer. Recently, it has been reported in multiple works that the quantity of MFs with an atypical morphology (atypical MFs, AMFs) might be an independent prognostic criterion for breast cancer. AMFs are an indicator of mutations in the genes regulating the cell cycle and can lead to aberrant chromosome constitution (aneuploidy) of the tumor cells. To facilitate further research on this topic using pattern recognition, we present the first ever publicly available dataset of atypical and normal MFs (AMi-Br). For this, we utilized two of the most popular MF datasets (MIDOG 2021 and TUPAC) and subclassified all MFs using a three expert majority vote. Our final dataset consists of 3,720 MFs, split into 832 AMFs (22.4%) and 2,888 normal MFs (77.6%) across all 223 tumor cases in the combined set. We provide baseline classification experiments to investigate the consistency of the dataset, using a Monte Carlo cross-validation and different strategies to combat class imbalance. We found an averaged balanced accuracy of up to 0.806 when using a patch-level data set split, and up to 0.713 when using a patient-level split.

description: Soils irrigated with phosphorus (P)-rich wastewater can increase the risk of P losses from land to water. We investigated if wastewater-irrigated soils can leach P through the soil profile and enrich groundwater. Soils were sampled annually for 20 years to 7.5 cm depth and for one year to 2.2 and 15 m. A mass balance showed that topsoils >200 mg L‚àí1 Olsen P (and <50% anion storage capacity, ASC) were no longer accumulating P and had very high concentrations of water and CaCl2-extractable P (designed to indicate loss to runoff and leaching, respectively). Samples in five paddocks showed substantial P leaching to 2.2 m, while sampling to 15 m showed leaching to 4.5 m depth. Deeper layers, especially in the 15 m deep cores, had a coarse texture and low capacity to sorb P, which caused high P concentrations (1.9 mg L‚àí1) at one groundwater site. Based on these data preventing soils from reaching the thresholds of 200 mg L‚àí1 Olsen P and 50% ASC is necessary to prevent excessive P losses.

description: Open star clusters are dynamic systems whose evolution is critically influenced by initial conditions such as star formation efficiency and orbital parameters. Understanding their dissolution mechanisms provides insight into stellar population dynamical mixing in the Milky Way. We aim to investigate the dynamical evolution and dissolution of initially non-virialised open clusters by examining how different global star formation efficiencies and orbital characteristics impact the cluster longevity and structural changes. We followed the evolution of the clusters up to their dissolution time on the basis of our calculations. We compare our open cluster dynamical evolutionary models with the observed open clusters in our Galaxy's solar vicinity. Using high-order direct N-body simulations, we modelled cluster evolution across different Galactic orbits, systematically varying initial star formation efficiencies to comprehensively explore dissolution mechanisms. Our simulations reveal that open clusters typically survive approximately ten orbital periods, with cluster lifetime being strongly dependent on global star formation efficiency and only marginally influenced by orbital eccentricity. We estimate gas expulsion timescales of 0.9 Myr, with initial supernova explosions efficiently removing gaseous components from the cluster. The expected lifetime of the cluster (in units of orbital periods) strongly depends on the cluster global star-formation efficiency and only slightly on the orbital eccentricities of the cluster. The theoretical models demonstrate a remarkable agreement of the Roche-volobe filling parameter with the recent observed Gaia DR3 cluster catalogues in the solar vicinity. By incorporating a mixed sample of clusters with varying star formation efficiencies, we provide a more nuanced understanding of open cluster evolution in the Galactic disc.

description: Phosphorus is an essential part of the world food web and a non-substitutable nutrient in all biological systems. A key global challenge is to meet rising worldwide food demand while protecting water and environmental quality, and seeking to manage uncertainty around potential future phosphorus price or supply shocks. This paper presents a stakeholder-generated conceptual model of potential transformative change for implementing phosphorus sustainability on the island of Ireland. Key transition pathways identified included: incentivising phosphorus recovery, developing collaborative networks to facilitate change, developing markets and value chains for recovered products; implementing data-informed practices on-farm to prevent losses and increase efficiencies, and harmonisation of technologies with end-user needs. A comparable model was previously produced for the North American region. We describe consensus and differences around key priorities between the two regions' conceptual models.

