description: In support of art investigation, we propose a new source separation method that unmixes a single X-ray scan acquired from double-sided paintings. In this problem, the X-ray signals to be separated have similar morphological characteristics, which brings previous source separation methods to their limits. Our solution is to use photographs taken from the front and back-side of the panel to drive the separation process. The crux of our approach relies on the coupling of the two imaging modalities (photographs and X-rays) using a novel coupled dictionary learning framework able to capture both common and disparate features across the modalities using parsimonious representations; the common component models features shared by the multi-modal images, whereas the innovation component captures modality-specific information. As such, our model enables the formulation of appropriately regularized convex optimization procedures that lead to the accurate separation of the X-rays. Our dictionary learning framework can be tailored both to a single- and a multi-scale framework, with the latter leading to a significant performance improvement. Moreover, to improve further on the visual quality of the separated images, we propose to train coupled dictionaries that ignore certain parts of the painting corresponding to craquelure. Experimentation on synthetic and real data - taken from digital acquisition of the Ghent Altarpiece (1432) - confirms the superiority of our method against the state-of-the-art morphological component analysis technique that uses either fixed or trained dictionaries to perform image separation.

description: We have analyzed the singularities of a triangle loop integral in detail and derived a formula for an easy evaluation of the triangle singularity on the physical boundary. It is applied to the $Λ_b \rightarrow J/ψK^{-} p$ process via $Λ^*$-charmonium-proton intermediate states. Although the evaluation of absolute rates is not possible, we identify the $χ_{c1}$ and the $ψ(2S)$ as the relatively most relevant states among all possible charmonia up to the $ψ(2S)$. The $Λ(1890)\, χ_{c1}\, p$ loop is very special as its normal threshold and triangle singularities merge at about 4.45 GeV, generating a narrow and prominent peak in the amplitude in the case that the $χ_{c1}\, p$ is in an $S$-wave. We also see that loops with the same charmonium and other $Λ^*$ hyperons produce less dramatic peaks from the threshold singularity alone. For the case of $χ_{c1}\, p \rightarrow J/ψ\, p$ and quantum numbers $3/2^-$ or $5/2^+$ one needs $P$- and $D$-waves, respectively, in the $χ_{c1}\, p$, which drastically reduce the strength of the contribution and smooth the threshold peak. In this case we conclude that the singularities cannot account for the observed narrow peak. In the case of $1/2^+$, $3/2^+$ quantum numbers, where $χ_{c1}\, p \rightarrow J/ψ\, p$ can proceed in an $S$-wave, the $Λ(1890)\,χ_{c1}\,p$ triangle diagram could play an important role, though can neither assert their strength without further input from experiments and lattice QCD calculations.

description: Denne artikel beskriver rammerne og indholdet i de to nye samfundsøkonomiske manualer på transportområdet, såvel som de ændringer, der er foretaget i forhold til den nuværende. Formålet med artiklen og oplægget på Trafikdagene er todelt. Det giver for det første mulighed for at præsentere arbejdet med manualen, men lige så vigtigt, er det en mulighed for Transportministeriet at få input til den videre proces. Det oprindelige kompromis i den nuværende manual mellem faglig dybde og overordnet orienteringsbehov ændres, således at der udarbejdes to publikationer. Disse to publikationer vil i højere grad end den nuværende manual være målrettet to forskellige målgrupper: • En pædagogisk skrevet manual for de, der har behov for at forstå den grundlæggende metode og de centrale resultater. Den pædagogiske manual er primært rettet mod personer, der ikke nødvendigvis udarbejder samfundsøkonomiske analyser, men er brugere heraf og derfor har behov for et overordnet indblik i samfundsøkonomisk analyse. Manualen skal gøre disse personer i stand til at forstå analysens resultater. • En mere teknisk vejledning i form af en række arbejdspapirer, der er rettet mod de fagfolk, der skal arbejde med samfundsøkonomisk metode til daglig. Ved at udgive vejledningen som arbejdspapirer bliver den tekniske vejledning lettere at opdatere i fremtiden. Arbejdet resulterer i de nævnte to publikationer, og skal udgøre et opdateret grundlag for de fremadrettede samfundsøkonomiske analyser på transportområdet for såvel infrastrukturinvesteringer som transportpolitiske tiltag i bredere forstand.

