description: In this note, we study the directed first passage percolation introduced in [F. Comets, R. Fukushima, S. Nakajima and N. Yoshida: Journal of Statistical Physics, 161-(3), 577-597 (2015)]. It is proved that the shortest path from the origin to the $n$-th hyperplane makes a jump larger than a small power of $\log n$. Some numerical results are also provided, which indicates that the maximal jump size is much larger in a certain parameter region.

description: The Bent Crystal Spectrometer (BCS) onboard the NASA Solar Maximum Mission was part of the X-ray Polychromator, which observed numerous flares and bright active regions from February to November 1980, when operation was suspended as a result of the failure of the spacecraft fine pointing system. Observations resumed following the Space Shuttle SMM Repair Mission in April 1984 and continued until November 1989. BCS spectra have been widely used in the past to obtain temperatures, emission measures, and turbulent and bulk flows during flares, as well as element abundances. Instrumental details including calibration factors not previously published are given here, and the in-orbit performance of the BCS is evaluated. Some significant changes during the mission are described, and recommendations for future instrumentation are made. Using improved estimates for the instrument parameters and operational limits, it is now possible to obtain de-convolved, calibrated spectra that show finer detail than before, providing the means to improved interpretation of the physics of the emitting plasmas. The results indicate how historical, archived data can be re-used to obtain enhanced and new, scientifically valuable results.

Irregular sets for piecewise monotonic maps

Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)

description: For any transitive piecewise monotonic map for which the set of periodic measures is dense in the set of ergodic invariant measures (such as monotonic mod one transformations and piecewise monotonic maps with two monotonic pieces), we show that the set of points for which the Birkhoff average of a continuous function does not exist (called the irregular set) is either empty or has full topological entropy. This generalizes Thompson's theorem for irregular sets of $β$-transformations, and reduces a complete description of irregular sets of transitive piecewise monotonic maps to Hofbauer-Raith problem on the density of periodic measures.

description: In this paper we study digit frequencies in the setting of expansions in non-integer bases, and self-affine sets with non-empty interior. Within expansions in non-integer bases we show that if $β\in(1,1.787\ldots)$ then every $x\in(0,\frac{1}{β-1})$ has a simply normal $β$-expansion. We also prove that if $β\in(1,\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})$ then every $x\in(0,\frac{1}{β-1})$ has a $β$-expansion for which the digit frequency does not exist, and a $β$-expansion with limiting frequency of zeros $p$, where $p$ is any real number sufficiently close to $1/2$. For a class of planar self-affine sets we show that if the horizontal contraction lies in a certain parameter space and the vertical contractions are sufficiently close to $1,$ then every nontrivial vertical fibre contains an interval. Our approach lends itself to explicit calculation and give rise to new examples of self-affine sets with non-empty interior. One particular strength of our approach is that it allows for different rates of contraction in the vertical direction.

description: Acute coliform mastitis (ACM) is 1 of the most frequent causes culling dairy cattle. This condition is typically associated with local inflammation and systemic inflammatory responses as a result of local responses to inflammation. Interleukin-6, interleukin-1, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha play central roles in the production of acute phase responses associated with inflammation and are well characterized. However, knowledge about the biological significance of alterations in trace and major elements associated with production of cytokines during the immune response is limited. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the concentrations and relationships between trace and major elements in serum from dairy cattle with acute coliform mastitis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to describe the performance of serum in screening for acute coliform mastitis and to propose diagnostic cutoffs for cattle. Further, this data may provide further understanding of trace and major minerals associated clinically with coliform mastitis.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A simple, process-oriented mathematical model is developed for the mortality of eggs of cod Gadus morhua callarias in the Central Baltic sea. The model is based on a synthesis of existing knowledge of both direct and indirect effects of hydrography on the survival of the eggs. The direct effects are the in influence of low levels of oxygen and salinity on survival. The indirect effect is the predation by sprat, with the vertical overlap between sprat and cod eggs being determined by the hydrography. The model reproduces the direct effect of low survival in years without inflows of oxygen rich and saline. It also indicates that predation is important for the total mortality than the direct effect of the hydrography. In addition it is shown that effects related to the changing bouyancy of of the eggs due to age of mother fish, batch number and stock structure does not in influence the survival significantly.

