description: The ATLAS experiment will undergo around the year 2025 a replacement of the tracker system in view of the high luminosity phase of the LHC (HL-LHC) with a new 5-layer pixel system. Thin planar pixel sensors are promising candidates to instrument the innermost region of the new pixel system, thanks to the reduced contribution to the material budget and their high charge collection efficiency after irradiation. The sensors of 50-150 $μ$m thickness, interconnected to FE-I4 read-out chips, have been characterized with radioactive sources and beam tests. In particular active edge sensors have been investigated. The performance of two different versions of edge designs are compared: the first with a bias ring, and the second one where only a floating guard ring has been implemented. The hit efficiency at the edge has also been studied after irradiation at a fluence of $10^{15}$ \neqcm. Highly segmented sensors will represent a challenge for the tracking in the forward region of the pixel system at HL-LHC. In order to reproduce the performance of 50x50 $μ$m$^2$ pixels at high pseudo-rapidity values, FE-I4 compatible planar pixel sensors have been studied before and after irradiation in beam tests at high incidence angles with respect to the short pixel direction. Results on the hit efficiency in this configuration are discussed for different sensor thicknesses.

description: Cloud computing is a rapidly growing paradigm that facilitates the ability for scalable and distributed graph drawing algorithms. Platforms such as Amazon Web Services offer virtually unlimited cloud resources in a pay-as-you-go fashion. Evidently, on demand availability of abundant resources accessible enables large scale processing in a cost-effective approach. There are numerous open source systems that provide distributed graph processing platforms. Frameworks such as Apache Giraph and Spark provide efficient tools for large-scale algorithms. Boundless cloud facilities create opportunities for optimisation methodologies for improving the efficient use of cloud services while concurrently reducing the overall cost. Research projects and business applications have turned towards cloud distributed processing. The ability to remain within budget constraints while maximising execution speeds is of the essence. Optimising resource scheduling and provisioning are the underlying fundamental ways of efficiently maximising processing times while reducing cost. Distributed algorithms such as graph drawing require large computational facilities to process graphs with millions of edges. In this research project, we aim to examine and introduce models to efficiently exploit cloud service abundance using graph drawing algorithms for scheduling and resource provisioning problems.

description: Meat of wild boars is not only known for high 137Cs activity concentrations but also for the remarkable constancy of these levels. Even decades after the Chernobyl accident, the 137Cs levels in wild boar meat in Central Europe have not declined but even partly increased. In the present study, we investigated an unusual hypothesis for this very unusual phenomenon: may the boars’ fat tissue act as a reservoir for radiocesium? We investigated fat and muscle tissues of four wild boars in Western Germany and found that the 137Cs concentrations in fat were in the range of 10–30% of the respective activities in muscle tissue. Hence, the hypothesis was refuted.

description: Heat stress (HS) has a negative impact on the health and performance of dairy cows, resulting in economic losses. Damage to the intestinal epithelium is the main cause of the adverse effects of heat stress on bovine health. This study investigated the repair capability of L-arginine (L-Arg) in reducing the adverse effects of HS on bovine intestinal epithelial cells (BIECs). BIECs were treated as follows: (1) control cells were cultured at 37 °C continuously and received no L-Arg; (2) cells in HS group were grown at 42 °C for 6 h followed by 12 h at 37 °C; and (3) the L-Arg group was cultured at 42 °C for 6 h, then treated with L-Arg at 37 °C for 12 h. HS disrupted redox homeostasis and reduced viability in BIECs, while treatment with L-Arg (6 mmol/L) for 12 h markedly reduced the negative effects of HS. L-Arg protected cells by preventing HS-induced changes in mitochondrial membrane-potential, inflammation, apoptosis-related gene expression and regulation of antioxidant enzymes. The above results indicated that L-Arg reduced the level of damage from HS in BIECs by lowering oxidant stress and inflammation, suggesting that L-Arg could be an effective dietary addition to protect cows from adverse intestinal effects caused by HS.