description: Procedural Content Generation (PCG) is widely used to create scalable and diverse environments in games. However, existing methods, such as the Wave Function Collapse (WFC) algorithm, are often limited to static scenarios and lack the adaptability required for dynamic, narrative-driven applications, particularly in augmented reality (AR) games. This paper presents a reinforcement learning-enhanced WFC framework designed for mobile AR environments. By integrating environment-specific rules and dynamic tile weight adjustments informed by reinforcement learning (RL), the proposed method generates maps that are both contextually coherent and responsive to gameplay needs. Comparative evaluations and user studies demonstrate that the framework achieves superior map quality and delivers immersive experiences, making it well-suited for narrative-driven AR games. Additionally, the method holds promise for broader applications in education, simulation training, and immersive extended reality (XR) experiences, where dynamic and adaptive environments are critical.

description: Background: Bacterial infections are a major complication for patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Therefore, protective isolation is considered crucial to prevent nosocomial infections in this population. Here, the impact of intensified contact precautions on environmental contamination and the occurrence of bloodstream infections (BSI) in patients on a HCT unit were compared between two contact precaution measures. Methods: A 2-year retrospective observational study was performed. In the first year, strict contact precaution measures were applied (i.e., protective isolation, the use of sterile personal protective equipment (PPE) by healthcare workers and visitors and sterilization of linen and objects that entered the patient’s room). After one year, contact precautions were reduced (i.e., no use of sterile PPE, no sterilization of linen and objects that entered the patient’s room). Environmental contamination in randomly selected patient rooms was monitored by sampling six standardized environmental sites in the respective patient treatment units. In a before-and-after study, the number of BSI episodes of those patients, who were accommodated in the monitored rooms was compared. Results: In total, 181 treatment units were monitored. No significant difference in the contamination of anterooms and patient’s rooms between both groups was found. A total of 168 patients were followed for the occurrence of BSI during the entire study period (before: 84 patients, after: 84 patients). The total count of patients with BSI episodes showed a higher incidence in the period with reduced contact precautions (30/84 vs. 17/84, p = 0.039). The cause of this increasing number of BSI can be traced back to BSI episodes with common commensal bacteria (17/84 vs. 5/84, p = 0.011). Conclusions: The implementation of maximal barrier measures did not reduce the bacterial contamination of the patients’ environment. The impact on the patients' outcomes remain controversial. Further research is needed to investigate the impact of infection prevention measures on the clinical outcome of patients undergoing HCT.

description: Despite greater emphasis on holistic phosphorus (P) management, current nutrient advice delivered at farm-scale still focuses almost exclusively on agricultural production. This limits our ability to address national and international strategies for the delivery of multiple ecosystem services (ES). As soil P fertility plays a central role in ES delivery, we argue that soil test phosphorus (STP) concentration provides a suitable common unit of measure by which delivering multiple ES can be economically valued relative to maximum potential yield. This value can then be traded, or payments made against one another, at spatio-temporal scales relevant for farmer and national policy objectives. Implementation of this framework into current P fertility management strategies would allow for the integration and interaction of different stakeholder interests in ES delivery on-farm and in the wider landscape.

These include embeddings of homology spheres in $S^4$ that are not isotopic but have diffeomorphic complements, and families (parameterized by high-dimensional spheres) of embeddings of any 3-manifold that embeds in a blown-up K3 surface. In each case, the families are constructed so as to be topologically trivial in an appropriate sense. We also illustrate a general technique for converting a non-trivial family of embeddings into a non-trivial family of submanifolds.

description: Between 2004 and 2013 phosphorus concentrations decreased at 65% of the 304 sites monitored. Our research found the most probable causes of improvement were that strategies were mitigating P loss from land, guidelines were directing where to best use strategies, and policy instruments were including P management. We found little evidence that this improvement was caused by a decrease in fertilizer use or change in fertilizer form, or that greater nitrate loads were assimilating P from groundwater or sediments.

description: In this synthesis, we assess present research and anticipate future development needs in modeling water quality in watersheds. We first discuss areas of potential improvement in the representation of freshwater systems pertaining to water quality, including representation of environmental interfaces, in-stream water quality and process interactions, soil health and land management, and (peri-)urban areas. In addition, we provide insights into the contemporary challenges in the practices of watershed water quality modeling, including quality control of monitoring data, model parameterization and calibration, uncertainty management, scale mismatches, and provisioning of modeling tools. Finally, we make three recommendations to provide a path forward for improving watershed water quality modeling science, infrastructure, and practices. These include building stronger collaborations between experimentalists and modelers, bridging gaps between modelers and stakeholders, and cultivating and applying procedural knowledge to better govern and support water quality modeling processes within organizations.

