description: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a widespread virus that can cause serious and irreversible neurological damage in newborns and even death in children who do not have the access to much-needed medications. While some vaccines and drugs are found to be effective against HCMV, their extended use has given rise to dose-limiting toxicities and the development of drug-resistant mutants among patients. Despite half a century’s worth of research, the lack of a licensed HCMV vaccine heightens the need to develop newer antiviral therapies and vaccine candidates with improved effectiveness and reduced side effects. In this study, the immunoinformatics approach was utilized to design a potential polyvalent epitope-based vaccine effective against the four virulent strains of HCMV. The vaccine was constructed using seven CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes epitopes, nine CD4+ helper T lymphocyte epitopes, and twelve linear B-cell lymphocyte epitopes that were predicted to be antigenic, non-allergenic, non-toxic, fully conserved, and non-human homologous. Subsequently, molecular docking study, protein-protein interaction analysis, molecular dynamics simulation (including the root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) and root mean square deviation (RMSD)), and immune simulation study rendered promising results assuring the vaccine to be stable, safe, and effective. Finally, in silico cloning was conducted to develop an efficient mass production strategy of the vaccine. However, further in vitro and in vivo research studies on the proposed vaccine are required to confirm its safety and efficacy. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: The work focuses on the development of a laser-based process for the additive manufacturing of components with complex geometries from alkali-activated materials. The "Laser-Induced Slip Casting" (LIS) process, originally developed for the additive manufacturing of ceramics, was transferred to handle reactive suspensions such as alkali-activated fly ash and optimized for this pur-pose. In the LIS process, a suspension is layerwise applied and selectively treated with a laser. This produces a green body in the laser treated area, which can be easily removed from the suspension after finishing the printing-process and subsequently after-cured. The advantage of the alkali-activated materials over conventional cement-based binders is their ability to react quickly when heated, making them very suitable for the LIS additive manufacturing process. In addition, the alkali-activated binders have very high acid resistance when properly formulated, resulting in components with increased chemical resistance compared to conventional binders.

description: Game theoretic tools are utilized to analyze a one-locus continuous selection model of sex-specific meiotic drive by considering nonequivalence of the viabilities of reciprocal heterozygotes that might be noticed at an imprinted locus. The model draws attention to the role of viability selections of different types to examine the stable nature of polymorphic equilibrium. A bridge between population genetics and evolutionary game theory has been built up by applying the concept of the Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection. In addition to pointing out the influences of male and female segregation ratios on selection, configuration structure reveals some noted results, e.g., Hardy-Weinberg frequencies hold in replicator dynamics, occurrence of faster evolution at the maximized variance fitness, existence of mixed Evolutionarily Stable Strategy ($ESS$) in asymmetric games, the tending evolution to follow not only a $1:1$ sex ratio but also a $1:1$ different alleles ratio at particular gene locus. Through construction of replicator dynamics in the group selection framework, our selection model introduces a redefining bases of game theory to incorporate non-random mating where a mating parameter associated with population structure is dependent on the social structure. Also, the model exposes the fact that the number of polymorphic equilibria will depend on the algebraic expression of population structure.

description: The building and construction sectors are major contributors to the world's energy consumption, which necessitates new innovations such as construction 3D printing technology where concrete can be deposited precisely to tune the thermal performance. With this backdrop, this study aims to investigate the thermal transmittance of four lattice structures, namely honeycomb lattice, single triangular lattice, double triangular lattice, and square lattice, which have been previously studied for their mechanical performance. Through numerical simulations, the intricacies of heat transfer mechanisms within the complex cavities have been discussed with the role of different heat transfer modes. The numerical results reveal that, while square lattice exhibited the lowest thermal transmittance (4.39 W/m2K), it exceeds regulatory requirements by a considerable margin (9 times higher). To address this disparity, the study explores two physics-driven approaches: cavity insulation and the application of plastering to both internal and external structures. These strategies exhibit promising results, yielding substantial reductions in the U value by 102% and 290% respectively. The scientific study revealed that despite having low thermal conductivity (of insulation material), cavity insulation could not significantly reduce the U value compared to plastering owing to the nature of the arrangement of thermal re-sistances. However, from an economic standpoint, insulation cost was found to be almost 15 times lower than that of plastering. This investigation provides novel pathways to tackle the thermal challenges of 3D-printed lattice structures and prompts the research community to delve deeper into the domain for a com-fortable built environment at an economical cost.

