Searching for Axion-like Particles at DarkQuest

: Axion-like particles (ALPs) interacting with photons can be abundantly produced in proton (cid:12)xed target experiments. Once produced, they can travel a macroscopic distance before decaying into photons. We study the sensitivity of the proposed DarkQuest experiment at Fermilab to this signature. We show that the proposed upgrade to install an electromagnetic calorimeter will enable DarkQuest to explore untested parameter space by searching for the displaced decays of ALPs.
Toward Biophysical Mechanisms of Neocortical Computation after 50 Years of Barrel Cortex Research

Computations in cortical circuits play fundamental roles in higher brain function. Recent technological advances have greatly facilitated the quantitative description of the structure and connectivity of cell-type-specific cortical synaptic circuitry as well as its function in mice carrying out simple goal-directed sensory-perceptual tasks. Mechanistic understanding of how cortical circuits process sensory information requires detailed biophysical computational modeling, in turn demanding increasingly precise data. Through integrative research into structure, function, and simulation, neuroscientists are now in position to investigate causal mechanisms of cortical computation. A key model system for studying neuronal circuit structure–function relationships is the mouse barrel cortex which processes tactile sensory information from the array of whiskers surrounding the snout 1 (Figure 1A). After 50 years of barrel cortex research since its discovery by Thomas Woolsey and Hendrik van der Loos in 1970, 2 here, we discuss future research avenues into the Structure, Function, and Simulation of barrel cortex circuits, which will need to be integrated in order to establish causality in structure–function relationships for behavior.

Restructuring citrus endophytic diversity through potential indigenous endophytes could eliminate huanglongbing pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus

Background Huanglongbing (HLB) is a major botanical pandemic of citrus crops caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Clas). It is important to understand the different mechanisms involved in interaction of pathogen with plants to develop novel management strategy against HLB. However, until now there has been no control strategy to manage this disease in vitro and on large scale in citrus grove. We found that, indigenous endophyte Bacillus subtilis L1-21, a patented strain isolated from healthy citrus tree, may have the potential to reduce the impact of pathogen through restructuring of core endophytes. Results A novel half-leaf method was developed to test the efficacy of B. subtilis L1-21 against Clas. Concentration of B. subtilis L1-21 at 104 cfu ml− 1 resulted in a 1000-fold reduction in Clas copy densities per gram of leaf midrib (107 to 104) by 4 d after treatment. With endophytes, where HLB incidence was reduced to < 3% and Clas copy density was reduced from 109 to 104 pathogen g− 1 of diseased leaf midrib. We found that 16 of 93 tree samples became Clas-free and functional pathways and pathogen resistance genes were regulated in diseased citrus trees after treatment. Conclusions This is the first large-scale study using an indigenous endophyte and shows its potential utility in sustainable disease management through strengthening the citrus microbiome.
PRODUCT QUALITY IMPROVEMENT USING SIX SIGMA APPROACH IN YARN MAKING PROCESS IN PT. SUTRA COTTON TEXTILE INDUSTRIES SURABAYA

The successful implementation of the six sigma quality improvement program is demonstrated through the improvement of the capability process in producing products leading to zero defect. Therefore, the concept of calculating process capability is very important to understand in the implementation of the Six Sigma program. This research raises the problem of the low level of capability process in producing yarns at PT. Sutra Cotton Textile Industries, Surabaya. By wisely applying six sigma techniques can help reduce things that can affect overall costs. If a company has successfully implemented the concepts in six sigma, then it can be ascertained that the company is truly a reliable company in the world class. Another advantage gained from the implementation of the Six Sigma program is the achievement of targets, namely the increased capability process, of course, in terms of cost. From secondary data in May 2019, in the measure phase it is known that the DPMO value of 16,266 which can be interpreted that of one million production carried out there was a defect of 16,266 with a sigma value of 3.64. From these results it can be said that the production process in Winding has not been able to produce products that fit the desired specifications and is still lagging behind other subprocesses. method. The main priority in carrying out corrective actions based on FMEA is to clean and check the machine at the end of each production cycle. From the results of improvements, the sigma value and DPMO value obtained in September 2019 is 10,977 DPMO which means that of one million production carried out there is a defect of 10,977 with a sigma value of 3.80.
Nitrogen Dopants in Carbon Nanomaterials: Defects or a New Opportunity?