description: The black-box nature of large language models (LLMs) necessitates the development of eXplainable AI (XAI) techniques for transparency and trustworthiness. However, evaluating these techniques remains a challenge. This study presents a general evaluation framework using four key metrics: Human-reasoning Agreement (HA), Robustness, Consistency, and Contrastivity. We assess the effectiveness of six explainability techniques from five different XAI categories model simplification (LIME), perturbation-based methods (SHAP), gradient-based approaches (InputXGradient, Grad-CAM), Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP), and attention mechanisms-based explainability methods (Attention Mechanism Visualization, AMV) across five encoder-based language models: TinyBERT, BERTbase, BERTlarge, XLM-R large, and DeBERTa-xlarge, using the IMDB Movie Reviews and Tweet Sentiment Extraction (TSE) datasets. Our findings show that the model simplification-based XAI method (LIME) consistently outperforms across multiple metrics and models, significantly excelling in HA with a score of 0.9685 on DeBERTa-xlarge, robustness, and consistency as the complexity of large language models increases. AMV demonstrates the best Robustness, with scores as low as 0.0020. It also excels in Consistency, achieving near-perfect scores of 0.9999 across all models. Regarding Contrastivity, LRP performs the best, particularly on more complex models, with scores up to 0.9371.

description: We used a copula to model the joint drought duration-severity distribution and frequency to generate SDF curves for six locations in different climatic regions (3 in the North Island and 3 in the South Island). Based on a bivariate-fitted model for duration and severity, drought SDF curves for various recurrence intervals were derived. We found that North Island locations experienced more dry spells than the South Island locations. The SDF curves provide a comprehensive understanding of occurrence and duration of dry conditions, and can be a useful tool for natural resource managers in developing short and long-term drought mitigation strategies for water management and conservation.

description: We performed a computational analysis on percolation transport and filament formation in amorphous $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ (a-GST) using 2D finite-element multi-physics simulations with 2 nm out-of-plane depth using an electric-field and temperature dependent electronic transport model with carrier activation energies that vary locally around 0.3 eV and as a function of temperature. We observe the snapback (threshold switching) behavior in the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics at ~50 MV/m electric field with 0.63 $μ$A current for 300 K ambient temperature, where current collapses onto a single molten filament with ~ 2 nm diameter, aligned with the electric field, and the device switches from a high resistance state (108 $Ω$) to a low resistance state (103 $Ω$). Further increase in voltage across the device leads to widening of the molten filament. Snap-back current and electric field are strong functions of ambient temperature, ranging from ~ 0.53 $μ$A at 200 K to ~ 16.93 $μ$A at 800 K and ~ 85 MV/m at 150 K to 45 MV/m at 350 K, respectively. Snap-back electric-field decreases exponentially with increasing device length, converging to ~ 38 MV/m for devices longer than 200 nm.

description: A common land and water management task is to determine where and by how much source loadings need to change to meet water quality limits in receiving environments. This paper addresses the problem of quantifying changes in loading when limits are specified in many locations in a large and spatially heterogeneous catchment, accounting for cumulative downstream impacts. Current approaches to this problem tend to use either scenario analysis or optimization, which suffer from difficulties of generating scenarios that meet the limits, or high complexity of optimization approaches. In contrast, we present a novel method in which simple catchment models, load limits, upstream/downstream spatial relationships and spatial allocation rules are combined to arrive at source load changes. The process iteratively establishes the critical location (river segment or lake) where the limits are most constraining, and then adjusts sources upstream of the critical location to meet the limit at that location. The method is demonstrated with application to New Zealand (268,000‚Äâkm2) for nutrients and the microbial indicator E. coli, which was conducted to support policy development regarding water quality limits. The model provided useful insights, such as a source load excess (the need for source load reduction) even after mitigation measures are introduced in order to comply with E. coli limits. On the other hand, there was headroom (ability to increase source loading) for nutrients. The method enables assessment of the necessary source load reductions to achieve water quality limits over broad areas such as large catchments or whole regions.

description: We use the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamical simulation to study the rotation curves of galaxies in the local universe. To do that, we first select the galaxies with 9.4 $<$ $\log{(M_\mathrm{star}/M_\odot)}$ $<$ 11.5 to make a sample comparable to that of SDSS/MaNGA observations. We then construct the two-dimensional line-of-sight velocity map and conduct the fit to determine the rotational velocity and the slope of the rotation curve in the outer region ($R_\mathrm{t}

