description: We propose a novel scanning tunneling microscope (STM) device in which the tunneling tip is formed by a Majorana bound state (MBS). This peculiar bound state exists at the boundary of a one-dimensional topological superconductor. Since the MBS has to be effectively spinless and local, we argue that it is the smallest unit that shows itself odd-frequency superconducting pairing. Odd-frequency superconductivity is characterized by an anomalous Green function which is an odd function of the time arguments of the two electrons forming the Cooper pair. Interestingly, our Majorana STM can be used as the perfect detector of odd-frequency superconductivity. The reason is that a supercurrent between the Majorana STM and any other superconductor can only flow if the latter system exhibits itself odd-frequency pairing. To illustrate our general idea, we consider the tunneling problem of the Majorana STM coupled to a quantum dot in vicinity to a conventional superconductor. In such a (superconducting) quantum dot, the effective pairing can be tuned from even- to odd-frequency behavior if an external magnetic field is applied to it.

description: A utilização de bactérias promotoras de crescimento de plantas (BPCPs) podem promover aumento na eficiência da fixação biológica de nitrogênio (FBN), com benefícios no desenvolvimento e produtividade de grãos de soja. Sendo assim, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da coinoculação de rizóbios com espécies de BPCPs inoculadas nas sementes ou aplicadas no tecido vegetal, avaliando-se a nodulação, acúmulo de N em parte aérea e produtividade de grãos da soja em região de Cerrado. O experimento foi conduzido em sistema plantio direto, num Latossolo Vermelho Distrófico de textura argilosa, em cultivo irrigado. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições, dispostos em esquema fatorial 6x2+3, sendo coinoculação de rizóbios com seis BPCPs (Azospirillum brasilense, Bacillus amyloliquefacens, B. licheniformis, B. pumilus, B. subtilis e Pseudomonas fluorescens), inoculadas na semente ou em jato dirigido na base da planta no estádio V3 da soja; além da testemunha sem inoculação e N, inoculação de sementes apenas com rizóbios (Bradyrhizobium japonicum), e tratamento com adubação nitrogenada (ureia). O B. licheniformis via semente propiciou maior nodulação e acúmulo de N na parte aérea. A produtividade de grãos de soja coinoculada não foi superior ao da soja inoculada com Bradyrhizobium japonicum, independentemente da forma de coinoculação. Dentre as bactérias, o B. amyloliquefaciens coinoculado via semente e os B. pumilus e B. licheniformis via jato dirigido em estádio V3 proporcionaram maiores produtividades de grãos.

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Executive function (EF) refers to a set of cognitive processes involved in the control of thoughts and actions (Zelazo & Muller, 2011). EF develops significantly over the preschool years and predicts developmental outcomes and academic achievement (Carlson, 2005; Diamond, 2013). This experimental study investigated the immediate impact of playing interactive application (app) games on the EF skills of 48 preschool aged children.Children were randomly assigned to three groups. Two groups engaged with an interactive tablet device to play app games which differed in pace (fast or slow) and fantastical content (fantastical or realistic), while a third group played with toys. Fantastical content was defined as physically impossible events, such as characters violating gravity or appearing out of nowhere (Lillard, Drell, Richey, Boguszewski & Smith, 2015). Children's EF was assessed before and after the condition using developmentally sensitive measures of three key EF skills: working memory, inhibitory control and attention shifting. Based on previous research that has explored the impact of fantastical media on children's executive function, the group that played the fast paced, fantastical app was expected to show a greater depletion of EF than the other two groups (Lillard, Drell et al., 2015). The anticipated depletion of EF was not observed. Interactive engagement and the role of attention are proposed as possible explanations of this findings -- abstract.

Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The identity of first-generation migrant singer-songwriters in western society is comprised of more than one cultural and religious expression. Often, questions of identity are central to a creative artist's ability when producing music for audiences of western society. Due to migration and globalisation, the west has become influenced by the migrant population - impacting their popular music industry, and, transforming the sound of the industry today. Cross-cultural elements in music are inherently visible in the representation of music and serve both stylistically and functionally as components of successful western popular music. This project investigates contemporary approaches within the creation of popular music that embraces concepts of cultural and religious diversity. It examines how a culturally hybrid artist of multiple cultural and religious backgrounds, incorporates these elements in the production of music for western popular audiences. The thesis consists of an analysis of one artist from the UK Asian Underground music scene and will identify practices and approaches inherent in their music. The project will then test these principles through a practice-led creative project - an extended play (EP) of originally created music by myself, as the artist.