Analysis of MicroRNA Transcriptomes Insights into the miR-148a-3p Inducer of Rumen Development in Goats

Background: Rumen is an important digestive organ of ruminant. From fetal to adult stage, the morphology, structure and function of rumen have changed significantly. But the intrinsic genetic regulation is still limited. We previously reported a genome-wide expression profile of miRNAs in prenatal goat rumens. In the present study, we rejoined analyzed the transcriptomes of rumen miRNAs during prenatal (E60 and E135) and postnatal (D30 and D150) stages.Results: A total of 66 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were identified in the rumen tissues from D30 and D150 goats. Of these, 17 DEMs were consistently highly expressed in the rumens at the preweaning stages (E60, E135 and D30), while down-regulated at D150. Noteworthy, annotation analysis revealed that the target genes regulated by the DEMs were mainly enriched in MAPK signaling pathway, Jak-STAT signaling pathway and Ras signaling pathway. Interestingly, the expression of miR-148a-3p was significantly high in the embryonic stage and down-regulated at D150. The potential binding sites between miR-148a-3p and QKI were predicted by the TargetScan and verified by the dual luciferase report assay. The co-localization of miR-148a-3p and QKI was observed not in intestinal tracts but in rumen tissues by in situ hybridization. Moreover, the expression of miR-148a-3p in the epithelium was significantly higher than that in the other layers, suggesting that miR-148a-3p involve in the development of rumen epithelial cells by targeting QKI. Subsequently, miR-148a-3p inhibitor was found to induce the proliferation of GES-1 cells.Conclusions: Taken together, these results identified the DEMs involved in the development of rumen and provided an insight into the regulation mechanism of goat rumens during development.

Antibacterial activity of these green synthesized Ag- NPs was evaluated against selected pathogns such as Enterococcus faecalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by disc diffusion assay.These synthesized AgNPs showed a good antimicrobial activity against the selected bacterial pathogens.
A COMPARATIVE CLINICAL STUDY ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BHARANGYADI CHOORNA AND VYAGHRI CHOORNA IN TAMAKA SWASA (BRONCHIAL ASTHMA)

Ayurveda classics mentioned various types of Swasa and Tamaka Swasa is one among them. Tamakaswasa is manifested by aggravated Pranavayu by the obstruction of Kapha. In this case treatment should be to clear out Pranavaha srotas, pacify Vata and remove the blockage due to Kapha. In modern science Tamaka Swasa is correlated with Bronchial Asthma. It’s a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which the chronic inflammation causes an associated increase in airway hyper responsiveness that leads to recurrent episodes of asthmatic exacerbation. Modern science has no permanent cure of Tamaka Swasa, that’s why it is necessity to search herbal and herbo-mineral preparations for the treatment of disease. Present Study was conducted to reduce the symptoms of Tamakaswasa. Bharangyadi Choorna and Vyaghri Choorna have the properties of Kapha Vata hara, Agni Deepana, Pachana, Anulomana, Srotoshodhana, anti-asthamatic and anti-inflammatory property. Materials and Method: Patients who have symptoms of Tamakaswasa fulfill the inclusion criteria were given with Bharangyadi Choorna 4gm thrice a day along with Ardraka Swarasa as Anupana in the trail group i.e., group A and Vyaghri Choorna 4gm thrice a day along with honey as Anupana in the control group i.e. group B. It is a comparative clinical study with 30 patients in each group for 30 days. Analyzing the signs and symptoms, PEFR after each 10 days, Wilcoxon test was done for comparing the effectiveness of treatment between two groups. Comparative analysis of the overall effect of the treatments in both the groups was done by statistically done by Mann-Whitney test. Results: There was statistically significant change in all the signs and symptoms and PEFR after treatment and follow up. All the signs and symptoms have P ≤ 0.05. Conclusion: Bharangyadi Choorna has shown highly significant reduction in the symptoms like Swasakrichratha, Peenasa, Kasa, Ghurghuraka, Krichrabhashana, Shushkasya and PEFR. On comparison between the two groups, Bharangyadi choorna showed a better result in improvement of symptoms- Swasakrichratha, Peenasa, Kasa, Ghurghuraka, Krichrabhashana, Shushkasya and objective parameter- PEFR. Hence H2 hold good.
Effects of soil acidity on Douglas fir seedlings. II: The role of pH, aluminium concentration and nitrogen nutrition (pot experiment)

