description: The problem of injective coloring in graphs can be revisited through two different approaches: coloring the two-step graphs and vertex partitioning of graphs into open packing sets, each of which is equivalent to the injective coloring problem itself. Taking these facts into account, we observe that the injective coloring lies between graph coloring and domination theory.
 We make use of these three points of view in this paper so as to investigate the injective coloring of some well-known graph products. We bound the injective chromatic number of direct and lexicographic product graphs from below and above. In particular, we completely determine this parameter for the direct product of two cycles. We also give a closed formula for the corona product of two graphs.

description: Complementarity plays a pivotal role in understanding a diverse range of quantum phenomena. Here, we show how the tradeoff between quantities of a complete complementarity relation is modified in an arbitrary spacetime for a particle with an internal spin. This effect stems from local Wigner rotations in the spacetime, which couple the spin to the system's external degrees of freedom. To conduct our study, we utilize two generalized delayed-choice interferometers. Despite differences in complementarity tradeoffs inside the interferometers, the interferometric visibility of both setups coincides in any relativistic regime. Our results extend the finding that general relativity induces a universal decoherence effect on quantum superpositions, as local Wigner rotations, being purely kinematical, preclude any spin dynamics. To illustrate, we analyze the Newtonian limit of our results.

description: There is a growing body of literature that recognises the increasingly complex challenges faced by health social workers (HSWs) in their workplaces, due to the nature of the social work profession. To date, however, there has been limited research concerning work-related stress in the context of social work within health communities in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, this study aims to fill a gap in the existing literature in the domain of social work field by focusing on the Saudi HSWs’ experiences in the workplace. This study attempts to explore the incidence of work-related stress in public hospitals in Saudi Arabia (Makkah and Jeddah cities) from the perspective of HSWs. The specific objective is to identify those factors contributing to stress in the workplace, as well as the strategies that HSWs employ to overcome stress, and the influence of HSWs’ demographic background on work-related stress. The methodological approach taken in this study utilises Constructivist Grounded Theory Methodology (CGTM), with two phases for data collection (semi-structured interviews followed by a survey). The data obtained from HSWs suggests various factors are associated with the dominance of a conservative culture within the Saudi society, as well as other factors linked to gender. Moreover, the HSWs identified various strategies related to their spiritual beliefs and personal skills, in addition to the emotional and instrumental support as well as central supervision they receive. The findings also indicted a notable difference based on gender and length of fieldwork experience, in terms of both work-related stress factors and coping strategies. Based on these findings, a working framework for health social work practice in public hospitals in SA has been suggested in an attempt to enhance our understanding of those aspects that might contribute to work-related stress among HSWs within Saudi hospitals. It is anticipated that the outcomes presented in this research will make a specific contribution to the literature by focusing on the experience of work-related stress from HSWs’ viewpoint, increasing understanding of health and social work practices within the Saudi context.

description: A bivariate flow cluster is a group of two types of spatial flows, where both types of flows have high (or low) values or one type of flow has a high value while the other has a low value. Identifying bivariate flow clusters aids in understanding the complex interactions between different flow patterns. Detecting such clusters remains challenging because statistics for quantitatively assessing bivariate flow clusters are lacking and the shapes and sizes of clusters are usually varied. This study developed a novel bivariate flow clustering method (BiFlowAMOEBA) by improving a multidirectional optimum ecotope-based algorithm (AMOEBA) which embeds local Getis-Ord statistic in an iterative procedure to detect irregular-shaped clusters. We defined a bivariate local Getis-Ord statistic for quantitatively assessing bivariate flow clusters, used a hierarchical clustering strategy to construct clusters, and evaluated the statistical significance of clusters using a Monte Carlo simulation. Experimental results of simulated datasets established that BiFlowAMOEBA can identify bivariate flow clusters of different shapes more accurately and completely, compared with two state-of-the-art methods. Two case studies showed that BiFlowAMOEBA not only helps to unveil the interactions between public transport and taxi services, but also helps to identify competition patterns between taxis and ride-hailing services.
Discontinuous Galerkin method on reference domain

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The reference domain is chosen to formulate numerical model using discontinuous Galerkin method with finite difference (DGFD). The differential problem, which is defined on the real domain, in a weak form is transformed to the reference domain. The shape of the real domain results from the considered problem which can be complex. On the other hand the reference domain can be chosen to be convenient for meshing and calculations, e.g. cubic or square. The transformation from the reference domain into the real one has to be defined. In the paper the algorithm for such transformation is proposed, which is based on the second order differential equations. The paper is illustrated with a series of benchmark examples that show both the correctness and flexibility of the proposed algorithms. In majority of the examples the reference domain is square when the real domains are, for example, quarter of annulus, circle or full annulus.

