Restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) growth models are studied on two different decagonal quasicrystal lattices, namely the Penrose tiling lattice and the random tiling lattice. There exist two types of growth blocks-fat and skinny tiles-which may have different sticking probabilities. We found that the RSOS growths on both lattices belong to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class when they have the same sticking probabilities in spite of the lack of periodicity in the substrates. However, when they have tile-type dependent sticking probabilities, the RSOS models on two lattices may produce different scaling behaviors. Growth on Penrose tiling shows that the roughness exponent is around 0.4 while that on random tiling is around 0.49. Our observation may provide an effective way to investigate the bulk structures of decagonal quasicrystals.

In the current cybersecurity landscape, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have become a prevalent form of cybercrime. These attacks are relatively easy to execute but can cause significant disruption and damage to targeted systems and networks. Generally, attackers perform it to make reprisal but sometimes this issue can be authentic also.

Background: Behavioral mechanisms underlying avian deterrence by lasers in sweet corn are not known, and we evaluated them in a rigorous aviary experiment. Eighteen flocks of European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) foraged on sweet corn for several days in control and laser treated plots with ripe sweet corn while data were collected on where birds were distributed and how long birds foraged on corn. In 16 trials, fresh ears were presented on wooden sticks, and in two trials birds foraged on natural corn grown from seed.

Background: Needle stick injury (NSI) is one of the most common and severe occupational hazards for healthcare workers (HCWs), leading to both physical harm and psychological distress and ultimately affecting patient safety. Previous studies on NSI were predominantly focused on general clinical practice, and limited research has targeted specifical NSI occurring in acupuncture practice in China, which has the greatest use of acupuncture.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate NSI and associated factors among acupuncture practitioners in China.
Graphical Dirichlet Process for Clustering Non-Exchangeable Grouped Data.

We consider the problem of clustering grouped data with possibly non-exchangeable groups whose dependencies can be characterized by a known directed acyclic graph. To allow the sharing of clusters among the non-exchangeable groups, we propose a Bayesian nonparametric approach, termed graphical Dirichlet process, that jointly models the dependent group-specific random measures by assuming each random measure to be distributed as a Dirichlet process whose concentration parameter and base probability measure depend on those of its parent groups. The resulting joint stochastic process respects the Markov property of the directed acyclic graph that links the groups.

Introduction: For people living with diabetes, effective glucose monitoring is a key component in diabetes care, helping to reduce disease burden, complications, and healthcare utilization. Sensor-based glucose monitoring systems, which can provide more comprehensive information about glucose levels than capillary-based self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), are becoming established among people living with diabetes. The objective of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of glucose monitoring with FreeStyle Libre systems, compared with SMBG, from the perspective of a Canadian private payer.
