Large-time correlation functions in bosonic lattice field theories

Large-time correlation functions have a pivotal role in extracting particle masses from Euclidean lattice field theory calculations, however little is known about the statistical properties of these quantities. In this work, the asymptotic form of the distributions of the correlation functions at vanishing momentum is determined for bosonic interacting lattice field theories with a unique gapped vacuum. It is demonstrated that the deviations from the asymptotic form at large Euclidean times can be utilized to determine the spectrum of the theory.

Skewness and kurtosis of mean transverse momentum fluctuations at the LHC energies

The first measurements of skewness and kurtosis of mean transverse momentum ($\langle$$p_T\rangle$) fluctuations are reported in Pb–Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV, Xe–Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.44 TeV and pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector. The measurements are carried out as a function of system size $\langle$dN ch /dη$\rangle$$^{1/3}_{|η|<0.5}$, using charged particles with transverse momentum ($p_T$) and pseudorapidity (η), in the range 0.2<$p_T$<3.0 GeV/c and |η|<0.8, respectively. In Pb–Pb and Xe–Xe collisions, positive skewness is observed in the fluctuations of $\langle$$p_T\rangle$ for all centralities, which is significantly larger than what would be expected in the scenario of independent particle emission. This positive skewness is considered a crucial consequence of the hydrodynamic evolution of the hot and dense nuclear matter created in heavy-ion collisions. Furthermore, similar observations of positive skewness for minimum bias pp collisions are also reported here. Kurtosis of $\langle$$p_T\rangle$ fluctuations is found to be in good agreement with the kurtosis of Gaussian distribution, for most central Pb–Pb collisions. Hydrodynamic model calculations with MUSIC using Monte Carlo Glauber initial conditions are able to explain the measurements of both skewness and kurtosis qualitatively from semicentral to central collisions in Pb–Pb system. Color reconnection mechanism in PYTHIA8 model seems to play a pivotal role in capturing the qualitative behavior of the same measurements in pp collisions.

Advances in relaxation and memory effects of magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications

Functionalized magnetic nanoparticles are pivotal in magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, controlled drug delivery, and hyperthermia treatments due to their exceptional magnetic relaxation and functional properties. The magnetic core composition and structure significantly affects the complex magnetic properties of these nanoparticles necessitating a thorough examination of magnetism fundamentals related to these systems. One important aspect is the ability of magnetic nanoparticles to retain previous magnetic state configurations known as memory effect, primarily governed by domain structure and magnetic anisotropy. Despite its relevance to advanced applications, comprehensive studies on magnetic relaxation and memory effects remain limited. Here, the present review aims to bridge this gap by investigating relaxation mechanisms, synthesis strategies, and applications, fostering further innovation. It investigates the memory effects and their dependence on particle composition and morphology along with key synthesis techniques for large-scale production in industrial adoption. Structured into focused sections on magnetic properties and their influence on biomedical and technological applications, this review provides essential insights into memory effects, magneto-relaxation mechanisms, influencing factors, and both experimental and theoretical methodologies. It also delves into computational modelling and AI-driven design, which are revolutionizing the prediction, discovery, and optimization of materials with tailored properties.

Modeling simultaneous particle shrinkage, dissolution and breakage using the modified moving grid technique

Simultaneous shrinkage, dissolution and breakage are important particle size reduction phenomena that characterize processes like the reactive degradation of solid chemicals. The dynamics of the particle size distribution (PSD) for such processes are non-trivial to model due to the number expending processes brought about by the eventual dissolution of particles. To this end, Population Balance Model (PBM) resolved through the sectional techniques is the natural approach. Here, we introduce a modified Moving Grid technique (m-MGT) to accurately resolve the particle size reduction phenomena. Our technique mimics the perpetual particle shrinkage through a continuously left-moving size grid and incorporates a strategic grid removal routine to capture the disappearance of particles. Coupled with the Fixed Pivot (FP) discretization for breakage, our m-MGT not only preserves the moment-related properties, but also benchmarked very well against the analytical number densities and exhibited a minimum of first-order convergence in all assessed case studies.