Constraints on Steep Equation of State for the Dark Energy using BAO

description: We present a parametrization for the Dark Energy Equation of State "EoS" which has a rich structure. Our EoS has a transition at pivotal redshift $z_T$ between the present day value $w_0$ to an early time $w_i=w_a+w_0\equiv w(z>>0)$ and the steepness of this transition is given in terms of the $q$ parameter. The proposed parametrization is $w=w_0+w_a(z/z_T)^q/(1+(z/z_T))^q$, with $w_0$, $w_i$, $q $ and $z_T$ constant parameters. This transition is motivated by scalar field dynamics such as for example quintessence models. Our parametrization reduces to the widely used EoS $w=w_0+w_a(1-a)$ for $z_T=q=1$. We study if a late time transition is favored by BAO measurements and Planck priors. According to our results, an EoS with a present value of $w_0 = -0.91$ and a high redshifts value $w_i =-0.62$, featuring a transition at a redshift of $z_T = 1.16$ with an exponent $q = 9.95$ is a good fit to the observational data. We found good agreement between the model and the data reported by the different surveys. A "thawing" dynamics is preferred by the use of BAO data alone (including Lymman-$α$ forest measurements) and a "freezing" evolution of the EoS is preferred when we include the priors from Planck. The constraints imposed by the available BAO measurements (\cite{Beutler:2011hx, Ross:2014qpa, Anderson:2013oza, Kazin:2014qga, Font-Ribera:2013wce, Delubac:2014aqe, Gong:2015tta}) and its physical behavior are discussed.

description: Within the framework of a flat cosmological model a propagation of an instantaneous burst of isotropic radiation is considered from the moment of its beginning at some initial redshift z0 to the moment of its registration now (at z=0). We take into account Thomson scattering by free electrons and scattering in La and Lb lines of primordial hydrogen and in lines 1s2 - 1s2p, 1s3p (1S-1P*) of HeI. It is shown that relative amplitude of spectrum distortions caused by scattering in these lines may be from 1000 to 10000 times greater than maximum possible amplitude due to scattering in subordinate lines considered in our previous paper (Dubrovich, Grachev, 2015). In a linear approximation on the optical thickness in the lines the profiles of distortions in resonance lines turn out to be purely in absorption and do not depend on both direction and distance to the burst center in contradistinction to the profiles in subordinate lines. The profiles contain jumps on frequencies corresponding to appearance of a source (burst) at a given redshift z=z0. For z0=5000 the jumps in hydrogen La and Lb lines are on frequencies 493 and 584 GHz respectively and jumps in two HeI lines are on 855 and 930 GHz for z0=6000. Relative magnitude of jumps amounts to 1e-4 - 3e-3.

description: 3D concrete printing (3DCP) is an innovative additive manufacturing technique. To enable this emerging technology for large-scale structural applications under complex loading conditions such as cyclic loading, reinforcement is necessary but the incorporation of reinforcement into 3DCP is challenging, since provided reinforcement should be compatible with layer-by-layer construction. In this context fibers are the first choice of researchers to provide as reinforcement but their applications are limited to nonstructural component with an ulti-mate strain of 2-3%. Strain-hardening concrete which enhances the material's ability to deform gradually under stress, ensuring safety, and adaptability in diverse loading scenarios for large scale applications, offer one possible solution to this challenge. This study explores the utilization of strain-hardening concrete to improve the strength and seismic performance of 3DCP lattice walls. Material characterization and finite element analysis (FEA) are conducted, considering detailed input parameters derived from experimentation, such as stiffness coeffi-cient and interlayer parameters, to accurately replicate 3DCP behavior. Compo-site micro-modelling, employing the cohesive zone model and concrete damage plasticity model, is adopted to analyze load-bearing 3DCP walls under quasi-static cyclic in-plane loading. The resistance of 3DCP lattice walls is examined using shear and flexure specimens with specific aspect ratios of one and two, respectively. Effects of different material properties such as mortar, concrete and fiber reinforced strain hardening concrete are studied using the developed model based on the failure pattern of specimens. A validation study to evaluate the per-formance of the proposed model is also carried out, and found out that the pro-posed model is well capturing the pinching effect in hysteretic curve. It is con-cluded that the effectiveness of strain hardening material even with a minimal 0.5% steel fiber dosage and 15% coarse aggregate, the ultimate strain exceeds 3% and increases the cyclic lateral strength of 3DCP lattice wall including de-formation capacity, promising resilient structural applications in 3DCP.