description: We show that media with inhomogeneous defocusing cubic nonlinearity growing toward the periphery can support a variety of stable vortex clusters nested in a common localized envelope. Nonrotating symmetric clusters are built of an even number of vortices with opposite topological charges, located at equal distances from the origin. Rotation makes the clusters strongly asymmetric, as the centrifugal force shifts some vortices to the periphery, while others approach the origin, depending on the topological charge. We obtain such asymmetric clusters as stationary states in the rotating coordinate frame, identify their existence domains, and show that the rotation may stabilize some of them.

description: Using time- and angle-resolved photoemission, we investigate the ultrafast response of excited electrons in the ternary topological insulator (Bi$_{1 x}$Sb$_{x}$)$_2$Te$_3$ to fs-infrared pulses. We demonstrate that at the critical concentration $x$=0.55, where the system becomes bulk insulating, a surface voltage can be driven at room temperature through the topological surface state solely by optical means. We further show that such a photovoltage persists over a time scale that exceeds $\sim$6 $μ$s, i.e, much longer than the characteristic relaxation times of bulk states. We attribute the origin of the photovoltage to a laser-induced band-bending effect which emerges near the surface region on ultrafast time scales. The photovoltage is also accompanied by a remarkable increase in the relaxation times of excited states as compared to undoped topological insulators. Our findings are relevant in the context of applications of topological surface states in future optical devices.

description: Dieser Vortrag wurde am 13.03.2025 bei den E-Science-Tagen 2025 an der Universität Heidelberg gehalten.

Die NFDI4Chem hat sich seit ihrem Start 2020 kontinuierlich auch den konkreten Rechtsfragen angenommen. In der NFDI4Chem wurden rechtliche Themen von einzelnen Forschenden, von den FDM-Professionals in den Einrichtungen (IT, Bibliotheken, Forschungsabteilungen) und weiteren Forschungspartnern (z. Bsp. Wissenschaftsverlagen, Industrie) aufgeworfen. Manche der einzelnen Rechtsaspekte waren operativ, andere hatten eine strategische Tragweite. Im Verlauf der ersten NFDI-Phase bedurfte es zudem wiederholt einer Einschätzung, welche Auswirkungen geplante Gesetzesvorhaben der EU (z. Bsp. Datenrecht) und in Deutschland (z. Bsp. Forschungsdatengesetz) auf die konkreten Dienste im Konsortium haben würde.

In einem Best Of beschreibt die Präsentation die wichtigsten und häufigsten Rechtsthemen, die in den ersten fünf Jahren NFDI4Chem aufgekommen sind, und zeigt die rechtlichen Handlungsmöglichkeiten und Empfehlungen auf. Dargestellt werden auch Rechtsthemen, die als relevant für die Weiterentwicklung von FDM-Diensten identifiziert wurden, aber bislang noch nicht näher aufgearbeitet werden konnten.

In der Auswertung von fünf Jahren rechtlicher Begleitung des FDM in der NFDI4Chem wird auch deutlich, welche rechtlichen Handlungsbereiche übergreifend wie z. Bsp. in Querschnittssektionen der NFDI (insbes. NFDI-ELSA, NFDI-EduTrain) oder von zentralen Servicestellen auf Ebene der Bundesländer bearbeitet werden können. Bei anderen rechtlichen Handlungsbereichen hat sich gezeigt, dass diese fachspezifisch ausgerpägt sind und daher z. Bsp. in den einzelnen, disziplinär ausgerichteten NFDI-Konsortien oder bei Fachgesellschaften bearbeitet werden sollten. Bei manchen Rechtsthemen sind zudem institutionelle Dimensionen einzubeziehen, rechtliche Einschätzungen und Empfehlungen erfordern insoweit eine Differenzierung z. Bsp. nach Universitäten und außeruniversitären Forschungseinrichtungen. Die lessons learned-Präsentation aus fünf Jahren NFDI4Chem geht daher auch darauf ein, welche Stelle für die wichtigsten rechtlichen FDM-Handlungsfelder als primärer Ansprechpartner jeweils geeignet erscheint.

