description: This work investigates the ecological and biological traits of two Littorinidae species (Echinolittorina punctata and Melarhaphe neritoides) along the Northern and Northeastern rocky coasts of Tunisia. Field observations conducted at 10 stations during spring 2017 revealed the cohabitation of these species. E. punctata was mainly found on the rocky coastal surfaces while M. neritoides seems to prefer to hide in rock crevices as a protective strategy against extreme low tide conditions. Both species showed female-biased sex ratio with densities changing significantly according to the stations. Concerning the relative growth, the shell length in both species was strongly correlated to the shell width and the operculum dimensions (negative allometry), except for samples of M. neritoides collected from Bizerte Grottes and El Haouaria. Factorial Discriminant Analysis separated the specimens of each species into three groups. The estimation of successful classification rates suggested some heterogeneities between the populations. The morphometric analysis showed segregation between the species suggesting that the morphological variations are determined by their selective strategies against desiccation during high temperature periods. These results suggest two adaptive strategies of these species in close relation with the morphological variability of their shell and their distribution regarding an equitable sharing of the morphology of supra-littoral rock.

description: Based on our previous work for solving the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with multichannel dynamics that is given by a localized standing wave and radiation, in this work we deal with the multichannel solution which consists of a moving soliton and radiation. We apply the modulation theory to give a system of ODEs coupled to the radiation term for describing the solution, which is valid for all times. The modulation equations are solved accurately by the proposed numerical method. The soliton and radiation are captured separately in the computation, and they are solved on the translated domain that is moving with them. Thus for a fixed finite physical domain in the lab frame, the multichannel solution can pass through the boundary naturally, which can not be done by imposing any existing boundary conditions. We comment on the differences of this method from the collective coordinates.

description: Children with a cleft of the upper lip exhibit obvious facial disfigurement. Many require multiple lip surgeries for an optimal esthetic result. However, because the decision for lip revision is based on subjective clinical criteria, clinicians may disagree on whether these surgeries should be performed. To establish more reliable, functionally relevant outcome criteria for evaluation and treatment planning, a clinical trial currently is in progress. In this article, the design of the clinical trial is described and results of a study on subjective evaluations of facial form by surgeons for or against the need for lip revision surgery are presented.

description: Proteins are dynamic and can change conformation over time. We introduce a knowledge-based metric to describe conformational regions for the protein backbone at the residue level, including a means to quantify how often an amino acid residue moves between these regions. This metric provides complementary characterization of the protein in addition to other protein dynamics metrics, such as Random Coil Index. To calculate this metric (Conformational Variability), we performed Molecular Dynamics simulations of 100 proteins with diverse levels of disorder, for which each amino acid was assigned to one of five secondary structure categories for every sample time in the simulation. Then, the Conformational Variability was determined from how often changes in this secondary structure category occurred, calculated with the Frobenius matrix norm. We then trained an estimator to predict Conformational Variability from amino acid sequence only. This estimator consists of a Long Short-Term Memory neural network which predicts Conformational Variability in multitask with synergetic problems: secondary structure propensity and ShiftCrypt index. We trained on 118 sequences for the main task and secondary structure propensities and on 4500 sequences for the ShiftCrypt index. We performed a 5-fold cross-validation, which indicated a Pearson’s correlation for the main task at approximately 0.7 and its corresponding p-value near 0. We present this estimator under the name ConforMine, a predictor of protein Conformational Variability from amino acid sequence. This tool will be incorporated in our tool suite “b2bTools”, available in PyPI, Anaconda and Bioconda under the same name.

description: The ampithoid amphipod crustacean Pleonexes gammaroides Spence Bate, 1857 is reported from Morocco (northeastern Atlantic Ocean) for the first time, where it is the only representative of the genus Pleonexes Spence Bate, 1857 so far. Specimens were collected from the upper fringe of the infralittoral zone (including low intertidal) of El Jadida coastline associated with the holdfasts of the kelp Saccorhiza polyschides (Lightfoot) Batters (Phaeophyceae), colonising the sublittoral fringe in the southernmost distribution limit (Morocco). This finding updates the known geographical distribution of P. gammaroides in northern Africa and northeastern Atlantic. Some ecological and distributional details of this amphipod species are briefly discussed here.

