description: We investigated the benefit from introgression of external lines into a cereal breeding programme and strategies that accelerated introgression of the favourable alleles while minimising linkage drag using stochastic computer simulation. We simulated genomic selection for disease resistance and grain yield in two environments with a high level of genotype-by-environment interaction (G × E) for the latter trait, using genomic data of a historical barley breeding programme as the base generation. Two populations (existing and external) were created from this base population with different allele frequencies for few (N = 10) major and many (N ~ 990) minor simulated disease quantitative trait loci (QTL). The major disease QTL only existed in the external population and lines from the external population were introgressed into the existing population which had minor disease QTL with low, medium and high allele frequencies. The study revealed that the benefit of introgression depended on the level of genetic variation for the target trait in the existing cereal breeding programme. Introgression of external resources into the existing population was beneficial only when the existing population lacked variation in disease resistance or when minor disease QTL were already at medium or high frequency. When minor disease QTL were at low frequencies, no extra genetic gain was achieved from introgression. More benefit in the disease trait was obtained from the introgression if the major disease QTL had larger effect sizes, more selection emphasis was applied on disease resistance, or more external lines were introgressed. While our strategies to increase introgression of major disease QTL were generally successful, most were not able to completely avoid negative impacts on selection for grain yield with the only exception being when major introgression QTL effects were very large. Breeding programmes are advised to carefully consider the level of genetic variation in a trait available in their breeding programme before deciding to introgress germplasms.

description: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, elite sport leagues implemented hubs, or 'bubbles', which restricted athletes' movements and social interactions in order to minimise the risk of athlete infection and allow competitions to continue. This was a new way of working and living for elite athletes and there was a dearth of literature on this topic. The main objective of the study was to investigate the impacts of the hub model on athletes over time, and what job demands and resources existed for athletes through the application of Demerouti et al. (2001) Job Demands-Resources Model. Multiple sequential semi-structured interviews were conducted with Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) athletes during the 2020 season, which was held entirely in a hub in North Queensland, Australia. The key job demands in an elite sport hub identified were the volume of work, simultaneous overload and underload, and nature of work in the hub. The key resources that emerged include recovery services, control and player agency, and constructive social relations. Despite the presence of job resources, which work to counteract, or buffer job demands in order to reduce work stress and improve motivation, they were found to be insufficient for athletes and inequitably distributed between clubs. The intensity of the hub model also amplified demands present in all WNBL seasons. This research is therefore useful for planning of future elite sport leagues to improve the type and amount of resources available to athletes, thereby improving athlete wellbeing and performance both within and outside a hub model.

description: Non-communicable diseases continue to increase globally and have their origins early in life. Early life obesity tracks from childhood to adulthood, is associated with obesity, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction, and predicts non-communicable disease risk in later life. There is mounting evidence that these factors are more prevalent in infants who are formula-fed compared to those who are breastfed. Human milk provides the infant with a complex formulation of lipids, many of which are not present in infant formula, or are present in markedly different concentrations, and the plasma lipidome of breastfed infants differs significantly from that of formula-fed infants. With this knowledge, and the knowledge that lipids have critical implications in human health, the lipid composition of human milk is a promising approach to understanding how breastfeeding protects against obesity, inflammation, and subsequent cardiovascular disease risk. Here we review bioactive human milk lipids and lipid metabolites that may play a protective role against obesity and inflammation in later life. We identify key knowledge gaps and highlight priorities for future research.

Despite the prevalence and relevance of racism throughout Asia, much scholarship on the topic remains parochially focussed on the north Atlantic world. This article aims to help address this issue in two ways. First, it discusses surveillance and racialisation practices in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China, based on an examination of leaked police files from the city of Urumqi. It examines how racialisation processes are carried out through surveillance, who these impact, and how. Second, these empirical materials are put in a broader comparative framework, drawing on Michel Foucault's concept of state racism, which sees racism as a technique of governance common to all contemporary states. The conclusions reflect on what it means to undertake anti-racist scholarship in a world of racist states.

description: The Country Compendium of the Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species (GRIIS) is a collation of data across 196 individual country checklists of alien species, along with a designation of those species with evidence of impact at a country level. The Compendium provides a baseline for monitoring the distribution and invasion status of all major taxonomic groups, and can be used for the purpose of global analyses of introduced (alien, non-native, exotic) and invasive species (invasive alien species), including regional, single and multi-species taxon assessments and comparisons. It enables exploration of gaps and inferred absences of species across countries, and also provides one means for updating individual GRIIS Checklists. The Country Compendium is, for example, instrumental, along with data on first records of introduction, for assessing and reporting on invasive alien species targets, including for the Convention on Biological Diversity and Sustainable Development Goals. The GRIIS Country Compendium provides a baseline and mechanism for tracking the spread of introduced and invasive alien species across countries globally.