description: Background: Electric-quadrupole ($E2$) strengths relate to the underlying quadrupole deformation of a nucleus and present a challenge for many nuclear theories. Mirror nuclei in the vicinity of the line of $N=Z$ represent a convenient laboratory for testing deficiencies in such models, making use of the isospin-symmetry of the systems. Purpose: Uncertainties associated with literature $E2$ strengths in \textsuperscript{23}Mg are some of the largest in $T_z=\left|\frac{1}{2}\right|$ nuclei in the $sd$-shell. The purpose of the present work is to improve the precision with which these values are known, to enable better comparison with theoretical models. Methods: Coulomb-excitation measurements of $^{23}$Mg and $^{23}$Na were performed at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility using the TIGRESS spectrometer. They were used to determine the $E2$ matrix elements of mixed $E2$/$M1$ transitions. Results: Reduced $E2$ transition strengths, $B(E2)$, were extracted for \textsuperscript{23}Mg and \textsuperscript{23}Na. Their precision was improved by factors of approximately six for both isotopes, while agreeing within uncertainties with previous measurements. Conclusions: A comparison was made with both shell-model and {\it ab initio} valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group calculations. Valence-space in-medium similarity-renormalization-group calculations were found to underpredict the absolute $E2$ strength - in agreement with previous studies.

description: Gram-negative bacteria are among the most common environmental pathogens causing mastitis. Endotoxin plays a major role in the pathophysiology of gram-negative bacterial sepsis; therefore, attempts have been made to detect and quantify it, with conflicting findings, in various states of infection. The simple and easy portable test system (PTS) for endotoxin activity offers several advantages over the traditional microplate kinetic limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL)-based test used by diagnostic laboratories. It is small, inexpensive and portable, requires only small quantities of raw milk, and provides results relatively rapidly in comparison to traditional methods. Thus the portability and ready availability of this cartridge system adds to its attractiveness for use in acute coliform mastitis (ACM). However, since the results obtained using this portable test will often dictate the course of clinical care and hygiene management, it is important that the cartridge system provides accurate information. The aim of the present study was to compare endotoxin activities detected in raw milk samples obtained from healthy dairy cattle without mastitis by a commercially available PTS™ and traditional microplate LAL-based assay, which determined activities using a kinetic turbidimetric (KT) assay.

description: Many proteins that undergo sequential enzymatic modification in the Golgi cisternae are displayed at the plasma membrane as cell identity markers. The modified proteins, called glycans, represent a molecular code. The fidelity of this glycan code is measured by how accurately the glycan synthesis machinery realises the desired target glycan distribution for a particular cell type and niche. In this paper, we quantitatively analyse the tradeoffs between the number of cisternae and the number and specificity of enzymes, in order to synthesize a prescribed target glycan distribution of a certain complexity. We find that to synthesize complex distributions, such as those observed in real cells, one needs to have multiple cisternae and precise enzyme partitioning in the Golgi. Additionally, for fixed number of enzymes and cisternae, there is an optimal level of specificity of enzymes that achieves the target distribution with high fidelity. Our results show how the complexity of the target glycan distribution places functional constraints on the Golgi cisternal number and enzyme specificity.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Valuable marine habitats and living resources can be found in the Eastern English Channel and in 2003, a Franco-British Interreg IIIA project, ‘Eastern Channel Habitat Atlas for Marine Resource Management’ (CHARM), was initiated to support decision-making for management of essential fish habitats. Fish habitat corresponds to geographic areas within which ranges of environmental factors define the presence of a particular species. Habitat Suitability index (HSI) modelling was used to relate fish geographic distribution and their relation towards environmental factors and to delineate their optimum habitat. This study was based on data obtained from 1988-2003 IFREMER’s Channel Ground Fish Surveys, including both species abundance and environmental data. Suitability index (SI) functions based on generalised additive models were used to relate depth, temperature, salinity and sediment to sub-community assemblage probability of occurrence. As a result, SI values were positively related to assemblage affinity along the gradient of the environmental variables. The resulting HSI models were used to map, using GIS, the optimum habitats of communities ; sensible habitats such as spawning grounds, nurseries or areas carrying bio-diverse fish community were also defined. The information obtained will help to elaborate guidelines for the conservation and protection of natural habitats in the face of climate change and anthropogenic disturbances.