description: The standard interpretation of the phase diagram of type-II superconductors was developed in 1960s and has since been considered a well-established part of classical superconductivity. However, upon closer examination a number of fundamental issues arise that leads one to question this standard picture. To address these issues we studied equilibrium properties of niobium samples near and above the upper critical field Hc2 in parallel and perpendicular magnetic fields. The samples investigated were very high quality films and single crystal discs with the Ginzburg-Landau parameters 0.8 and 1.3, respectively. A range of complementary measurements have been performed, which include dc magnetometry, electrical transport, muSR spectroscopy and scanning Hall-probe microscopy. Contrarily to the standard scenario, we observed that a superconducting phase is present in the sample bulk above Hc2 and the field Hc3 is the same in both parallel and perpendicular fields. Our findings suggest that above Hc2 the superconducting phase forms filaments parallel to the field regardless on the field orientation. Near Hc2 the filaments preserve the hexagonal structure of the preceding vortex lattice of the mixed state and the filament density continuously falls to zero at Hc3. Our work has important implications for the correct interpretation of properties of type-II superconductors and can also be essential for practical applications of these materials.

description: Multi-genotype canopies are frequent in phenotyping experiments and are of increasing interest in agriculture. Radiation interception efficiency (RIE) and radiation use efficiency (RUE) have low heritabilities in such canopies. We propose a revised Monteith equation that identifies environmental and genetic components of RIE and RUE. An environmental term, a component of RIE, characterizes the effect of the presence or absence of neighbours on light interception. The ability of a given plant to compete with its neighbours is then identified, which accounts for the genetic variability of RIE of plants having similar leaf areas. This method was used in three experiments in a phenotyping platform with 765 plants of 255 maize hybrids. As expected, the heritability of the environmental term was near zero, whereas that of the competitiveness term increased with phenological stage, resulting in the identification of quantitative trait loci. In the same way, RUE was dissected as an effect of intercepted light and a genetic term. This approach was used for predicting the behaviour of individual genotypes in virtual multi-genotype canopies. A large effect of competitiveness was observed in multi-genotype but not in single-genotype canopies, resulting in a bias for genotype comparisons in breeding fields.

We demonstrate the successful application of our approach to SrMnO$_3$ and BiFeO$_3$. We show that both the electron orbitals under crystal field splitting and the electronic configuration should be taken into account in order to understand the large variances of spin-phonon coupling effects among various phonon modes as well as in different materials.

description: Two-level quantum systems with strong spin-orbit coupling allow for all-electrical qubit control and long-distance qubit coupling via microwave and phonon cavities, making them of particular interest for scalable quantum information technologies. In silicon, a strong spin-orbit coupling exists within the spin-3/2 system of acceptor atoms and their energy levels and properties are expected to be highly tunable. Here we show the influence of local symmetry tuning on the acceptor spin-dynamics, measured in the single-atom regime. Spin-selective tunneling between two coupled boron atoms in a commercial CMOS transistor is utilised for spin-readout, which allows for the probing of the two-hole spin relaxation mechanisms. A relaxation-hotspot is measured and explained by the mixing of acceptor heavy and light hole states. Furthermore, excited state spectroscopy indicates a magnetic field controlled rotation of the quantization axes of the atoms. These observations demonstrate the tunability of the spin-orbit states and dynamics of this spin-3/2 system.

