A 7-channel high-Tc SQUID-based on-scalp MEG system

Due to their higher operating temperature, high-Tc superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) require less thermal insulation than the low-Tc sensors that are utilized in commercial magnetoen-cephalography (MEG) systems. As a result, they can be placed closer to the head, where neuromagnetic fields are higher and more focal, potentially leading to higher spatial resolution. The first such on-scalp MEG measurements using high-Tc SQUIDs have shown the potential of the technology. In order to be useful for neuroscience and clinical applications, however, multi-channel systems are required. Herein, we present a 7-channel on-scalp MEG system based on high-Tc SQUIDs. The YBCO SQUID magnetometers are arranged in a dense, head-aligned hexagonal array inside a single, liquid nitrogen-cooled cryostat. The spacing between the magnetometers and the head is adjustable down to 1 mm. The sensors are side-mounted on the cryostat that is mounted on an articulated armature for recordings on arbitrary head locations of a seated subject. We demonstrate white noise levels of 50-130 fT/Hz1/2 at 10 Hz, sensor-to-sensor crosstalk values of <0.6%, and single-fill operation times of 16 hours. We validate the system with MEG recordings of visual alpha modulation and auditory evoked fields. The system is thus useful for densely and sensitively sampling neuromagnetic fields over any ∼ 10 cm2 patch of the scalp surface over the course of a day.
SPRAY CHARACTERISTICS OF A KEROSENE JET IN CROSS FLOW OF AIR AT ELEVATED PRESSURE

The goal of the current investigation was to enlarge the existing dataset with penetration and atomization data for three different nozzle diameters. Kerosene was used throughout the tests but nozzle diameter, air velocity, pressure and the momentum flux ratio were varied. Shadowgraphy was employed to measure the liquid penetration and show the general spray characteristics. Droplet diameters, velocity- and fuel flux distributions were measured with a Phase Doppler Anemometer 100 mm downstream of the jet nozzle. In addition to momentum ratio, the jet penetration is also strongly influenced by the nozzle diameter. Concerning the droplet size the dependence on the nozzle diameter was small compared with the influence of air velocity and pressure. A correlation for these cases with a quotient of aerodynamic weber number Weaero and nozzle diameter D greater than 1.2E+06 of surface breakup is given.

Performance response of feedlot Bunaji bulls to dietary melon seed husk meal inclusion

A 90-day study was conducted to evaluate the performance response of feedlot Bunaji bulls to dietary melon seed husk meal inclusion. Twelve Bunaji bulls aged two years and weighing 105 Kg on the average were randomly divided into four groups of three bulls each and allotted to four dietary treatments in a Completely Randomized Design in which each bull served as a replicate. The experimental diets were formulated using maize offal, palm kernel meal, soya bean haulm, cowpea husk, soya meal, rice offal, melon seed husk, bone ash and table salt. Melon seed husk meal (MSHM) was included in the diets at 0, 5, 10 and 20% corresponding to T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively. Elephant grass (forage) and water were offered ad libitum while the experimental diets containing the melon seed husk meal were fed at 3.0% body weight of the bulls. Results obtained at the end of the study showed that there were no significant differences (P>0.05) in the initial body weight, average daily supplement intake, average daily forage intake, average daily total feed intake, average daily body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and final body weight. There were significant differences (P<0.05) in the average daily water intake whose values were 13.66, 13.42, 12.47 and 12.26 litres for T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively. It was concluded that inclusion of melon seed husk meal in the diets did not exert any deleterious effect on the performance of the feedlot Bunaji bulls. It was recommended that melon seed husk meal can be included up to 10% in the supplementary diets of feedlot Bunaji bulls.
[Association of physical inactivity with low levels of education].

BACKGROUND A higher educational level is associated with healthier lifestyles. AIM To assess the association between the level of compliance with physical activity recommendations and years of formal education in Chilean adults. MATERIAL AND METHODS Analysis include 6,174 participants from the National Health Survey 2016-2017. Physical activity levels were assessed through the Global Physical Questionnaire (GPAQ v2). Physical inactivity was defined as < 600 MET/minute/week. RESULTS Among subjects without education, 44% and 27% of women and men respectively, were physically inactive. Among women and men with the highest number of years of education (> 16) the figures for physical inactivity were 27% and 15% respectively. The odds for not meeting the physical activity recommendations was 2.3 [95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.57; 3.38] and 3.9 [95% CI: 2.27; 6.95] in women and men without any formal education respectively, as compared with those who reported 12 years of education. Women and men who reported a high level of education ≥ (16 years) did not show significant differences compared to the reference group. CONCLUSIONS People with low levels of education are were likely to be physically inactive.