description: The corona, a hot cloud of electrons close to the centre of the accretion disc, produces the hard X-ray power-law continuum commonly seen in luminous Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). The continuum has a high-energy turnover, typically in the range of one to several 100 keV and is suggestive of Comptonization by thermal electrons. We are studying hard X-ray spectra of AGN obtained with NuSTAR after correction for X-ray reflection and under the assumption that coronae are compact, being only a few gravitational radii in size as indicated by reflection and reverberation modelling. Compact coronae raise the possibility that the temperature is limited and indeed controlled by electron-positron pair production, as explored earlier (Paper I). Here we examine hybrid plasmas in which a mixture of thermal and nonthermal particles is present. Pair production from the nonthermal component reduces the temperature leading to a wider temperature range more consistent with observations.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.From April 2002, a robust minimum maintenance system (FerryBox) to measure temperature, conductivity, and chlorophyll fluorescence has run continuously (except in January) between Portsmouth, UK and Bilbao, Spain. It provides an un-aliased view of all changes in the phytoplankton community driven by physical process and changes in nutrient supply. The ferry-box samples eutrophic harbours, the open-shelf (seasonally stratified and un-stratified), an up-welling shelf break and seasonally oligotrophic ocean water. Monthly calibrations have collected samples for chlorophyll-a, HPLC pigments, phytoplankton samples and nutrients (nitrate, phosphate and silicate). The 2 dimensional scale is provided by integration with satellite images. Additional quasi-synoptic data from a separate research cruise was collected during the growth of an intense bloom (>50 mg/m3 chlorophyll-a) of Karenia mikimotoi in the western English Channel in July 2003. The data from these different sources has been combined to provide insight into the complex development of this bloom.

description: Although the highest incidence for most production-related metabolic diseases (PRMDs; hypocalcemia, hepatic lipidosis, ketosis, left displaced abomasum-LDA, mastitis, laminitis) occurs within 60-days-in milk (DIM), the disease incidence has not been altered by transition diets, manipulating prepartum dietary cation anion balance, and overconditioning avoidance. PRMDs significantly affect economic returns with altered milk composition or decreased production, conception, life expectancy, and cull value. The risk for PRMD in early lactation has been correlated with increased free fatty acids (FFAs), non-esterfied fatty acids (NEFAs), triglycerides (TG), and beta-hydroxybutyrate ((3HBA) serum concentrations, hepatic TG:glycogen, and fecal stable isotope differences (13 carbon/12 carbon ratio, 613C). These observations of biochemical changes prior to PRMD onset prompted investigation of periparturient colostrum (CS) and milk (MK) lipid profiles at the beginning of lactation. The objectives of this study were to determine postpartum day 1 CS and day 4 MK lipid profiles in PRMD resistant and susceptible cows, and to determine if lipids in this CS and/or MK secreted after the transition period can be used as biomarkers to predict risk for development of PRMD.

description: For a natural class of $r \times n$ integer matrices, we construct a non-convex polytope which periodically tiles $\mathbb R^n$. From this tiling, we provide a family of geometrically meaningful maps from a generalized sandpile group to a set of generalized spanning trees which give multijective proofs for several higher-dimensional matrix-tree theorems. In particular, these multijections can be applied to graphs, regular matroids, cell complexes with a torsion-free spanning forest, and representable arithmetic matroids with a multiplicity one basis. This generalizes a bijection given by Backman, Baker, and Yuen and extends work by Duval, Klivans, and Martin.