description: An ultra thin silicon detector called U3DTHIN has been designed and built for neutral particle analyzers (NPA) and thermal neutron detection. The main purpose of this detector is to provide a state-of-the-art solution for detector system of NPAs for the ITER experimental reactor and to be used in combination with a Boron conversion layer for the detection of thermal neutrons. Currently the NPAs are using very thin scintillator - photomultiplier tube, and their main drawbacks are poor energy resolution, intrinsic scintillation nonlinearity, relative low count rate capability and finally poor signal to background discrimination power for the low energy channels. The proposed U3DTHIN detector is based on very thin sensitive substrate which will provide nearly 100% detection efficiency for ions and at the same time very low sensitivity for the neutron and gamma radiation. To achieve a very fast charge collection of the carriers generated by the ions detection a 3D electrode structure[5] has been introduced in the sensitive volume of the detector. One of the most innovative features of these detectors has been the optimal combination of the thin entrance window and the sensitive substrate thickness, to accommodate very large energy dynamic range of the detected ions. An entrance window with a thickness of tens of nanometers together with a sensitive substrate thickness varying from less than 5 microns, to detect the lowest energetic ions to 20 microns for the height ones has been selected after simulations with GEANT4. To increase the signal to background ratio the detector will operate in spectroscopy regime allowing to perform pulse-height analysis. The technology used to fabricate these 3D ultra thin detectors developed at Centro Nacional de Microelectronica in Barcelona and the first signals from an alpha source (241Am) will presented

description: Perceived externalization is a relevant feature to create an immersive acoustic environment with headphone reproduction. In the present study, listener-specific acoustic transfer characteristics for an azimuth angle of 90° were modified to investigate the role of monaural spectral cues, interaural level differences (ILDs), and temporal fluctuations of ILDs on perceived externalization in anechoic and reverberant environments. Listeners' ratings suggested that each acoustic cue was important for perceived externalization. If only one correct acoustic cue remained in the ear signals, the sound image could not be perceived as fully externalized. Reverberation did reduce but not eliminate the influences of monaural spectral and ILD cues on perceived externalization. Additionally, the spectral details of the ipsilateral ear signal were more important for perceived externalization than those in the contralateral ear signal. A computational model was proposed to quantify those relationships and predict externalization ratings by comparing the acoustic cues extracted from the target (modified) and template (non-processed) binaural signals after several auditory processing steps. The accuracy of predicted externalization ratings was higher than 90% under all experimental conditions.

description: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the number of lactations and litter size on the chemical composition, immunoglobulins, and cytokines of goat colostrum. The experiment was conducted at the Animal Research Base, Mianyang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, from February to March 2021. After delivery, 48 colostrum samples were obtained every 24 h by manual milking from both udders. The contents of colostrum proteins, IgA, and IgM increased markedly up to 48 h postpartum, reaching 250 and 1250 μg/mL, respectively (p < 0.01 compared with 0 h). However, the total Ig and IgG contents dropped quickly at 48 h postpartum to around 4.5 and 6 mg/mL, respectively, and continued to do so until 96 h postpartum (p < 0.01). As for litter size, the colostrum DM, fat, total Ig, IgG, INF-γ, and IL-2 of twin-birth goats were higher than those of single-birth goats at 0 h postpartum. Moreover, the colostrum of multiparous goats contained higher total Ig, IgA, IgG, and INF-γ concentrations than that of primiparous goats at 0 h postpartum (p < 0.01). However, the colostrum INF-α and IL-5 contents of multiparous goats were lower than those of primiparous goats at 0 h postpartum (p < 0.05). Available information indicates that colostrum secretion takes place until 48 h postpartum and that the effect of litter size and lactation number on colostrum quality is observed at 0 h postpartum.

description: Phylogeography plays a major role in understanding micro and macroevolutionary processes dealing with evolutionary interpretations of geographical distribution. This field integrates information from molecular genetics, population genetics, demography, and phylogeny for the interpretation of the geographical distribution of lineages. The full mtDNA sequence and W chromosome polymorphisms were exploited to assess the usefulness of two maternally-inherited genetic markers for phylogeographic studies of village chickens. We studied 243 full mtDNA sequences from three countries (Iraq, n = 27; Ethiopia, n = 211; and Saudi Arabia, n = 5) and a 13-kb fragment of the W chromosome from 20 Iraqi and 137 Ethiopian female chickens. The results show a high level of genetic diversity for the mtDNA within and among countries as well as within populations. On the other hand, sequence analysis of the W chromosome shows low genetic diversity both within and among populations. Six full mtDNA haplogroups (A, B, C1, C2, D1, and E1) were observed and 25 distinct W haplotypes. The results support the effectiveness of full mtDNA sequences but not the W chromosome in tracing the maternal historical genome background with, however, weak within a country phylogeographic signal.

