A Contribution of Shortest Paths Algorithms to the NetworkX Python Library by Miguel Cruz, Rui Carvalho, André Costa, Luis Pinto, Luis Dias, Paulino Cerqueira, Rodrigo Machado, Tiago Batista, Pedro Castro, Jorge Ribeiro

“…We have also done the benchmarking of the A*, comparing it with the new ones, and concluded the better efficiency of the A* extensions in tri-objective scenario parameters (length, cost and toll). Despite the extensive utilisation of A* and its notable efficacy in identifying optimal paths, its performance is suboptimal in specific scenarios, such as when confronted with memory constraints and dynamic environments. …”

Anisotropic electron damping and energy gap in Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8+δ} by Jiemin Li, Yanhong Gu, Takemi Yamada, Zebin Wu, Genda Gu, Tonica Valla, Ilya Drozdov, Ivan Božović, Mark P. M. Dean, Takami Tohyama, Jonathan Pelliciari, Valentina Bisogni

“…We show that only the charge susceptibility with k-DAES captures the RIXS data, highlighting the importance of k-DAES when describing the Q dependence of charge excitations from 0 to a few eV scale. Furthermore, we also find that the inclusion of k-DAES is essential when quantitative parameters such as the electronic energy gap are extracted from RIXS data.…”

Modern aspects in anesthesia of small laboratory animals by S. V. Gurova, M. V. Mindar, D. V. Khodakova

“…In this regard, the choice of the optimal anesthesia protocol is an important point of research, since an inadequate depth of anesthesia or the influence of undesirable factors can lead to death; the type, duration, and goals of the procedure should be also taken into account.We have aimed to find out what has changed in anesthesia of laboratory animals lately, which drugs are currently relevant and what is the reason for their popularity.Anesthesia of mice is challenging for several reasons: animal size, metabolic rate, and high risk of hypothermia and hypoglycemia. …”
