Effect of 5-isopropyltropolone on the adrenergic responses of the isolated guinea-pig atria
Creators: name: Ko, Cecilia Wai Yin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: 5-Isopropyltropolone(gamma-thujaplicin) is one of the three isomeric isopropyltropolones found in the heartwood of western red cedar(Thuja plicata D. Don). The tropolones as a class have been shown to be inhibitors of the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase(COMT). The effect of this tropolone on the responses of the isolated guinea-pig atria to a number of sympathomimetic amines has been studied. Gamma-thujaplicin was used in the form of water soluble sodium salt(T-Na). T-Na itself was found to possess a slow but prolonged stimulating effect on the atria. In the presence of T-Na greater than 0.4 mcg./ml, both the positive inotropic and chronotropic effects of all of the sympathomimetic amines studied were increased. In the case of the short acting catechol amines, prolongation of these responses was also produced. The effect of T-Na on the responses to the adrenergic amines was compared with that of cocaine and ethylenedxa-minetetraacetic acid(EDTA). Potentiation of the responses to the adrenergic stimuli by T-Na and the last two agents appeared to follow a similar dose-response pattern although T-Na was twice as potent. Potentiation by T-Na of responses to the direct acting catechol amines was not affected by reserpinization. When used in place of EDTA for the repletion of norepinephrine stores in reserpinized atria, T-Na has been proved to be more effective than the former agent in retarding the oxidation of norepinephrine. The effect of histamine on the isolated atria was also studied. In a low concentration (0.2-0. 4mcg/ml) histamine stimulated the atria to a prolonged response that can only be terminated by changing the bathing fluid. The response of the atria to histamine was neither affected by the presence of a high concentration of antihistamine (3mcg./ml), nor was it blocked by the pre-addition of a beta-receptor blocking agent. Cocaine and pyrogallol had no effect on the histamine induced response. Therefore it is not likely that norepinephrine is involved in the response of the atria to histamine. In the presence of T-Na, however, the response to histamine was increased in the normal preparation, but T-Na had little or no effect on the histamine induced response in reserpinized atria. These results together with the fact that EDTA potentiated the action of sympathomimetic amines in a similar manner to T-Na do not support the assumption that T-Na potentiation of adrenergic responses is due to COMT inhibition. It would appear that T-Na produces like EDTA, a non-specific sensitization of the atria muscle. This mechanism is not clear and no evidence has been found to indicate that it is due to a general depletion of ions as a result of the chelating action of these compounds.
title: The Effect of Protective Materials on the Overwintering of Hardy Annuals, Candytuft and Stocks
Creators: name: Burningham, Melvin S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1966

description: Many hardy annual flowers will live through the winter if there is sufficient snow protection. Since snow cover is not consistent from year to year it has been suggested that hardy annuals planted in late summer and provided with some kind of protection before severe freezing begins will live through the winter successfully. Not only would this enable plants to bloom four to six weeks earlier, but would also enable gardeners to utilize flowers not commonly grown in northern Utah.
The “Necessity” of Democracy for Sustainable Development: A Comparison between the USA and Cuba
Creators: name: Rand, Marcus
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2014

description: Democracy is associated with, and often stated as a condition for, sustainable development. A comparison of Cuba and the United States shows that sustainable development can exist and grow in countries that do not possess a democratic form of governance. The results of the comparison indicate that, to promote sustainable development on a wider scale, it is necessary to focus on the values embedded in the dignity of humankind. To promote such values, it is imperative to present sustainable development as a set of values linked to the rights and dignity of humankind, not as the sole offspring of democratic ideology.

title: An Assessment of the Level of Awareness of Utah Public School Special Educators Concerning the State's Child Abuse Reporting Laws and Procedures
Creators: name: Riddle, Charles Guy
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: An assessment was made to determine the level of awareness among Utah public school special educators concerning the state's child abuse reporting laws and procedures. The assessment was made with a questionnaire developed by the author and mailed to those teachers involved with programs for the learning disabled, the emotionally disturbed, and the trainable and educable mentally retarded. Accompanying each questionnaire was a letter of transmittal and a self-addressed, stamped, return envelope. Two mailings were utilized, fourteen days apart, to achieve a useable 81.9% return.
The data collected showed the following: (1) More than half of the population knew only one of nine salient and important points of Utah's child abuse statutes, and for that one question only 57.2% knew the correct answer. (2) Slightly more than half of the population claimed to have ever been exposed to the subject of child abuse. (3) About 2/3 of the population claimed to have suspected cases of child abuse. (4) About 1/4 of the population claimed to have reported cases of child abuse.