Exploring the Concept and Institution of Contemporary Chinese Art Museums in Shanghai from 2000 to 2023: Case Studies of Rockbund Art Museum and Power Station of Art
Creators: name: Peiyi Lyu, Pelin
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024

description: This thesis explores the evolution and institutional characteristics of Contemporary Chinese Art Museums (CCAMs) in Shanghai from 2000 to 2023. It focuses on three key perspectives: concept and critiques, categories and history, 'software' and 'hardware’; and two case studies in Shanghai: the non-state-owned, Minfei institution, the Rockbund Art Museum (RAM) and the state-owned art museum, the Power Station of Art (PSA). This thesis demonstrates the necessity of reinterpreting the Chinese concept of the art museum, ‘Meishuguan’, based on China’s emerging ‘New Art Museum Studies’, integrating insights from both academic discourse and practical experiences in the art museum sector. It identifies three key concepts of the New Art Museum Studies: ‘Knowledge Production’, ‘Public Nature’ and ‘Institutional Identity’. By analysing RAM and PSA as case studies, this thesis highlights the characteristics and challenges of different types of CCAMs and contends that the rise and development of CCAMs have been significantly influenced by government policies and the burgeoning real estate economy in China since the 1990s. It argues that the essence of a CCAM, or the so-called 'Meishuguan', goes beyond mere material collections or architectural structures. Rather, its primary mission is to foster knowledge production, explore the nuances of public nature or ‘publicness’, and shape institutional identity.

description: A soja é a principal cultura de verão estabelecida no Brasil. Atualmente vem sendo crescente a implantação de soja segunda safra, neste sentido é necessário conhecer a contribuição das características ao rendimento de grãos nos diferentes ambientes em condição de segunda safra. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar quais características contribuem para a massa total de grãos, bem como analisar se as características que explicam o rendimento de grãos em genótipos de soja na segunda safra são as mesmas independentes do ambiente. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 2 x 8, sendo dois ambientes de cultivo (Salvador das Missões e Tenente Portela) e oito genótipos de soja com hábito de crescimento indeterminado (BMX Elite, NS 5959, NS 5909, BMX Alvo, BMX Potência, Tornado BMX, BMX Turbo, BMX Garra). Os componentes de produção diferiram entre si, o número de legumes com três grãos, o peso de mil grãos dos legumes com três grãos apresentou tendências lineares mais fortes e positivas com o rendimento dos grãos. Os genótipos NS5959, BMX Potência e BMX Turbo obtiveram a maior massa total de grãos, com a maior contribuição do peso de mil grãos dos legumes com dois e três grãos.

description: The recommendation for secondary school: is the ‘over-recommendation’ over?

In the last grade of Dutch primary school pupils receive a recommendation as regards the type of secondaryschool that is most appropriate for them to subsequently attend. On the basis of the nationallarge-scale PRIMA cohort study data from nearly 8000 grade 8 pupils and 500 classes were analyzed.Analysis of variance and multilevel analysis were performed. The focus was on the relationsbetween the recommendation for secondary school and a number of pupil background characteristics(e.g., sex, SES and ethnicity), cognitive and non-cognitive competencies (e.g., achievement andworking attitude, respectively), and class and school characteristics (e.g., degree of urbanization andsocioethnic and cognitive class composition). In explaining differences in level of recommendationthe relative weight of each of these characteristics was determined. The results show pupils’ achievementto be the most important factor by far, which supports the meritocratic principle. In addition,it appears that the phenomenon of ‘over-recommendation’, or categories of pupils with comparableachievement levels receiving different recommendations, does not correlate with ethnicity, cognitiveschool composition and degree of urbanization any longer.

