Statistical mechanics of dimers on quasiperiodic Ammann-Beenker tilings [PDF]
Phys. Rev. B 106, 094202 (2022), 2021 We study classical dimers on two-dimensional quasiperiodic Ammann-Beenker (AB) tilings. Despite the lack of periodicity we prove that each infinite tiling admits 'perfect matchings' in which every vertex is touched by one dimer. We introduce an auxiliary 'AB$^*$' tiling obtained from the AB tiling by deleting all 8-fold coordinated vertices. The AB$^*$

The Next Generation Fecal Microbiota Transplantation: To Transplant Bacteria or Virome
Advanced Science, Volume 10, Issue 35, December 15, 2023., 2023 The use of human feces for treating diseases has a long history, but its rough form is not accepted in modern times. Therefore, new technologies for microbiota transplantation are developed, such as washed microbiota transplantation, bacteria spores treatment, and fecal virome transplantation.