description: We present a novel method to detect variable astrophysical objects and transient phenomena using anomalous excess scatter in repeated measurements from public catalogs of Gaia DR2 and Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) DR3 photometry. We first provide a generalized, all-sky proxy for variability using only Gaia DR2 photometry, calibrated to white dwarf stars. To ensure more robust candidate detection, we further employ a method combining Gaia with ZTF photometry and alerts. To demonstrate the efficacy, we apply this latter technique to a sample of roughly $12,100$ white dwarfs within 200 pc centered on the ZZ Ceti instability strip, where hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarfs are known to pulsate. Through inspecting the top $1\%$ samples ranked by these methods, we demonstrate that both the Gaia-only and ZTF-informed techniques are highly effective at identifying known and new variable white dwarfs, which we verify using follow-up, high-speed photometry. We confirm variability in all 33 out of 33 ($100\%$) observed white dwarfs within our top $1\%$ highest-ranked candidates, both inside and outside the ZZ Ceti instability strip. In addition to dozens of new pulsating white dwarfs, we also identify five white dwarfs highly likely to show transiting planetary debris; if confirmed, these systems would more than triple the number of white dwarfs known to host transiting debris.

description: We report the discovery of a new group of double-periodic RR Lyrae stars from the analysis of the OGLE-IV Galactic bulge photometry. In 11 stars identified in the OGLE catalog as first overtone pulsators (RRc stars) we detect additional longer period variability of low amplitude, in the mmag regime. One additional star of the same type is identified in a published analysis of the Kepler space photometry. The period ratio between the shorter first overtone period and a new, longer period lies in a narrow range around 0.686. Thus, the additional period is longer than the expected period of the undetected radial fundamental mode. The obvious conclusion that addition periodicity corresponds to a gravity or a mixed mode faces difficulties, however.

description: A strontium-doped lanthanum cobaltite perovskite material was prepared, and used as a recyclable and effective heterogeneous catalyst for the direct oxidative coupling of alkenes with aromatic aldehydes to produce α,β-unsaturated ketones. The reaction afforded high yields in the presence of di-tert-butylperoxide as oxidant. Single oxides or salts of strontium, lanthanum and cobalt, and the undoped perovskite offered a lower catalytic activity than the strontium-doped perovskite. Benzaldehyde could be replaced by benzyl alcohol, dibenzyl etther, 2-oxo-2-phenylacetaldehyde, 2-bromoacetophenone or (dimethoxymethyl)benzene in the oxidative coupling reaction with alkenes. To our best knowledge, reactions between these starting materials with alkenes are new and unknown in the literature.
First study on the reproductive biology of the clam Polititapes aureus in southern Tunisian waters (Central Mediterranean)
Creators: name: DERBALI, Abdelkarim
Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 2022

description: The clam Polititapes aureus is among the most abundant shellfish species in Tunisia. It is widely distributed along the Tunisian coasts. Despite its economic value, the target species is still unexploited and there are no research works focusing on its biology. The present work is the first study examining its reproductive biology during one-year in Tunisian waters. All samples showed a balanced sex ratio; males dominated smaller individuals, while females predominated larger size classes. The obtained total sex ratio (F:M) was equal to 1:1.02. It was also found that males matured at a shell length (SL) ranging from 13 to 22 mm, against 14 and 24 mm SL for female. On the other hand, the size at which 50% of males and females became mature was 18.07 and 20.20 mm SL, respectively. The seasonal variations evaluated using macro- and microscopic characteristics in the gonads of the two sexes showed that this species displayed a clearly defined annual reproductive cycle with two peaks during summer and autumn. Besides, gametogenic activity in males and females was clearly activated by the increase in the seawater temperature in spring and summer. P. aureus exhibited a short resting phase that occurred simultaneously in both sexes during January.
Association of the lesser spider crab Maja crispata Risso, 1827 and the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819 in the Sea of Marmara, Turkey