description: Here, we reported a haplotype-resolved and telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of M. acuminata using PacBio HiFi reads, Nanopore ultra-long reads and high-covered Hi-C data. This assembly represented a significantly high-quality reference assessed by contiguity (contig N50: 16.53Mb and 18.58Mb; LAI: 20.18 and 19.48), completeness (BUSCOs: 98.57% and 98.57%), and correctness (QV: 45.97 and 46.12). All centromeres and 36 of 44 telomeres had been captured. The mapping rates of HiFi and Illumina reads both exceeded 99.80%. In total, 40,889 and 38,269 protein-coding genes were annotated in the two haploid assemblies, respectively, of which 9.56% and 3.37% were newly annotated compared with previous databases. Gene BUSCOs reached up to 89.41% and 90.27%, respectively. Through comparing our assembly and the previously published genome of M. acuminata, we identified two large translocation regions with length of 3 Mb and 10 Mb, which were further confirmed by Hi-C heatmap and targeted-PCR gel electrophoresis. This haplotype-resolved and telomere-to-telomere reference genome of M. acuminata provides an excellent resource for further understanding the mechanisms of subgenome evolution, domestication history, and genetic breeding of banana.
Unsustainable Development in the Mekong: The Price of Hydropower
Creators: name: Ho, Ezra
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2014

description: Since the first Earth Summit, “sustainable development” has entered the lexicon of development and global change. However, far from being useful in guiding socially and environmentally sensitive development, sustainable development has remained an elusive notion. The recent conceptualisation of a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), replacing the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) shows promise of a framework to unify and operationalise the concept of “sustainable development”. Examining hydropower development in the socially diverse and ecologically complex Mekong River basin, I illustrate the challenges for sustainable development. By using the SDG framework, I highlight the unsustainable trajectory of development in the Mekong basin.

description: Task and motion planning (TAMP) algorithms have been developed to help robots plan behaviors in discrete and continuous spaces. Robots face complex real-world scenarios, where it is hardly possible to model all objects or their physical properties for robot planning (e.g., in kitchens or shopping centers). In this paper, we define a new object-centric TAMP problem, where the TAMP robot does not know object properties (e.g., size and weight of blocks). We then introduce Task-Motion Object-Centric planning ({\bf TMOC}), a grounded TAMP algorithm that learns to ground objects and their physical properties with a physics engine. TMOC is particularly useful for those tasks that involve dynamic complex robot-multi-object interactions that can hardly be modeled beforehand. We have demonstrated and evaluated TMOC in simulation and using a real robot. Results show that TMOC outperforms competitive baselines from the literature in cumulative utility.
Universal Development Goals for This Millennium
Creators: name: Lempert, David
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2014

description: This essay uses established United Nations treaties and agreements on human “development” and progress, that were part of the post World War II consensus, as a basis for rediscovering and reaffirming those “universal development goals” that were intended to be the measure of “development” success within all of the world’s countries and that can be recognized again as the U.N. sets its agenda and measures for post-2015 “development goals”. The author notes how the U.N.’s “Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)” established for 2001 to 2015, abandoned the earlier global consensus to substitute a narrower vision duplicating the “civilizing mission” of European colonialism. This approach undermined global aspirations and substituted a vision of homogeneity and basic needs with no possibility for progress. Current attempts to “fix” the failures of the MDGs with “Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” continue to subvert the earlier agreements. The 13 principles for development that the international community outlined as the basis of humanity’s development vision after World War II can serve as the basis for contemporary "Universal Development Goals.”

description: This PhD aimed to investigate the impact of sleep in pregnancy have on dietary and physiological outcomes. This thesis investigated the impact of sleep in pregnancy from a theoretical, observational and interventional approach. Results showed that sleep quality in pregnancy was associated with poorer nutritional intake and increased risk of pregnancy complications. However, it is currently unclear how to support women to improve sleep quality in pregnancy. Supporting women to improve sleeping behaviour in pregnancy is a novel and accessible method of improving the health of both mother and baby and should be a priority for future research.
Gobal entanglement and double occupancy in many-electron states