Magnetic field driven emergent phenomena: Insights from magneto-optics and nanoscopy

This review explores magnetic field-driven emergent phenomena across various material systems, emphasizing the pivotal roles of magneto-optical and nanoscopy techniques. We examine fundamental aspects of Landau electrodynamics in both 2D and 3D systems, including quantum Hall and topological magnetoelectric effects in graphene and topological insulators. Particularly attention is given to magnetic excitations and magnetopolaritons, such as surface magnon polaritons, magnetoplasmons, and magnetoexcitons in novel quantum materials, including quantum magnets and hybrid heterostructures. Advanced imaging techniques, such as scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) and microwave impedance microscopy, are showcased for their capability to resolve these phenomena with microscopic and nanoscopic resolution. These insights are complemented by discussions of advanced experimental approaches, including cryogenic environments, ultrafast pump-probe techniques, and the integration of magnetic fields into near-field optical methodologies. We further investigate the potential of these imaging techniques for unraveling complex magnetic orders, quantum phases, and correlated electronic behaviors. Finally, we offer perspectives on future research directions and highlight emerging opportunities in the evolving field of optical magneto-nanoscopy.

The role of collisional energy transfer in the thermal and prompt dissociation of 1-methyl allyl

Collisional energy transfer plays a pivotal role in a-priori calculations of the pressure-dependent rate constants obtained from a master equation. However, accurate determinations of collisional energy transfer parameters are rare and so most kinetic studies rely on best-fits of these parameters to experimental measurements (if available) or estimates guided from literature studies. In this work, we have quantified the effect of the uncertainty in energy transfer parameters on the thermal and prompt dissociation kinetics of a resonance stabilized radical, 1-methyl allyl (1MA), of relevance to the combustion of 1- and 2-butene isomers. Simulations using literature kinetics models were performed to assess the impact of these uncertainties on flame propagation and speciation data in laminar flames of 1- and 2-butene. Analyses of the uncertainty propagated by the energy transfer parameters for 1MA dissociation to the flame simulations, in particular the laminar flame speed, indicate an intricate coupling between the kinetics of 1MA dissociation (chain propagation) and its reaction with H-atoms (chain-termination). Ab-initio based theoretical calculations were also performed to obtain pressure-dependent kinetics for the reaction of 1MA with H-atoms. Lastly, theoretically calculated energy transfer parameters were used to best characterize the kinetics and branching between the chain propagating 1MA dissociation and the chain-terminating reaction 1MA + H.

Filling the cellulosic bio-economy gap by utilizing a wedge approach combined with stakeholder collaboration

The price gap between the market and breakeven prices of cellulosic biomass for farmers represents a significant barrier to the development of a low-carbon cellulosic bioeconomy. Using a bottom-up, agent-based modeling tool that replicates the behaviors and interactions of key stakeholders, this study analyzes the emergence of a cellulosic bioeconomy at the local scale through a wedge approach that examines an integrated portfolio of multiple policy options, including subsidies for small-scale bioproducts and environmental credits. Here, the role of collaboration among multiple stakeholders, such as biomass producers (farmers), bio-refinery industry, government, and society, is assessed for filling the price gap. Using the Sangamon River Basin as a case study site, we evaluate the effectiveness of the wedge approach by comparing simulation results from multiple scenarios, each incorporating different combinations of bioeconomy wedges, with and without stakeholder collaboration. Results underscore that active collaboration among stakeholders acts as a catalyst enlarging the effectiveness of bioeconomy wedges. Including the carbon credits and environmental value in the policy portfolio is found to bridge the price gap through collective contributions from diverse stakeholders, where the cellulosic biofuel and bioproduct industry plays a pivotal role. Although this study is conducted at the local watershed scale, the methodology and findings offer valuable insights for market development in other watersheds and the potential scaling of local markets to regional and national levels.

Empirical validation of building energy simulation model input parameter for multizone commercial building during the cooling season

This paper presents a critical advancement in Building Energy Modeling (BEM) through an empirical validation approach using a high-quality dataset from a multizone commercial office building in Oak Ridge, TN, USA. BEM is widely utilized in diverse construction applications, but its effectiveness relies on the accuracy of its predictions. The study focuses on empirical validation of input parameters in BEM, including building envelope data, infiltration modeling, and rooftop unit system performance curves. The validation of simulation input parameters leads to substantial improvements in the accuracy of simulation results. Notable both NMBE and cv (RMSE) values are reduced by 0.5 % for indoor air temperature and 17 % for indoor air relative humidity compared to the previous model. At the system level, both NMBE and cv (RMSE) values are reduced by 2 % for fan energy consumption and 4 % for cooling energy consumption, compared to the previous model. A literature review highlights a significant gap in empirical validation studies, which predominantly concentrate on either component-level or whole building validation. Furthermore, many studies employ simplified setups that may not faithfully represent the complexities of multizone commercial buildings. This paper distinguishes itself by emphasizing the critical importance of component-level input parameter validation. It underlines the need to validate data related to building envelope components and HVAC system performance curves, resulting in more accurate simulation outcomes. In conclusion, the utilization of actual multizone commercial building data enhances the study's practical relevance. In summary, this research underscores the pivotal role of input parameter validation in enhancing the accuracy and reliability of BEM.