description: Except for the external colonization of crab shells, the reports of mussels living on internal organs of crabs are very limited. In this study, Mediterranean mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819 are reported for the first time in the gills of the lesser spider crab Maja crispata Risso, 1827 collected in the southern coasts of the Sea of Marmara. Samples were captured by SCUBA diving at depths ranging from 0 to 30 m during August 2020 to May 2021. The overall prevalence of mussels was 4.33%, and the association does not seem to affect the host. There was no significant difference in size, weight, growth, and condition between infested and noninfested crabs. The mussels did not cause any deformity or lesion in the crab gills. We hypothesize that the association between crabs and mussels depends on their habitat, and the crab's filtering, respiratory and feeding behaviors. We observed several small-size mussels on the crab gill, and our results underline this association as a good example of commensalism.

description: We construct a mathematical theory of Witten's Gauged Linear Sigma Model (GLSM). Our theory applies to a wide range of examples, including many cases with non-Abelian gauge group. Both the Gromov-Witten theory of a Calabi-Yau complete intersection X and the Landau-Ginzburg dual (FJRW-theory) of X can be expressed as gauged linear sigma models. Furthermore, the Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence can be interpreted as a variation of the moment map or a deformation of GIT in the GLSM. This paper focuses primarily on the algebraic theory, while a companion article will treat the analytic theory.

description: A matrix is called totally negative (totally non-positive) of order $k$, if all its minors of size at most $k$ are negative (non-positive). The objective of this article is to provide several novel characterizations of total negativity via the (a) sign non-reversal property, (b) variation diminishing property, and (c) Linear Complementarity Problem. More strongly, each of these three characterizations uses a single test vector. As an application of the sign non-reversal property, we study the interval hull of two rectangular matrices. In particular, we identify two matrices $C^\pm(A,B)$ in the interval hull of matrices $A$ and $B$ that test total negativity of order $k$, simultaneously for the entire interval hull. We also show analogous characterizations for totally non-positive matrices. These novel characterizations may be considered similar in spirit to fundamental results characterizing totally positive matrices by Brown--Johnstone--MacGibbon [J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 1981] (see also Gantmacher--Krein, 1950), Choudhury--Kannan--Khare [Bull. London Math. Soc., 2021] and Choudhury [Bull. London Math. Soc., 2022]. Finally using a 1950 result of Gantmacher--Krein, we show that totally negative/non-positive matrices can not be detected by (single) test vectors from orthants other than the open bi-orthant that have coordinates with alternating signs, via the sign non-reversal property or the variation diminishing property.

description: Coxischyrocerus inexpectatus is recorded for the first time in the French Atlantic coast. The species was sampled from May 2018 to April 2019, associated to the hydrozoan Amphisbetia operculata at the opening of Arcachon Bay. Coxischyrocerus inexpectatus occurred in relatively small populations, with a relatively low relative abundance (about 1% of the peracarid community). Among the different peracarids species collected, we also note the presence of Stenothoe tergestina, representing its second record for the Bay of Biscay since 1993.

description: Many cultural traits are not transmitted independently, but together as a package. This can happen because, for example, media may store information together making it more likely to be transmitted together, or through cognitive mechanisms such as causal reasoning. Evolutionary biology suggests that physical linkage of genes (being on the same chromosome) allows neutral and maladaptive genes to spread by hitchhiking on adaptive genes, while the pairwise difference between neutral genes is unaffected. Whether packaging may lead to similar dynamics in cultural evolution is unclear. To understand the effect of cultural packages on cultural evolutionary dynamics, we built an agent-based simulation that allows links to form and break between cultural traits. During transmission, one trait and others that are directly or indirectly connected to it are transmitted together in a package. We compare variation in cultural traits between different rates of link formation and breakage and find that an intermediate frequency of links can lower cultural diversity, which can be misinterpreted as a signature of payoff bias or conformity. Further, cultural hitchhiking can occur when links are common.