description: Bayesian methods, such as BayesR, for predicting the genetic value or risk of individuals from their genotypes, such as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP), are often implemented using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) process. However, the generation of Markov chains is computationally slow. We introduce a form of blocked Gibbs sampling for estimating SNP effects from Markov chains that greatly reduces computational time by sampling each SNP effect iteratively n-times from conditional block posteriors. Subsequent iteration over all blocks m-times produces chains of length m × n. We use this strategy to solve large-scale genomic prediction and fine-mapping problems using the Bayesian MCMC mixed-effects genetic model, BayesR3. We validate the method using simulated data, followed by analysis of empirical dairy cattle data using high dimension milk mid infra-red spectra data as an example of “omics” data and show its use to increase the precision of mapping variants affecting milk, fat, and protein yields relative to a univariate analysis of milk, fat, and protein.

description: Trait-based models of ecological communities and ecosystem functioning often fail to account for intraspecific variation in functional traits, assuming that intraspecific variability is negligible compared with interspecific variability. However, this assumption remains poorly tested across vertebrate animals where past studies routinely describe species according to mean trait values without explicit consideration of individual trait variability. We assessed nine functional traits for 4254 individuals belonging to 15 freshwater fish species from 11 families in northern Australia, including body elongation, body shape, caudal peduncle throttle, eye size, eye position, gape shape, gape size, mouth position, and pectoral fin length. We quantified the extent and geography of intraspecific trait variability and its relationship with riverine hydrologic regimes using a structured sampling design. Using a combination of single- and multi-trait analyses, we demonstrate that intraspecific trait variability can contribute up to 70% of the total trait variability depending on the attribute considered and averaged 31% across all traits. The magnitude of intraspecific trait variability also varied across the hydrological permanency gradient. Fish assemblages in intermittent streams subjected to frequent environmental disturbance had high intraspecific trait variability, most likely due to strong abiotic filters limiting interspecific divergence. Conversely, assemblages in perennial rivers with less harsh environmental filters but with a larger pool of species expressed lower intraspecific trait variability: This is most likely due to stronger resource competition (biotic filter), which promotes specialization of resource use and, consequently, interspecific divergence. Our study provides the first evidence of intraspecific trait variability driven by a disturbance gradient for an animal group and points to the need for additional research into the functional importance of intraspecific variability in animal ecology. A better understanding of the patterns, drivers, and implications of intraspecific trait variability will help guide mechanistic-based predictions of the effects of environmental changes on community assemblage and ecosystem processes.

description: Background/Aims: The 3-phase fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) diet has shown a high level of efficacy in irritable bowel syndrome, largely based on dietitian delivered education. However, access to dietitians can be limited, and challenges exist when applying the diet to a wide range of cultures, such as limited FODMAP analysis of local foods. This review aims to discuss ways to optimally use the FODMAP diet in practice in a wide range of cultures, directed at gastroenterologists from a dietitian's perspective. Methods: Recent literature was analysed via search databases including Medline, CINAHL, PubMed and Scopus. Results: The dietetic process involves detailed assessment and follow-up through the 3 stages of the FODMAP diet (restriction, re-introduction, and long-term maintenance). Emerging evidence suggests the diet can be delivered by other health professionals such as the gastroenterologist or nurse, but training on how to do so successfully would be needed. Self-guided approaches through use of technology or specialised food delivery services may be an alternative when dietitians are not available, but efficacy data is limited. Regardless of delivery mode, nutritional and psychological risks of the diet must be mitigated. Additionally, culturally appropriate education must be provided, with accommodations necessary when the FODMAP content of local foods are unknown. Conclusion: While the diet has shown improved irritable bowel syndrome outcomes across studies, it is important to acknowledge the essential role of dietitians in implementing, tailoring, and managing the diet to achieve the best outcome for each individual.