Spectroscopic investigation of the electronic and excited state properties of para-substituted tetraphenyl porphyrins and their electrochemically generated ions

Porphyrins play pivotal roles in many crucial biological processes including photosynthesis. However, there is still a knowledge gap in understanding electronic and excited state implications associated with functionalization of the porphyrin ring system. These effects can have electrochemical and spectroscopic signatures that reveal the complex nature of these somewhat minor substitutions, beyond simple inductive or electronic effect correlations. To obtain a deeper insight into the influences of porphyrin functionalization, four free-base, meso-substituted porphyrins: tetraphenyl porphyrin (TPP), tetra(4-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (THPP), tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP), and tetra(4-nitrophenyl) porphyrin (TNPP), were synthesized, characterized, and investigated. The influence of various substituents, (-hydroxy,-carboxy, and -nitro) in the para position of the meso-substituted phenyl moieties were evaluated by spectroelectrochemical techniques (absorption and fluorescence), femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). Spectral features were evaluated for the neutral porphyrins and differences observed among the various porphyrins were further explained using rendered frontier molecular orbitals pertaining to the relevant transitions. Electrochemically generated anionic and cationic porphyrin species indicate similar absorbance spectroscopic signatures attributed to a red-shift in the Soret band. Emissive behavior reveals the emergence of one new fluorescence decay pathway for the ionic porphyrin, distinct from the neutral macrocycle. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy analysis provided further analysis of the implications on the excited-state as a function of the para substituent of the free-base meso-substituted tetraphenyl porphyrins. Herein, we provide an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the electronic and excited state effects associated with systematically varying the induced dipole at the methine bridge of the free-base porphyrin macrocycle and the spectroscopic signatures related to the neutral, anionic, and cationic species of these porphyrins.

Enzymatically hydrolyzed fluorescence-based chemical probe enables in situ mapping of chitinase activity in the rhizosphere

Rhizosphere microbiomes and root exudates play a pivotal biochemical role in helping to catalyze chitin catabolism. Chitin is a recalcitrant and ubiquitous soil biopolymer, estimated to be the second most abundant organic soil biopolymer on Earth. Despite its abundance, role as a source of C and N in soil, and importance to ecosystem function, the biochemical mechanisms controlling chitin fate in the rhizosphere are elusive and poorly understood. To enable spatial mapping of chitinase activity in the rhizosphere, we designed and synthesized an enzymatically activated fluorogenic substrate, chitotriose-TokyoGreen (chitotriose-TG), by incorporating a fluorescein derivative (TG) onto the trimeric unit of chitin. This non-fluorescent substrate is selectively hydrolyzed by chitinase to release TG and yield a high fluorescence signal, which can be used to spatially image and measure chitinase activity in the rhizosphere. To demonstrate the application of this technique, we grew switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) in rhizoboxes amended with a horizontal layer of chitin. We extracted mobile proteins from the rhizobox using a nitrocellulose membrane blotting technique which offer non-destructive enzyme extraction while preserving the 2D spatial position of the enzymes. We then subjected these membranes to the synthesized chitotriose-TG stain to spatially visualize the distribution of chitinase activity within the rhizosphere. Furthermore, we observed increased chitinase activity near plant roots and higher activity within the soil zone enriched in chitin, showing an adaptive response of chitinase activity with spatial focusing in areas of higher chitin abundance. Thus, the enzyme extraction and visualization strategy we describe here can help enlighten efforts to better understand spatial controls on chitin breakdown in rhizosphere, further elucidating the role of chitin as a C and N source in these systems.