description: Maintaining a good image of political leaders is significant to ensure their political life. The image of political leaders, including presidents of any country, is threatened when they are facing critical situations. There is a necessity to repair the image of presidents when threatened with crises. This effort of image repair by presidents is mostly covered by local or foreign media, and this coverage might be positive or negative. This study examines the coverage by the Malaysian media, specifically New Straits Times (NST), on the Palestinian Presidents, Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas and their portrayal towards several crises. Both image repair theory and framing perspective were used to guide the study. A total of 2715 news stories have been found about Palestinian issues in the 21 year period covered from 1996-2016. A total of 531 stories were related to Palestinian Presidents, 456 stories were on crises. This study employing content analysis has revealed three main crises faced by the Palestinian Presidents, namely political, social, and economic crisis. The political crises included: peace process, internal conflict, foreign pressure, Israeli attacks, Israeli blockade, Palestinian attacks, Israeli threats, clashes, demonstrations, Israeli spying, kidnapping, and relations breakdown. The social crises included: corruption, information leakage, cheating, false information, Israeli rumours, and Israeli slanders. The economic crises included only financial crisis. Palestinian Presidents have used all the main image repair strategies, namely denial, evasion of responsibility, reducing offensiveness, corrective action, and mortification. These strategies have been included in the 50 news stories. The number of used sub-image repair strategies was 61. The employed sub-strategies were simple denial, shifting the blame, provocation, defeasibility, attack accuser, correct/solve problem, confess/admit, and apology. Neutral slant of news stories was the most prevalent slant by NST, followed by positive, negative, and balanced slants respectively. But President Arafat received more coverage than President Abbas. The contribution of study came through matching the types of crisis with image repair strategies since understanding the crisis and determining its type is important for choosing the most suitable response strategy for it. Observing the framing of crises by certain media provides crisis managers and their organisations the most fitted crisis response through using image repair strategies which reduce the damaged image. Another contribution is by combining image repair as public relations theory with framing as journalism theory in this study.
Samfundsøkonomiske analyser af cykelsuperstierne

description: Denne rapport præsenterer resultaterne af de samfundsøkonomiske analyser, vi har gennemført af de planlagte og foreslåede cykelsuperstier i Region Hovedstaden. Analyserne er de mest omfattende sam- fundsøkonomiske analyser, der hidtil er lavet af cykelinfrastruktur. Resultaterne af analyserne viser, at der er store forskelle i det samfundsøkonomiske afkast for de analyserede cykelsuperstier, men også at kon- ceptet bag cykelsuperstierne som helhed giver et stort positivt samfundsøkonomisk afkast. Samarbejdet om cykelsuperstierne startede i 2009 med det formål at lave et net af cykelpendlerruter i ho- vedstadsregionen. Samarbejdet mellem kommunerne i hovedstadsregionen er et vigtigt fundament for at udvikle grøn vækst og bæredygtig transport i regionen. Visionen for cykelsuperstierne er, at hele hoved- stadsregionen skal udvikle sig til verdens bedste cykelregion. Cykling har en lang række direkte og indirekte effekter, som bidrager positivt til samfundet. Fx ved man, at: • øget cyklisme sparer både cyklisterne og resten af samfundet for sygedage — og fremtidige sund- hedsudgifter. • forbedret fremkommelighed for cykler kan bidrage til at reducere trængslen på vejene og reduce- re miljøbelastningen fra trafikken — fx CO2 , NOx m.m. Der er et stort sammenfald mellem øget cyklisme og kommunernes målsætning inden for andre områder. Bl.a. vil øget cyklisme bidrage til kommunernes målsætning om, at • trængslen skal reduceres • sygefraværet skal falde • klimapåvirkningerne skal begrænses • udledningen af sundhedsskadelig NOx skal reduceres. Der findes imidlertid kun meget sparsom viden om, hvordan investeringer i cyklisme bidrager til målsæt- ningerne, og hvor meget man får for pengene i forhold til mere målrettede tiltag. Der er desuden relativt lidt viden om, hvordan fx sundhedsgevinsterne ved cyklisme fordeler sig på forskellige offentlige kasser, hvilket vil være vigtigt, når finansieringen af større cykeltiltag som fx cykelsuperstierne skal findes. I det følgende giver vi først en introduktion til konceptet ”Cykelsupersti”. I afsnit 3 gennemgår vi de sam- fundsøkonomiske resultater og den samfundsøkonomiske metode i afsnit 4. De trafikale input, der ligger til grund for de samfundsøkonomiske analyser, bliver gennemgået i afsnit 5.