This extends previous work on generic regularity that only dealt with area-minimizing hypersurfaces. These results are a consequence of a more general estimate for a one-parameter min-max minimal hypersurface $Σ\subset (M,g)$ (valid in any dimension): $$\mathcal H^{0} (\mathcal{S}_{nm}(Σ)) +{\rm Index}(Σ) \leq 1$$ where $\mathcal{S}_{nm}(Σ)$ denotes the set of singular points of $Σ$ with a unique tangent cone non-area minimizing on either side.

description: Neonatal dairy calf maintenance energy requirements are approximately 1.6 Meal metabolizable energy (ME)/d at thermoneutral temperatures. Historically used milk replacer feeding regimens (e.g. 2 quarts ofreconstituted solids twice per day) provide approximately 2.2 Meal ME/d. Considering the abundance of environmental and pathogenic challenges faced by neonatal calves, these conventional feeding programs provide little energy reserves for maintaining body temperature, mounting immune responses, and growing at expected rates of 1.1 to 2.0 lb/d (0.5 to 0.9 kg/d). Cryptosporidium parvum, an enteric protozoan, is an almost ubiquitous infectious stressor of neonatal dairy calves. Infection by this organism is difficult to prevent and treat. As it is a zoonotic parasite, a few oocysts may infect and cause disease in naive people, and infections are a severe health risk in the immunocompromised. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of conventional nutritional plane versus a higher nutritional plane on the health and performance of dairy calves after experimental infection with C. parvum.

description: Cholesteric liquid crystals experience geometric frustration when they are confined between surfaces with anchoring conditions that are incompatible with the cholesteric twist. Because of this frustration, they develop complex topological defect structures, which may be helicoids or skyrmions. We develop a theory for these structures, which extends previous theoretical research by deriving exact solutions for helicoids with the assumption of constant azimuth, calculating numerical solutions for helicoids and skyrmions with varying azimuth, and interpreting the results in terms of competition between terms in the free energy.

description: Lameness is the most significant challenge for the dairy industry to overcome given its obvious disruption of animal welfare and severe economic losses. Sole ulcers and white line abscesses are ubiquitous diseases with chronic nature and with the highest associated economic losses amongst all foot lesions. Their underlying causes are still not fully understood. The objectives of the study were to assess the association of digital cushion thickness (DCT), the risk of claw horn disruption lesions, and to assess the dynamics of DCT by stage of lactation and body condition score (BCS). It was hypothesized that DCT would be negatively associated with the risk of digital lesions and that DCT would be positively associated with BCS.

description: Calves in a feed yard setting are commonly treated for respiratory disease (BRD). Often there are ancillary drugs used in addition to a primary antimicrobial. One of the ancillary treatments used is flunixin meglumine. Flunixin meglumine is labeled as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with antipyretic activity. Calves treated with flunixin meglumine show decreased body temperature in 24 hours. There is little data showing the effects of ancillary use on retreatment and case fatality rates. The objective of this trial was to evaluate repull rates and case fatality rates on BRD complex treated with or without ancillary flunixin meglumine.

description: Anaplasmosis, caused by the intracellular red blood cell parasite Anaplasma marginale, is the most prevalent tick-transmitted disease of cattle worldwide. Cattle recovering from acute anaplasmosis, including those treated with tetracycline antibiotics, develop lifelong cyclic rickettsemias. Carrier cattle serve as a reservoir of A. marginale for the infection of naïve cattle through horizontal, vertical, and iatrogenic transmission. Validated antimicrobial regimens do not exist for eliminating persistent infection; furthermore, anaplasmosis disease control is confounded by the absence of effective vaccines. A diagnostic testing strategy for identification of A. marginale infection and determination of chemotherapeutic success is urgently needed. A novel, real time RTPCR diagnostic assay and oral chlortetracycline (CTC) chemosterilization strategy were developed at Kansas State University under experimental conditions through concurrent RT-PCR results and plasma CTC pharmacokinetic determination. Validation of this diagnostic and treatment strategy utilizing cattle naturally-infected is essential for assembling science-based recommendations for anaplasmosis control, treatment, and eradication.