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The entanglement in many-electron states is investigated using a global entanglement measure, viz. average site mixedness. We have examined metallic states of noninteracting electrons, Nagaoka and Gutzwiller states of strongly-correlated electrons, and superconducting states. Uncorrelated metallic states at half filling seem to maximize entanglement, as these states optimize the number of holes, the number of doubly-occupied sites. Entanglement is calculated explicitly for Gutzwiller-projected many-electron states in one dimension, which have less entanglement as double occupancy is inhibited in these states. Entanglement in superconducting states, which tend to promote double occupancy, is calculated as a function of the energy gap, and found to be lower than the metallic state entanglement. There is a possibility of a regime with a nonzero single-site concurrence depending on the energy gap.

description: The paper discusses the problem of the orientation of galaxies in groups in the Local Supercluster (LSC). The existence of the preferred orientation of galaxy group is shown. We found that the orientation of galaxy groups in the Local Supercluster in the scale till about 20 Mpc is strongly correlated with the distribution of neighbouring groups. The line joining the two brightest galaxies is in alignment with both the group major axes and the direction toward the centre of the LSC, i.e. Virgo cluster. These correlations suggest that two brightest galaxies were formed in filaments of matter directed towards the protosupercluster centre. Afterwards, the hierarchical clustering leads to aggregation of galaxies around these two galaxies. Our results are in agreement with the predictions of numerical simulations.

Year: 1975

description: The purpose of this paper is to project the demand for housing due to oil shale development in Uintah County, Utah. An overview of the present housing conditions is presented to give a better understanding of the housing situation as it exists at the present time. The demand for housing due to oil shale development is based upon a set of assumptions which was derived from data collected by the author and from a review of the literature.
The demand for all housing units due to oil shale is estimated by subtracting the working wives of the employees from local service employment. The demand by type of structure (single, wife-family, multiple-family, and mobile homes) is estimated by making some assumptions about the types of housing each employment group (construction, operation, and lo cal service) will demand.

description: This thesis examined dietary sodium intake and urine and sweat losses in endurance athletes. Athletes believe they need more sodium than non-athletes because of exercise sweat losses, and most plan to consume more in the days before competition. The amount of sodium endurance athletes consume on non-training days is similar to the general population. Increasing sodium intake results in greater sweat sodium losses during endurance exercise, but the difference between usual and high sodium diets is unlikely to be practically important. Finally, the effect on endurance performance of consuming sodium during exercise is unclear and requires further research.

description: We reinvestigate the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) gravitational lens B1152+199 using archived Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data. A consistent luminosity ratio within effective radius between the host galaxy and the X-galaxy is measured from HST tri-band images, which leads to a mass ratio between the two galaxies as $r_b\sim 2$. To determine the role of the X-galaxy in the lens system, we modelled the dual-lens system with constraints from the VLBI-resolved jet components and the HST images. The 8.4-GHz global-VLBI data currently provide the most stringent constraints to the mass model, especially to the radial power-law slope. The optimized models for this two-image three-component radio lens favour a steeper-than-isothermal inner slope. The jet bending in image B was also investigated and it turned out to be rather a misalignment than a curvature. The goodness of fit indicates that the role of the X-galaxy is crucial in the lens system if three pairs of resolved jet components are to be fitted. When we imported the optimal model from radio constraints to optical modelling with the HST tri-band data, the optimization kept the consistency of the optimal model and successfully reproduced the features observed in the HST images. This implies that the diffuse emission discovered in the HST images is actually a detection of the secondary lensing effects from the companion lens.

description: Dear Readers, It is, as always, my absolute pleasure to bring you to the newest issue of Consilience: The Journal of Sustainable Development. For our twelfth issue, we have decided to do something a little different. In addition to five excellent new pieces, we are highlighting and re-publishing a selection of articles from past issues that we believe demonstrate the very Best of Consilience. As a journal, our foundational goal has been to promote interdisciplinary thinking and to expand the boundaries of sustainable development. Each of the pieces we included in this new volume in some way challenges us to approach a topic we thought we understood in a new way, suggests alternative perspectives we may have failed to consider. From ecological agriculture to health care policy to psychosocial approaches to poverty reduction, our authors have continually helped us reassess what pursuing sustainable development truly entails. Our featured new pieces also promote unique and important perspectives on contemporary issues in sustainable development. Dr. Gumbo weighs the opportunties and challenges of using municipal solid waste for energy generation in South Africa. Ho looks at the development patterns of the Mekong River Basin and determines that they are not sustainable and must be reevaluated. Lempert questions the adequacy of the UN’s Milennium Development Goals and boldly espouses a new set of goals that may better represent the true values of the international community. Ramirez analyzes our efforts to advance sustainable development from a project management perspective and provides useful insights for how such projects can be more effective going forward. Finally, Schipani weighs in on the air pollution crisis in Beijing, helping to elucidate a topic that resists a simple interpretation. I hope the new issue — both new and old pieces — stimulates and inspires you to think about these topics in a fresh and exciting way. While sustainable development can sometimes seem to focus on the problems our society faces, Consilience strives to advance perspectives and policy solutions that can point us towards a more hopeful, sustainable world. Enjoy Issue XII. Finally, it is also my great pleasure to officially pass on the role of Editor-in-Chief to Ryan Elivo, who will be guiding the journal for the next year. I am very excited to see the Journal continue to progress under his and the rest of our new board’s excellent leadership. Thank you all again for your continued support of Consilience.

