Dispersive nodal fermions along grain boundaries in Floquet topological crystals by Daniel J. Salib, Bitan Roy

“…Here we show that topologically robust gapless dispersive modes appear along the grain boundaries, embedded in the interior of Floquet topological crystals, when the Floquet-Bloch band inversion occurring at a finite momentum ( $$\textbf{K}^\textrm{Flq}_\textrm{inv}$$ K inv Flq ) and the Burgers vector ( $$\textbf{b}$$ b ) of the constituting array of dislocations satisfy $$\textbf{K}^\textrm{Flq}_\textrm{inv} \cdot \textbf{b}=\pi$$ K inv Flq · b = π (modulo $$2 \pi$$ 2 π ). …”

Effectiveness of Mobile Health–Based Gamification Interventions for Improving Physical Activity in Individuals With Cardiovascular Diseases: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of... by Tianzhuo Yu, Monica Parry, Tianyue Yu, Linqi Xu, Yuejin Wu, Ting Zeng, Xin Leng, Qian Tong, Feng Li

“…Meta-analysis of 5 studies revealed a small effect of gamification interventions on short-term PA (after sensitivity analysis: Hedges g=0.32, 95% CI 0.19-0.45, 95% prediction interval [PI] 0.02-0.62). Meta-analysis of 3 studies found the maintenance effect (measured with follow-up averaging 2.5 months after the end of the intervention) was small (Hedges g=0.20, 95% CI 0.12-0.29, 95% PI –0.01 to 0.41). …”

Asymptotic Periodicity of a Higher-Order Difference Equation by Stevo Stevic

“…It is proved that if all pi, i∈{1,…,k}, are even and all qj, j∈{1,…,m} are odd, every positive solution of the equation converges to (not necessarily prime) a periodic solution of period two, otherwise, every positive solution of the equation converges to a unique positive equilibrium.…”

Multiple Functions of Phosphoinositide-3 Kinase Enhancer (PIKE) by Chi Bun Chan, Keqiang Ye

“…In the past 10 years, we have characterized a novel class of GTPases called phosphoinositide-3 kinase enhancer (PIKE) that interacts with PI3K/Akt. In neurons, PIKE is involved in the protective mechanisms against neuroexcitotoxic insults by linking various receptors, such as mGluR1 and Unc5H2, to the PI3K cascade. …”

Development of regenerative braking in an electric vehicle using a neural controller with an auxiliary power system by Ahmad Alhamood Alarefe, SALAM ALI MAHMOUD, RAED ALCHAREA

“…This research presents a development of the regeneration braking system by developing a neural controller consisting of two layers and using it to drive the braking process instead of the proportional integrative (PI) controller with an auxiliary power system. The latter is stable and enables its engine to generate suitable torques at relatively high speeds, without a decrease in the speed of the vehicle from the required speed, and the improvement rate was more than 10%, where the state of battery drain when using the PI controller was about 87%, while when using the neural controller more than 97% …”
