The terroir of the finch: How spatial and temporal variation shapes phenotypic traits in DARWIN'S finches

Abstract The term terroir is used in viticulture to emphasize how the biotic and abiotic characteristics of a local site influence grape physiology and thus the properties of wine. In ecology and evolution, such terroir (i.e., the effect of space or “site”) is expected to play an important role in shaping phenotypic traits. Just how important is the pure spatial effect of terroir (e.g., differences between sites that persist across years) in comparison to temporal variation (e.g., differences between years that persist across sites), and the interaction between space and time (e.g., differences between sites change across years)? We answer this question by analyzing beak and body traits of 4388 medium ground finches (Geospiza fortis) collected across 10 years at three locations in Galápagos. Analyses of variance indicated that phenotypic variation was mostly explained by site for beak size (η 2 = 0.42) and body size (η 2 = 0.43), with a smaller contribution for beak shape (η 2 = 0.05) and body shape (η 2 = 0.12), but still higher compared to year and site‐by‐year effects. As such, the effect of terroir seems to be very strong in Darwin's finches, notwithstanding the oft‐emphasized interannual variation. However, these results changed dramatically when we excluded data from Daphne Major, indicating that the strong effect of terroir was mostly driven by that particular population. These phenotypic results were largely paralleled in analyses of environmental variables (rainfall and vegetation indices) expected to shape terroir in this system. These findings affirm the evolutionary importance of terroir, while also revealing its dependence on other factors, such as geographical isolation.
The Link between Economic Growth, Electricity Consumption, and CO2 Emissions: Evidence from Indonesia

This study investigates the relationship between economic growth, electricity consumption, and CO2 emissions in Indonesia. The data utilized time series for 1971-2020 obtained from the WDI database 2021. The method utilized the ADRL and VEC models. The findings indicate that in the long run, economic growth and electricity consumption positively affect CO2 emissions. The short-run effect that occurs from economic growth is significant and negative, while the lag of CO2 emission is positive on CO2 emissions. There is a two-way causality between economic growth and electricity consumption in the short run. There is a unidirectional causality flowing from CO2 emissions to economic growth. A significant ECT coefficient has confirmed that the long-run relationship between variables in the model used is valid. The policies offered are applying emission taxes, encouraging energy conservation to control emissions, and encouraging efficient and sustainable electricity supply.How to Cite:Marwa, T. , Bashir, A. , Atiyantna, D.P., Hamidi, I. , Mukhlis, M. , Soekanto, S.

Galactic HI in Directions of Low Total Column Density

A detailed 21 cm study of areas of that have the smallest known amount of HI in the northern sky was performed. These observations were corrected for stray radiation. The region of main interest, around alpha = 10(h)45(m), delta = 57 deg 20', has a minimium N(HI) of 4.5 x 10 to the 19th power/sq cm. Spectra taken at 21' resolution over a field 4 x 3 deg in this direction show up to four HI line components. Two, near 0 and -50 km/s, are ubiquitous. There is also a narrow component at -10 km/s attributable to a diffuse cloud covering half of the field, and scattered patches of HI at v -100 km/s. the low and intermediate velocity components have a broad line width and are so smoothly distributed across the region that it is unlikely that they contain significant unresolved angular structure. Eight other low column density directions were also observed. Their spectra typically have several components, but the total column density is always 7 x 10 to the 19th power/sq cm and changes smoothly along a 2 deg strip. Half of the directions show narrow lines arising from weak diffuse HI clouds that contain 0.5 to 3.0 more » x 10 to the 19th power/sq cm. « less
Microbial Contamination of Groundwater Self‐Supply in Urban Indonesia: Assessment of Sanitary and Socio‐Economic Risk Factors

In urban Indonesia, more than 40 million people rely on groundwater self‐supply, but the extent to which self‐supply delivers safe water and the associated risk factors for fecal contamination remain unclear. This study quantified Escherichia coli (E. coli) for 511 self‐supply sources and at point‐of‐use for 173 households in the Indonesian cities of Bekasi and Metro. A structured questionnaire collected information about the household, water sources, and potential contamination sources. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis examined risk factors for fecal contamination. E. coli was detected in 66% of sources, including 55% of boreholes, 64% of protected dug wells, and 82% of unprotected dug wells. Widespread boiling of water meant microbial quality improved significantly between source and point‐of‐use, with E. coli detected in 30% of self‐supply samples at point‐of‐use. Unprotected dug wells were significantly more likely to be contaminated than boreholes. In Bekasi, the analysis found a significant association between presence of E. coli and sanitation systems located within 10 m of the groundwater source. In Metro, poorer households had significantly higher odds of contamination than wealthier households. Other significant factors included shallower borehole depths in Bekasi, use of a rope and bucket, and absence of a concrete platform in Metro. In Bekasi, E. coli concentration at source was significantly associated with water quality at point‐of‐use. Risk of fecal contamination could be reduced by supporting households to invest in improved protection, and by facilitating promotion for safe household water treatment. Support for self‐supply improvements should be weighed against the expansion and improvement of piped water services.
SOLAR ATMOSPHERIC MAGNETIC ENERGY COUPLING: BROAD PLASMA CONDITIONS AND SPECTRUM REGIMES