description: An epoxy adhesive system, commonly used in wind turbine blade manufacturing, is experimentally investigated with respect to its chemical shrinkage behavior to show the shrinkage evolution within rotor blade production related process conditions. Therefore, a new test configuration is set up to record the resulting chemical shrinkage of the adhesive at cross-linking temperatures ranging from 20 C to 90 C. The respective conversion evolution is simulated under several temperature conditions through a curing kinetics model. This is generated with state of the art formulations, implementing test results from a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Moreover, the transformation of the curing degree to the corresponding glass transition temperature (Tg ) is performed through an experimentally based Di-Benedetto curve-fitting. By the combination of curing kinetics and chemical shrinkage test data, a model for the temperature and conversion dependant chemical shrinkage evolution during cure is developed. This is applied to a realistic curing cycle for adhesive materials in rotor blade production.

description: Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 3 (PTPN3), a member of the membrane-associated non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family, plays significant roles in the cytoplasm and affects the development and growth of skin and hair. A recent study identified the PTPN3 as the potential gene related to sheep wool quality. To detect single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PTPN3 and elucidate its association with wool production and growth traits in fine wool sheep a total of 644 healthy SG (South African mutton merino♂ × Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep♀, SG) and SSG (South African mutton merino♂ × SG♀, SSG) hybrid sheep were selected. Pooled-DNA sequencing and SNPscan methods were used to scan and genotype SNPs within PTPN3. Association analyses between SNPs and wool production and growth traits were implemented. Consequently, the results revealed that PTPN3 has six SNPs (two missense mutations, one synonymous mutation, and three intron mutations), of which four loci (SNP2, SNP3, SNP4, and SNP5) were significantly positively correlated with growth and wool traits (p < 0.05). SNP4 was significantly (p < 0.05) linked with thigh wool length, and SNP6 was significantly (p < 0.05) associated with abdomen wool length. Moreover, one strongly linked SNP block was identified to be correlated with wool production and growth traits (body weight and body size). The significant SNPs founded by this study could serve as useful genetic markers for breeding fine-wool sheep.®

description: Excerpts from the report: This compilation is confined to the organization and activities of the War Food Administration and its predecessor and successor agencies, to the activities of war agencies outside the War Food Administration responsible for carrying out programs related to food distribution, and to Presidential and Congressional actions regarding food programs. Many of the wartime achievements of the agencies in the Department of Agriculture not included in the War Food Administration are discussed in Science in Farming; The Yearbook of Agriculture 1943-1947, issued by The United States Department of Agriculture in 1947. A considerable part of this compilation is concerned with War Food and Food Distribution Orders, which are listed under their effective dates. Food Distribution Orders then in effect, as well as a number of other orders and regulations, became War Food Orders on April 20, 19440. All such orders are listed but it has not been possible to include amendments. Food Distribution Order 1 became effective on January 18, 1943, and War Food Order 149, the last, on July 1, 1946. Entries covering the orders appear on pages 13-43,45, 47-50, 52, 54-56, 58-60. Executive Orders of the President established certain policies for the War Food Administration and other agencies dealing with food. These orders are noted on pages 5-6,8,10-12,20,23,25,27,34-35,37,41, 49-54,58,60,63-64. An index by major subjects follows the chronological entries.