description: We study two models of overdamped self-propelled disks in two dimensions, with and without aligning interactions. Active mesoscale flows leading to chaotic advection emerge in both models in the homogeneous dense fluid away from dynamical arrest, forming streams and vortices reminiscent of multiscale flow patterns in turbulence. We show that the characteristics of these flows do not depend on the specific details of the active fluids, and result from the competition between crowding effects and persistent propulsions. Our results suggest that dense active fluids present a type of `active turbulence' distinct from collective flows reported in other types of active systems.

description: Biological soil crusts (BSCs) composed of cyanobacteria, green algae, bryophytes, and lichens are a major biotic
component of arid and semi-arid rangeland environments worldwide. They are recognized and studied in many
parts of the world. However, they have been the subject of very few studies in Africa. The current study deals with
the assessment of the influence of BSCs on soil chemistry in an arid ecosystem in Southern Tunisia. Our main
objective is to test whether biological soil crusts are able to improve soil chemical properties. Our investigation
showed that biological soils crusts had an expressive effect on soil chemistry. In fact, biologically crusted soils had
higher levels of pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter, organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, Ca, K, Na, Cl
and lower C: N ratio compared to biologically un-crusted soils. The differences between crusted and un-crusted
soils were statistically significant at 95% confidence. The PCA results demonstrate further that BSCs significantly
enhance soil surface properties. These data support other studies revealing an improvement of the soil chemical
properties by means of biological soil crusts.

Subjects: subject: 10301 Numerical Analysis
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In the paper the efficient application of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method on polygonal meshes is presented. Three versions of DG method are under consideration in which the approximation is constructed using sets of arbitrary basis functions. It means that in the presented approach there is no need to define nodes or to construct shape functions. The shape of a polygonal finite element (FE) can be quite arbitrary. The polygonal finite (FE) element can be of quite arbitrary shape. It can have arbitrary number of edges and can be non-convex. In particular a single FE can have a polygonal hole or can even consist of two or more completely separated parts. The efficiency, flexibility and versatility of the presented approach is illustrated with a set of benchmark examples. The paper is limited to two-dimensional case. However, direct extension of the algorithms to three-dimension is possible.

description: Many studies, reviews, and meta-analyses have reported elevated mental health problems for sexual minority (SM) individuals. This systematic review provides an update by including numerous recent studies, and explores whether SM individuals are at increased risk across selected mental health problems as per dimensions of sexual orientation (SO), genders, life-stages, geographic regions, and in higher quality studies. A systematic search in PubMed produced 199 studies appropriate for review. A clear majority of studies reported elevated risks for depression, anxiety, suicide attempts or suicides, and substance-related problems for SM men and women, as adolescents or adults from many geographic regions, and with varied SO dimensions (behaviour, attraction, identity), especially in more recent and higher quality studies. One notable exception is alcohol-related problems, where many studies reported zero or reversed effects, especially for SM men. All SM subgroups were at increased risk, but bisexual individuals were at highest risk in the majority of studies. Other subgroup and gender differences are more complex and are discussed. The review supports the long-standing mental health risk proposition for SM individuals, overall and as subgroups.

description: Green tea (GT) derived epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a commonly used nutraceutical for its antioxidant activity. Caffeine is the second major component and interferes with extraction of EGCG. On-column decaffeination was optimized to enable selective enrichment of EGCG, though less retained than caffeine. EGCG recovery and loss in caffeine were determined using RP-HPLC. Results indicated a significant improvement in caffeine removal and EGCG recovery. The SPE-HPLC protocol represents a model for an efficient and economic approach for improving dynamic capacity, selectivity, and sensitivity towards less retained analytes. This is particularly important for analysis of inherently complex samples of nutraceutical products.

description: The intrinsic alignment of galaxies is an important ingredient for modelling weak-lensing measurements, and a potentially valuable cosmological and astrophysical signal. In this paper, we present HYMALAIA: a new model to predict the intrinsic alignments of biased tracers. HYMALAIA is based on a perturbative expansion of the statistics of the Lagrangian shapes of objects, which is then advected to Eulerian space using the fully non-linear displacement field obtained from $N$-body simulations. We demonstrate that HYMALAIA is capable of consistently describing monopole and quadrupole of halo shape-shape and matter-shape correlators, and that, without increasing the number of free parameters, it does so more accurately than other perturbatively inspired models such as the non-linear alignment (NLA) model and the tidal-alignment-tidal-torquing (TATT) model.