Solar variability investigations that include magnetic energy coupling are paramount to solving many key solar/stellar physics problems, particularly for understanding the temporal variability of magnetic energy redistribution and heating processes. Using three years of observations from the Solar Dynamics Observatory’s Atmospheric Imaging Assembly and Heliosemic Magnetic Imager, we measured radiative and magnetic fluxes from gross features and at full-disk scales, respectively. Magnetic energy coupling analyses support radiative flux descriptions via the plasma heating connectivity of dominant (magnetic) and diffuse components, specifically of the predominantly closed-field corona. Our work shows that this relationship favors an energetic redistribution efficiency across large temperature gradients, and potentially sheds light on the long-standing issue of diffuse unresolved low corona emission. The close connection between magnetic energy redistribution and plasma conditions revealed by this work lends significant insight into the field of stellar physics, as we have provided possible means for probing distant sources in currently limited and/or undetectable radiation distributions.
Search for a Non-equilibrium Plasma in the Merging Galaxy Cluster Abell 754

Abell 754 is a galaxy cluster in which an ongoing merger is evident on the plane of the sky, from the southeast to the northwest. We study the spatial variation of the X-ray spectra observed with Suzaku along the merging direction, centering on the Fe Ly-alpha / Fe He-alpha line ratio to search for possible deviation from ionization equilibrium. Fitting with a single temperature collisional non-equilibrium plasma model shows that the electron temperature increases from the southeast to the northwest. The ionization parameter is consistent with that in equilibrium (n_et>10^{13} s cm^{-3}) except for a specific region with the highest temperature (kT=13.3^{+1.4}_{-1.1} keV) where n_et=10^{11.6^{+0.6}_{-1.7}} s cm^{-3}. The elapsed time from the plasma heating estimated from the ionization parameter is 0.36-76 Myr at the 90% confidence level. This time scale is quite short but consistent with the traveling time of a shock to pass through that region. We thus interpret that the non-equilibrium ionization plasma in Abell 754 observed is a remnant of the shock heating in the merger process. We, however, note that the X-ray spectrum of the specific region where the non-equilibrium is found can also be fitted with a collisional ionization plasma model with two temperatures, low kT=4.2^{+4.2}_{-1.5} keV and very high kT > 19.3 keV. The very high temperature component is alternatively fitted with a power law model. Either of these spectral models is interpreted as a consequence of the ongoing merger process as in the case of that with the non-equilibrium ionization plasma.
A QUICK METHOD TO IDENTIFY SECULAR RESONANCES IN MULTI-PLANET SYSTEMS WITH A BINARY COMPANION

Gravitational perturbations in multi-planet systems caused by an accompanying star are the subject of this investigation. Our dynamical model is based on the binary star HD 41004 AB where a giant planet orbits HD 41004 A. We modify the orbital parameters of this system and analyze the motion of a hypothetical test planet surrounding HD 41004 A on an interior orbit to the detected giant planet. Our numerical computations indicate perturbations due to mean motion and secular resonances (SRs). The locations of these resonances are usually connected to high eccentricity and highly inclined motion depending strongly on the binary-planet architecture. As the positions of mean motion resonances can easily be determined, the main purpose of this study is to present a new semi-analytical method to determine the location of an SR without huge computational effort.
W / Z bremsstrahlung as the dominant annihilation channel for dark matter

Dark matter annihilation to leptons, {chi}{chi}{yields}ll, is necessarily accompanied by electroweak radiative corrections, in which a W or Z boson is radiated from a final-state particle. Given that the W and Z gauge bosons decay dominantly via hadronic channels, it is thus impossible to produce final-state leptons without accompanying protons, antiprotons, and gamma rays. Significantly, while many dark matter models feature a helicity-suppressed annihilation rate to fermions, radiating a massive gauge boson from a final-state fermion removes this helicity suppression, such that the branching ratios Br(l{nu}W), Br(l{sup +}l{sup -}Z), and Br({nu}{nu}Z) dominate over Br(ll). W/Z bremsstrahlung thus allows indirect detection of many weakly interacting massive particle models that would otherwise be helicity suppressed, or v{sup 2} suppressed. Antiprotons and even antideuterons become consequential final-state particles. This is an important result for future dark matter searches. We discuss the implications of W/Z bremsstrahlung for 'leptonic' dark matter models which aim to fit recent cosmic ray positron and antiproton data.
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effectiveness of High-Intensity Interval Training in People with Cardiovascular Disease at Improving Depression and Anxiety

