description: This paper develops a robust optimization based method to design orbits on which the sensory perception of the desired physical quantities are maximized. It also demonstrates how to incorporate various constraints imposed by many spacecraft missions such as collision avoidance, co-orbital configuration, altitude and frozen orbit constraints along with Sun-Synchronous orbit. The paper specifically investigates designing orbits for constrained visual sensor planning applications as the case study. For this purpose, the key elements to form an image in such vision systems are considered and effective factors are taken into account to define a metric for perception quality. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method for several scenarios on low and medium Earth orbits as well as a challenging Space-Based Space Surveillance program application.

description: The Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) VIRUS Parallel Survey (HETVIPS) is a blind spectroscopic program that sparsely covers approximately two-thirds of the celestial sphere and consists of roughly 252 million fiber spectra. The spectra were taken in parallel mode with the Visible Integral-field Replicable Unit Spectrograph (VIRUS) instrument when the HET was observing a primary target with other HET facility instruments. VIRUS can simultaneously obtain approximately 35,000 spectra covering 3470A to 5540A at a spectral resolution of ~800. Although the vast majority of these spectra cover blank sky, we used the Pan-STARRS1 Data Release 2 Stacked Catalog to identify objects encompassed in the HETVIPS pointings and extract their spectra. This paper presents the first HETVIPS data release, containing 493,012 flux-calibrated spectra obtained through 31 March 2023, as well as a description of the data processing technique. Each of the object spectra were classified, resulting in a catalog of 74,196 galaxies, 4,087 quasars, 259,396 stars, and 154,543 unknown sources.

description: The existence of a “Matthew Effect” (a feedback loop where (dis)advantage tends to beget further (dis)advantage) in science has long been recognised. In 1968, Merton[1] proposed that already successful scientists receive disproportionately high rewards in comparison to less-famous counterparts. Subsequent studies have identified the Matthew Effect at work based on criteria like institutions, departments, geographical proximity and countries, as well as the individual attributes of researchers (e.g., race, gender). It is at work across scientific endeavours, including peer review, public engagement, article citations, funding acquisition and prestige public engagement, article citations, funding acquisition and prestige as measured via awards/prizes. Open Science promises to fundamentally transform scholarship to bring greater transparency, inclusivity and participation to research processes, and increase the academic, economic and societal impact of research outputs. Yet access is not made uniform simply because resources are made available via the Internet. Re-use and participation must also be accompanied by the capacity (in terms of knowledge, skills, technological readiness and motivation) to take up these resources. Absorptive capacity varies considerably. This is true of institutions, businesses and people. Such differences are exacerbated by factors like geographic location, language abilities, technological skills, educational levels and access to basic equipment (including, e.g., Internet access). Those in possession of such capacities will remain at an advantage, with the effect that Open Science’s laudable agenda of inclusivity is put at risk by conditions of “cumulative advantage” (“Matthew Effect”). This presentation outlines our first findings on the extent to which Open Science practices (OA, FAIR data, open peer review, etc.) are subject to the Matthew Effect and opens up to critical discussion the extent to which current strategies for achieving Open Science may actually exacerbate or introduce inequalities.

description: Insects are the most diverse group of animals on Earth, yet our knowledge of their diversity, ecology and population trends remains abysmally poor. Four major technological approaches are coming to fruition for use in insect monitoring and ecological research—molecular methods, computer vision, autonomous acoustic monitoring and radar-based remote sensing—each of which has seen major advances over the past years. Together, they have the potential to revolutionize insect ecology, and to make all-taxa, fine-grained insect monitoring feasible across the globe. So far, advances within and among technologies have largely taken place in isolation, and parallel efforts among projects have led to redundancy and a methodological sprawl; yet, given the commonalities in their goals and approaches, increased collaboration among projects and integration across technologies could provide unprecedented improvements in taxonomic and spatio-temporal resolution and coverage. This theme issue showcases recent developments and state-of-the-art applications of these technologies, and outlines the way forward regarding data processing, cost-effectiveness, meaningful trend analysis, technological integration and open data requirements. Together, these papers set the stage for the future of automated insect monitoring.