description: High-entropy alloys are an intriguing new class of metallic materials that derive their properties from being multi-element systems that can crystallize as a single phase, despite containing high concentrations of five or more elements with different crystal structures. Here we examine an equiatomic medium-entropy alloy containing only three elements, CrCoNi, as a single-phase face-centered cubic (fcc) solid solution, which displays strength-toughness properties that exceed those of all high-entropy alloys and most multi-phase alloys. At room temperature the alloy shows tensile strengths of almost 1 GPa, failure strains of ~70%, and KJIc fracture-toughness values above 200 MPa.m1/2; at cryogenic temperatures strength, ductility and toughness of the CrCoNi alloy improve to strength levels above 1.3 GPa, failure strains up to 90% and KJIc values of 275 MPa.m1/2. Such properties appear to result from continuous steady strain hardening, which acts to suppress plastic instability, resulting from pronounced dislocation activity and deformation-induced nano-twinning.

description: While 3D concrete printing (3DCP) is recognized as a viable automa-tion option in the building construction sector, limited work has been done in order to use the technology in automating road construction or rehabilitation ac-tivities. This paper assesses the possibility of using a particle-bed printing tech-nique known as aggregate bed printing to create structures that reinforce base or subbase pavement layers via finite element modelling. The study briefly explains the reasoning behind the proposed concept and re-views the results obtained from the finite element model developed. Model box plate load tests were simulated using ABAQUS for unreinforced, geocell rein-forced and concrete reinforced specimens under static loading. The results show that both geocell and concrete reinforcements perform quite similar under static loading. Both reinforcement techniques performed better than the unreinforced specimen. While geocell reduced the deformation from 26.95 mm to 3.24 mm, concrete confinement decreased it to 4.43 mm. In addi-tion, the study stresses the necessity of examining the variation in properties be-tween aggregate bed printed structures and mouldcast concrete elements. Finally, the paper elaborates on the limitations of the model developed and proposes the use of optimization techniques combined with finite element mod-elling to optimize the printing shape and further improve the performance.

description: The method of non-Riemannian (metric-independent) spacetime volume-forms (alternative generally-covariant integration measure densities) is applied to construct a modified model of gravity coupled to a single scalar field providing an explicit unification of dark energy (as a dynamically generated cosmological constant) and dust fluid dark matter flowing along geodesics as an exact sum of two separate terms in the scalar field energy-momentum tensor. The fundamental reason for the dark species unification is the presence of a non-Riemannian volume-form in the scalar field action which both triggers the dynamical generation of the cosmological constant as well as gives rise to a hidden nonlinear Noether symmetry underlying the dust dark matter fluid nature. Upon adding appropriate perturbation breaking the hidden "dust" Noether symmetry we preserve the geodesic flow property of the dark matter while we suggest a way to get growing dark energy in the present universe' epoch free of evolution pathologies. Also, an intrinsic relation between the above modified gravity + single scalar field model and a special quadratic purely kinetic "k-essence" model is established as a weak-versus-strong-coupling duality.

description: Real-time dynamics in one-dimensional transverse Ising model coupled with the time-dependent oscillating field is analyzed by using the infinite time-evolving block decimation algorithm and the Floquet theory. In particular, the transient dynamics induced by the pulse field and their connections to the dynamics by a continuous-wave field are focused on. During the pulse-field irradiation, the order parameter shows a characteristic oscillation, in which the frequency shifts from the pulse-field frequency. This is considered as a kind of the Rabi oscillation, but the frequency strongly depends on the intersite Ising interaction. After turning off the pulse field, the oscillation remains with a frequency $\mathitΩ$ and a damping constant $γ$. In the case of low fluence, both $\mathitΩ$ and $γ$ are scaled by the pulse amplitude in a wide range of the parameter values of the model. In the case of high fluence, $\mathitΩ$ and $γ$ are arranged by a product of the pulse amplitude and the pulse width. This implies that the dynamics after turning off the pulse field are decided by a population of the excited state when the pulse field is turned off.