Background To assess the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on depression and anxiety symptom in people with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) compared with usual care (UC) and traditional aerobic continuous training (CT). Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effectiveness of HIIT on depression and/or anxiety outcomes before and after treatment in people with CVDs were included. A systematic search of database containing PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), EMBASE, SPORTSDiscus, and CINAHL (EBSCOhost) was performed up to December 2021. The analyses of study characteristics, heterogeneity, and forest plot in analyses analogous were conducted via the pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) in random- or fixed-effect models as the measure of effectiveness. Results Twelve independent studies (515 participants) were included. One study was rated as low quality, and four studies were evaluated as high quality. The other studies were rated as moderate quality. Visual interpretation of funnel plots and Egger test indicated no evidence of publication bias. There was a statistically significant reduction in the severity of depression (12 studies, SMD = −0.42 [Random], 95% CI, −0.69 to −0.16, p=0.002, I2 = 52%) rather than that of anxiety symptoms (8 studies, SMD = −0.14 [Fixed], 95% CI, −0.35 to 0.06, p=0.18, I2 = 0%) following HIIT compared with UC and CT control groups. Subgroup analysis revealed that high-intensity treadmill training significantly improved (p=0.01) the depression symptom instead of training with a cycle ergometer (p=0.07) and strength training (p=0.40). Conclusions High-intensity interval treadmill training can significantly improve symptoms of depression rather than anxiety in cardiovascular patients compared to usual care and conventional aerobic continuous training.
Trichomes Morphological Diversity in Some Species from Related Tribes of Asteraceae Family in Iraq

This study includedepidermal appendages characters of ten species belongingto the familyAsteraceae.Most of the studied species are characterized by eglandular, glandular, trichomesand papillae which are variable according to itskind, number of cells, shape, dimensions, characteristicsof surrounding cells, wall thickness and the position. Results showed that all species included glandular and eglandulartrichomes exceptCosmos bipinnatus, Ecliptaprostrate, andEupatoriumcannabinum that lacked in glandular trichomes and were based on their specific details.Trichomes were divided into different groups. The glandular ones involved sessile glandular or group multicellular and the head wasmace-shaped or rounded.Whereaseglandulartrichomes are classified into various groups,unicellular trichomes group with obtuse or acute apex or with tuft shape or dendroid, dicellular.Trichome group uniserriate or biserriate, and multicellular trichome group which is widely different in their shapes, dimensions, number of cell and the position. Papillae distributed on stem, corolla, and stigma have triangular-shape with acute apex or finger-like shape with obtuse apex.Hence,trichomes reveal a taxonomic importance in species identification and determine the relationships among them in their tribes.
Fractional quantum Hall effect in a U(1)×SU(2) gauge field

We consider the bosonic fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect in the presence of a non-Abelian gauge field in addition to the usual Abelian magnetic field. The non-Abelian field breaks the twofold internal state degeneracy, but preserves the Landau level degeneracy. Using exact diagonalization, we find that for moderate non-Abelian field strengths the system's behaviour resembles a single internal state quantum Hall system, while for stronger fields there is a phase transition to either two internal state behaviour or the complete absence of FQH plateaus. Usually the energy gap is reduced by the presence of a non-Abelian field, but some non-Abelian fields appear to slightly increase the gap of the ν=1 and ν=3/2 Read–Rezayi states.
Thermal quench effects on ferroelectric domain walls

Using piezoresponse force microscopy on epitaxial ferroelectric thin films, we have measured the evolution of domain wall roughening as a result of heat-quench cycles up to 735 ${}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$C, with the effective roughness exponent $\ensuremath{\zeta}$ changing from 0.25 to 0.5. We discuss two possible mechanisms for the observed $\ensuremath{\zeta}$ increase: a quench from a thermal one-dimensional configuration and from a locally equilibrated pinned configuration with a crossover from a two- to one-dimensional regime. We find that the postquench spatial structure of the metastable states, qualitatively consistent with the existence of a growing dynamical length scale whose ultraslow evolution is primarily controlled by the defect configuration and heating process parameters, makes the second scenario more plausible. This interpretation suggests that pinning is relevant in a wide range of temperatures and, in particular, that purely thermal domain wall configurations might not be observable in this glassy system. We also demonstrate the crucial effects of oxygen vacancies in stabilizing domain structures.
Genetics of Growth Traits in Sheep: A Review