description: Purpose: Quality of Life (QoL) is associated with a bandwidth of lifestyle factors that can be subdivided into fixed and potentially modifiable ones. We know too little about the role of potentially modifiable factors in comparison to fixed ones. This study examines four aspects of QoL and its associations with 15 factors in a sample of elderly primary care patients with a high risk of dementia. The main objectives are (a) to determine the role of the factors in this particular group and (b) to assess the proportion of fixed and potentially modifiable factors. Method: A high-risk group of 1030 primary care patients aged between 60 and 77 years (52.1% females) were enrolled in “AgeWell.de,” a cluster-randomized, controlled trial. This paper refers to the baseline data. The multi-component intervention targets to decrease the risk of dementia by optimization of associated lifestyle factors. 8 fixed and 7 modifiable factors potentially influencing QoL served as predictors in multiple linear regressions. Results: The highest proportion of explained variance was found in psychological health and age-specific QoL. In comparison to health-related QoL and physical health, the modifiable predictors played a major role (corr. R2: 0.35/0.33 vs. 0.18), suggesting that they hold a greater potential for improving QoL. Conclusion: Social engagement, body weight, instrumental activities of daily living, and self-efficacy beliefs appeared as lifestyle factors eligible to be addressed in an intervention program for improving QoL.

description: Cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has evolved into a pivotal technique for probing protein interactions. This study describes the implementation of Parallel Accumulation-Serial Fragmentation (PASEF) on timsTOF instruments, enhancing the detection and analysis of protein interactions by XL-MS. Addressing the challenges in XL-MS, such as the interpretation of complex spectra, low abundant cross-linked peptides, and a data acquisition bias, our current study integrates a peptide-centric approach for the analysis of XL-MS data and presents the foundation for integrating data-independent acquisition (DIA) in XL-MS with a vendor-neutral and open-source platform. A novel workflow is described for processing data-dependent acquisition (DDA) of PASEF-derived information. For this, software by Bruker Daltonics is used, enabling the conversion of these data into a format that is compatible with MeroX and Skyline software tools. Our approach significantly improves the identification of cross-linked products from complex mixtures, allowing the XL-MS community to overcome current analytical limitations.

description: Online communities offer their members various benefits, such as information access, social and emotional support, and entertainment. Despite the important role that founders play in shaping communities, prior research has focused primarily on what drives users to participate and contribute; the motivations and goals of founders remain underexplored. To uncover how and why online communities get started, we present findings from a survey of 951 recent founders of Reddit communities. We find that topical interest is the most common motivation for community creation, followed by motivations to exchange information, connect with others, and self-promote. Founders have heterogeneous goals for their nascent communities, but they tend to privilege community quality and engagement over sheer growth. These differences in founders' early attitudes towards their communities help predict not only the community-building actions that they pursue, but also the ability of their communities to attract visitors, contributors, and subscribers over the first 28 days. We end with a discussion of the implications for researchers, designers, and founders of online communities.

description: Background: Cancer incidence is increasing in Ethiopia mainly due to increased life expectancy, while oncological capacities remain limited. Strong referral linkages between different levels of the healthcare system are key to provide timely access to cancer care. In this qualitative study, we assessed limitations and potential of cancer patient referral in the rural Southwest of Ethiopia. Methods: We held four focus group discussions (FGD) with health professionals at one primary and three secondary hospitals and conducted eight in-depth interviews (IDI) with the hospitals´ medical executives and local health bureau representatives. Data was analysed inductively using thematic analysis and emerging themes were categorized within the revised concept of access by Penchansky and Saurman. Results: The inevitable referral of patients with cancer in the rural Southwest of Ethiopia is characterized by the absence of clear communication protocols and the lack of formal referral linkages. The newly implemented hub-system has improved emergency referrals and could be expanded to non-emergency referrals, sensitive to the needs of advanced oncological care. Liaison officers can pave the way but need to be trained and equipped adequately. Referred patients struggle with inadequate transportation systems, the lack of accommodation close to specialized facilities as well as the inability to navigate at those sites due to language barriers, illiteracy, and stigmatization. Few Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) help but cannot compensate the limited governmental support. The shortage of medications at public hospitals leads to patients being directed to costly private pharmacies. In the light of those challenges, cancer remains to be perceived as a “death sentence” within the rural communities. Conclusions: Standardized referral linkages and a multi-faceted support network throughout the cancer care continuum are necessary to make oncology care accessible to Ethiopia´s large rural population.

