The Euler characteristic i.e., the difference between the number of vertices |V| and edges |E| is the most important topological characteristic of a graph. However, to describe spectral properties of differential equations with mixed Dirichlet and Neumann vertex conditions it is necessary to introduce a new spectral invariant, the generalized Euler characteristic [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text] denoting the number of Dirichlet vertices. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that the generalized Euler characteristic [Formula: see text] of quantum graphs and microwave networks can be determined from small sets of lowest eigenfrequencies. If the topology of the graph is known, the generalized Euler characteristic [Formula: see text] can be used to determine the number of Dirichlet vertices. That makes the generalized Euler characteristic [Formula: see text] a new powerful tool for studying of physical systems modeled by differential equations on metric graphs including isoscattering and neural networks where both Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions occur.

We report on a class of gapped projected entangled pair states (PEPS) with non-trivial Euler topology motivated by recent progress in band geometry. In the non-interacting limit, these systems have optimal conditions relating to saturation of quantum geometrical bounds, allowing for parent Hamiltonians whose lowest bands are completely flat and which have the PEPS as unique ground states. Protected by crystalline symmetries, these states evade restrictions on capturing tenfold-way topological features with gapped PEPS.

Impact of Convulsive Maternal Seizures on Fetus Dynamics.

Int J Numer Method Biomed Eng

The study findings demonstrate that the amniotic fluid plays an important role in protecting the fetus during convulsive maternal seizures. The amniotic fluid was found to be an effective buffer, significantly reducing the transfer of kinetic energy to the fetus during these events. This highlights the sufficient protection provided by the amniotic fluid in such circumstances.

Whole-genome resequencing to investigate the genetic diversity and mechanisms of plateau adaptation in Tibetan sheep.

J Anim Sci Biotechnol

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Adaptation and Evolution of Plateau Biota, Qinghai Provincial Key Laboratory of Animal Ecological Genomics, Northwest Institute of Plateau Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xining, Qinghai, 810008, China.

Introduction: Tibetan sheep, economically important animals on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, have diversified into numerous local breeds with unique characteristics through prolonged environmental adaptation and selective breeding. However, most current research focuses on one or two breeds, and lacks a comprehensive representation of the genetic diversity across multiple Tibetan sheep breeds. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the genetic structure, diversity and high-altitude adaptation of 6 Tibetan sheep breeds using whole-genome resequencing data.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), or nodal T-follicular helper cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic type, is a rare and aggressive type of T-cell lymphoma characterized by a spectrum of clinical and histopathological features that can present diagnostic challenges. Derived from T-follicular helper cells, the genesis of AITL is thought to be a multistep process involving mutations in epigenetic regulatory genes such as TET2 and DNMT3A, followed by driver mutations in RHOA and IDH2 which promote clonal expansion as well as a characteristic inflammatory milieu. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of AITL, including its clinical presentation, epidemiology, pathogenesis, histomorphology and treatment options.
