description: We present the first extensive X-ray study of the North-America and Pelican star-forming region (NGC7000/IC5070), with the aim of finding and characterizing its young stellar population. X-ray data from Chandra (four pointings) and XMM-Newton (seven pointings) were reduced and source detection was performed on each image. We complement the X-ray data with optical and near-IR data from the IPHAS, UKIDSS, and 2MASS catalogs, and with other published optical and Spitzer IR data. More than 700 X-ray sources are detected, the majority of which have an optical/NIR counterpart. This allows to identify young stars in different stages of formation. Less than 30% of X-ray sources are identified with a previously known young star. We argue that most X-ray sources with an optical/NIR counterpart, except perhaps for a few tens at near-zero reddening, are likely candidate members of the star-forming region, on the basis of both their optical/NIR magnitudes and colors, and of X-ray properties like spectrum hardness or flux variations. They are characterized by a wide range of extinction, and sometimes near-IR excesses, both of which prevent derivation of accurate stellar parameters. The optical color-magnitude diagram suggests ages between 1-10~Myrs. The X-ray members have a very complex spatial distribution with some degree of subclustering, qualitatively similar to that of previously known members. The distribution of X-ray sources relative to IR-excess objects found with Spitzer is sometimes suggestive of sequential star formation, especially near the Gulf of Mexico region, probably triggered by the O5 star illuminating the whole region. Around this latter star no enhancement in the young star density is found, in agreement with previous results. We also determine the local optical/IR reddening law, and compute an updated reddening map of the entire region.

description: Treatment with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF) increases neutrophil (PMN) count and enhances PMN function in the periparturient cow. It was hypothesized that prepartum undernutrition might reduce the effect of a commercial recombinant bovine G-CSF product (pegbovigrastim; Imrestor (IMR), Elanco) on PMN count and function. Hence the objective of this study was to test the effect of undernutrition for 1 month prior to calving on the response to IMR.

description: A new flavonoid named (2S)-7,4′-dimethoxyl-6-(2″,3″-epoxy-3″-methylbutyl)flavanone (1), along with five known compounds (2–6), were isolated from the EtOAc-soluble extract of the stem bark of Maackia amurensis. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods. All compounds were evaluated for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities in vitro. Among them, compound 5 showed the highest inhibitory activity on NO production in RAW264.7 cells stimulated by LPS with IC50 value of 59.0 ± 1.5 µM. Meanwhile, compounds 1–6 exhibited varying antioxidant activities through DPPH, ABTS free radical-scavenging and FRAP assays.

This provides the first evidence supporting the higher-genus Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence for the quintic threefold, and exhibits the first instance of the "genus zero controls higher genus" principle, in the sense of Givental's quantization formalism, for non-semisimple cohomological field theories.

description: Observations of supernova remnants (SNRs) are a powerful tool for investigating the later stages of stellar evolution, the properties of the ambient interstellar medium, and the physics of particle acceleration and shocks. For a fraction of SNRs, multi-wavelength coverage from radio to ultra high-energies has been provided, constraining their contributions to the production of Galactic cosmic rays. Although radio emission is the most common identifier of SNRs and a prime probe for refining models, high-resolution images at frequencies above 5 GHz are surprisingly lacking, even for bright and well-known SNRs such as IC443 and W44. In the frameworks of the Astronomical Validation and Early Science Program with the 64-m single-dish Sardinia Radio Telescope, we provided, for the first time, single-dish deep imaging at 7 GHz of the IC443 and W44 complexes coupled with spatially-resolved spectra in the 1.5-7 GHz frequency range. Our images were obtained through on-the-fly mapping techniques, providing antenna beam oversampling and resulting in accurate continuum flux density measurements. The integrated flux densities associated with IC443 are S_1.5GHz = 134 +/- 4 Jy and S_7GHz = 67 +/- 3 Jy. For W44, we measured total flux densities of S_1.5GHz = 214 +/- 6 Jy and S_7GHz = 94 +/- 4 Jy. Spectral index maps provide evidence of a wide physical parameter scatter among different SNR regions: a flat spectrum is observed from the brightest SNR regions at the shock, while steeper spectral indices (up to 0.7) are observed in fainter cooling regions, disentangling in this way different populations and spectra of radio/gamma-ray-emitting electrons in these SNRs.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The increase in complexity of catch-at-age analyses undertaken by ICES assessment working groups coupled to enlargement of the working groups and the consequential increase in the number of stocks to be assessed has resulted in working groups that, at times, are unable to address “additional” terms of reference. Such additional terms of reference recently included in the case of the Working Group on the Assessment of Demersal Stocks in the North Sea and Skagerrak (WGNSSK), an investigation of the recent raft of gear-based technical measured aimed at reducing fishing mortality principally on the North Sea cod stock, but also for North Sea haddock and whiting too. Due to its existing workload and operational structure, WGNSSK has failed to do this. This paper seeks to remediate that problem in part, through an evaluation of the potential impacts of a number of UK national and EU international gear regulations. A brief analysis of the historical impact of the gradual move from 80mm to 100mm minimum cod-end mesh sizes in towed demersal roundfish gears between 1987 and 1992 is also presented.