description: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that occurs in women of reproductive age. PCOS usually begins in adolescence, but symptoms may change over time.In recent decades, due to global urbanization and a decrease in physical activity, there has been an active increase in the number of people with overweight and obesity around the world, which makes this problem one of the most pressing for the medical community. Weight gain is associated with many associated diseases, including metabolic and cardiovascular disorders.

description: Meat and dairy production and consumption are the subject of ongoing public debates that touch on various sustainability issues such as biodiversity loss, climate change, animal welfare, and social and health aspects. Despite extensive discussions specifically relating to the environmental impacts of livestock farming in conjunction with animal welfare aspects, there have been no substantial changes in production or consumption patterns. Moreover, the focus of extant research is usually on consumers' responses to public concerns around livestock production. In this study, we shed light on the discrepancy between the normative discourse and action of relevant value chain actors with the help of Bandura's theory of moral disengagement, which allows us to identify mechanisms that contribute to the perpetuation of unsustainable production and consumption patterns. In particular, we focus on the shifting of responsibility between actors in the normatively charged field of sustainable livestock production. We collected 109 media interviews on meat and dairy production and consumption from the years 2020–2022, including interviews with actors from agriculture, processing industries, and food retail. Using qualitative content analysis, we investigated the role of moral disengagement in the media discourse on meat and dairy production and explored differences between actors in terms of moral disengagement. We found that shifting of responsibility shows a quasi-circular dynamic of being shifted from all actors to all, in our case most frequently to consumers, politics, and (diffuse) economic forces. In addition, our analysis showed the use of social justifications, beneficial comparisons, and euphemistic labelling to be common mechanisms of moral disengagement, constituting a collective problem within agri-food systems.

description: Introduction: General practitioners (GPs) are mostly the first point of contact for patients with health problems in Germany. There is only a limited epidemiological overview data that describe the GP consultation hours based on other than billing data. Therefore, the aim of Saxon Epidemiological Study in General Practice-6 (SESAM-6) is to examine the frequency of reasons for encounter, prevalence of long-term diagnosed diseases and diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in general practice. This knowledge is fundamental to identify the healthcare needs and to develop strategies to improve the GP care. The results of the study will be incorporated into the undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing medical education for GP. Methods and analysis: This cross-sectional study SESAM-6 is conducted in general practices in the state of Saxony, Germany. The study design is based on previous SESAM studies. Participating physicians are assigned to 1 week per quarter (over a survey period of 12 months) in which every fifth doctor–patient contact is recorded for one-half of the day (morning or afternoon). To facilitate valid statements, a minimum of 50 GP is required to document a total of at least 2500 doctor–patient contacts. Univariable, multivariable and subgroup analyses as well as comparisons to the previous SESAM data sets will be conducted. Ethics and dissemination: The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Technical University of Dresden in March 2023 (SR-EK-7502023). Participation in the study is voluntary and will not be remunerated. The study results will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, preferably with open access. They will also be disseminated at scientific and public symposia, congresses and conferences. A final report will be published to summarise the central results and provided to all study participants and the public.