description: It has been shown that the family of Poncelet N-gons in the confocal pair (elliptic billiard) conserves the sum of cosines of its internal angles. Curiously, this quantity is equal to the sum of cosines conserved by its affine image where the caustic is a circle. We show that furthermore, (i) when N=3, the cosine triples of both families sweep the same planar curve: an equilateral cubic resembling a plectrum (guitar pick). We also show that (ii) the family of triangles excentral to the confocal family conserves the same product of cosines as the one conserved by its affine image inscribed in a circle; and that (iii) cosine triples of both families sweep the same spherical curve. When the triple of log-cosines is considered, this curve becomes a planar, plectrum-shaped curve, rounder than the one swept by its parent confocal family.

description: This paper exploits the multiresolution analysis in the fault analysis on transmission lines. Faults were simulated using the ATP (Alternative Transient Program), considering signals at 128/cycle. A nonorthogonal multiresolution analysis was provided by Gegenbauer scaling and wavelet filters. In the cases where the signal reconstruction is not required, orthogonality may be immaterial. Gegenbauer filter banks are thereby offered in this paper as a tool for analyzing fault signals on transmission lines. Results are compared to those ones derived from a 4-coefficient Daubechies filter. The main advantages in favor of Gegenbauer filters are their smaller computational effort and their constant group delay, as they are symmetric filters.

description: Neutrinos play a crucial role in the collapse and explosion of massive stars, governing the infall dynamics of the stellar core, triggering and fueling the explosion and driving the cooling and deleptonization of the newly formed neutron star. Due to their role neutrinos carry information from the heart of the explosion and, due to their weakly interacting nature, offer the only direct probe of the dynamics and thermodynamics at the center of a supernova. In this paper, we review the present status of modelling the neutrino physics and signal formation in collapsing and exploding stars. We assess the capability of current and planned large underground neutrino detectors to yield faithful information of the time and flavor dependent neutrino signal from a future Galactic supernova. We show how the observable neutrino burst would provide a benchmark for fundamental supernova physics with unprecedented richness of detail. Exploiting the treasure of the measured neutrino events requires a careful discrimination of source-generated properties from signal features that originate on the way to the detector. As for the latter, we discuss self-induced flavor conversions associated with neutrino-neutrino interactions that occur in the deepest stellar regions; matter effects that modify the pattern of flavor conversions in the dynamical stellar envelope; neutrino-oscillation signatures that result from structural features associated with the shock-wave propagation as well as turbulent mass motions in post-shock layers. Finally, we highlight our current understanding of the formation of the diffuse supernova neutrino background and we analyse the perspectives for a detection of this relic signal that integrates the contributions from all past core-collapse supernovae in the Universe.

description: The feasibility studies of the measurement of the central exclusive jet production at the LHC using the proton tagging technique are presented. In order to reach the low jet-mass region, single tagged events were considered. The studies were performed at the c.m. energy of 14 TeV and the ATLAS detector, but are also applicable for the CMS-TOTEM experiments. Four data-taking scenarios were considered: AFP and ALFA detectors as forward proton taggers and $β^*$ = 0.55 m and $β^*$ = 90 m optics. After the event selection, the signal-to-background ratio ranges between 5 and $10^4$. Finally, the expected precision of the central exclusive dijet cross-section measurement for data collection period of 100 h is estimated.