KS-Burden: Assessing distributional differences of rare variants in dichotomous traits

A number of rare variant tests have been developed to explore the effect of low frequency genetic variations on complex phenotypes. However, an often neglected aspect in these tests is the position of genetic variations. Here we are proposing a way to assess the differences in spatial organization of rare variants by assessing their distributional differences between affected and unaffected subjects. To do so, we have formulated an adaptation of the well know Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test, combining both KS and a simple gene burden approach, called KS-Burden. The performance of our test was evaluated under a comprehensive simulations framework using real data and various scenarios. Our results show that the KS-Burden test is able to outperform the commonly used SKAT-O test, as well as others, in the presents of clusters of causal variants within a genomic region. Furthermore, our test is able to maintain competitive statistical power in scenarios unfavorable to its original assumptions. Hence, the KS-Burden test is a valuable alternative to existing tests and provides better statistical power in the presents of causal clusters within a gene.
Invasion genetics from eDNA and thousands of larvae: A targeted metabarcoding assay that distinguishes species and population variation of zebra and quagga mussels

Abstract Identifying species and population genetic compositions of biological invasions at early life stages and/or from environmental (e)DNA using targeted high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) metabarcode assays offers powerful and cost‐effective means for early detection, analysis of spread patterns, and evaluating population changes. The present study develops, tests, and applies this method with a targeted sequence assay designed to simultaneously identify and distinguish between the closely related invasive Eurasian zebra and quagga mussels (Dreissena polymorpha and D. rostriformis) and their relatives and discern their respective population genetic patterns. Invasions of these dreissenid mussel species have markedly changed freshwater ecosystems throughout North America and Europe, exerting severe ecological and economic damage. Their planktonic early life stages (eggs and larvae) are morphologically indistinguishable, yet each species exerts differential ecological effects, with the quagga often outcompeting the zebra mussel as adults. Our targeted assay analyzes genetic variation from a diagnostic sequence region of the mitochondrial (mt)DNA cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene, to assess temporal and spatial inter‐ and intra‐specific genetic variability. The assay facilitates analysis of environmental (e)DNA from water, early life stages from thousands of individuals, and simultaneous analysis of 50–100 tagged field‐collected samples. Experiments evaluated its accuracy and performance using: (a) mock laboratory communities containing known DNA quantities per taxon, (b) aquaria with mixed‐species/haplotype compositions of adults, and (c) field‐collected water and plankton versus traditional sampling of adult communities. Results delineated species compositions, relative abundances, and population‐level diversity differences among ecosystems, habitats, time series, and life stages from two allopatric concurrent invasions in the Great Lakes (Lake Erie) and the Hudson River, which had separate founding histories. Findings demonstrate application of this targeted assay and our approach to accurately and simultaneously discern species‐ and population‐level differences across spatial and temporal scales, facilitating early detection and ecological understanding of biological invasions.

A model independent determination of the pi^0 background in Super-Kamiokande in the T2K nu_e appearance measurement.

T2K is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment which was designed to study neutrino oscillation through the appearance of νe in a νμ beam, and measure the θ13 mixing angle. The νμ beam originates from an accelerator complex (JPARC) in Tokai, East Japan. The far detector, Super-Kamiokande (Super-K) is a large scale Water Cherenkov (WC) detector, located 1000 m underground in Kamioka, Weat Japan, and sits approximately 295 km from the neutrino beam source. This thesis discusses the detector calibration techniques employed by Super-K alongside an unique physics analysis. Firstly the calibration technique is reported, with a focus on the derivation of water scattering and absorption coefficients and the improvements made to the existing analysis strategies. Also presented is a detailed report of the development and commissioning of a new light injection system, designed and built in the UK, which was installed inside Super-K during the 2018 refurbishment period. The analysis presented focuses on the development of a data driven prediction of the neutral current single π0 (NC1π0) background contribution to the νe oscillation analysis. Next to the intrinsic νe component of the beam, NC1π0 events contribute significantly to the background contamination of the P (νμ −→ νe) appearance signal. The method presented uses a newly constructed NCπ0 "hybrid" control sample, used to calculate the 2-ring NCπ0 selection and rejection efficiencies. The sample is constructed using a combination of Super-K MC/data and T2K-SK beam MC/data from T2K Runs 1-9. The new method yields results competitive with the current T2K prediction, and provides significantly reduced uncertainties. The new method predicts the number of NC1π0 related background events to be: Nν1R = 1.65 ± 0.23 events for ν mode and Nν̄1R = 0.74 ± 0.16 events for ν̄ mode, from a T2K-data sample of 53 and 23 2-ring π0 events respectively. This thesis also discusses the potential of applying this method to a larger detector such as Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K), which will be the next generation WC detector with 8.4 times the fiducial volume of Super-K and an increase in the provided protons on target (POT) by a factor of 10.
Climate Response of Douglas Fir Reveals Recently Increased Sensitivity to Drought Stress in Central Europe