While geocell reduced the deformation from 26.95 mm to 3.24 mm, concrete confinement decreased it to 4.43 mm. In addi-tion, the study stresses the necessity of examining the variation in properties be-tween aggregate bed printed structures and mouldcast concrete elements. Finally, the paper elaborates on the limitations of the model developed and proposes the use of optimization techniques combined with finite element mod-elling to optimize the printing shape and further improve the performance.

description: Charged spinor matter field is quantized in a spatial region bounded by two parallel neutral plates. The most general set of boundary conditions ensuring the confinement of matter within the plates is considered. We study a response of the vacuum of the confined matter to the background uniform magnetic field which is directed orthogonally to the plates. It is proven that, in the case of a sufficiently strong magnetic field, the vacuum pressure onto the plates is positive and independent of the boundary condition, as well as of the distance between the plates.

description: Earth-based building materials provide a pathway to mitigating the carbon footprint of the construction sector. The use of these materials is still nowadays limited because of their weak mechanical properties and the time required for drying. This paper proposes to investigate the synergic approach which consists in coupling a 3D printed earth-based open matrix core wall system to a hy-groscopic insulation material: moisture transport from this hygroscopic insulation material to earth-based printed material aims to reduce the amount of water pen-etrating into the printed soil, and thus increase the drying rate of the earth and its so-called ‘buildability’ property at the same time. A choice has been made to focus in this study on a matrix core insulated wall system composed of clay as printed material and on wood fibers as hygroscopic insulation material. Apart from the service-life properties provided by the coupling of both materials, this work mainly aims to assess, first and foremost, the potential of dry wood fibers filling to stiffen printed soil-based structure during 3D printing process.

description: A large panel of old and recently proposed exchange-correlation functionals belonging to rungs 1 to 4 of Jacob's ladder of density functional theory are tested (with and without a dispersion correction term) for the calculation of the lattice constant, bulk modulus, and cohesive energy of solids. Particular attention will be paid to the functionals MGGA_MS2 [J. Sun et al., J. Chem. Phys. 138, 044113 (2013)], mBEEF [J. Wellendorff et al., J. Chem. Phys. 140, 144107 (2014)], and SCAN [J. Sun et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 036402 (2015)] that are approximations of the meta-generalized gradient type and were developed with the goal to be universally good. Another goal is also to determine for which semilocal functionals and groups of solids it is beneficial (or not necessary) to use the Hartree-Fock exchange or a dispersion correction term.

description: This survey provides self-reported information from young adults in Switzerland. The primary objective was to obtain current epidemiological data on young people’s sexual and reproductive health and behaviors.
description: The last survey centered on the sexual and reproductive health of adolescents/young adults in Switzerland was carried out in 1995. Since then, all data on the subject come from general surveys. As contextual factors, the life contexts of youths explain a large amount of the variance in sex-related behaviors, and a fair amount of new developments have appeared in the last twenty years that might have had an impact on youth’s sexual behavior: AIDS has gone from a fatal to a chronic condition, there has been a liberalization of the access to emergency contraception, Swiss law changed in 2002 and allowed abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, the HPV vaccine is recommended as part of the vaccination program (for girls since 2008 and for boys since 2016), sildenafil citrate (e.g. Viagra®) has appeared on the market as a treatment for erectile dysfunction, pornography has become extremely accessible and free, phenomena of online sex and sexting have emerged. These changes might have an impact on adolescent sexual behaviors although we do not know how and to what extent.
description: Improving sexual and reproductive health is a public health priority, and the timing of first sexual intercourse and the context in which it occurs both have health implications. Moreover, information and monitoring about sexual behavior is essential to the design and assessment of interventions to improve sexual health.
Enhancing thermal conductivity of bulk polyethylene along two directions by paved crosswise laminate

description: Recently, some reports show that the ultra-low thermal conductivity of bulk polymers can be enhanced along one direction, which limits its applications. Here, we proposed paved crosswise laminate methods which can enhance the thermal conductivity of bulk polyethylene (PE) along two directions. We find that the thermal conductivity of paved crosswise polyethylene laminate (PPEL) reaches as high as 181 W/m-K along two in-plane directions, which is three orders of magnitude larger than bulk amorphous polyethylene and even more than two times larger than PE single chain (54 W/m-K). The analyses of mechanism indicated that PPEL is a much more crystal-like structure due to the inter-chain van der Waals interactions. Our study may provide guides on the design and fabrication of polymer structures with high thermal conductivity.