description: One of the most remarkable predictions of the general theory of relativity is the existence of black-hole "photonspheres", compact null hypersurfaces on which massless particles can orbit the central black hole. We prove that every spherically-symmetric asymptotically flat black-hole spacetime is characterized by a photonsphere whose radius is bounded from above by $r_γ \leq 3M$, where $M$ is the total ADM mass of the black-hole spacetime. It is shown that hairy black-hole configurations conform to this upper bound. In particular, the null circular geodesic of the (bald) Schwarzschild black-hole spacetime saturates the bound.

description: Clinical endometritis (CE) is a common uterine disorder in high producing dairy cows that negatively impacts reproductive performance, thus diminishing profitability and sustainability. Reducing pathogenic bacteria load and uterine inflammation while enhancing immune defense are the general principle for endometritis therapy. An in vitro study has shown mannose to inhibit the adhesion of bacteria to the epithelial cells of the equine endometrium (King et al, AJVR 61:446, 2000). The use of PGF2alpha (PG) is generally recommended, but the lack of concrete experimental evidences makes it difficult to promote an effective therapy approach for CE. Therefore, the use of non-pharmaceutical antimicrobial therapy (50% dextrose in water) that targets the uterine environment rather than the bacterial pathogen itself may be a viable and cost-effective strategy for conventional and organic dairy cows. The objective of this study was to determine whether an intrauterine flushing with a hypertonic solution (50% dextrose in water) of lactating dairy cows diagnosed with CE result in comparable fertility to conventional therapy (parental ceftiofur) as opposed to non-treated CE animals (control group) and healthy cows (without CE).

description: We describe a two-orbital tight-binding model with bases belonging to the $Γ_8$ quartet. The model captures several characteristics of the Fermiology unravelled by the recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopic (ARPES) measurements on cerium hexaboride CeB$_6$ samples cleaved along different high-symmetry crystallographic directions, which includes the ellipsoid-like Fermi surfaces (FSs) with major axes directed along $Γ$-X. We calculate various multipolar susceptibilities within the model and identify the susceptibility that shows the strongest divergence in the presence of standard onsite Coulomb interactions and discuss it's possible implication and relevance with regard to the signature of strong ferromagnetic correlations existent in various phases as shown by the recent experiments.

In the present study, fusidic acid (1), and its known analogs 16-desacetylfusidic acid (2) and 3β,20-dihydroxy-protosta-16,24-dien-29-oic acid (4), together with one new derivative acremonidiol A (3), were isolated from the endophytic fungus, Acremonium pilosum F47. Their structures were determined by MS and NMR. The spectroscopic data of 2 are firstly reported here. The antibacterial efficacies of 1-4 were evaluated against four selected Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria. As expected, only compound 1 showed strong inhibitory effect on Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis.

description: This paper discusses spacecraft control using variable-speed CMGs. A new operational concept for VSCMGs is proposed. This new concept makes it possible to approximate the complex nonlinear system by a linear time-varying system (LTV). As a result, an effective control system design method, Model Predictive Control (MPC) using robust pole assignment, can be used to design the spacecraft control system using VSCMGs. A nice feature of this design is that the control system does not have any singular point. A design example is provided. The simulation result shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Analytic Expressions for the Inner-Rim Structure of Passively Heated Protoplanetary Disks