description: In human-level NLP tasks, such as predicting mental health, personality, or demographics, the number of observations is often smaller than the standard 768+ hidden state sizes of each layer within modern transformer-based language models, limiting the ability to effectively leverage transformers. Here, we provide a systematic study on the role of dimension reduction methods (principal components analysis, factorization techniques, or multi-layer auto-encoders) as well as the dimensionality of embedding vectors and sample sizes as a function of predictive performance. We first find that fine-tuning large models with a limited amount of data pose a significant difficulty which can be overcome with a pre-trained dimension reduction regime. RoBERTa consistently achieves top performance in human-level tasks, with PCA giving benefit over other reduction methods in better handling users that write longer texts. Finally, we observe that a majority of the tasks achieve results comparable to the best performance with just $\frac{1}{12}$ of the embedding dimensions.

description: Many proteins carry out their biological functions by forming the characteristic tertiary structures. Therefore, the search of the stable states of proteins by molecular simulations is important to understand their functions and stabilities. However, getting the stable state by conformational search is difficult, because the energy landscape of the system is characterized by many local minima separated by high energy barriers. In order to overcome this difficulty, various sampling and optimization methods for conformations of proteins have been proposed. In this study, we propose a new conformational search method for proteins by using genetic crossover and Metropolis criterion. We applied this method to an $α$-helical protein. The conformations obtained from the simulations are in good agreement with the experimental results.

description: Tuber borchii is a precious truffle, which forms ectomycorrhizal associations with several coniferous and broadleaf trees, arbutoid mycorrhizas with the strawberry tree and recently it was found also to form orchid mycorrhizas with Epipactis atrorubens. In this work, we investigated the formation of T. borchii mycorrhizas in other orchid species (Anacamptis morio, Cephalanthera longifolia, Limodorum abortivum, Ophrys sphegodes, Orchis purpurea). To this aim the orchids growing in three T. borchii production areas located in Emilia Romagna region (Italy) were collected and the presence of T. borchii mycorrhizas was investigated by morphological and molecular approaches. For T. borchii molecular identification, specific primers were used by a nested PCR approach. Tuber borchii was identified in 2 out of 6 samples of A. morio, 3 out of 4 samples of C. longifolia, and 2 out 6 samples of O. sphegodes. The ecological and biological roles of the orchid association in the truffle life cycle are discussed.

description: The first evidence of anomalous Josephson effect is reported in mesoscopic superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS) junctions forming a crosslike Andreev Interferometer in the absence of magnetic and spin-orbit interactions normally required to break time-reversal and inversion symmetries. From conductance measurements of the out-of-equilibrium weak link, we determine a voltage-controlled spontaneous phase that resembles a $φ_0$-junction. The temperature and voltage dependences together with a dissipative term in the current-phase relation strongly suggest that the mechanism underlying the observed phenomenon relies on electron-hole asymmetries.

description: Water disturbance can be developed to a certain degree from nature, but human activities increase the level of disturbance through pollution of aquatic habitats. Fish species are directly and indirectly harmfully disturbed by water pollution. Like other living species in the aquatic system, fish are confronted with various sources of different pollutants such as pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and heavy metals in their habitats. Otolith mass asymmetry may reflect some growth disarrays of fish caused by environmental pressure. Especially high-level otolith mass asymmetry can adversely affect fish life, so the determination of the asymmetry is very vital for species management. The aim of the present study is to calculate the otolith mass asymmetry of Engraulis australis recovered from the food of a piscivorous bird Gannet inhabiting islands in the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand. The mean asymmetry value computed was found to be 0.0107 (within -0.25483 and + 0.41220) in the samples of E. australis (n = 55, 19.5-23.0 cm TL). The otolith mass asymmetry and absolute otolith mass asymmetry of this species is not related to the total length.

