In a recent work [A. Deger et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 160601 (2022).PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.129.160601] we have shown that kinetic constraints can completely arrest many-body chaos in the dynamics of a classical, deterministic, translationally invariant spin system with the strength of the constraint driving a dynamical phase transition. Using extensive numerical simulations and scaling analyses we demonstrate here that this constraint-induced phase transition lies in the directed percolation universality class in both one and two spatial dimensions.

Effect of grain shape elongation in direction and perpendicular to current stream (conductive or insulator) on the electrical characteristics of mixtures.
Sci Rep
January 2025
National Research Centre, Geophysical Sciences Department, Geophysical Exploration Lab., Dokki, Cairo, Egypt.
Article Synopsis
- The shape and arrangement of grains in mixtures affect the electrical properties, with elongated grains impacting conductivity based on their alignment with electric current.
- When conductor grains are aligned with the current stream, they enhance conductivity and lower the critical percolation threshold, while insulator elongation in this direction shows minimal impact on thresholds.
- This study introduces a simulation model (EMT) that explores how variations in dielectric constant and conductivity relate to grain elongation in mixed materials, highlighting the significance of alignment direction.
Geophysical and geochemical characterization of Odogbo Dumpsite, Ijebu Ijesa, Southwestern Nigeria.
Environ Monit Assess

Department of Chemistry, Vaal University of Technology, Vanderbijlpark, South Africa.
Due to incessant contamination of the groundwater system near the dumpsite in southwestern Nigeria Basement Complex, this study seeks to evaluate the impact of the Odogbo dumpsite on the local groundwater system by integrating geophysical and geochemical methodologies. Aeromagnetic data covering the study area was acquired, processed, and enhanced to delineate basement features that could potentially be passing plumes to the groundwater system. Concurrently, geoelectric methods using 2-D dipole-dipole imaging and vertical electrical sounding (VES) were utilized to characterize the vulnerability indices of the lithologies underlying the dumpsite.

Article Synopsis
- 3D scaffolds provide a more natural environment for cell studies, but synthetic hydrogels often have limited pore sizes that restrict cell movement.
- A new method using liquid-liquid phase separation creates macroporous hydrogels with adjustable pore sizes by controlling polymerization conditions like light intensity and hydrogel composition.
- These macroporous gels, suitable for cell encapsulation, enhance cell spreading and migration, mimicking natural extracellular matrix (ECM) environments.
Study of AC Conductivity and Relaxation Times Depending on Moisture Content in Nanocomposites of Insulation Pressboard-Innovative Bio-Oil-Water Nanodroplets.
Materials (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Electrical Devices and High Voltage Technology, Lublin University of Technology, 38a, Nadbystrzycka Street, 20-618 Lublin, Poland.
The aim of this study was to determine the frequency-temperature dependence of the AC conductivity and relaxation times in humid electrical pressboard used in the insulation of power transformers, impregnated with the innovative NYTRO BIO 300X bio-oil produced from plant raw materials. Tests were carried out for a composite of cellulose-bio-oil-water nanodroplets with a moisture content of 0.6% by weight to 5% by weight in the frequency range from 10 Hz to 5·10 Hz.

A key question in protein evolution and protein engineering is the prevalence of evolutionary paths between distinct proteins. An evolutionary path corresponds to a continuous path of functional sequences in sequence space leading from one protein to another. Natural selection could direct a mutating coding region in DNA along a continuous functional path (CFP), so a new protein could arise far more easily than if a coding region were randomly mutating without any constraints.
