Recently, a zero Hall conductance plateau with random domains was experimentally observed in the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect. We study the effects of random domains on the zero Hall plateau in QAH insulators. We find that the structure inversion symmetry determines the scaling property of the zero Hall plateau transition in the QAH systems. In the presence of structure inversion symmetry, the zero Hall plateau state shows a quantum-Hall-type critical point, originating from the two decoupled subsystems with opposite Chern numbers. However, the absence of structure inversion symmetry leads to a mixture between these two subsystems, gives rise to a line of critical points, and dramatically changes the scaling behavior. Hereinto, we predict a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless-type transition during the Hall conductance plateau switching in the QAH insulators. Our results are instructive for both theoretic understanding of the zero Hall plateau transition and future transport experiments in the QAH insulators.

Introduction: Missouri's Medication First ("MedFirst") approach promotes same-day and long-term low-threshold access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Since 2017, Missouri's SAMHSA-funded State Targeted and State Opioid Response (STR/SOR) grants have supported MedFirst services (both medical and psychosocial) for uninsured individuals with opioid use disorder at state-contracted treatment programs. Though MedFirst demonstrated early success, results - with attention to possible racial disparities - must be revisited after five years of implementation.

Article Synopsis
- * This connection indicates that the PHE is stable across various conditions, unaffected by specific system details such as the Fermi energy, especially because magnetic Weyl points break time-reversal symmetry and have energy tilt.
- * The research utilizes semiclassical Boltzmann theory to show that the PHE conductivity is related to the Chern number and energy tilt, predicting new quantized PHE plateaus, while also highlighting the rich interplay between topology and magnetism in this context.
Double Quantum Spin Hall Phase in Moiré WSe.

Quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators are topologically protected phases of matter in two dimensions that can support a pair of helical edge states surrounding an insulating bulk. A higher (even) number of helical edge state pairs is usually not possible in real materials because spin mixing would gap out the edge states. Here, we report experimental evidence for a QSH phase with one and two pairs of helical edge states in twisted bilayer WSe at Moiré hole filling factor ν = 2 and 4, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- The study reports the observation of bulk quantum Hall effect (QHE) in large TaP crystals, which is a significant advancement compared to previous findings in smaller 2D systems.
- This phenomenon is characterized by simultaneous quantum plateaus in both transverse and vertical resistivity, indicating coherent electron transport.
- The observed bulk QHE occurs due to the interaction of Landau cyclotron movement in a magnetic field and the periodic structure of nanometer-scale lamellae, suggesting that engineering microstructures can enhance electron transport in bulk materials.
Remote detection of water stress in cotton using a center pivot irrigation system-mounted sensor package.

Article Synopsis
- Research explores using infrared temperature (IRT) methods and the Water Deficit Index (WDI) for detecting water stress in cotton crops, highlighting low adoption of IRT due to logistical issues.
- A field study incorporating modern IRT, NDVI sensors, and a weather station was conducted over two years across different irrigation treatments to assess the accuracy of WDI for water stress detection.
- Results showed the system effectively distinguished water stress levels, though WDI tended to overestimate stress under high irrigation rates; improved accuracy may be possible by measuring canopy coverage from the same angle as the sensors.