description: We analytically derive the expressions for the structure of the inner region of protoplanetary disks based on the results from the recent hydrodynamical simulations. The inner part of a disk can be divided into four regions: dust-free region with gas temperature in the optically thin limit, optically thin dust halo, optically thick condensation front and the classical optically thick region in order from the inside. We derive the dust-to-gas mass ratio profile in the dust halo using the fact that partial dust condensation regulates the temperature to the dust evaporation temperature. Beyond the dust halo, there is an optically thick condensation front where all the available silicate gas condenses out. The curvature of the condensation surface is determined by the condition that the surface temperature must be nearly equal to the characteristic temperature $\sim 1200{\,\rm K}$. We derive the mid-plane temperature in the outer two regions using the two-layer approximation with the additional heating by the condensation front for the outermost region. As a result, the overall temperature profile is step-like with steep gradients at the borders between the outer three regions. The borders might act as planet traps where the inward migration of planets due to gravitational interaction with the gas disk stops. The temperature at the border between the two outermost regions coincides with the temperature needed to activate magnetorotational instability, suggesting that the inner edge of the dead zone must lie at this border. The radius of the dead-zone inner edge predicted from our solution is $\sim$ 2-3 times larger than that expected from the classical optically thick temperature.

description: Herd size is frequently associated with differences in reproductive management strategies such as the use of fixed-time AI (TAI) and outcomes such as conception rate (CR), pregnancy risk (PR), and stillborn and abortion percentages. Although reproductive outcomes may also differ by geographic region, they may be used as benchmarks to assess reproductive management success within a dairy. In this study, reproductive outcomes were evaluated to determine overall CR, PR, stillborn, and abortion percentages and to establish benchmarks for the most effective 20% of operations.

description: Cows that fail to conceive on several attempts are a problem for the producer. Repeat breeder (RB) cows fall into this category. The economic losses associated with RB cows are considerable: increased veterinary expenses, increased insemination costs, reduced productivity and losses due to involuntary culling. Diseases of the reproductive system lead to a reduction in fertility. The magnitude of the effect on reproductive performance depends on the severity of the condition, the timing of the condition and herd control practices. The large number of uterine problems and the great variation in their clinical presentation complicates diagnosis. One way of simplifying the classification of conditions is to view clinical metritis, endometritis and pyometritis as variations of the same disease and to combine them into one diagnostic category: metritis complex. Dystocia, retained placenta (RP), metritis, and endometritis result from mechanical and/or functional damage to the uterus and significantly decrease fertility.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.One of the basic elements of the Baltic cod recovery plan adopted by IBSFC is the improvement in gear selectivity. Changes were introduced in the technical measures applied to Baltic cod fisheries during the 2002. These changes were made on the basis of the experimentally estimated selectivity parameters for the new trawl cod-ends. The preliminary observations on implementation the new gears show that the minimum length of fish is being retained is not consistent with the experimentally estimated selectivity characteristics of new trawls. To predict the consequences followed introduction of different trawl cod-ends into the fishery we conducted a series of researches in 1995, 2001-2002 to study selectivity of bottom trawls in cod and flounder fisheries in the East Baltic Sea. Selective properties for trawl cod-ends of different type are determined basing methods of theoretical assessment for trawl cod-ends selectivity developed in AtlantNIRO by Yu. Kadilnikov, and a series of experiments carried out on board the commercial vessels. The employed model of cod-end selectivity has shown a significant convergence with experimental data. Basing on information of mesh shape and cod biometric characteristics the model allows to provide the preliminary estimation of trawl cod-end selectivity, thereby saving the time of sea trials. Seasonal variations in cod exterior and relevant changes in trawl selectivity parameters were used for the adaptation the theoretical model to estimation the selectivity characteristics. The results of theoretical and experimental estimations are given.

description: There has been a recent interest in cutting planes generated from two or more rows of the optimal simplex tableau. One can construct examples of integer programs for which a single cutting plane generated from two rows dominates the entire split closure. Motivated by these theoretical results, we study the effect of adding a family of cutting planes generated from two rows on a set of instances from the MIPLIB library. The conclusion of whether these cuts are competitive with GMI cuts is very sensitive to the experimental setup. In particular, we consider the issue of reliability versus aggressiveness of the cut generators, an issue that is usually not addressed in the literature.

description: Alginate, a kind of linear acidic polysaccharide, consists of α-L-guluronate (G) and β-D-mannuronate (M). Both alginate and its degradation products (alginate oligosaccharides) possess abundant biological activities such as antioxidant activity, antitumor activity, and antimicrobial activity. Therefore, alginate and alginate oligosaccharides have great value in food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural fields. Alginate lyase can degrade alginate into alginate oligosaccharides via the β-elimination reaction. It plays an important role in marine carbon recycling and the deep utilization of brown algae. Elucidating the structural features of alginate lyase can improve our knowledge of its catalytic mechanisms. With the development of structural analysis techniques, increasing numbers of alginate lyases have been characterized at the structural level. Hence, it is essential and helpful to summarize and discuss the up-to-date findings. In this review, we have summarized progress on the structural features and the catalytic mechanisms of alginate lyases. Furthermore, the molecular modification strategies and the applications of alginate lyases have also been discussed. This comprehensive information should be helpful to expand the applications of alginate lyases.