description: Why do Equatorial Guinea and Angola face incredible economic deficits despite aggressive foreign investment in the extraction and sale of their hydrocarbon resources? Additionally, what role, if any, does international investment law play in reinforcing relationships of dependence and subordination between economies in the Global North and economies in the Global South? I answer these questions through an evaluation of the legal provisions of the bilateral investment treaty between the United Kingdom and Angola. I also analyze the provisions of Angola’s 2012 production sharing contract and Equatorial Guinea’s 2017 production sharing contract with multinational oil companies. By doing so, I demonstrate that international investment law allows foreign investors to enclave their investments from the local economy which separates the economy from the trickle-down benefits of foreign investment. I close with provisional notes on strategies Southern economies can use to exert more control over foreign investments in their territories.
title: Saponin Content and Some Pod and Blossom Characteristics of Alfalfa as Related to Seed Infestation by the Alfalfa Seed Chalcid
Creators: name: Morse, Ronald D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1966

description: The alfalfa seed chalcid, Bruchophagus ruddi Guss., is a jet-black hymenopteran wasp. The destructive nature of this pest has been recognized since the latter part of the nineteenth century. Every year thousands of acres of alfalfa seed are destroyed, with infestation reaching as high as 8 5 percent in some areas. In Utah the chalcid annually ruins from 5 to 25 percent of the alfalfa seed. Much of this damage goes unnoticed, as infested seed is commonly blown out in the trash during harvesting and cleaning operations . The extent of damage is not restricted to the United States. Wherever alfalfa is grown for seed, the alfalfa seed chalcid is known to have caused considerable reductions in seed yields.
title: Brisket Disease: Elemental and Oxalate Contents of Cattle Forages on Two Utah Cattle Allotments
Creators: name: Abaza, Raga Hafez I.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: It was hypothesized that the hypocalcemia, hyperphosphoremia, hyperkalemia and the mild hypochromic microcytic anemia which existed in cattle afflicted with brisket disease could be due, at least in part, to nutritional disturbances. A chemical composition study was made of seven monocotyledonous plant species that comprise a major part of the diet and nine dicotyledonous plant species consumed by cattle and known or suspected of being poisonous. The plants analyzed we re collected from two cattle grazing allotments, 7-mile and UM, in the Fishlake District, Fishlake National Forest, Utah, where brisket disease incidence is high. In each species the percentages on dry matter basis, of calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, copper, cobalt, iron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, chloride, phosphorus and oxalate were determined.
The first ten elements listed were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry by modifications of the methods used by Allan (1961 ) and David (1962). Oxalate content was determined by a modification of the method used by Dye (1959). Phosphorus content was determined colorimetrically by a modification of the method used by Fiske and SubbaRow (1925).
Chloride content was determined by a micro-titration method used at U.S. Salinity Laboratories.
Results obtained showed that the monocotyledonous plant species were low in calcium content when compared to values reported in the literature for grass and legume species and when compared to calcium requirement for beef cattle. The hypothesis that hypocalcemia in cattle afflicted with brisket disease is due to inadequate dietary intake gains support. The quantities of oxalates in the plant species studied were substantial enough to depress an already low dietary calcium level. It was not determined if oxalate ingested was of sufficient magnitude to cause renal and nervous lesions and erythrocyte destruction.
Potassium content of the monocot species in the plant study was high compared to plants that normally comprise cattle diets and hyperkalemia in cattle afflicted with brisket disease could be of dietary origin. Sodium content of each of the plants studied was below the level required to satisfy body needs and could not be responsible or contributary to the edema that occurs in brisket disease.
The plant species contained large quantities of iron, manganese and copper, much in excess of nutritional requirements. The anemia that accompanies brisket disease could be related to dietary excesses of these elements. Zinc requirement in cattle is not known, but if the requirement is comparable to that of swine, the plants studied provide an adequate quantity of this element. The contents of cobalt and molybdenum were too little to be measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. There may be a cobalt deficiency in cattle grazing these forages.
title: Effect of Cryotherapy in Preventing Blistering and Tearing of Hands of Utah State University Male Gymnasts