description: We use first-principles density functional theory total energy and linear response phonon calculations to compute the Helmholtz and Gibbs free energy as a function of temperature, pressure, and cell volume in the flexible metal-organic framework material MIL-53(Cr) within the quasiharmonic approximation. GGA and metaGGA calculations were performed, each including empirical van der Waals (vdW) forces under the D2, D3, or D3(BJ) parameterizations. At all temperatures up to 500 K and pressures from -30 MPa to 30 MPa, two minima in the free energy versus volume are found, corresponding to the narrow pore ($np$) and large pore ($lp$) structures. Critical positive and negative pressures are identified, beyond which there is only one free energy minimum. While all results overestimated the stability of the $np$ phase relative to the $lp$ phase, the best overall agreement with experiment is found for the metaGGA PBEsol+RTPSS+U+J approach with D3 or D3(BJ) vdW forces. For these parameterizations, the calculated free energy barrier for the $np$-$lp$ transition is only 3 to 6 kJ per mole of Cr$_4$(OH)$_4$(C$_8$H$_4$O$_4$)$_4$.

Genes within WGCNA modules associated with known KEGG pathways based on over-representation of enriched genes in TG-Abi3-Gngt2-/-mice (relative to TG-Abi3-Gngt2+/+) is depicted in a bubble plot. Pathways with an over-represented p-value ≤ 0.05, the number of module genes within the pathway >5 and an enrichment score >1.5 are depicted. The bubble plot is colored by p-value (blue color; higher p value is indicated by deeper blue hues) and sized by the enrichment score (circle diameter). b-e. WGCNA module membership is plotted against gene connectivity (kWithin) for genes identified within modules significantly correlated with Abi3-Gngt2 genotype and related neuropathology traits in TG-Abi3-Gngt2-/-mice. The top hub genes (as ranked by kWithin values) identified in each co-expression WGCNA modules of 3 month old TG-Abi3-Gngt2-/- mice relative to TG-Abi3-Gngt2+/+ mice. The module members of honeydew1, plum3, sienna3 and plum4 modules are shown, with top hub genes tabulated. Module statistics are denoted by: kWithin, extent of gene connectivity within the module; MM, module membership value (of gene to module); GS, gene significance value to specific experimental trait. f. The overlap of genes within WGCNA modules with genes previously identified in AD-associated microglial and astrocytic sub-types signatures is expressed as odds ratio value. Higher odds ratio is indicated by warmer color. The different cell signatures are: neurotoxic A1 and neurotrophic A2 astrocyte [38]; Plaque-induced gene (PIG) network [21]; Disease-associated microglia (DAM), microglial neurodegenerative phenotype (MGnD) and homeostatic microglia [2425]. All p values are adjusted for multiple testing (padj). Higher odds ratio denotes higher correlation. Grey boxes indicate non-significant odds ratio values. 4 mice (2 male, 2 female) per cohort.

description: We study the conformal bootstrap for 4-point functions of fermions $\langle ψ_i ψ_j ψ_k ψ_{\ell} \rangle$ in parity-preserving 3d CFTs, where $ψ_i$ transforms as a vector under an $O(N)$ global symmetry. We compute bounds on scaling dimensions and central charges, finding features in our bounds that appear to coincide with the $O(N)$ symmetric Gross-Neveu-Yukawa fixed points. Our computations are in perfect agreement with the $1/N$ expansion at large $N$ and allow us to make nontrivial predictions at small $N$. For values of $N$ for which the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa universality classes are relevant to condensed-matter systems, we compare our results to previous analytic and numerical results.

description: In the field of exploratory data mining, local structure in data can be described by patterns and discovered by mining algorithms. Although many solutions have been proposed to address the redundancy problems in pattern mining, most of them either provide succinct pattern sets or take the interests of the user into account-but not both. Consequently, the analyst has to invest substantial effort in identifying those patterns that are relevant to her specific interests and goals. To address this problem, we propose a novel approach that combines pattern sampling with interactive data mining. In particular, we introduce the LetSIP algorithm, which builds upon recent advances in 1) weighted sampling in SAT and 2) learning to rank in interactive pattern mining. Specifically, it exploits user feedback to directly learn the parameters of the sampling distribution that represents the user's interests. We compare the performance of the proposed algorithm to the state-of-the-art in interactive pattern mining by emulating the interests of a user. The resulting system allows efficient and interleaved learning and sampling, thus user-specific anytime data exploration. Finally, LetSIP demonstrates favourable trade-offs concerning both quality-diversity and exploitation-exploration when compared to existing methods.

