Tipping in Stuart-Landau oscillators induced by higher-order repulsive interactions.

Tipping phenomena in complex systems represent abrupt transitions in the system behavior due to incremental changes in parameters. Here, we report the emergence of an abrupt transition from an oscillatory to a death state in coupled limit cycle oscillators with higher-order repulsive interactions. This transition contrasts with the typical continuous transitions observed with pairwise repulsive links.

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) milk and dairy-derived pathogens from Anand, Gujarat, India.

This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns and genomic characteristics of Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, and Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from dairy products, including buttermilk, curd, ice cream, and sweets, in the Anand region of Gujarat, India. A total of 205 isolates were analysed, with the highest contamination levels found in buttermilk and curd. The bacterial isolates were identified using biochemical tests and advanced Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry.

Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Gene Patterns Associated with Multi Drug Resistant Avian Pathogenic (APEC) Isolated from Broiler Chickens in India.

Unlabelled: In the present study, a total of 102 samples were collected from chickens of different flocks, died due to suspected colibacillosis. Bacteriological and PCR methods were applied to detect avian pathogenic (APEC). Phenotypic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was determined by disk diffusion method.

Genetic evolution of Newcastle Disease Virus sub-genotype VII.2 isolates, diagnosed from vaccinated poultry farms of Gujarat, India.

Newcastle disease was suspected in 37 commercial poultry farms, including 12 layer and 25 broiler farms in four districts of Gujarat, India. Vaccination had been done in 32 (20 broilers and 12 layers) farms. Tissue samples from each farm were pooled as one sample.

Chimeric states induced by higher-order interactions in coupled prey-predator systems.

Higher-order interactions have been instrumental in characterizing the intricate complex dynamics in a diverse range of large-scale complex systems. Our study investigates the effect of attractive and repulsive higher-order interactions in globally and non-locally coupled prey-predator Rosenzweig-MacArthur systems. Such interactions lead to the emergence of complex spatiotemporal chimeric states, which are otherwise unobserved in the model system with only pairwise interactions.