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cryotheapy versus no treatment in preventing blistering and tearing of the hands of twenty-six male college age gymnastics students at Utah State University.
The subjects were tested with a hand dynamometer to determine differences in grip strength between right and left hands. Two groups of thirteen subjects each were formed to equalize the differences in grip strength.
During the experimental period of four class sessions totaling two hours, subjects participated in various activities on the horizontal bar, parallel bars, and rings which rec.,ui red simultaneous gripping by both hands. Whenever a subject experienced a burning sensation in the skin of his hands, he went immediately to tn ice water bath (100 C) and soaked one hand for thirty seconds. One group treated only the stronger hand, while the other group treated only the weaker hard. After treatment, the hand was dried and workout continued.
When the skin tore on a subject's hand, he reported to the recorder and treated the tear by carefully trimming away a ll the loose skin. He was also encouraged to apply a disinfectant. The tear was measured and given a classification as to whether it was a 1st, 2nd, or 2rd degree tear, with a corresponding weighted value. Training continued unless the tear was serious.
The data was subjected to the t distribution test for significance to de!ermine whether the cryotherapy was successful in preventing tearing of the skin on the treated hand. The results of the t test indicated a significant reduction in the amount of tearing that occurred on the treated hands of the subjects . Results of the t test for two sample means showed that there was no significant difference whether a subject treated the weaker hand or the stronger hand at the .05 level of significance.
title: The Status and Administration of Precision Drill Teams in Selected Utah Junior High Schools

description: Data for this study was gathered by questionnaires completed by thirteen drill team directors, thirty-eight women physical education department heads at schools not having a drill team, fifty-six girls who were members of the precision drill team at their school and 416 girls who were not members of a precision drill team.
Drill team directors indicated strong feelings of success as to the organization and administration of their groups and also were positive as to the merits of precision drill teams in the junior high schools. The majority of the physical education department heads did not desire that a precision drill team be organized at their school although many indicated that they realized some of the merits of such groups. Administrative philosophy appeared to be the biggest reason why these schools did not include a drill team in the school curriculum. Drill team members believed strongly in the benefits of a junior high school drill team, indicating their feelings of success and personal satisfaction as a result of their participation. The majority of non-drill team members indicated that they would like to be a drill team member and showed strong support for the drill team at their school.
Findings indicated that all of the respondents were in harmony as to the merits of a drill team and nearly any school desiring a drill team would be able to with the only possible restriction being lack of facilities.

description: In order to demonstrate that atomic Fermi gas is a good experimental reality in studying unsolved problems in frustrated interacting-spin systems, we numerically examine the Mott core state emerged by loading two-component atomic Fermi gases on triangular optical lattices. Consequently, we find that plateau like structures are observable in the Mott core polarization as a function of the population imbalance. These plateau states are caused by a flexibility that the surrounding metallic region absorbs the excess imbalance to keep the plateau states inside the Mott core. We also find spin patterns peculiar to the plateau states inside the Mott core.

description: Since the first experimental realization of Bose-Einstein condensation in cold atomic gases in 1995 there has been a surge of activity in this field. Ingenious experiments have allowed us to probe matter close to zero temperature and reveal some of the fascinating effects quantum mechanics has bestowed on nature. It is a challenge for mathematical physicists to understand these various phenomena from first principles, that is, starting from the underlying many-body Schrödinger equation. Recent progress in this direction concerns mainly equilibrium properties of dilute, cold quantum gases. We shall explain some of the results in this article, and describe the mathematics involved in understanding these phenomena. Topics include the ground state energy and the free energy at positive temperature, the effect of interparticle interaction on the critical temperature for Bose-Einstein condensation, as well as the occurrence of superfluidity and quantized vortices in rapidly rotating gases.