description: The possibility of solving the Bethe-Salpeter Equation in Minkowski space, even for fermionic systems, is becoming actual, through the applications of well-known tools: i) the Nakanishi integral representation of the Bethe-Salpeter amplitude and ii) the light-front projection onto the null-plane. The theoretical background and some preliminary calculations are illustrated, in order to show the potentiality and the wide range of application of the method.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Assessments of the effects of small-scale turbulence on plankton and system metabolism in coastal environments are subject to varying initial conditions. Turbulence is hypothesized to promote the growth of large phytoplankton provided nutrients are available above a certain threshold, since nutrient fluxes towards large osmotrophs are enhanced under these conditions. Here we report on an annual cycle of monthly measurements in a coastal location in the Northwest Mediterranean. Water temperature ranged from 13 to 25 °C and showed an opposite trend to chlorophyll (0.3 to 3.9 μg l–1). The response of the system to nutrient loading and turbulence forcing shows that both turbulence and nutrients affect phytoplankton biomass, as independent factors and in a combined synergistic effect. Turbulence is also shown to increase nutrient uptake by osmotrophs, especially for large phytoplankton. Turbulence and nutrients also affect bacterial concentrations although indirect effects are envisioned. Episodic events both in terms of nutrient increases and turbulence events can modulate the production of the coastal NW Mediterranean system. This must be important in a relatively oligotrophic system, both for the production of higher trophic levels and the dynamics of harmful algal blooms.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Variability in the transport of diapausing individuals to productive shelf areas has been hypothesized to influence the abundance of the dominant copepod species Calanus finmarchicus in several regions of the North Atlantic. Using Lagrangian particle path simulations, we examined the effect of variability in environmental forcing and copepod behavior on the retention of diapausing C. finmarchicus in the deep Gulf of Maine, USA, a source region for Georges Bank. Retention in the Gulf of Maine was relatively high, > 45 % over six months, in all simulations. Copepod behavior during diapause was a greater source of uncertainty for retention than was variability in wind or Scotian Shelf inflow. Retention increased with the initial depth of diapausing copepods, and vertical positioning behavior had a strong influence on retention for simulations started at depths greater than 150 m. Variability in Scotian Shelf inflow had a greater influence on retention than did variability in alongshore winds. Both alongshore wind and Scotian Shelf inflow influenced transport from slope waters and the Northeast Channel into the deep Gulf of Maine. Transport patterns among Gulf of Maine sub-regions are in qualitative agreement with observed seasonal and spatial patterns in diapausing copepod length, which suggest persistence of early diapausers in Wilkinson Basin.

description: Artificial insemination (AI) is a highly effective reproductive technology for promoting genetic improvement in beef cattle. The most commonly used timed-AI program in beef cattle is the CO-Synch program. Pregnancy rates achieved through this program have ranged from 31 to 66% across a series of published reports, a rate that is acceptable to many beef producers. It has been shown that reducing the interval from the initial GnRH treatment to PGF2a (and withdrawal of a progestin) improves the outcome of timed-AI. With this protocol, termed the 5-day Co-Synch+ CIDR protocol, cows are given GnRH and have a CIDR device placed intravaginally, have the device removed after five days, and are given PGF2a, and then are time inseminated at 72 hours. However, this protocol requires the injection of two doses of PGF2a with an inconvenient 12-hour wait between the two doses. Reducing the interval between the two doses of PGF2a will allow cows to be handled twice with only a single penning and sorting to remove calves. The objective of this study was to compare reproductive performance of Angus cross beef cows synchronized with 5-day Co-Synch+ CIDR protocol and two doses of dinoprost tromethamine (PGF) given at CIDR removal and either at 2 h or 8 h following CIDR withdrawal.

description: We report experiments on an agarose gel tablet loaded with camphoric acid (c-boat) set into self-motion by interfacial tension gradients at the air-water interface. We observe three distinct modes of c-boat motion: harmonic mode where the c-boat speed oscillates sinusoidally in time, a steady mode where the c-boat maintains constant speed, and a relaxation oscillation mode where the c-boat maintains near-zero speed between sudden jumps in speed and position at regular time intervals. Whereas all three modes have been separately reported before in different systems, we show they belong to a common description. Through control of the air-water surface tension with Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), we experimentally deduce the three self-propulsive modes result from surface tension difference between Camphoric Acid (CA) and the ambient surroundings.