description: As a representative cyber-physical system (CPS), robotic manipulator has been widely adopted in various academic research and industrial processes, indicating its potential to act as a universal interface between the cyber and the physical worlds. Recent studies in robotics manipulation have started employing artificial intelligence (AI) approaches as controllers to achieve better adaptability and performance. However, the inherent challenge of explaining AI components introduces uncertainty and unreliability to these AI-enabled robotics systems, necessitating a reliable development platform for system design and performance assessment. As a foundational step towards building reliable AI-enabled robotics systems, we propose a public industrial benchmark for robotics manipulation in this paper. It leverages NVIDIA Omniverse Isaac Sim as the simulation platform, encompassing eight representative manipulation tasks and multiple AI software controllers. An extensive evaluation is conducted to analyze the performance of AI controllers in solving robotics manipulation tasks, enabling a thorough understanding of their effectiveness. To further demonstrate the applicability of our benchmark, we develop a falsification framework that is compatible with physical simulators and OpenAI Gym environments. This framework bridges the gap between traditional testing methods and modern physics engine-based simulations. The effectiveness of different optimization methods in falsifying AI-enabled robotics manipulation with physical simulators is examined via a falsification test. Our work not only establishes a foundation for the design and development of AI-enabled robotics systems but also provides practical experience and guidance to practitioners in this field, promoting further research in this critical academic and industrial domain.

description: We present a detailed analysis of bipartite entanglement in the non-Abelian Moore-Read fractional quantum Hall state of bosons and fermions on the torus. In particular, we show that the entanglement spectra can be decomposed into intricate combinations of different sectors of the conformal field theory describing the edge physics, and that the edge level counting and tower structure can be microscopically understood by considering the vicinity of the thin-torus limit. We also find that the boundary entropy density of the Moore- Read state is markedly higher than in the Laughlin states investigated so far. Despite the torus geometry being somewhat more involved than in the sphere geometry, our analysis and insights may prove useful when adopting entanglement probes to other systems that are more easily studied with periodic boundary conditions, such as fractional Chern insulators and lattice problems in general.

description: High-spin states play a key role in chemical reactions found in nature. In artificial molecular systems, singlet fission produces a correlated triplet-pair state, a spin-bearing excited state that can be harnessed for more efficient solar-energy conversion and photocatalysis. In particular, triplet-pair states with overall quintet character (total spin S=2) have been discovered, but many of the fundamental properties of these biexciton states remain unexplored. The net spin of these pair states makes spin-sensitive probes attractive for their characterization. Combined with their surprisingly long spin coherence (of order microseconds), this opens up techniques relying on coherent spin control. Here we apply coherent manipulation of triplet-pair states to (i) isolate their spectral signatures from coexisting free triplets and (ii) selectively couple quintet and triplet states to specific nuclear spins. Using this approach, we separate quintet and triplet transitions and extract the relaxation dynamics and hyperfine couplings of the fission-borne spin states. Our results highlight the distinct properties of correlated and free triplet excitons and demonstrate optically induced nuclear spin polarization by singlet fission.

description: Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is an alphaherpesvirus that causes Marek’s disease, a malignant lymphoproliferative disease of domestic chickens. While MDV vaccines protect animals from clinical disease, they do not provide sterilizing immunity and allow field strains to circulate and evolve in vaccinated flocks. Therefore, there is a need for improved vaccines and for a better understanding of innate and adaptive immune responses against MDV infections. Interferons (IFNs) play important roles in the innate immune defenses against viruses and induce upregulation of a cellular antiviral state. In this report, we quantified the potent antiviral effect of IFNα and IFNγ against MDV infections in vitro. Moreover, we demonstrate that both cytokines can delay Marek’s disease onset and progression in vivo. Additionally, blocking of endogenous IFNα using a specific monoclonal antibody, in turn, accelerated disease. In summary, our data reveal the effects of IFNα and IFNγ on MDV infection and improve our understanding of innate immune responses against this oncogenic virus.

description: Dam construction comes with severe social, economic and ecological impacts. From an ecological point of view, habitat types are altered and biodiversity is lost. Thus, to identify areas that deserve major attention for conservation, existing and planned locations for (hydropower) dams were overlapped, at global extent, with the contemporary distribution of freshwater megafauna species with consideration of their respective threat status. Hydropower development will disproportionately impact areas of high freshwater megafauna richness in South America, South and East Asia, and the Balkan region. Sub-catchments with a high share of threatened species are considered to be most vulnerable; these are located in Central America, Southeast Asia and in the regions of the Black and Caspian Sea. Based on this approach, planned dam locations are classified according to their potential impact on freshwater megafauna species at different spatial scales, attention to potential conflicts between climate mitigation and biodiversity conservation are highlighted, and priorities for freshwater management are recommended.