description: In many industries, digitalization is expected to have a significant economic potential. The digitalization of wind turbine rotor blades including their materials could contribute to accelerate the development of novel and tailored materials, to improve the blades reliability, and to make wind energy more cost efficient. However, the digitalization of the blades through their entire life cycle is challenging e.g. due to the dependence of the material properties on the manufacturing process parameters, the complex structural health monitoring and the challenging modelling of blade response under complex loading. In the presented work based on the results of the ReliaBlade project, a theoretical approach is attempted towards describing the blade in-situ structural performance, based on the material properties, the blade manufacturing processes and loading history. In the first phase of the ReliaBlade project, an experimental blade for full-scale testing with three pre-defined internal damage modes is designed. Based on these damage modes the digitalization approach towards increasing the blade structural reliability is exemplarily shown.

description: In multicellular organisms, relations among parts and between parts and the whole are contextual and interdependent. These organisms and their cells are ontogenetically linked: an organism starts as a cell that divides producing non-identical cells, which organize in tri-dimensional patterns. These association patterns and cells types change as tissues and organs are formed. This contextuality and circularity makes it difficult to establish detailed cause and effect relationships. Here we propose an approach to overcome these intrinsic difficulties by combining the use of two models; 1) an experimental one that employs 3D culture technology to obtain the structures of the mammary gland, namely, ducts and acini, and 2) a mathematical model based on biological principles. The typical approach for mathematical modeling in biology is to apply mathematical tools and concepts developed originally in physics or computer sciences. Instead, we propose to construct a mathematical model based on proper biological principles. Specifically, we use principles identified as fundamental for the elaboration of a theory of organisms, namely i) the default state of cell proliferation with variation and motility and ii) the principle of organization by closure of constraints. This model has a biological component, the cells, and a physical component, a matrix which contains collagen fibers. Cells display agency and move and proliferate unless constrained; they exert mechanical forces that i) act on collagen fibers and ii) on other cells. As fibers organize, they constrain the cells on their ability to move and to proliferate. The model exhibits a circularity that can be interpreted in terms of closure of constraints...

description: Results of analysis of 23 events of the 2014-2015 mutual event series from the Vainu Bappu Observatory are presented. Our intensity distribution model for the eclipsed/occulted satellite is based on the criterion that it simulates a rotational light curve that matches the ground based light curve. Dichotomy in the scattering characteristics of the leading and trailing sides explain the basic shape of the rotational light curves of Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. In case of Io the albedo map from USGS along with global values of scattering parameters work well. Mean values of residuals in $(O-C)$ along and perpendicular to the track are found to be -3.3 and -3.4 mas respectively compared to "L2" theory for the seven 2E1/2O1 events. The corresponding R.M.S values are 8.7 and 7.8 mas respectively. For the five 1E3/1O3 events, the along and perpendicular to the track mean residuals are 5.6 and 3.2 mas respectively. The corresponding R.M.S. residuals are 6.8 and 10.5 mas respectively. We compare the results using the chosen model (Model 1) with a uniform but limb darkened disk (Model 2). The residuals with Model 2 of the 2E1/2O1 and 1E3/1O3 events indicate a bias along the satellite track. The extent and direction of bias is consistent with the shift of the light center from the geometric center. Results using Model 1, which intrinsically takes into account the intensity distribution show no such bias.

description: Yunling cattle (YL) is a recently developed beef breed harboring a quarter of Yunnan ancestral cattle genome, spanning over past 30 years. Compared with Diqing cattle (DQ), a Yunnan native cattle breed, YL presents various advantages, including rapid growth and exquisite meat quality. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these phenotypic differences are not clearly understood. To further identify the candidate genes responsible for the quality of the meat in the muscle, longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle was used for RNA-Seq analysis. A total of 508 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in YL (adjusted p-value <0.01 and log2FoldChange >1), of which 243 were up-regulated and 265 were down-regulated. Functional association analysis showed that the identified DEGs mainly enriched the lipid and fat metabolism pathways. Moreover, it was also observed that several fat-related genes were differentially expressed in both cattle breeds, including three up-regulated genes (MOGAT1, ACSM3, PLPP2) and two down-regulated genes (ADIG, GPAT3). In addition, alternative splice analysis was also performed revealing an important 9–11 exon skipping variation of GPAM gene (crucial for beef marbling) in YL, which is three times higher than that in DQ, suggesting that this variation might have played the central role in the ‘snow beef’ effect in YL. We believe that our results will help in understanding the mechanism of muscle development and promote the further breeding programs in YL cattle.
Evolution of newborn rapidly rotating magnetars: effects of r-mode and fall-back accretion