description: In recent years, there has been an upsurge of studies on sustainable development. The majority of research focuses on developed countries and issues that are incompatible with developing nations. This study addresses a gap in the literature by reviewing the research on developed and developing economies, as well as their social and environmental boundaries, under the renewable energy and sustainable development (RESD) nexus. It also explores how RESD may be applied in extreme situations such as population increase, energy supply disruptions, and transportation shortfalls. The fundamental contribution of this paper is to provide detailed debate from the perspective of economic growth hypotheses and their relationship with energy usage and renewable energy solutions for sustainable growth and development.

description: We tested if the misapplication of perceptual constancy mechanisms might explain the perceived misalignment of the oblique lines in the Poggendorff illusion. Specifically, whether these mechanisms might treat the rectangle in the middle portion of the Poggendorff stimulus as an occluder in front of one long line appearing on either side, causing an apparent decrease in the rectangle’s width and an apparent increase in the misalignment of the oblique lines. The study aimed to examine these possibilities by examining the effects of adding pictorial depth cues. In experiments 1 and 2, we presented a central rectangle composed of either large or small bricks to determine if this manipulation would change the perceived alignment of the oblique lines and the perceived width of the central rectangle, respectively. The experiments demonstrated no changes that would support a misapplication of perceptual constancy in driving the illusion, despite some evidence of perceptual size rescaling of the central rectangle. In experiment 3, we presented Poggendorff stimuli in front and at the back of a corridor background rich in texture and linear perspective depth cues to determine if adding these cues would affect the Poggendorff illusion. The central rectangle was physically large and small when presented in front and at the back of the corridor, respectively. The strength of the Poggendorff illusion varied as a function of the physical size of the central rectangle, and, contrary to our predictions, the addition of pictorial depth cues in both the central rectangle and the background decreased rather than increased the strength of the illusion. The implications of these results with regards to different theories are discussed. It could be the case that the illusion depends on both low-level and cognitive mechanisms and that deleterious effects occur on the former when the latter ascribes more certainty to the oblique lines being the same line receding into the distance.

description: We derive new variance formulas for inference on a general class of estimands of causal average treatment effects in a Randomized Control Trial (RCT). We generalize Robins (1988) and show that when the researcher’s objective is inference on Sample Average Treatment Effect of the Treated (SATT), a consistent variance estimator exists. Although this estimand is equal to the Sample Average Treatment Effect (SATE) in expectation, potentially large differences in both accuracy and coverage can occur by the change of estimand, even asymptotically. Inference on SATE, even using a conservative confidence interval, provides incorrect coverage of SATT. We demonstrate the applicability of the new theoretical results using an empirical application with hundreds of online experiments with an average sample size of approximately one hundred million observations per experiment. An R package, estCI, that implements all the proposed estimation procedures is available.

description: This study investigates diet heterogeneity among Chinchorro and Inca adults and subadults living on the northern Chilean coast of the Atacama Desert before and after the introduction of maize cultivation. This is achieved by amino acid carbon isotope analysis and bulk carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur isotope analysis of 1-cm sequential segments of scalp hair from human remains deposited at the funerary sites of Morro 1 and 1–6 (Archaic Period) and Camarones 9 (Late Period). Results show that Chinchorro adults relied predominantly on marine resources and partially on wild plants. Inter-individual variability in diet was limited, indicating food redistribution between sexes. Childhood and adolescent diets were comparable to those of the adults. Partial breastfeeding was continued up to the age of 2–3 yrs. Subsequently, Inca adults relied on a combination of marine resources and maize. Intra- and inter-individual variability in diet was limited suggesting existence of a centralised system of food procurement and redistribution. Childhood and juvenile diets were comparable to those of the adults, except for two malnourished children being raised on maize. Amino acid δ13C analysis of hair keratin is proposed as a potential tool for reconstructing the nutritional status of an infant without population-specific maternal isotope baseline.
title: The role of the horse on Thessalian coinage, ca. 479-320 BC
Creators: name: Mack, Rosanagh
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: This thesis examines the equine iconography which dominates Thessalian coinage issued 
between ca. 479-320 BC and it seeks to determine the reasons behind the choice of a 
particular coin type: political, economic or religious. The numismatic corpus is analyzed
with close reference to the coinage of other mints in the Greek world and neighbouring 
regions, as well as other visual media, literary, epigraphic, and archaeological evidence.
The arguments presented in this thesis contribute to current scholarship on Thessaly by 
demonstrating the connectivity of the Thessalians, not only with other parts of the Greek 
world, but also further afield. 
This study takes a fresh approach which moves away from the traditional view of the 
horse as a status symbol and builds on recent work by emphasising the importance of 
regional variation. Taking a chronological approach, I examine the start of coinage in 
Thessaly after the Persian Wars, and the role played by the horse in the construction of 
both polis, regional, and ethnic identity which was closely linked to the cult of Poseidon 
Petraios. This tells us much regarding the relationship of the minting cities to each other, 
and to the physical environment. Attention is drawn to the use of coinage in the marketing 
strategies of the Thessalians to promote the female and the male horse both for breeding
and as economic products. An examination of images of the horse under a rider on the 
battlefield, hunting and in scenes taken from daily life, reveal rare evidence for apparel 
and the training of the horse. Overall, it is my contention that Thessalian coinage takes us 
away from a simplistic perception of the horse and gives us a deeper appreciation of its 
central role in Thessalian society.