description: Over the past years, herbarium collections worldwide have started to digitize millions of specimens on an industrial scale. Although the imaging costs are steadily falling, capturing the accompanying label information is still predominantly done manually and develops into the principal cost factor. In order to streamline the process of capturing herbarium specimen metadata, we specified a formal extensible workflow integrating a wide range of automated specimen image analysis services. We implemented the workflow on the basis of OpenRefine together with a plugin for handling service calls and responses. The evolving system presently covers the generation of optical character recognition (OCR) from specimen images, the identification of regions of interest in images and the extraction of meaningful information items from OCR. These implementations were developed as part of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft-funded a standardised and optimised process for data acquisition from digital images of herbarium specimens (StanDAP-Herb) Project.

description: Highly hydrophilic, responsive nanogels are attractive as potential systems for the topical delivery of bioactives encapsulated in their three-dimensional polymeric scaffold. Yet, these drug carrier systems suffer from drawbacks for efficient delivery of hydrophobic drugs. Addressing this, β-cyclodextrin (βCD) could be successfully introduced into the drug carrier systems by exploiting its unique affinity toward dexamethasone (DXM) as well as its role as topical penetration enhancer. The properties of βCD could be combined with those of thermoresponsive nanogels (tNGs) based on dendritic polyglycerol (dPG) as a crosslinker and linear thermoresponsive polyglycerol (tPG) inducing responsiveness to temperature changes. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies localized the drug within the hydrophobic cavity of βCD by differences in its mobility and environmental polarity. In fact, the fabricated carriers combining a particulate delivery system with a conventional penetration enhancer, resulted in an efficient delivery of DXM to the epidermis and the dermis of human skin ex vivo (enhancement compared to commercial DXM cream: ∼2.5 fold in epidermis, ∼30 fold in dermis). Furthermore, DXM encapsulated in βCD tNGs applied to skin equivalents downregulated the expression of proinflammatory thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and outperformed a commercially available DXM cream.

description: Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is an oncogenic alphaherpesvirus that infects chickens and poses a serious threat to poultry health. In infected animals, MDV efficiently replicates in B cells in various lymphoid organs. Despite many years of research, the viral transcriptome in primary target cells of MDV remained unknown. In this study, we uncovered the transcriptional landscape of the very virulent RB1B strain and the attenuated CVI988/Rispens vaccine strain in primary chicken B cells using high-throughput RNA-sequencing. Our data confirmed the expression of known genes, but also identified a novel spliced MDV gene in the unique short region of the genome. Furthermore, de novo transcriptome assembly revealed extensive splicing of viral genes resulting in coding and non-coding RNA transcripts. A novel splicing isoform of MDV UL15 could also be confirmed by mass spectrometry and RT-PCR. In addition, we could demonstrate that the associated transcriptional motifs are highly conserved and closely resembled those of the host transcriptional machinery. Taken together, our data allow a comprehensive re-annotation of the MDV genome with novel genes and splice variants that could be targeted in further research on MDV replication and tumorigenesis.

description: A recent study by Sugiura and coworkers reported the non‐symbiotic growth and spore production of an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, Rhizophagus irregularis, when the fungus received an external supply of certain fatty acids, myristates (C:14). This discovery follows the insight that AM fungi receive fatty acids from their hosts when in symbiosis. If this result holds up and can be repeated under nonsterile conditions and with a broader range of fungi, it has numerous consequences for our understanding of AM fungal ecology, from the level of the fungus, at the plant community level, and to functional consequences in ecosystems. In addition, myristate may open up several avenues from a more applied perspective, including improved fungal culture and supplementation of AM fungi or inoculum in the field. We here map these potential opportunities, and additionally offer thoughts on potential risks of this potentially new technology. Lastly, we discuss the specific research challenges that need to be overcome to come to an understanding of the potential role of myristate in AM ecology.

