We numerically calculate the conductivity sigma of an undoped graphene sheet (size L) in the limit of a vanishingly small lattice constant. We demonstrate one-parameter scaling for random impurity scattering and determine the scaling function beta(sigma)=dlnsigma/dlnL. Contrary to a recent prediction, the scaling flow has no fixed point (beta>0) for conductivities up to and beyond the symplectic metal-insulator transition. Instead, the data support an alternative scaling flow for which the conductivity at the Dirac point increases logarithmically with sample size in the absence of intervalley scattering--without reaching a scale-invariant limit.

The current research presents a mathematical model to study the flow of a non-Newtonian magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) Casson-Carreau nanofluid (CCNF) over a stretching porous surface, considering mass and heat transport rates with Stefan blowing, non-linear thermal radiation, heat source-sink, chemical reaction, thermophoretic and Brownian motions, convective heating, Joule heating, motile microorganisms, and bio-convection. The presence of microorganisms is utilized to control the suspension of nanomaterials within the nanofluid. The current flow model has been rendered by the boundary layer approximation and we get the highly nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs).

Purpose: To compare an optical coherence tomography (OCT) real-world reference database (RW-RDB) of "healthy" eyes obtained from optometry practices to a commercial reference database (RDB).
Methods: OCT scans from 6804 individuals 18 years and older were sampled from a larger database tested at 10 optometry practices involved in refractive and screening services. Employing a reading center method, OCT scans from both eyes of 4932 (4.

Designing and optimizing the structure of urban transportation networks is a challenging task. In this study, we propose a method inspired by optimal transport theory and the principle of economy of scale that uses little information in input to generate structures that are similar to those of public transportation networks. Contrarily to standard approaches, it does not assume any initial backbone network infrastructure but rather extracts this directly from a continuous space using only a few origin and destination points, generating networks from scratch.

Aim: Few psychosis screening instruments have been tested for use in Africa, yet appropriate tools can increase the detection of self-reported psychotic symptoms, improve the detection of psychosis and impact its prognosis.
Method: The construct validity and factor structure of Psychosis Screening Questionnaire (PSQ) were tested with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and item response theory (IRT) in a sample of 1928 Ethiopian adults without any history of psychosis. We tested a unidimensional model with and without an item on mania.