: There is a shift in objective of sheep farming from wool to mutton traits. A variety of sheep development programmes and research efforts for improving growth traits in India have been applied. Different breeds of sheep are being improved through selection, crossbreeding and inter-se mating. Genetic parameters for various growth traits of sheep have been reviewed. Least squares means and standard errors of estimates, heritability, genetic and phenotypic correlations among various growth traits are presented. Genetic and phenotypic correlations between the different growth traits were very sparse. More accurate analysis of genetic parameters and in particular correlations between different growth traits are required for accurate genetic evaluation and development of breeding objectives. Growth characteristics of indigenous and crossbred sheep evolved in different environmental conditions of country are reviewed. (2011) in crossbred and Garole×Malpura sheep, respectively. They also observed high phenotypic and genetic correlations between SMW and YBW in these breeds. The high & positive correlations between growth traits at different stages indicates that such type of correlations can be utilized in selection programmes for early selection of lambs to improve lamb weight at market age.
PLANETARY POPULATION SYNTHESIS COUPLED WITH ATMOSPHERIC ESCAPE: A STATISTICAL VIEW OF EVAPORATION

We apply hydrodynamic evaporation models to different synthetic planet populations that were obtained from a planet formation code based on the core-accretion paradigm. We investigated the evolution of the planet populations using several evaporation models, which are distinguished by the driving force of the escape flow (X-ray or EUV), the heating efficiency in energy-limited evaporation regimes, or both. Although the mass distribution of the planet populations is barely affected by evaporation, the radius distribution clearly shows a break at approximately 2 R⊕. We find that evaporation can lead to a bimodal distribution of planetary sizes and to an “evaporation valley” running diagonally downward in the orbital distance—planetary radius plane, separating bare cores from low-mass planets that have kept some primordial H/He. Furthermore, this bimodal distribution is related to the initial characteristics of the planetary populations because low-mass planetary cores can only accrete small primordial H/He envelopes and their envelope masses are proportional to their core masses. We also find that the population-wide effect of evaporation is not sensitive to the heating efficiency of energy-limited description. However, in two extreme cases, namely without evaporation or with a 100% heating efficiency in an evaporation model, the final size distributions show significant differences; these two scenarios can be ruled out from the size distribution of Kepler candidates.
THE DUAL ORIGIN OF THE NITROGEN DEFICIENCY IN COMETS: SELECTIVE VOLATILE TRAPPING IN THE NEBULA AND POSTACCRETION RADIOGENIC HEATING

We propose a scenario that explains the apparent nitrogen deficiency in comets in a way that is consistent with the fact that the surfaces of Pluto and Triton are dominated by nitrogen-rich ice. We use a statistical thermodynamic model to investigate the composition of the successive multiple guest clathrates that may have formed during the cooling of the primordial nebula from the most abundant volatiles present in the gas phase. These clathrates agglomerated with the other ices (pure condensates or stoichiometric hydrates) and formed the building blocks of comets. We report that molecular nitrogen is a poor clathrate former, when we consider a plausible gas-phase composition of the primordial nebula. This implies that its trapping into cometesimals requires a low disk temperature (∼20 K) in order to allow the formation of its pure condensate. We find that it is possible to explain the lack of molecular nitrogen in comets as a consequence of their postformation internal heating engendered by the decay of short-lived radiogenic nuclides. This scenario is found to be consistent with the presence of nitrogen-rich ice covers on Pluto and Triton. Our model predicts that comets should present xenon-to-water and krypton-to-water ratios close to solar xenon-to-oxygen and krypton-to-oxygen ratios, respectively. In contrast, the argon-to-water ratio is predicted to be depleted by a factor of ∼300 in comets compared to solar argon-to-oxygen, as a consequence of poor trapping efficiency and radiogenic heating.
THE DYNAMICAL STATE OF FILAMENTARY INFRARED DARK CLOUDS

The dense, cold gas of infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) is thought to be representative of the initial conditions of massive star and star cluster formation. We analyze 13CO J = 1–0 line emission data from the Galactic Ring Survey of Jackson et al. for two filamentary IRDCs, comparing the mass surface densities derived from 13CO, Σ13CO, with those derived from mid-infrared small median filter extinction mapping, ΣSMF, by Butler & Tan. After accounting for molecular envelopes around the filaments, we find approximately linear relations between Σ13CO and ΣSMF, i.e., an approximately constant ratio Σ13CO/ΣSMF in the clouds. There is a variation of about a factor of two between the two clouds. We find evidence for a modest decrease of Σ13CO/ΣSMF with increasing Σ, which may be due to a systematic decrease in temperature, increase in importance of high 13CO opacity cores, increase in dust opacity, or decrease in 13CO abundance due to depletion in regions of higher column density. We perform ellipsoidal and filamentary virial analyses of the clouds, finding that the surface pressure terms are dynamically important and that globally the filaments may not yet have reached virial equilibrium. Some local regions along the filaments appear to be close to virial equilibrium, although still with dynamically important surface pressures, and these appear to be sites where star formation is most active.