Research Highlights: In Central Europe, Douglas fir became more responsive to summer drought in recent years. Background and Objectives: Until now, Douglas fir has been considered a tree species resistant to drought. However, how Douglas fir will be able to cope with the increasing frequency and intensity of summer heat waves remains a question. The long-term variability in the climate response of Douglas fir in Central European conditions has not been fully explored. The aim of the study was to identify climatic factors controlling the stem radial growth of Douglas fir and Norway spruce, and to examine the temporal changes in tree responses to key climatic variables related to drought stress. Materials and Methods: We analysed the pattern of the climate–growth relationship of Douglas fir and Norway spruce, growing in mixed stands distributed between 260 and 600 m above sea level, which corresponds with the altitudinal zone of intensive spruce dieback in the Czech Republic. Nine-site tree-ring-width chronologies were developed for each tree species. Pointer year analysis and correlation analysis in combination with principal component analysis were used to identify climatic factors limiting their growth. Moving correlation function was computed to assess temporal changes of the climate–growth relationship. Results: In the entire 1961–2015 period, growth of both species was positively related to summer precipitation. The response to temperature differed between species. While spruce was negatively affected by the temperatures in summer months, the increments of Douglas fir were positively correlated with the temperatures in February and March. However, moving correlation analysis revealed recently increasing sensitivity to summer temperatures also for Douglas fir. Higher responsiveness of Douglas fir to drought was also revealed by the increasing frequency of negative pointer years in the 2003–2015 period. Conclusions: The recommendations of Douglas fir as a suitable alternative tree species for declining spruce stands at lower altitudes must be regarded with caution.
ANP32A and ANP32B are key factors in the Rev-dependent CRM1 pathway for nuclear export of HIV-1 unspliced mRNA

The nuclear export receptor CRM1 is an important regulator involved in the shuttling of various cellular and viral RNAs between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. HIV-1 Rev interacts with CRM1 in the late phase of HIV-1 replication to promote nuclear export of unspliced and single spliced HIV-1 transcripts. However, other cellular factors involved in the CRM1-dependent viral RNA nuclear export remain largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that ANP32A and ANP32B mediate the export of unspliced or partially spliced viral mRNA via interactions with Rev and CRM1. We found that a double, but not single, knockout of ANP32A and ANP32B significantly decreased the expression of gag protein. Reconstitution of either ANP32A or ANP32B restored the viral production equally. Disruption of both ANP32A and ANP32B expression led to a dramatic accumulation of unspliced viral mRNA in the nucleus. We further identified that ANP32A and ANP32B interact with both Rev and CRM1 to promote RNA transport. Our data strongly suggest that ANP32A and ANP32B play an important role in the Rev–CRM1 pathway, which is essential for HIV-1 replication, and our findings provide a candidate therapeutic target for host defense against retroviral infection.

Characteristics of Self-Assessment in Children Prone to Aggression in School

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the level of self-esteem and aggression in Greek adolescents and examine whether the two constructs are related. A further purpose is to explore the role of family structure in adolescents’ self-esteem and engagement in aggression and the impact of gender in aggressive behaviours. For the above scope, literature review is conducted on the topic of aggressiveness in school, as well as on the relation between self-esteem and aggression and regarding the instruments for measuring self-esteem and aggression in students. Empirically, a questionnaire survey takes place, in a sample of 124 high-school students living in Athens, in the capital of Greece. According to the results, Greek adolescents have satisfactory levels of self-esteem and present low levels of aggression. Adolescent boys are found to engage more in physical aggression, while girls are found to be engaged more in verbal aggression. Self-esteem and aggression are significantly and positively correlated. The present paper contributes to the literature of aggression and self-esteem and suggests focusing on adolescents’ self-esteem, as a means of addressing aggression in schools.