Variability Of The Sun And Sun-Like Stars On Different Timescales
Creators: name: Solanki, Sami K.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016

description: Although many features can be seen moving across it at various wavelengths, the Sun is an almost constant star with regard to its radiative output. Its radiative variability has generally only been discovered after the beginning of the space age. For Sun-like stars it is easier to measure their small levels of variability from the ground, leading to some unexpected discoveries that seemed to suggest a behaviour rather different than that displayed by the Sun. However, revisions of the measurements as well as advances in modelling have in recent years shown that some of the main differences between the Sun and stars can be reconciled. A much richer data set of short and medium-term variability has been provided by the COROT and Kepler missions. Although a number of exciting results have already been obtained from these data, many more are expected in the coming years as the data are more thoroughly analysed and models of solar variability are extended to describe stars which, while similar to the Sun, are not exact solar analogs.

ABSTRACT

The ecology of the Buton macaque (Macaca ochreata brunnescens) is poorly understood, and its status and habitat preferences have not been previously investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the population density and population size of the Buton macaque in the forests of central Buton. The habitat requirements of the species were also investigated. Data collected indicate a population density of 14.9 Buton macaques/km2, and a current population size of 3,752 within the protected forests of central Buton. This is likely to be viable in the long- term. No habitat preferences could be identified, although the current habitat appears adequate.

Howler monkeys (Alouatta spp.) were studied in Honduras with the aim of identifying the species present and characterising its activity patterns. There is dispute over the identity of the howler monkey species occurring in Honduras, but morphological and behavioural data presented here indicate that the species present in the Cusuco National Park, Honduras, is A. palliata. A new, molecular, species identification technique using non-invasively collected DNA samples extracted from faeces was also employed, although this was unsuccessful. Differences were observed between the activity budgets of male and female howler monkeys, which could be explained by their different social roles. However, the sample size of the study was relatively small.

The eye morphology of the tree frogs Agalychnis calcarifer and A. craspedopus, is unusual within the genus Agalychnis. The iris of these two species displays apparent metachrosis (colour change) as the eye opens, a phenomenon which is unreported in amphibians. This study uses a new technique involving digital image analysis to quantitatively assess this process, and to determine the mechanism by which it occurs. Observations suggest that the visible colour of the iris is modulated by revealing different areas of the iris as opposed to redistributing pigment. The eye morphology of A. calcarifer and A. craspedopus was also described in relation to other Agalychnis frogs. The advantages and limitations of digital image analysis as a morphometric tool are discussed.

description: In this essay we analyse three recent historical novels from Australia that take as their focus figures who transcend normative gender boundaries in some way, either through their possible criminal activity and/or their sexuality or gender identity: Hannah Kent’s Burial Rites (2013), about Agnes Magnúsdóttir, the last woman executed in Iceland; Sarah Schmidt’s See What I Have Done (2017), about the infamous Lizzie Borden; and Pip Smith’s Half Wild (2017), about the many identities of Harry Crawford. In tandem with the novels, we examine interviews and other authorial paratexts to address a number of key questions: What drew the authors to render these historical figures in fiction? What ethical or creative challenges do such portrayals present for writers and readers? What cultural work is performed by each novel? We argue that the novels’ use of indeterminacy and multiplicity as formal techniques demonstrates their authors’ commitment to feminist and revisionist interventions. Interrogating the nexus of gender and criminality as portrayed in these novels sheds light on contemporary interests in characters whose lives seem to subvert the expectations of gender identity in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
title: The impact of economic stimulus package on the Chinese economy
Creators: name: Gong, Jialin
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: China’s stimulus package after the global financial crisis in 2008 rapidly boosted its GDP. However, it also raised concerns about its long-lasting and unintended consequences that have reduced China’s growth potential. This thesis aims to explore the effect of China’s stimulus package from macro-, industry-, and firm-level perspectives. The first topic investigates the growth effects of the stimulus package. Based on province-level high-frequency data and a “heterogeneous panel” econometric method - Pooled Mean Group (PMG), the results reveal a significant long-term negative association between the stimulus package and GDP growth in China, despite positive short-term effects. The second topic examines how the stimulus package, when interacting with government intervention, influences industry investment and its subsequent outcomes. Using province-industry observations from 2003 to 2016 and employing the Difference-in-Differences (DID) strategy, I find that government backup encourages industries to invest more, at the expense of worsening aggregate efficiency. The third topic studies how the stimulus-driven credit boom affects the bank loan financing of firms. Through Chinese listed firm data from 2003 to 2018, the finding indicates that political connections serve as an implicit guarantee, enabling firms with these connections to obtain and maintain favourable treatment from bank lending after the stimulus package. Overall, this thesis supports the view that the stimulus package led more resources to being allocated to industries and firms with government backup, which, in turn, contributed to the slowdown in Chinese growth in the recent decade.