description: Macroautophagy/autophagy is a highly conserved process in which subcellular components destined for degradation are sequestered within autophagosomes. The selectivity of autophagy is determined by autophagy receptors, such as Pichia pastoris Atg30 (autophagy-related 30), which controls the selective degradation of peroxisomes (pexophagy) through the assembly of a receptor-protein complex (RPC). Previously, we proved that the peroxisomal acyl-CoA-binding protein, Atg37, and the highly conserved peroxin, Pex3, are required for RPC formation and efficient pexophagy. Here, we describe how Atg37 and Pex3 regulate the assembly and activation of the pexophagic RPC. We demonstrate that Atg30 requires both Atg37 and Pex3 to recruit Atg8 and Atg11 to the pexophagic RPC, because Atg37 depends on Pex3 for its localization at the peroxisomal membrane. We establish that due to close proximity of Atg37- and Pex3-binding sites in the middle domain of Atg30, the binding of these proteins to Atg30 is mutually exclusive within this region. We also show that direct binding of Pex3 and Atg37 to Atg30 regulates its phosphorylation by the Hrr25 kinase, negatively and positively, respectively. Based on these results we present a model that clarifies the assembly and activation of the pexophagic RPC through the phosphoregulation of Atg30.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We highlight three conflicts between quantum theory and classical general relativity, which make it implausible that a quantum theory of gravity can be arrived at by quantising classical gravity. These conflicts are: quantum nonlocality and space-time structure; the problem of time in quantum theory; and the quantum measurement problem. We explain how these three aspects bear on each other, and how they point towards an underlying noncommutative geometry of space-time.

Investigating the interactions of microbial pathogens with membrane glycoproteins

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Binding of pathogen to host often involves glycans on host epithelial surfaces, a complex process that poses challenges for in vitro studies. In this thesis, methods were developed to study the binding of bacteria to human epithelial membrane glycoproteins by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common respiratory pathogen of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). A plate assay was developed and revealed differences between the adhesion of clinical strains isolated from four CF patient sputum samples, and a laboratory prototype of P. aeruginosa, to epithelial mucins. Isothermal titration calorimetry was also trialled for measurement of this interaction, but the generation of high background heat compromised the measurement of receptor-binding. Thus the plate assay was used to investigate the role of the glycan component of the glycoproteins in pathogen binding, by assessing bacterial binding before and after treatment of membranes from human epithelial lung cells with glycosidases. All strains increased adhesion following removal of sialic acid, but galactosidase treatment had a varied effect, demonstrating differences between the P. aeruginosa strains in their affinity to different glycan substructures. The findings and techniques developed by this thesis will be useful in future studies that seek to understand more about glycan involvement in pathogen to host adhesion.

description: The minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex, consisting of six subunits, Mcm2-7, is loaded onto replication origins through loading factors (origin recognition complex [ORC], Cdc6, and Cdt1) and forms an MCM double hexamer that licenses the initiation of DNA replication. Previous studies with Xenopus egg extracts showed that loading factors, especially Cdc6, dissociate from chromatin on MCM loading, but the molecular mechanism and physiological significance remain largely unknown. Using a cell-free system for MCM loading onto plasmid DNA in Xenopus egg extracts, we found that MCM loaded onto DNA prevents DNA binding of the loading factors ORC, Cdc6, and Cdt1. We further report that a peptide of the C-terminal region of MCM3 (MCM3-C), previously implicated in the initial association with ORC/Cdc6 in budding yeast, prevents ORC/Cdc6/Cdt1 binding to DNA in the absence of MCM loading. ATP-γ-S suppresses inhibitory activities of both the MCM loaded onto DNA and the MCM3-C peptide. Other soluble factors in the extract, but neither MCM nor Cdt1, are required for the activity. Conservation of the amino acid sequences of MCM3-C and its activity in vertebrates implies a novel negative autoregulatory mechanism that interferes with MCM loading in the vicinity of licensed origins to ensure proper origin licensing.