description: The National Agricultural Statistics Service conducts surveys, during the growing season, to collect plant counts and measurements for forecasting yields of major agricultural crops such as corn, cotton, soybeans and wheat. Plot level data are aggregated to the regional (multi-state) level and used to build regression forecast models. In order to improve the accuracy of August 1 and September 1 yield forecasts, a cumulative precipitation term, indicating total precipitation from April 1 until the forecast date, was added to the models at a regional six-state level. This additional data was believed to contain information which would be helpful in crop yield forecasting. The analysis indicated that the accuracy of the regional soybean yield forecasts was not improved using this precipitation term. Additional analysis is recommended to evaluate the impact of different precipitation terms on soybean yield forecasts at the regional and state levels, and to evaluate the use of precipitation data in forecasting crop yields for corn, cotton and wheat.

description: Education is an everlastingly debated topic amongst people. As a new ramification of this new era, online study platforms have developed as the high-technology industry has grown so quickly and generated a considerable number of products with a high popularity in recent years. Most students and families take advantage of online study's ease, convenience, and efficiency. However, they did not imagine that, one day in the future, online study would be the dominant route for them to receive academic knowledge. The COVID-19 limited on-site classes; therefore, most schools, including primary schools, middle schools, high schools, and universities, granted teachings via online study platforms. Zoom and Canvas have become two closest study partners accompanying students during the pandemic. Different levels of accessibility to electronic devices and the Internet significantly impact students' progress in learning. The reports show that the difference in learning progress among the same-grade students in developing contexts with a deficiency of online study resources enlarged after experiencing a two-year pandemic (Dorn, 2021). As the world is gradually recovering from the pandemic, it is essential for teachers, educators, and schools, to think about how to help students to catch up or shorten the gap among the same-grade students. This writing will analyze an existing math curriculum, JUMP Math Curriculum, and develop a business proposal to operate an online study platform, open for both educational departments (organizations) in Peru and investors to improve the learning efficiency and further bridge the gap.
Samfundsøkonomisk evaluering af kampagnen ’Alle Børn Cykler’.

description: Cyklistforbundet har i omtrent et ti-år gennemført kampagnen ’Alle Børn Cykler’. Kampagnen er vokset fra et beskedent antal tilmeldte i det første år til at være en stor succes. Alene fra 2007 til 2012 er antallet af tilmeldte vokset fra 112.000 til 142.000. Artiklen beskæftiger sig med at beskrive de samfundsøkonomiske effekter af kampagnens gennemførelse i de sidste 4-5 år. Artiklen beskriver, hvordan vi har gennemført analysen og dermed, hvordan vi identificerer den samlede gevinst i form af en intern rente på omtrent 15 %. Vi har opdelt beregningerne i to dele: en samfundsøkonomisk analyse, hvor kun de mest sikre gevinster er medtaget og en udvidet analyse, hvor andre effekter, der umiddelbart er sværere at opgøre tages med. Vi vælger denne tilgang, fordi metodegrundlaget ikke er lige så nagelfast, som når det drejer sig om voksne. Den første delanalyse medregner derfor de effekter, som vi mener man uden tvivl kan tilskrive kampagnen, mens den anden delanalyse medregner flere effekter, som også er sandsynlige, men dog ikke kan beskrives med lige så stor sikkerhed. Den i forvejen positive samfundsøkonomiske værdi bliver ved denne øvelse endnu større. For at finde frem til det først bud på den samfundsøkonomiske effekt af kampagnen, gør vi os flere antagelser. Vi antager f.eks. forsigtigt at effekten af kampagnen på børnenes cykelvaner kun afgrænser sig til selve kampagne-perioden, og finder her frem til, at effekten af kampagnen på antal kørte kilometer i 2012 er mere end + 1 million. Ligeledes forsigtigt indregner vi ikke besparelser ved reduceret produktionstab hos forældrene som følge af forbedret sundhed hos børnene, men finder stadig betydelige positive samfundsøkonomiske effekter med baggrund i sundhedsfaktorer.