In a greenhouse experiment the growth of one-year-old Douglas fir seed­ lings decreased with increasing soil acidity when soil pH (pH(H 2 0)) was 4.0 or low­ er. Also mortality of the plants was high at low soil pH. Biomass of roots and of up­ per plant parts and shoot length were used as growth parameters. Growth reduction due to low pH was significantly stronger upon fertilization with NH4 than with NO3-N. Below a pH of about 4, aluminium in the soil solution increased exponen­ tially with decreasing soil pH, especially when NH4 was used as nitrogen fertilizer. Aluminium concentrations in the needles of plants grown on the extreme acid soils were high and probably reached toxic levels.
Molecular beam epitaxy of the van der Waals heterostructure MoTe2 on MoS2: phase, thermal, and chemical stability

(Sub)monolayer MoTe2 is grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a bulk MoS2 substrate. The film morphology, the thermally induced transformation of structural and compositional phases, as well as the chemical stability upon exposure to atmosphere are investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy and photoemission spectroscopy. Predominantly, semiconducting α-MoTe2 islands are obtained under tellurium rich growth conditions and a substrate temperature of 200 °C. Under less tellurium-rich conditions, elongated and meandering MoTe2−x strands are formed rather than compact islands. Similarly, annealing of initial α-MoTe2 islands to above 500 °C causes the loss of tellurium and possibly transformation into the same MoTe2−x strands. Consequently, under vacuum conditions the the transformation of α-MoTe2 monolayers into the semimetallic β -MoTe2 high temperature phase is accompanied by a loss of Te and formation of MoTe2−x phase. The obtained tellurium deficient MoTe2−x phase is almost metallic but a small band gap of a few tens meV remains. The as-grown α-MoTe2 islands exhibit a moiré structure with ∼2.6 nm periodicity. This periodicity implies a rotation of ∼56° between the MoTe2 and MoS2. We assign the observation of a specific rotation angle for the grown MoTe2 islands with respect to the MoS2 substrate to the lowest energy adsorption configuration for MoTe2 monolayers on MoS2 substrates. Exposure of the as grown films to atmosphere results in oxidation of the MoTe2 film. The oxidized film maintains the two-dimensional island morphology of the initial film and thus is a candidate for a 2D (amorphous) oxide layer on MoS2.
Effect of micronutrients and different levels of macronutrients with Rhizobium on yield and yield attributes of mung bean

A field experiment entitled “Effect of micronutrients application over different levels of RDF on performance of mung bean ( Vigna radiata L. Wilczek)” was carried at CRC, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut (U.P.) India, during Zaid 2019. The soil of the experimental field was well drained, sandy loam in texture and slightly alkaline in reaction. It was low in organic carbon, low in available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and potassium. Total twenty treatment combinations comprised of five levels of RDF (N 1 : Control, N 2 : only Rhizobium, N 3 : 75% RDF + Rhizobium , N 4 : 100% RDF, N 5 : 100% RDF + Rhizobium ) in main plot and four levels of micronutrients spray (M 1 : Only water spray, M 2 : Fe (0.5% solution), M 3 : Mo (0.05% solution), M 4 : Fe + Mo (0.5% solution & 0.05% solution), in sub plot were tested with split plot design in three replications. The finding revealed that yield attributes and yields of mung bean was influenced significantly by the different levels of RDF as well as foliar spray of Iron and Molybdenum. Application of 100% RDF + Rhizobium recorded significantly higher yield and yield attributes of mung bean. Foliar spray of Iron @ 0.5% + Molybdenum @ 0.05% at 25 and 45 DAS also recorded the highest value of yield attributes and yields of mung bean, which was significantly higher than control. On an averages 115% increase in grain yield was recorded with 100% RDF + Rhizobium followed by two spray of micronutrients (Fe + Mo @ 0.5% + 0.05%) at 25 and 45 DAS.