Genetic and environmental factors influencing growth in the chicken
Creators: name: Deland, Michael Campbell
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: A comparison was made of rates of growth and body weights between pre- and post-hatching stages of development of the chicken as affected by strains or strain crosses, egg storage, egg weights, time of hatch, sex and post-hatching nutritional environment. The interrelationships of these factors were also investigated. The results of the investigation indicate that practically all of the variation of six-week body weight in this data was successfully accounted for by the combined effects of six-week growth rate, hatching weight and embryonic growth rate between eight and twelve days. The data also indicate that gains in six-week body weight may be made by selecting for early growth rate without concomitant change in other traits. Hatching time, hatching weight and post-hatching growth appear to be affected by egg storage only if some form of stress is present during incubation. In the absence of stress it appears that a compensatory increase in rate of embryonic growth overcomes the effect of a delayed initiation of growth caused by egg storage. A significant influence of sex on embryo weight in favour of the male embryos was observed.

description: Ehhinokokoos (echinococcosis) on tänapäevani oluline tervishoiuprobleem. Haigus esineb endeemiliselt arenenud loomakasvatuspiirkondades kogu maailmas ja seda põhjustab parasiit Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus vogeli või Echinococcus multilocularis. Ehhinokokoosi korral tekivad elundites ühe- või mitmekambrilised põistangud ehk tsüstid. Kõige sagedamini paiknevad tsüstid maksas  ja/või kopsus. Tsüstid suurenevad pikkamööda ja võivad saavutada 15–20 cm läbimõõdu. Haigus progresseerub väga aeglaselt ja selle diagnoosimine on keeruline. Parimaks on osutunud kirurgiline ravi.

description: We present the optical and X-ray properties of four clusters recently discovered by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) using the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE). The four clusters are located in one of the common survey areas of the southern sky that is also being targeted by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and imaged by the CTIO Blanco 4-m telescope. Based on publicly available griz optical images and XMM-Newton and ROSAT X-ray observations we analyse the physical properties of these clusters and obtain photometric redshifts, luminosities, richness and mass estimates. Each cluster contains a central elliptical whose luminosity is consistent with SDSS cluster studies. Our mass estimates are well above the nominal detection limit of SPT and ACT; the new SZE clusters are very likely massive systems with M>~5x10^14 M_sun.

description: From bird flocks to fish schools, animal groups often seem to react to environmental perturbations as if of one mind. Most studies in collective animal behaviour have aimed to understand how a globally ordered state may emerge from simple behavioural rules. Less effort has been devoted to understanding the origin of collective response, namely the way the group as a whole reacts to its environment. Yet collective response is the adaptive key to survivor, especially when strong predatory pressure is present. Here we argue that collective response in animal groups is achieved through scale-free behavioural correlations. By reconstructing the three-dimensional position and velocity of individual birds in large flocks of starlings, we measured to what extent the velocity fluctuations of different birds are correlated to each other. We found that the range of such spatial correlation does not have a constant value, but it scales with the linear size of the flock. This result indicates that behavioural correlations are scale-free: the change in the behavioural state of one animal affects and is affected by that of all other animals in the group, no matter how large the group is. Scale-free correlations extend maximally the effective perception range of the individuals, thus compensating for the short-range nature of the direct inter-individual interaction and enhancing global response to perturbations. Our results suggest that flocks behave as critical systems, poised to respond maximally to environmental perturbations.

description: We report superconducting (SC) properties of stoichiometric LiFeAs (Tc = 17 K) studied by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES). Although the vortex lattice exhibits no long-range order, well-defined SANS rocking curves indicate better ordering than in chemically doped 122-compounds. The London penetration depth of 210 nm, determined from the magnetic field dependence of the form factor, is compared to that calculated from the ARPES band structure with no adjustable parameters. Its temperature dependence is best described by a single isotropic SC gap of 3.0 meV, which agrees with the ARPES value of 3.1 meV and corresponds to the ratio 2Delta/kTc = 4.1, approaching the weak-coupling limit predicted by the BCS theory. This classifies LiFeAs as a weakly coupled single-gap superconductor, similar to conventional metals.

The ratio of normal state to superconducting state of spin lattice relaxation rate of unconventional superconductors

description: In this research, we derive a simple expression for the ratio of normal state superconducting state of spin lattice relaxation rate of unconventional superconductors from the BCS weak-coupling equation. The unconventional superconductors we consider have three types of order parameters as d-wave, 3He A-phase and p-wave 3-dimensional order parameter that had been done before by Parker and Haas[7].After using some numerical approximations and some boundary conditions, we can find the ratio of normal state to superconducting state of spin lattice relaxation rate in power series of temperature dependent order parameters and temperature. Our numerical calculations show the coherence peak below critical temperature clearly that are consistent with Parker and Haas[7]. These results do not agree with the believed that the coherence peak is the only property of s-wave superconductor. However from our calculation, we can conclude that the unconventional superconductors can show the coherence peaks.