description: To precisely measure radon concentrations in purified air supplied to the Super-Kamiokande detector as a buffer gas, we have developed a highly sensitive radon detector with an intrinsic background as low as 0.33$\pm$0.07 mBq/m$^{3}$. In this article, we discuss the construction and calibration of this detector as well as results of its application to the measurement and monitoring of the buffer gas layer above Super-Kamiokande. In March 2013, the chilled activated charcoal system used to remove radon in the input buffer gas was upgraded. After this improvement, a dramatic reduction in the radon concentration of the supply gas down to 0.08 $\pm$ 0.07 mBq/m$^{3}$. Additionally, the Rn concentration of the in-situ buffer gas has been measured 28.8$\pm$1.7 mBq/m$^{3}$ using the new radon detector. Based on these measurements we have determined that the dominant source of Rn in the buffer gas arises from contamination from the Super-Kamiokande tank itself.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.During 1993 to 2001 several experiments were conducted to study the benefits and shortcomings of the main types of selective devices for trawl codend. Among them were the hard selection grids (Sort-X, Sort-V), soft selection grids (“German” conical-cylinder net device, “Russian” flexible net device), window panels (“Danish”, “Sweden” and “Polish” types, BACOMA window), etc. This paper presents some results of comparative experiments with different types of selective devices in comparison with standard trawl codend that have been carried out in the Baltic Sea. Using the underwater TV has given us the valuable data on behavioural patterns of cod at the final stages of capturing operations. In addition, special requirements for codends and their effect on the fish stocks and the future changes in fishery legislation are discussed.

description: Uterine infections are one of the major reproductive complications during postpartum. The antibiotics and antiseptic agents used in the treatment of postpartum infections can pose risk of residues in food, induce bacterial resistance, and increase financial cost and failure in defense mechanisms. Nowadays probiotics are frequently used for multiple purposes in humans and animals. Preventive treatment with probiotic products could decrease the use of antibiotics on dairy farms. The objective of this study was to compare the antagonistic properties of isolated vaginal lactic acid bacteria (LAB) against the most prevalent bacteria in uterine infections.

description: A novel β-1,4-xylosidase was identified from the genome of Bacteroides ovatus strain ATCC 8483 and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells. The molecular weight of recombinant enzyme named BoXyl43A was calculated to be 37.1 kDa. Using p-nitrophenyl-β-D-xylopyranoside (pNPβXyl) as substrate, BoXyl43A was most active at pH 7.0 and 35 °C. The enzyme could be activated by Mg2+ and Mn2+. The Km and Vmax of BoXyl43A against pNPβXyl were 1.71 ± 0.21 mM, 7.41 ± 0.81 μmol/min/mg, respectively. BoXyl43A hydrolyzed xylooligosaccharide to produce D-xylose as main product, indicating that BoXyl43A acted as an exo-β-1,4-xylosidase. The mixture of BoXyl43A and PoAbf62A (α-L-arabinofuranosidase) exhibited significant synergistic effects on the degradation of arabinoxylan. Therefore, BoXyl43A would be a useful tool to degrade hemicellulose.

description: Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in magnetic multilayers of type F1/f/F2, where two strongly ferromagnetic layers F1 and F2 are separated by a weakly magnetic spacer f with a compositional gradient along its thickness, is investigated. The method allows to detect the weak signal from the spacer in additional to the more pronounced and readily measured signal from the outer strongly-magnetic layers, and thereby study the properties of the spacer as well as the interlayer exchange interaction it mediates. Variable temperature FMR measurements, especially near the relevant Curie points, reveal a rich set of properties of the exchange interactions in the system. The obtained results are useful for designing and optimizing nanostructures with thermally-controlled magnetic properties.

description: Operation of an atomtronic battery is demonstrated where a finite-temperature Bose-Einstein condensate stored in one half of a double-well potential is coupled to an initially empty load well that is impedance matched by a resonant terminator beam. The atom number and temperature of the condensate are monitored during the discharge cycle, and are used to calculate fundamental properties of the battery. The discharge behavior is analyzed according to a Thévenin equivalent circuit that contains a finite internal resistance to account for dissipation in the battery. Battery performance at multiple discharge rates is characterized by the peak power output, and the current and energy capacities of the system.