description: Novel exact solutions of one-dimensional transient dynamic piezoelectric problems for thickness polarized layers and disks, or length polarized rods, are obtained. The solutions are obtained using a time domain Green's function method that leads to an exact analytical recursive procedure which is applicable for a wide variety of boundary conditions including nonlinear cases. A nonlinear damper boundary condition is considered in more detail. The corresponding nonlinear relationship between stresses and velocities at a current time moment is used in the recursive procedure. In addition to the exact recursive procedure that is effective for calculations, some new practically important explicit exact solutions are presented. Several examples of the time behavior of the output electric potential difference are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed exact approach.

description: This study investigates themes with Subjective Well-Being (SWB) concepts among older adults, focusing on differences across age groups and life satisfaction levels in the second half of life. Using data from the German Ageing Survey of 2,438 participants aged 40-85, qualitative responses from a sentence completion questionnaire (SELE) were analyzed through modern text mining approaches. Additionally, the study utilized quantitative data from the Satisfcation With Life Scale (SWLS).  Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) methods identified three primary themes within concepts of SWB: holistic views and family values, specific relationships and emotional challenges, and work-life and leisure balance. The study found a shift in concepts of SWB from younger adults (40-54), who were predominantly associated with holistic views and family values to older adults (55-69, 70-85), who focused on specific relationships and emotional challenges. Furthermore, the results support literature suggesting that the Paradox of Well-Being may only be evident until around age 70. These findings align with theories of successful aging which propose that adaptive responses and shifting priorities are crucial for maintaining well-being. However, the oldest age group in our sample (70-85) was predominantly in the low life satisfaction group, supporting previous literature, suggesting that, after a certain point of decline and loss maintaining well-being becomes increasingly challenging.

description: Studies of the $γ$-ray strength functions can reveal useful information concerning underlying nuclear structure. Accumulated experimental data on the strength functions show an enhancement in the low $γ$ energy region. We have calculated the M1 strength functions for the $^{49,50}$Cr and $^{48}$V nuclei in the $f_{7/2}$ shell-model basis. We find a low-energy enhancement for gamma decay similar to that obtained for other nuclei in previous studies, but for the first time we are also able to study the complete distribution related to M1 emission and absorption. We find that M1 strength distribution peaks at zero transition energy and falls off exponentially. The height of the peak and the slope of the exponential are approximately independent of the nuclei studied in this model space and the range of initial angular momenta. We show that the slope of the exponential fall off is proportional to the energy of the $T=1$ pairing gap.

description: Synechococcus is a ubiquitous genus of photosynthetic marine bacteria, and vital for primary production and nutrient cycling in global oceans. Genomic annotation for this genus has progressed faster than the functional characterisation of predicted proteins. Consequently, the veracity of predicted functions for many genes is questionable. This is particularly so for the substrate-binding protein (SBP) family, integral to nutrient import via ATP-binding cassettes, which display unusually low sequence homology (despite a highly conserved structural fold). Lack of validation concerning the natural ligands of SBP proteins impacts on our depth of understanding of the function and utility of cellular import machinery in these highly prevalent marine microorganisms. A panel of nineteen SBPs annotated to bind saccharides across representative Synechococcus species has been selected for in vitro characterisation. Two alternative formats for high-throughput production were trialled, and the yield and percentage of soluble protein products compared. Recombinant forms of three SBPs have been produced in sufficient quantities to enable ligand screening using differential scanning fluorimetry and biophysical characterisation in solution. The approach undertaken has demonstrated potential to complement genomic data for previously uncharacterised SBPs