description: Using the process of cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), we generate a narrow-band polarization-entangled photon pair resonant on the rubidium (Rb) D1 line (795 nm). The degenerate single-mode photon pair is selected by multiple temperature controlled etalons. The linewidth of generated polarization-entangled photon pairs is 15 MHz which matches the typical atomic memory bandwidth. The measured Bell parameter for the polarization-entangled photons S=2.73+-0.04 which violates the Bell-CHSH inequality by ~18 standard deviations. The presented entangled photon pair source could be utilized in quantum communication and quantum computing based on quantum memories in atomic ensemble.
Samfundsøkonomisk prioritering af ressourcer til klimatilpasning af veje - principper og metode

description: I de senere år har vi i Danmark oplevet flere hændelser med ekstrem nedbør, som kan hænge sammen med klimaændringer som følge af global opvarmning. Centralt for vurderingerne af fremtidens klima er, at der som følge af højere temperaturer i atmosfæren vil komme mere nedbør, både som sum over året, men også i form af mere intensiv nedbør. Der kan også forventes hyppigere og kraftige storme. Hertil kommer stigninger i havniveauet som følge af afsmeltning af is ved polerne. Formålet har været at udvikle en samfundsøkonomisk baseret metode, som Vejdirektoratet kan bruge til at prioritere en given mænge ressourcer til klimatilpasning. Kravet har været, at metoden skal a) kunne bruges til at prioritere mellem og rangordne et antal klimatilpasningsaktiviteter inden for en given økonomisk ramme b) være let forståelig, konsistent og bygge på normale samfundsøkonomiske principper og c) kunne videreudvikles til implementering på et senere tidspunkt. Nogle af de seneste års klimarelaterede hændelser – f.eks. oversvømmelserne af Lyngbyvej – har været meget omfattende – ikke blot spektakulært men også trafikalt med en række omkostninger for trafikanterne og samfundet til følge. Hvor der ved eksempelvis tilrettelæggelse af ulykkesbekæmpelse eller trængsel foreligger velafprøvede samfundsøkonomiske prioriteringsmetoder til at prioritere mellem forskellige projekter, er situationen i forhold til samfundsøkonomisk prioritering af klimatilpasningsprojekter noget mere jomfruelig. Set i lyset af at klimahændelser må forventes at være stigende, og at ressourcerne til forbedringer af statsvejnettet ikke er ubegrænsede, er det nødvendigt at have et prioriteringsgrundlag med baggrund i samfundsøkonomisk tankegang.

description: The paper describes an activity based model for Copenhagen, introducing the concept of ‘Primary Family Priority Time’ (PFPT). We postulate that for pre-agreed workdays all family members spend time together at home in shared activities, e.g. dinner or childcare, and that PFPT has higher priority than each person’s own related activities, such as work and leisure. The conference paper presents the concept of PFPT and discusses how it fits into our demand model. Model estimation results are presented, including sub-models for PFPT participation, as well as its impacts in the model estimation results of the other model components.

description: GPS data collection has become an important means of investigating travel behaviour, as it ideally provides far more detailed information than traditional travel survey methods. While setting fewer requirements to the respondents, it however sets high requirements to the post processing of the data collected. This study proposes a combined fuzzy logic‐ and GIS‐based algorithm to process raw GPS data. The algorithm is applied to GPS data collected in the highly complex Greater Copenhagen Area network and detects trip legs and distinguishes between five modes of transport. The algorithm shows promising results by (i) identifying trip legs for 82% of the reported trip legs, (ii) not classifying non‐trips such as scatter around activities as trip legs and (iii) identifying the correct mode of transport in more than 90% of trip legs for which corresponding observed modes are available.