Exploring viral particle, soil, and extraction buffer physicochemical characteristics and their impacts on extractable viral communities

Viruses are expected to be pivotal members of soil ecosystems, and recent advances in viral size fraction metagenomic (viromic) approaches have improved our ability to interrogate soil viral ecology. However, viromics relies on extraction buffers to effectively desorb viral particles from the soil matrix for downstream analysis, and viral extraction efficiency could be affected by the interplay between viral particles, soils, and extraction buffer chemistry. Here, we investigated whether extraction buffer chemistry affected extractable viral community composition measured by viromics from different soil types, for both biological (samples collected 1 m apart) and technical (subsamples from the same soil homogenate) replicates. We investigated pH manipulation of protein-supplemented phosphate-buffered saline buffer (PPBS, pHs 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, and 7.5) on forest, grassland and wetland soils that exhibited different soil edaphic properties, and we tested different buffer chemistries (PPBS, Carbonated Buffer, Glycine, and Saline Magnesium) on just the wetland soil. Spatial distance (i.e., biological replicate) was the primary driver of extractable viral community composition across all buffers and soils tested. Differences in viral community composition according to extraction buffer properties were only observed in the grassland technical replicates at PPBS buffer pH 4.5, and in both the wetland technical and biological replicates treated with different buffer chemistries, but the effects of buffer chemistry were secondary to spatial distance in the biological replicates. The lack of buffering capacity in the grassland soil technical replicates likely increased sorption of viral particles at pH 4.5, but neither protein composition nor isoelectric point explained this phenomenon. In conclusion, given that most soil viral ecological studies to date include sample collection over distances much farther apart than the 1-m distances considered here, results suggest that extraction buffer chemistry is likely of much lower importance than ecological considerations, such as spatial distance, in the design of future soil viral ecological investigations.

On the hydrogenation of Poly-Si passivating contacts by Al 2 O 3 and SiN x thin films

Doped polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si), when coupled with a thin SiO 2 interlayer, is of large interest for crystalline silicon ( c -Si) solar cells due to its outstanding passivating contact properties. To reach high levels of surface passivation, it is pivotal to hydrogenate the poly-Si and the underlying c -Si/SiO 2 interface. This can be done by capping the poly-Si with a hydrogen-containing dielectric layer such as Al 2 O 3 or SiN x , followed by a thermal anneal. On the basis of recent research, this work addresses several aspects of such hydrogenation by dielectric materials, including the effect of the annealing ambient, the thermal stability and reversibility of hydrogenation, the poly-Si doping level and c -Si surface texture. Additionally, the implementation of hydrogenation of poly-Si by dielectric materials in solar cells is discussed.

Strategies to mitigate urban heat: Effects on overheating and cloud formation

This study evaluates the effectiveness of various urban heat island (UHI) overheating mitigation strategies and their associated impacts on urban cloud dynamics and thermal processes. This study shows cloud-resolving and urban-resolving modeling results estimating the impact of Houston-Galveston heat mitigation scenarios and other resilient strategies contemplated in the Climate Adaptation Plan and Resilient Houston reports. The simulated scenarios include high intensity green rooftops, rooftop photovoltaic solar panels, enhanced urban irrigation, white/cool roofs and roads, and street trees. We contrast the adaptation scenarios against a present baseline case, a no city scenario and a larger and denser city as projected by the Houston-Galveston Area Council for 2045. During the daytime, cooling strategies such as cool roofs, cool roads, and green roofs exhibit superior performance in mitigating urban overheating. At night, enhanced urban irrigation emerges as the most effective cooling intervention. Cooling strategies significantly reduce sensible heat flux partitioning during the day, a process that reduces the uplift of air, suppressing the formation of urban shallow cumulus clouds. The extent of urban cloud mixing ratio is reduced in proportion to the decrease in sensible heating. Under the BEP-Tree scenario, which includes wind effects and evapotranspiration driven by a stomatal conductance model, urban trees demonstrated negligible environmental cooling effects and minimal urban cloud modifications. In contrast, the scenarios with more urban cooling and higher latent heat fluxes led to suppressed urban clouds. The net cooling effect achieved by the heat mitigation strategies is influenced by a combination of indirect processes, including the reduction of downwelling longwave radiation flux, due to reduced cloud presence, while some warming is attributed to a modest increase in shortwave radiation that offsets the cooling benefit. Additionally, reduced heat dissipation, weakened thermal gradients, and diminished vertical mixing over urban areas further moderate the cooling potential. These findings highlight the pivotal role of clouds and moist atmospheric processes in shaping the UHI effect and offer insights for designing more effective urban cooling strategies.