description: Objectives: An increasing number of CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) hybrid materials have been introduced to the dental market in recent years. In addition, CAD/CAM hybrid materials for additive manufacturing (AM) are becoming more attractive in digital dentistry. Studies on material microstructures using micro-computed tomography (µ-CT) combined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have only been available to a limited extent so far. Methods: One CAD/CAM three-dimensional- (3D-) printable hybrid material (VarseoSmile Crown plus) and two CAD/CAM millable hybrid materials (Vita Enamic; Voco Grandio), as well as one direct composite material (Ceram.x duo), were included in the present study. Cylindrical samples with a diameter of 2 mm were produced from each material and investigated by means of synchrotron radiation µ-CT at a voxel size of 0.65 µm. Different samples from the same materials, obtained by cutting and polishing, were investigated by SEM. Results: The 3D-printed hybrid material showed some agglomerations and a more irregular distribution of fillers, as well as a visible layered macrostructure and a few spherical pores due to the printing process. The CAD/CAM millable hybrid materials revealed a more homogenous distribution of ceramic particles. The direct composite material showed multiple air bubbles and microstructural irregularities based on manual processing. Significance: The µ-CT and SEM analysis of the materials revealed different microstructures even though they belong to the same class of materials. It could be shown that µ-CT and SEM imaging are valuable tools to understand microstructure and related mechanical properties of materials.

description: The resistivity of two-dimensional (2D) metals generally exhibits insensitivity to electron-electron scattering. However, it's worth noting that Galilean invariance may not hold true in systems characterized by a spectrum containing multiple electronic branches or in scenarios involving electron-hole plasma. In the context of our study, we focus on 2D electrons confined within a triple quantum well (TQW) based on HgTe. This system displays a coexistence of energy bands featuring both linear and parabolic-like spectra at low energy and, therefore, lacks the Galilean invariance. This research employs a combined theoretical and experimental approach to investigate the transport properties of this two-component system across various regimes. By manipulating carrier density and temperature, we tune our system from a fully degenerate regime, where resistance follows a temperature-dependent behavior proportional to $T^2$, to a regime where both types of electrons adhere to Boltzmann statistics. In the non-degenerate regime, electron interactions lead to resistance that is weakly dependent on temperature. Notably, our experimental observations closely align with the theoretical predictions derived in this study. This work establishes the HgTe-based TQW as a promising platform for exploring different interaction dominant scenarios for the massless-massive Dirac system.9 pages, 8 figures

description: This work is devoted to the numerical solution of second kind nonlinear Volterra integral equations with highly oscillatory kernel. We use a collocation approach by discretizing the oscillatory integrals in the collocation equation using a Filon-type quadrature rule. We investigate the convergence of the numerical method in terms of step length h and frequency ω. As h decreases, the suggested technique converges with order d, while its asymptotic order as the frequency increase, is at least 1 and may reach 2 in some cases. Numerical experiments validate theoretical results.

description: Inflorescence architecture and crop productivity are often tightly coupled in our major cereal crops. However, the underlying genetic mechanisms controlling cereal inflorescence development remain poorly understood. Here, we identified recessive alleles of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) HvALOG1 (Arabidopsis thaliana LSH1 and Oryza G1) that produce non-canonical extra spikelets and fused glumes abaxially to the central spikelet from the upper-mid portion until the tip of the inflorescence. Notably, we found that HvALOG1 exhibits a boundary-specific expression pattern that specifically excludes reproductive meristems, implying the involvement of previously proposed localized signaling centers for branch regulation. Importantly, during early spikelet formation, non-cell-autonomous signals associated with HvALOG1 expression may specify spikelet meristem determinacy, while boundary formation of floret organs appears to be coordinated in a cell-autonomous manner. Moreover, barley ALOG family members synergistically modulate inflorescence morphology, with HvALOG1 predominantly governing meristem maintenance and floral organ development. We further propose that spatiotemporal redundancies of expressed HvALOG members specifically in the basal inflorescence may be accountable for proper patterning of spikelet formation in mutant plants. Our research offers new perspectives on regulatory signaling roles of ALOG transcription factors during the development of reproductive meristems in cereal inflorescences.