Διαταραχή αυτιστικού φάσματος

description: Οι μαθητές που ανήκουν στη Διαταραχή Αυτιστικού Φάσματος (ΔΑΦ) αντιμετω-πίζουν συνήθως συμπεριφορικά ή κοινωνικά προβλήματα. Οι δυσκολίες είναι πρόδηλες τόσο σε εκπαιδευτικό, όσο και σε κοινωνικό επίπεδο, για να προσαρμοστούν τα παιδιά με ΔΑΦ στην καθημερινότητα της κοινωνίας. Ακόμη, προβλήματα υπάρχουν στην επικοινωνία, την φαντασία, την προσοχή σε λεπτομέρειες και την εναλλαγή προσοχής. Οι υπεύθυνοι για την εκπαίδευση των παιδιών με ΔΑΦ - εκπαιδευτικοί, θεραπευτές, γονείς - οφείλουν να σχεδιάσουν και να εφαρμόσουν ένα πρόγραμμα παρέμβασης, το οποίο έχει σχεδιαστεί σύμφωνα με τις δυνατότητες και τις ανάγκες του προφίλ του εκάστοτε μαθητή με ΔΑΦ. Η Ειδική Εκπαιδευτική Αγωγή χρησιμοποιεί ποικίλες μεθόδους για την εκμάθηση γνωστικών, κοινωνικών ή συναισθηματικών δεξιοτήτων των μαθητών. Η χρήση των κοινωνικών ιστο-ριών είναι μία από τις πιο δημοφιλείς μεθόδους στην εκπαίδευση παιδιών με ΔΑΦ, διότι δίνουν τη δυνατότητα στους μαθητές να αναπτύξουν δεξιότητες, όπως κοινωνικές, συμπε-ριφορικές, γνωστικές ή συναισθηματικές. Έτσι, θεωρείται αναγκαία μία εκτενή ανασκόπηση για την επίδραση και την αποτελεσματικότητα των κοινωνικών ιστοριών όταν εφαρμόζο-νται σε μαθητές με ΔΑΦ.

description: We study the recent outburst of the black hole candidate EXO 1846-031 which went into an outburst in 2019 after almost 34 years in quiescence. We use archival data from Swift/XRT, MAXI/GSC, NICER/XTI and NuSTAR/FPM satellites/instruments to study the evolution of the spectral and temporal properties of the source during the outburst. Low energy (2-10 keV) X-ray flux of the outburst shows multiple peaks making it a multipeak outburst. Evolving type-C quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are observed in the NICER data in the hard, hard intermediate and soft intermediate states. We use the physical Two Component Advective Flow (TCAF) model to analyze the combined spectra of multiple satellite instruments. According to the TCAF model, the accreting matter is divided into Keplerian and sub-Keplerian parts, and the variation in the observed spectra in different spectral states arises out of the variable contributions of these two types of accreting matter in the total accretion rate. Studying the evolution of the accretion rates and other properties of the accretion flow obtained from the spectral analysis, we show how the multiple peaks in the outburst flux arises out of variable supply of accreting matter from the pile-up radius. We determine the probable mass of the black hole to be $10.4^{+0.1}_{-0.2}~M_\odot$ from the spectral analysis with the TCAF model. We also estimate viscous time scale of the source in this outburst to be $\sim 8$ days from the peak difference of the Keplerian and sub-Keplerian mass accretion rates.

description: ABSTRACTAdsorption characteristics of nickel on Bacillus cereus M116 biomass have been studied under varied environmental conditions to explore the potentiality of the biomass for controlling water pollution due to nickel. The optimized parameters for adsorption process are as follows, pH: 7.0, temperature: 40°C, biomass dosage: 2 g L–1. The process is best fitted to Redlich–Peterson isotherm model and follows pseudo-second order rate model. The combination of zeta potential measurement, SEM – EDXA, XRD, XPS, FTIR, TGA and DSC studies allow a more comprehensive characterization of biomass to understand the mechanisms involved in nickel (II) adsorption in aqueous system.

description: From organic electronics to biological systems, understanding the role of intermolecular interactions between spin pairs is a key challenge. Here we show how such pairs can be selectively addressed with combined spin and optical sensitivity. We demonstrate this for bound pairs of spin-triplet excitations formed by singlet fission, with direct applicability across a wide range of synthetic and biological systems. We show that the site sensitivity of exchange coupling allows distinct triplet pairs to be resonantly addressed at different magnetic fields, tuning them between optically bright singlet (S=0) and dark triplet quintet (S=1,2) configurations: This induces narrow holes in a broad optical emission spectrum, uncovering exchange-specific luminescence. Using fields up to 60 T, we identify three distinct triplet-pair sites, with exchange couplings varying over an order of magnitude (0.3–5 meV), each with its own luminescence spectrum, coexisting in a single material. Our results reveal how site selectivity can be achieved for organic spin pairs in a broad range of systems.