description: The minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex, consisting of six subunits, Mcm2-7, is loaded onto replication origins through loading factors (origin recognition complex [ORC], Cdc6, and Cdt1) and forms an MCM double hexamer that licenses the initiation of DNA replication. Previous studies with Xenopus egg extracts showed that loading factors, especially Cdc6, dissociate from chromatin on MCM loading, but the molecular mechanism and physiological significance remain largely unknown. Using a cell-free system for MCM loading onto plasmid DNA in Xenopus egg extracts, we found that MCM loaded onto DNA prevents DNA binding of the loading factors ORC, Cdc6, and Cdt1. We further report that a peptide of the C-terminal region of MCM3 (MCM3-C), previously implicated in the initial association with ORC/Cdc6 in budding yeast, prevents ORC/Cdc6/Cdt1 binding to DNA in the absence of MCM loading. ATP-γ-S suppresses inhibitory activities of both the MCM loaded onto DNA and the MCM3-C peptide. Other soluble factors in the extract, but neither MCM nor Cdt1, are required for the activity. Conservation of the amino acid sequences of MCM3-C and its activity in vertebrates implies a novel negative autoregulatory mechanism that interferes with MCM loading in the vicinity of licensed origins to ensure proper origin licensing.

description: Multi-photon entangled states play a crucial role in quantum information applications such as secure quantum communication, scalable computation, and high-precision quantum metrology. Quantum memory for entangled states is a key component of quantum repeaters, which are indispensable in realizing quantum communications. Storing a single photon or an entangled photon has been realized through different protocols. However, there has been no report demonstrating whether a multi-photon state can be stored in any physical system or not. Here, we report on the experimental storage of a two-photon NOON state in a cold atomic ensemble. Quantum interference measured before and after storage clearly shows that the properties of the two-photon NOON state are preserved during storage. Our experiment completes the first step towards storing a multi-photon entangled state.

description: Purpose: To evaluate the morphology and biometry of pelvic floor structures 3 months after birth in women experiencing first- or second-degree perineal tears or undergoing episiotomy during labor. Material and methods: Prospective observational study including nulliparous women delivering at term with a clinical diagnosis of first- or second-degree perineal tears after birth or undergoing episiotomy. The role of Kristeller maneuver during labor in affecting pelvic structure and function is also explored. All women underwent 2D trans-perineal and 3D endovaginal or endoanal ultrasound 3 months after birth. Results: 115 women assessed 3 months after delivery were enrolled in the study. Compared with controls, women who experienced first-degree perineal tears had higher bladder neck-symphysis (versus 20.9 ± 4.9 versus 16.1 ± 4.9 mm, p = .017), bladder wall-pubic symphysis (22.4 ± 7.4 versus 14.2 ± 9.5 mm, p = .02) and anorectal angle-symphysis distance (12.5 ± 4.7 versus 9.3 ± 4.3 mm, p = .018). Furthermore, they have thicker internal and external anal sphincter. The incidence of partial right and left pubo-rectalis muscle avulsion was higher in women experiencing first-degree vaginal tear during labor (16.2 versus 0%, p = .004 for both). In women affected by second-degree tears, the occurrence of partial avulsion of the right and left pubo-rectalis muscle was 16.2%, while Oasis was detected in 10.8% of the cases. Women receiving Kristeller maneuver during labor had a higher incidence of either right or left puborectalis muscle avulsion. Conclusion: Women who had either first- and second-degree perineal tears or episiotomy show signs of abnormal pelvic morphometry on 3D rotational ultrasound 3 months after birth.
A trinity of duality: non-separable planar maps, $β$-(1,0) trees and synchronized intervals

description: The dual of a map is a fundamental construction on combinatorial maps, but many other combinatorial objects also possess their notion of duality. For instance, the Tamari lattice is isomorphic to its order dual, which induces an involution on the set of so-called "synchronized intervals" introduced by Préville-Ratelle and the present author. Another example is the class of $β$-(1,0) trees, which has a mysterious involution $h$ proposed by Claesson, Kitaev and Steingrímsson (2009). These two classes of combinatorial objects are all in bijection with the class of non-separable planar maps, which is closed by map duality. In this article, we show that we can identify the notions of duality in these three classes of objects using previously known natural bijections, which leads to a bijective proof of a result from Kitaev and de Mier (2013). We also discuss how various statistics are transferred by duality and by the bijections we used.