description: Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are a family of amphiphilic transport proteins with high diversity in terms of their amino acid sequences and binding preferences. Beyond their main biological role as cytosolic fatty acid transporters, many aspects regarding their binding mechanism and functional specializations in human cells remain unclear. In this work, the binding properties and thermodynamics of FABP3, FABP4, and FABP5 were analyzed under various physical conditions. For this purpose, the FABPs were loaded with fatty acids bearing fluorescence or spin probes as model ligands, comparing their binding affinities via microscale thermophoresis (MST) and continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance (CW EPR) spectroscopy. The CW EPR spectra of non-covalently bound 5- and 16-DOXYL stearic acid (5/16-DSA) deliver in-depth information about the dynamics and chemical environments of ligands inside the binding pockets of the FABPs. EPR spectral simulations allow the construction of binding curves, revealing two different binding states (‘intermediately’ and ‘strongly’ bound). The proportion of bound 5/16-DSA depends strongly on the FABP concentration and the temperature but with remarkable differences between the three isoforms. Additionally, the more dynamic state (‘intermediately bound’) seems to dominate at body temperature with thermodynamic preference. The ligand binding studies were supplemented by aggregation studies via dynamic light scattering and bioinformatic analyses. Beyond the remarkably fine-tuned binding properties exhibited by each FABP, which were discernible with our EPR-centered approach, the results of this work attest to the power of simple spectroscopic experiments to provide new insights into the ligand binding mechanisms of proteins in general on a molecular level.

description: Ionizable lipids are a class of pharmaceutical excipients with a main application in lipid nanoparticles for nucleic acid delivery. New ionizable lipids are needed to tune characteristics of lipid-based nucleic acid delivery systems, e.g. stability, nucleic acid loading capacity and binding strength, as well as bio-distribution. Herein, we present the synthesis of three novel ionizable lipids as putative excipients for lipid-based nucleic acid delivery systems. Langmuir monolayer experiments with classical surface pressure/area isotherm evaluation were used to understand the self-assembly behavior of the lipids. Additional experiments with surface sensitive techniques, namely grazing incidence x-ray scattering and infrared reflection–absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS), were performed to understand structural characteristics of lipid associates. The latter technique was also used to investigate the nucleic acid binding process between DNA and the ionizable lipids. Finally, first transfection experiments with the novel lipids formulated as cationic liposomes were performed providing first efficacy data. Although the alkyl chain pattern was comparable for all three ionizable lipids, the results demonstrated that with increasing head-group size the DNA binding capacity changed and the alkyl chain fluidity was increased. The lipid with the lowest phase transition temperature and the smallest packing parameter showed the highest DNA transfer efficiency.

description: Phenological shifts due to changing climate are often highly species and context specific. Land-use practices such as mowing or grazing directly affect the phenology of grassland species, but it is unclear if plants are similarly affected by climate change in differently managed grassland systems such as meadows and pastures. Functional traits have a high potential to explain phenological shifts and might help to understand species-specific and land-use-specific phenological responses to changes in climate. In the large-scale field experiment Global Change Experimental Facility (GCEF), we monitored the first flowering day, last flowering day, flowering duration, and day of peak flowering, of 17 herbaceous grassland species under ambient and future climate conditions, comparing meadows and pastures. Both climate and land use impacted the flowering phenology of plant species in species-specific ways. We did not find evidence for interacting effects of climate and land-use type on plant phenology. However, the data indicate that microclimatic and microsite conditions on meadows and pastures were differently affected by future climate, making differential effects on meadows and pastures likely. Functional traits, including the phenological niche and grassland utilization indicator values, explained species-specific phenological climate responses. Late flowering species and species with a low mowing tolerance advanced their flowering more strongly under future climate. Long flowering species and species following an acquisitive strategy (high specific leaf area, high mowing tolerance, and high forage value) advanced their flowering end more strongly and thus more strongly shortened their flowering under future climate. We associated these trait–response relationships primarily with a phenological drought escape during summer. Our results provide novel insights on how climate and land use impact the flowering phenology of grassland species and we highlight the role of functional traits in mediating phenological responses to climate.