Combined Framing Effects of Emotion and Visual Exemplar on Attitudes and Behavioral Intentions Toward Carbon Pricing

Carbon pricing is believed to be one of the most effective ways to curb carbon emissions. However, societal acceptance of carbon pricing has been lukewarm, as it imposes fees on consumers. This study investigated the role of combining emotional responses in gain/loss framing with visual imagery in generating a desired attitude and behavioral intention toward carbon pricing. The study tested the effects of message framing in a 2x2 (emotion: hope vs. fear; visual: present vs. absent) between-subjects experiment and showed that fear arousal in the loss-framed message was more persuasive than hope arousal in the gain-framed message. The mediation role of message evaluative processing on fear response was significant. This research offers important theoretical contributions by examining the role of emotions and visual imagery in carbon pricing persuasion. It also poses helpful message framing guidance for public policy decision-making on communicating carbon pricing.
The Third Mission Among Nordic Universities: A Systematic Literature Review

ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to analyse the “Third Mission” (TM) of universities within Nordic countries and universitieś approach to implementing the mission into their strategy. The main activities that Nordic universities relate to the Third Mission are examined and policy implications drawn. Furthermore, gaps in literature are outlined that imply possible future research. The systematic literature review outlines 35 articles in the period from 2000 to 2018. Qualitative case studies have been the main research method so far, and about half of the research at Nordic universities has been conducted in Sweden. Most research has focused on commercial aspects of the Third Mission, but neglected social components and indirect, less visible activities such as popular-science publications or participation in policymaking. Little research regarding TM has been conducted in humanities or social sciences. For future research, more cross-national studies are needed, as well as research with a mixed-method research design.
The Use of Machine Learning in Educational Datasets

The use of machine learning in educational datasets can be very important in predicting and detecting different behaviours related to education, so knowing the most useful techniques that help to effectively analyse these datasets will be very beneficial for any type of machine learning that needs to be performed. This paper explains the typical and common workflow for machine learning with educational datasets (interpreting the term machine learning as the algorithms that learn from data automatically), especially focusing on the pre-processing of these datasets, a process that takes place before machine learning algorithms are performed.
CdSe1_xTex Phase Segregation in CdSe/CdTe Based Solar Cells

Thin film polycrystalline CdTe-based solar cells are promising devices for solar applications due to their low production costs and high theoretical efficiency (~30%). However, the highest thin film CdTe laboratory cell efficiency is 21.5%, and the best CdTe module efficiency is 17.5%, which are well below the theoretical efficiency [1]. CdTe solar cell devices typically utilize a p-type CdTe absorber layer junctioned with a thin (~50-100 nm) n-type CdS window layer (~2.4 eV band gap) [2]. A photoactive CdTe x S 1-x alloy layer forms at the interface region, which could enhance the photocurrent in the long wavelength regime due to bowing effects [3]. However, S diffusion into CdTe is limited due to the large lattice mismatch between CdS and CdTe, and there is not enough S diffusion to be effective in increasing the photocurrent [4]. On the other hand, Se can easily diffuse into the CdTe layer due to the relatively close lattice constants of CdTe and CdSe. Therefore, CdTe solar cell devices have been fabricated with a CdSe (~1.7 eV band gap) window layer to enhance the short-circuit current (J SC ) by increasing the photocurrent for long wavelength photons. To optimize the device, CdTe has been grown on 50, 100, 200, and 400 nm CdSe layers. External quantum efficiency (EQE) data for samples grown with CdSe layers between 50 and 200 nm show improved photocurrent in both the short and long wavelength regimes compared to CdS/CdTe devices, which drastically improves the J SC [4]. However, devices with a CdSe layer greater than 400 nm have a significantly reduced photocurrent for
Drop coalescence in technical liquid/liquid applications: a review on experimental techniques and modeling approaches

Abstract The coalescence phenomenon of drops in liquid/liquid systems is reviewed with particular focus on its technical relevance and application. Due to the complexity of coalescence, a comprehensive survey of the coalescence process and the numerous influencing factors is given. Subsequently, available experimental techniques with different levels of detail are summarized and compared. These techniques can be divided in simple settling tests for qualitative coalescence behavior investigations and gravity settler design, single-drop coalescence studies at flat interfaces as well as between droplets, and detailed film drainage analysis. To model the coalescence rate in liquid/liquid systems on a technical scale, the generic population balance framework is introduced. Additionally, different coalescence modeling approaches are reviewed with ascending level of detail from empirical correlations to comprehensive film drainage models and detailed computational fluid and particle dynamics.
