Gut microbiome diversity as adjuvant marker for immune function by Mahdaleny, Febriana Catur Iswanti

“…The GI tract responsible for extracting the appropriate nutrients we need to thrive, maintaining an appropriate balance of helpful and harmful microbes, and acting as a conduit for waste removal. In essence, the extracellular matrix of gut mucosal biofilm is a complex network of microbes and their secretions, as well as the host's secretions and signals (mainly mucus/mucin). …”

Beyond representation? A material-ecocritical reading of Derek Mahon’s “eco-poetry” by Catherine CONAN

“…The appellation suggests that ecopoetry is endowed with actual effectiveness in the material world by acting upon its readers’ minds. I offer a critical analysis of such claims in the specific case of Mahon’s poetry by gathering environmental emergency, poems and readers on the same ontological plane as objects. …”

The 𝐶-Version Segal-Bargmann Transform for Finite Coxeter Groups Defined by the Restriction Principle by Stephen Bruce Sontz

“…We apply a special case, the restriction principle (for which we give a definition simpler than the usual one), of a basic result in functional analysis (the polar decomposition of an operator) in order to define 𝐶𝜇,𝑡, the 𝐶-version of the Segal-Bargmann transform, associated with a finite Coxeter group acting in ℝ𝑁 and a given value 𝑡>0 of Planck's constant, where 𝜇 is a multiplicity function on the roots defining the Coxeter group. …”

The Systematic Theory on Geomorphology with Emphasis on Glacial Areas (Case Study, Oshtorankuh region) by Ebrahim Moghimi, Mohamad Fathollahzadeh

“…System is a set of interconnected components that are systematically interconnected, influenced by one another, interacting with one another, acting as a whole, and being purposeful. A systematic approach is a perspective that allows us to identify the forces and variables that have a significant impact on the environment outside and within a complex and to understand their function and position in the complex. …”

Poets and Puppets: Interarts Collaboration in Alfred Kreymborg’s Lima Beans by Yasna Bozhkova

“…First, the article examines how the play creates a distancing effect towards the deliberately mundane story of a married couple, using incongruous elements like the proto-absurdist nonsense of the dialogues, the abstract, Futurist sets, and the groundbreaking acting techniques inspired by puppet theater. Second, it specifically focuses on the blurring of the boundaries between the different arts—drama, poetry, and dance among others—in this play, whose dialogues were conceived as free verse. …”

Study of structural stability of a concrete gravity dam using a reliability approach� by Mohamed Essaddik Kerkar, Mustapha Kamel Mihoubi

“…Dam safety is a priority at the international level, it requires a large amount of data that allows analysts to make optimization on its structural stability, the latter is based on the estimation of the probability of failure from the effects of stress and resistance acting on the dam-reservoir system. This investigation is to establish a methodology in order to optimize the safety of a concrete gravity dam in operation by carrying out a risk analysis which includes the identification of the sources of danger in terms of scenarios that can occur due to a failure on the dam-reservoir system on an implication of natural hazards (floods, earthquakes) and technical accidents such as malfunction of a spillway gate, drain valve, drainage system or important silting. …”

On a Stochastic Approach to Extensions of the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) Model Applied to Malaria by Abdoul Karim Drabo, Frédéric Bere, S. P. Clovis Nitiema

“…Through these simulations, we first determined the invariant stationary distribution π∗ of the model, and then, we found that the use of the indoor residual spraying (IRS) method by regular application of insecticides is more effective for the elimination of malaria than the use of long-acting impregnated mosquito nets (LLINs).…”