description: Purpose: Lebanon’s 2019‑2024 poly‑crisis devastated educators’ purchasing power; fresh‑dollar decrees in 2023‑2024 restored a livable wage, yet morale remained flat. This paper explores, through a purely qualitative lens, whether transformational leadership (TL) can address the non‑salary stressors that now dominate educators’ work lives in Lebanese educational NGOs.Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative critical‑interpretive synthesis (CIS) of 68 peer‑reviewed and grey documents (January 2023–March 2025) was undertaken. Texts included interview‑based studies, case narratives, policy briefs and NGO learning reports. Following Noblit and Hare (1988) meta‑ethnographic steps, first‑order (participant) and second‑order (author) constructs were re‑translated into overarching third‑order themes.Findings: Three interlocking wounds recur across the literature: capability anxiety (teachers narrate “tech shame” and fear of hybrid platforms), complexity overload (accounts of “Excel avalanches” and “audit‑visible reporting”), and purpose drift (staff speak of “mission ping‑pong” as donor KPIs rotate). In crisis settings from Nepal to Argentina, Transformational Leadership behaviors; especially risk‑sharing, vision narration and peer‑learning rituals appear to transform these wounds into sources of collective agency (Bass and Riggio, 2006; Cummings et al., 2018; Judge and Piccolo, 2004).Research limitations/implications: Although this study integrates a wide array of qualitative evidence; interview transcripts, focus-group narratives, case vignettes drawn from both published and unpublished sources, it did not include new primary fieldwork in Lebanese NGOs. Future research should complement this conceptual synthesis with in-situ ethnographic interviews and participant observation to test and refine the proposed Transformational Leadership micro-practice model.Practical implications: A five‑step, low‑cost Transformational Leadership (TL) for‑Learning‑Quality Toolkit is proposed; every practice is traceable to successful examples in the reviewed literature.Social implications: By investing in low-cost leadership routines, NGOs don’t just improve staff well-being—they safeguard the education of roughly 200 000 crisis-affected learners, ensuring that instability at the top doesn’t translate into chaos in the classroom.Originality/value: First qualitative synthesis to connect TL simultaneously to capability anxiety, complexity overload and purpose drift in Lebanon’s post‑pay‑correction NGO sector.

description: An important policy consideration for integrated land and water management is to understand the spatial distribution of nitrate attenuation in the groundwater system, for which redox condition is the key indicator. This paper proposes a methodology to accommodate the computational demands of large datasets, and presents national-scale predictions of groundwater redox class for New Zealand. Our approach applies statistical learning methods to predict redox status in areas without sample data. A key achievement was to overcome the influence of sample selection bias on model training via oversampling. National maps are provided for redox class and probability at specified depths. Our model provides unbiased predictions at a scale relevant for environmental policy, and enables targeted interventions that can achieve the desired environmental outcome in a more cost-effective manner than non-targeted interventions.

Decision Making

description: Two key uses of patient preference information are to inform the choice of patient-relevant endpoints by providing information on the relative importance of what matters to patients, and to provide information on patients’ views about the acceptability of trade-offs between treatment characteristics, or other attributes of treatments or health interventions. The PREFER Recommendations provide expert and evidence-based guidance from six years of research on when and how to design and conduct a patient preference study. The PREFER project was a joint undertaking by 33 public and private partners with more than 130 people representing academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, health technology agencies, and patient organisations in European countries and in the US.

description: Catchment water quality models are essential for freshwater management; however, their value is dependent on their performance and level of uncertainty. Here we present the latest calibration of the Catchment Landuse for Environmental Sustainability model (CLUES) and examine the implications of the calibration for estimating in-stream contaminant attenuation. CLUES estimates catchment mean annual loads of Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus and E. coli and is widely used in New Zealand for both catchment planning and policy development. We found that CLUES gives reasonable load estimates at the catchment scale. However, there was significant uncertainty in the SPARROW parameterisation. We conclude that while CLUES can be used to estimate catchment contaminant loads, it cannot adequately estimate instream attenuation. Improved representation of lower order streams in the calibration data would allow us to evaluate the source yields from each of the model components to better estimate attenuation.

description: Radio-frequency (RF) modulations can influence the microbunching instability dynamics and serve to eventually control them with reinforcement learning (RL) methods. Implementing such a feedback system at the Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA) will require that the action decided by the RL agent, in this case an RF modulation, is applied effectively to the electron beam. Such a modulation can be carried out at KARA by two different devices: the kicker cavity of the bunch-by-bunch feedback system and the accelerating cavities of the main RF system. The Low-Level RF (LLRF) feedback system would require hardware and firmware modifications to accept the continuous action signal given by the RL agent, so systematic measurements were performed to decide which system should be used in the future. Modulations around different harmonics of the synchrotron frequency were applied and the coherent synchrotron light emitted due to the microbunching dynamics analyzed. These measurements were also performed at negative momentum compaction optics, a regime in which the control of the microbunching instability could yield especially intense light.