MPK6-mediated phosphorylation destabilizes MYC2 and attenuates its transcriptional activity in jasmonate signaling

Given the role of MYC2 as a pivotal regulator in the jasmonate (JA) signaling pathway, influencing the expression of a multitude of downstream genes (Zander et al., 2020), understanding the regulatory dynamics of MYC2 is essential for unraveling plant responses to stress conditions and hormonal signals. Previous studies on the regulation of MYC2 by MPK6 have reported conflicting findings. Takahashi et al. (2007) reported that MPK6 acts as a negative regulator of MYC2, whereas Sethi et al. (2014) proposed a positive regulatory role. Despite these findings, the precise genetic and biochemical mechanisms underlying the MPK6–MYC2 interaction remain poorly understood, highlighting the need for further investigation.

NMIIA promotes tumorigenesis and prevents chemosensitivity in colorectal cancer by activating AMPK/mTOR pathway

Non-muscle myosin IIA (NMIIA) has been reported to be involved in the carcinogenesis and malignant progression of various human tumors. However, the role and potential mechanism of NMIIA in the biological functions and apoptosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain elusive. In this study, we found that NMIIA was overexpressed in CRC tissues and significantly associated with poor survival in CRC patients. In addition, NMIIA promoted CRC cell proliferation and invasion via activating the AMPK/mTOR pathway in vitro, and NMIIA knockdown inhibited CRC growth in vivo. Meanwhile, NMIIA knockdown downregulated the CSCs markers (CD44 and CD133) expression in CRC cells. Furthermore, AMPK/mTOR pathway activation effectively reversed the NMIIA knockdown-induced inhibition of proliferation, invasion and stemness in CRC cells. Finally, NMIIA protects CRC cells from 5-FU-induced apoptosis and proliferation inhibition through the AMPK/mTOR pathway. Taken together, these results indicate that NMIIA plays a pivotal role in CRC growth and progression by regulating AMPK/mTOR pathway activation, and it may act as a novel therapeutic target prognostic factor in CRC.

Maternal undernutrition modulates hepatic MicroRNAs expression in the early life of offspring

Emerging studies revealed that a poor intrauterine environment elicited by maternal nutrient restriction (MNR) is associated with an increased risk of metabolic diseases in adulthood. Previous research has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) exert pivotal roles in modulating molecular pathways involved in disease pathogenesis and progression. In this respect, we herein examined miRNA profiles in samples of liver from offspring whose mothers were fed either with a 50% food-restricted diet or standard laboratory chow during pregnancy. Our findings enumerated that miR-181a, involved in lipid metabolism, was found to be downregulated in the liver of MNR offspring at 1 day of age when compared to that of control offspring. We also noted that overexpression of miR-181a reduced the lipid droplets after treatment with oleic acid for 48 h, which suppressed the expressions levels of SIRT1, FOXO1, KLF6 and PPARγ in BRL-3A cells, while the opposite results were observed with decreased expression of miR-181a. Furthermore, the luciferase reporter assay confirmed the direct interactions between miR-181a with KLF6 and SIRT1. In adults, the MNR offspring elucidated increased TG content, decreased expression of miR-181a, and increased expressions levels of SIRT1, FOXO1, KLF6, and PPARγ in liver tissues. Collectively, these findings provided novel evidence that MNR could regulate miRNAs expression, which might be related to lipid metabolism in MNR offspring.

Myeloid NEMO deficiency promotes tumor immunosuppression partly via MCP1-CCR2 axis

Highlights: • Myeloid-specific deletion of NEMO promotes the tumor growth. • Loss of NEMO in myeloid cells increases the recruitment of M2 macrophages and MDSCs. • NEMO Deficiency Enhances CCR2 Expression in myeloid cells. • CCR2-MCP1 Blockade Protects against the Effects of NEMO Deficiency. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM), which are found in the tumor microenvironment of solid tumors, not only mediate cancer immune evasion but also promote tumor growth. The transcription factor NF-κB, which is a crucial link between inflammation and tumors, can accelerate tumor occurrence and development. NEMO, the regulatory subunit of the IKK complex, plays a pivotal role in activating the NF-κB signaling pathway. However, the function of myeloid NEMO in the tumor microenvironment remains unclear. Here, we found that conditional knockout of NEMO in myeloid cells promoted tumor growth in a transplanted cancer mouse model. In Nemo{sup fl/fl} lyz-cre{sup +/-} mice, the deletion of Nemo in myeloid cells increased the recruitment of M2 macrophages and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) into the tumor, reduced the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, and upregulated the expression of the chemokine receptor CCR2, thereby promoting tumor growth in vivo. Then, we showed that blocking the MCP1-CCR2 pathway could inhibit tumor growth, especially in mice with myeloid NEMO deletion. In this study, we examined the mechanism of NEMO in myeloid cells and explored the role of NEMO in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