description: Un projet-pilote, sous la forme d’une structure d’information et d’orientation destinée aux personnes âgées, à leurs proches et aux partenaires socio-sanitaires, a été mis en place depuis le 1er janvier 2016 sur les communes du Locle et des Brenets, puis étendu sur l’ensemble du district du Locle au 1er janvier 2017, afin de tester et valider l’approche.
description: Dans le cadre des travaux de la planification médico-sociale (PMS) du canton de Neuchâtel et afin d’améliorer l’orientation des personnes âgées de plus de 65 ans dans le réseau socio-sanitaire du canton, le rapport « Réseau et entretiens d’orientation » préconisait la création d’un dispositif d’information, d’orientation et de coordination à l’échelle cantonale, portée par un établissement autonome de droit public. La finalité annoncée de ce dispositif est « d’augmenter l’espérance de vie sans incapacité », par la détection et la prise en charge précoce et adaptée des personnes pré-fragiles et fragiles.
description: Avant le déploiement à grande échelle de ce dispositif, l’État a souhaité l’expérimenter sur un territoire du canton. L’Association Réseau Orientation Santé Social (AROSS) a ainsi été créée en mars 2015 afin de promouvoir le développement d’un réseau socio-sanitaire assurant l’information, l’orientation et l’efficience de l’accompagnement des personnes âgées de plus de 65 ans, dans une optique de continuité des soins.

description: Les enquêtes populationnelles sur la victimisation et la délinquance chez les jeunes dans le canton de Neuchâtel ont été effectuées sur mandat du Département de l'éducation et de la famille (DEF, Service de l'enseignement obligatoire) et du Département de la justice, de la sécurité et de la culture (DJSC, Police judiciaire). En 2010, un sondage auto-reporté a été mené auprès des élèves de 9ème année (correspondant aujourd’hui à la 11ème année HarmoS, dernière année de scolarité obligatoire) de l’ensemble du canton de Neuchâtel. La répétition de cette enquête en 2017 auprès des élèves en 11ème année HarmoS avait pour objectif principal d’observer l’évolution de la victimisation, de la violence et des autres comportements déviants. L’étude 2017 a également permis d’étudier de nouvelles formes de comportements comme les violences au sein des jeunes couples et les comportements des jeunes issus de minorités sexuelles.
description: La délinquance des jeunes et leur consommation de substances psychoactives sont des thèmes très médiatisés suscitant de nombreuses inquiétudes dans la population. Les enquêtes standardisées auprès des jeunes concernant la délinquance qu’ilsa ont expérimentée, en tant qu’auteurs ou victimes, constituent une source précieuse de données pour en étudier l’évolution, ainsi que pour mieux comprendre d’autres comportements à risque. Elles permettent également de décrire et de mieux cerner les contextes dans lesquels se produisent ces comportements et les facteurs qui leur sont associés. Ces enquêtes sont un moyen efficace de dresser un état des lieux qui va bien au-delà de ce que peuvent montrer les statistiques officielles de la police et de la justice.
description: La première partie de ce rapport présente l’évolution, entre 2010 et 2017, de la victimisation, de la violence, de la délinquance, du harcèlement entre pairs dans la perspective des victimes et des auteurs, de la consommation de substances psychoactives, ainsi que de l’état de santé de ces jeunes. Ce rapport se poursuit avec un état des lieux de ces mêmes indicateurs selon la voie scolaire en 2017. Nous continuons par une présentation des relations qu’ont les jeunes en couple et des éventuels comportements abusifs entre eux. Finalement, un chapitre est consacré aux minorités sexuelles.

description: The powder bed-based technique of selective activation, combined with proper material formulations, can effectively address challenges related to over-hanging parts and intricate detailing in additive manufacturing with mineral-based materials. While there is extensive research on cement-based materials, a notable gap remains in understanding geopolymer-based materials in the context of addi-tive manufacturing. This investigation focuses on the material parameter aspect with respect to printability performance, presenting a novel perspective. Geopolymer binders require further investigation to establish a comprehensive understanding on the correlation between various material and printing parame-ters. On the side of metakaolin-based binder, gap-graded particle gradation is con-sidered to study their effect on dimensional accuracy in relation to the activating agent used. A single layer analysis is conducted to investigate the interrelations between the material and printing parameters. In particular, this study aims to comprehensively investigate the influence of several key printing parameters, in-cluding feed height (FH), layer height (LH), and the orientation of specimens rela-tive to the print head along with loading direction, on both the mechanical prop-erties and dimensional accuracy of printed parts. By systematically varying these factors and conducting thorough analyses, the research elucidates their individual and collective impacts on the performance and quality of printed components. Additionally, quantitative analysis of the powder bed features are performed using microscopy. The study aims to crease a base for producing facade elements and load-bearing elements with geopolymer binder in the near future.