description: We investigate the region of the nuclear chart around $A \simeq 70$ from a three-body perspective, where we compute reaction rates for the radiative capture of two protons. One key quantity is here the photon dissociation cross section for the inverse process where two protons are liberated from the borromean nucleus by photon bombardment. We find a number of peaks at low photon energy in this cross section where each peak is located at the energy corresponding to population of a three-body resonance. Thus, for these energies the decay or capture processes proceed through these resonances. However, the next step in the dissociation process still has the option of following several paths, that is either sequential decay by emission of one proton at a time with an intermediate two-body resonance as stepping stone, or direct decay into the continuum of both protons simultaneously. The astrophysical reaction rate is obtained by folding of the cross section as function of energy with the occupation probability for a Maxwell-Boltzmann temperature distribution. The reaction rate is then a function of temperature, and of course depending on the underlying three-body bound state and resonance structures. We show that a very simple formula at low temperature reproduces the elaborate numerically computed reaction rate.

Comparison of Long-term CIDR-based Estrous Synchronization Protocols on Estrous Response and Pregnancy Rates in Postpartum Beef Cows

description: Estrous synchronization and artificial insemination allow beef producers to maximize genetic improvement in their operations. However, many beef producers have been reluctant to incorporate this technology into their program due to the management requirements it entails. Therefore, any improvements to decrease time and/or labor inputs may increase the use of such technology. The CIDR-Select protocol is an effective method of synchronizing estrus in beef cows. This protocol involves 14 days treatment with a CIDR progesterone insert, GnRH treatment 12 days after CIDR removal, and treatment with prostaglandin F2alpha seven days after GnRH. The entire protocol requires over 33 days, from initial CIDR insertion to detection of estrus and insemination. Reducing the interval from CIDR removal to GnRH treatment would shorten the protocol and potentially make it more attractive for use by producers, providing effectiveness was maintained. The objective of this experiment was to characterize the estrous response and subsequent fertility of postpartum beef cows following synchronization utilizing the CIDR-Select protocol, in which the interval from CIDR removal to GnRH treatment was reduced from 12 to two days.

description: Nuclear cluster physics implicitly assumes a distinction between groups of degrees-of-freedom, that is the (frozen) intrinsic and (explicitly treated) relative cluster motion. We formulate a realistic and practical method to describe the coupled motion of these two sets of degrees-of-freedom. We derive a coupled set of differential equations for the system using the phenomenologically adjusted effective in-medium Skyrme type of nucleon-nucleon interaction. We select a two-nucleon plus core system where the mean-field approximation corresponding to the Skyrme interaction is used for the core. A hyperspherical adiabatic expansion of the Faddeev equations is used for the relative cluster motion. We shall specifically compare both the structure and the decay mechanism found from the traditional three-body calculations with the result using the new boundary condition provided by the full microscopic structure at small distance. The extended Hilbert space guaranties an improved wave function compared to both mean-field and three-body solutions. We shall investigate the structures and decay mechanism of $^{22}$C ($^{20}$C+n+n). In conclusion, we have developed a method combining nuclear few- and many-body techniques without losing the descriptive power of each approximation at medium-to-large distances and small distances respectively. The coupled set of equations are solved self-consistently, and both structure and dynamic evolution are studied.

description: We study the self energies of all particles which appear in a lattice regularization of supersymmetric QCD (${\cal N}=1$). We compute, perturbatively to one-loop, the relevant two-point Green's functions using both the dimensional and the lattice regularizations. Our lattice formulation employs the Wilson fermion acrion for the gluino and quark fields. The gauge group that we consider is $SU(N_c)$ while the number of colors, $N_c$ and the number of flavors, $N_f$, are kept as generic parameters. We have also searched for relations among the propagators which are computed from our one-loop results. We have obtained analytic expressions for the renormalization functions of the quark field ($Z_ψ$), gluon field ($Z_u$), gluino field ($Z_λ$) and squark field ($Z_{A_\pm}$). We present here results from dimensional regularization, relegating to a forthcoming publication our results along with a more complete list of references. Part of the lattice study regards also the renormalization of quark bilinear operators which, unlike the non-supersymmetric case, exhibit a rich pattern of operator mixing at the quantum level.

description: The goal of this study was to provide a reliable predictive tool to detect subclinical cows at risk of PRMDs. Prepartum and parturient carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes in feces can identify cows at high risk of PRMDs, and may provide an economical method for early intervention to increase profit margins.