description: In this paper we investigate effects of the $r$-mode instability on a newborn rapidly-rotating magnetar with fall-back accretion. Such a magnetar could usually occur in core-collapse supernovae and gamma-ray bursts. We find that the magnetar's spin and $r$-mode evolution are influenced by accretion. If the magnetar is sufficiently spun up to a few milliseconds, gravitational radiation leads to the growth of the $r$-mode amplitude significantly. The maximum $r$-mode amplitude reaches an order $\sim 0.001$ when the damping due to the growth of a toroidal magnetic field balances the growth of the $r$-mode amplitude. If such a sufficiently spun-up magnetar was located at a distance less than 1\,Mpc, then gravitational waves would be detectable by the Einstein Telescope but would have an extremely low event rate. However, if the spin-up is insufficient, the growth of the $r$-mode amplitude is mainly due to the accretion torque. In this case, the maximum $r$-mode amplitude is of the order of $\sim 10^{-6}-10^{-5}$.

description: The study was designed with the objective of expression analysis of pro-apoptotic BAX and anti-apoptotic BCL-2 genes on lactation performance in Bos indicus and HF crossbred cows during early lactation. BAX/BCL-2 mRNA expression ratio in HF crossbreds showed a steady increase from 30th day to 90th day, but in Deoni cows the ratio exhibited a different pattern, which increased from day 30 to day 60, decreased on day 75, and then increased on day 90. BAX/BCL-2 expression ratio in Deoni and HF crossbreds were lowest on day 30 and highest on day 90. On contrary, the milk yield was highest on day 30 and lowest on day 90 suggesting BCL-2 gene favors milk production and BAX gene oppose milk production. In comparison to HF crossbreds, Deoni cows exhibited highest BAX/BCL-2 ratio at the end of early lactation, indicating Bos indicus cows were more sensitive to apoptosis than HF crossbreds. Comparison of daily milk yield with BAX/BCL-2 mRNA expression ratio revealed significant negative correlation with a correlation coefficient of −0.98 (P < 0.01) and −0.95 (P < 0.05) in Deoni and HF crossbred cows, respectively. Our study provides new insights into understanding the genetic control of mammary apoptosis between Bos indicus and HF crossbreds.

description: We scrutinize the behavior of eigenvalues of an electron of Helium atom as it interacts with electric field directed along $z$-axis and exposed to linearly polarized intense laser field radiation. In order to achieve this, we freeze one electron of the helium atom at its ionic ground state and the motion of the second electron in the ion core is treated via a more general case of screened Coulomb potential model. Using the Kramers-Henneberger (KH) unitary transformation, which is semiclassical counterpart of the Block-Nordsieck transformation in the quantized field formalism, the squared vector potential that appears in the equation of motion is eliminated and the resultant equation is expressed in KH frame. Within this frame, the resulting potential and the corresponding wave function have been expanded in Fourier series and using Ehlotzkys approximation, we obtain a laser-dressed potential to simulate intense laser field. By fitting the more general case of screened Coulomb potential model into the laser-dressed potential, and then expanding it in Taylor series up to $\mathcal{O}(r^4,α_0^9)$, we obtain the solution (eigenvalues and wave function) of an electron of Helium atom under the influence of external electric field and high-intensity laser field, within the framework of perturbation theory formalism. We found that the variation in frequency of laser radiation has no effect on the eigenvalues of an electron of helium for a particular electric field intensity directed along $z$-axis. Also, for a very strong external electric field and an infinitesimal screening parameter, the system is strongly bound. This work has potential application in the areas of atomic and molecular processes in external fields including interactions with strong fields and short pulses.