description: We examined the mineralogical, chemical and isotopic compositions of secondary fluid inclusions in olivine-rich rocks from two active serpentinization systems: the Von Damm hydrothermal field (Mid-Cayman Rise) and the Zambales ophiolite (Philippines). Peridotite, troctolite and gabbroic rocks in these systems contain abundant CH4-rich secondary inclusions in olivine, with less abundant inclusions in plagioclase and clinopyroxene. Olivine-hosted secondary inclusions are chiefly composed of CH4 and minor H2, in addition to secondary minerals including serpentine, brucite, magnetite and carbonates. Secondary inclusions in plagioclase are dominated by CH4 with variable amounts of H2 and H2O, while those in clinopyroxene contain only CH4. We determined hydrocarbon abundances and stable carbon isotope compositions by crushing whole rocks and analysing the released volatiles using isotope ratio monitoring—gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Bulk rock gas analyses yielded appreciable quantities of CH4 and C2H6 in samples from Cayman (4–313 nmol g−1 CH4 and 0.02–0.99 nmol g−1 C2H6), with lesser amounts in samples from Zambales (2–37 nmol g−1 CH4 and 0.004–0.082 nmol g−1 C2H6). Mafic and ultramafic rocks at Cayman exhibit δ13CCH4 values of −16.7‰ to −4.4‰ and δ13CC2H6 values of −20.3‰ to +0.7‰. Ultramafic rocks from Zambales exhibit δ13CCH4 values of −12.4‰ to −2.8‰ and δ13CC2H6 values of −1.2‰ to −0.9‰. Similarities in the carbon isotopic compositions of CH4 and C2H6 in plutonic rocks, Von Damm hydrothermal fluids, and Zambales gas seeps suggest that leaching of fluid inclusions may provide a significant contribution of abiotic hydrocarbons to deep-sea vent fluids and ophiolite-hosted gas seeps. Isotopic compositions of CH4 and C2H6 from a variety of hydrothermal fields hosted in olivine-rich rocks that are similar to those in Von Damm vent fluids further support the idea that a significant portion of abiotic hydrocarbons in ultramafic-influenced vent fluids is derived from fluid inclusions.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Serpentinite in the Earth system’.
Quantum steering as a resource for secure tripartite Quantum State Sharing

description: Quantum State Sharing (QSS) is a protocol by which a (secret) quantum state may be securely split, shared between multiple potentially dishonest players, and reconstructed. Crucially the players are each assumed to be dishonest, and so QSS requires that only a collaborating authorised subset of players can access the original secret state; any dishonest unauthorised conspiracy cannot reconstruct it. We analyse a QSS protocol involving three untrusted players and demonstrate that quantum steering is the required resource which enables the protocol to proceed securely. We analyse the level of steering required to share any single-mode Gaussian secret which enables the states to be shared with the optimal use of resources.

description: The first records of the non-native tanaidid Sinelobus vanhaareni Bamber, 2014 from Britain are presented here. The species was discovered in wall-fouling communities during environmental surveys at two locations in the tidal River Thames. Based on the distance between the sampling locations, the time elapsed between records, the presence of ovigerous females, and the abundance recorded, the species appears well established in wall-fouling communities in the surveyed part of the Thames Estuary.

description: We continue the study of collisionless systems governed by additive $r^{-α}$ interparticle forces by focusing on the influence of the force exponent $α$ on radial orbital anisotropy. In this preparatory work we construct the radially anisotropic Osipkov-Merritt phase-space distribution functions for self-consistent spherical Hernquist models with $r^{-α}$ forces and $1\leqα<3$. The resulting systems are isotropic at the center and increasingly dominated by radial orbits at radii larger than the anisotropy radius $r_a$. For radially anisotropic models we determine the minimum value of the anisotropy radius $r_{ac}$ as a function of $α$ for phase-space consistency (such that the phase-space distribution function is nowhere negative for $r_a\geq r_{ac}$). We find that $r_{ac}$ decreases for decreasing $α$, and that the amount of kinetic energy that can be stored in the radial direction relative to that stored in the tangential directions for marginally consistent models increases for decreasing $α$. In particular, we find that isotropic systems are consistent in the explored range of $α$. By means of direct $N$-body simulations we finally verify that the isotropic systems are also stable.