description: We propose a unified geometric framework in which the mass, spin, interactions, and curvature of spacetime emerge from the topological and dynamical properties of a fundamental torsion field \tau^\mu. In this model, all fundamental particles are described as quantized winding excitations of the torsion field, and the spontaneous breaking of torsional symmetry gives rise to mass and vacuum energy. The electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions are interpreted as local couplings of winding configurations, while gravitational curvature arises from the energy-momentum tensor of \tau^\mu. We present the axiomatic structure of the theory and derive key physical theorems, including the origin of charge, spin, antimatter, and dark components of the universe. This approach offers a natural unification of fundamental physics and predicts testable deviations in high-curvature and cosmological regime.

description: An improved consistent soot nucleation model was proposed and tested on ethylene counterflow flames at different strain rates. The main objective of the proposed model is to capture the correct strain rate sensitivity and broaden the applicability of the aerosol part of the soot model with different gas-phase kinetic mechanisms. Due to the uncertainties associated with experimental measurements of quantitative soot volume fraction (SVF), the approach’s effectiveness is mainly investigated on qualitative behavior in terms of strain rate sensitivity. Starting from a dimer-based nucleation model available in literature, soot inception is described as heterogeneous collisions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) forming an intermediate dimer. Such a model justifies the inclusion of small precursors that conciliate a satisfactory reproduction of SVF sensitivity to strain rate, while retaining the quantitative accuracy of SVF prediction. The nucleation and condensation rates sensitivities are found to be regulated by the presence of the dimer to maintain the right balance with the upstream dimerization process. The heterogeneous collision model helps generalize the procedure and makes the model more adaptable to different kinetic mechanisms. Details about the inclusion of temperature-dependent sticking coefficients are also provided and found to be pivotal for a correct synergistic prediction of SVF trends and PAHs sensitivities to strain rate. The integration of important features in the soot nucleation model allows a generalized soot model free of empirical corrective factors, capturing the correct sensitivity to strain rates. Its ease of implementation and low computational cost make it suitable for turbulent flame simulations. Copyright © 2022 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: An accurate observational dataset of the size-resolved concentration of mineral dust particles in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and cryosphere is needed for investigating the effect of mineral dust on the climate with earth system models. However, automated measurements of dust particles remain challenging due to the complexities of the physicochemical properties (e.g., shape and mineralogy) of individual dust particles and the difficulties in discriminating dust from other particulate components (e.g., black carbon). Here, we suggest the use of complex forward-scattering amplitude data obtained by the single particle extinction and scattering (SPES) method as a low-cost optical approach for identification and quantification of silicate (aluminosilicates + quartz) particles, the major particulate component of desert dust. We focus here on the submicron particle-size range to challenge the robust identification of wavelength or smaller scale dust solely according to the principle of elastic light scattering. The two-dimensional nature of the complex scattering amplitude data allows us to identify silicate-dominant particles in waterborne dust samples and discriminate them from light-absorbing particulate components (e.g., hematite). We demonstrate that the two-dimensional dataspace of the complex amplitude allows an accurate retrieval of the particle-size distribution of silicate particles thanks to the simultaneous retrieval of the particle’s effective refractive index. We discuss some notable differences in our results from those retrieved from conventional elastic light scattering approaches. Copyright © 2022 American Association for Aerosol Research