description: We present a compact experimental apparatus for Bose-Einstein condensation of $^{87}$Rb in the $|F = 2, m_F = +2\rangle$ state. A pre-cooled atomic beam of $^{87}$Rb is obtained by using an unbalanced magneto-optical trap, allowing controlled transfer of trapped atoms from the first vacuum chamber to the science chamber. Here, atoms are transferred to a hybrid trap, as produced by overlapping a magnetic quadrupole trap with a far-detuned optical trap with crossed beam configuration, where forced radiofrequency evaporation is realized. The final evaporation leading to Bose-Einstein condensation is then performed by exponentially lowering the optical trap depth. Control and stabilization systems of the optical trap beams are discussed in detail. The setup reliably produces a pure condensate in the $|F = 2, m_F = +2\rangle$ state in 50 s, which include 33 s loading of the science magneto-optical trap and 17 s forced evaporation.

description: Traditional studies of memristive devices have mainly focused on their applications in non-volatile information storage and information processing. Here, we demonstrate that the third fundamental component of information technologies { the transfer of information { can also be employed with memristive devices. For this purpose, we introduce a metastable memristive circuit. Combining metastable memristive circuits into a line, one obtains an architecture capable of transferring a signal edge from one space location to another. We emphasize that the suggested transmission lines employ only resistive components. Moreover, their networks (for example, Y-connected lines) have an information processing capability.

description: A superclimbing dislocation spread over several valleys of Peierls potential in solid Helium-4 represents a non-Luttinger Liquid according to the elementary scaling dimensional analysis because its excitation spectrum is parabolic. Monte Carlo simulations, however, reveal that such a dislocation develops Luttinger Liquid behavior, which can also undergo a transition into insulating state. External bias can restore the parabolic spectrum. An experimental verification of the effect is proposed.
Modelling of hydro-mechanical shakedown and ratcheting of unsaturated granular materials

description: Transport pavements commonly use granular materials due to their superior mechanical properties and cost-effectiveness. But their performance can be hindered by inadequate densification, excessive traffic loads, and climate change effects. This thesis develops a novel constitutive model and numerical techniques to simulate granular pavement performance due to these effects accurately. This development significantly enhances our capability to predict granular materials' performance under different loading and water saturation conditions for better design of transport pavements.

description: Der er stort fokus på at forbedre brændstoføkonomien i transportbranchen generelt. I denne artikel anvendes brændstoftallene fra Controller Area Network Bus (CANBus) kombineret med GPS data til at skabe et digitalt vejkort, hvor det er muligt at sammenligne de hurtigste ruter med de mest brændstoføkonomiske ruter. Kortet er baseret på ca. 100 millioner CANBus observationer og ca. 2,1 milliarder GPS observationer. Hovedkonklusionen er, at CANBus data kan anvendes til at estimere brændstofforbruget for en rute. Sammenlignet med estimering af køretider er det mere kompliceret at estimere brændstofforbrug fordi der er eksterne faktorer som påvirker forbruget f.eks. chaufførens kørestil, køretøjs vedligeholdelsesstand og vejret. På websiden daisy.aau.dk/its kan hurtigste, korteste og mest brændstoføkonomiske rute sammenlignes for hele Danmark.

title: Bereitstellung von Open Source Software in der Energiewirtschaft – Ein Leitfaden
Creators: name: Becker, Gregor
Publisher: name: FH Münster - University of Applied Sciences
Year: 2023

description: Programmierung von Open Source Software in der Energiewirtschaft nimmt seit Beginn der 2000er stetig zu. Dies gilt sowohl für den Bereich der Forschung und Entwicklung, als auch für die Industrie und Wirtschaft. So werden beispielsweise Modelle zur Planung und Optimierung von Energiesystemen umgesetzt. Eine Open Source Veröffentlichung ist in diesem Forschungsfeld besonders wichtig, um die Überprüfbarkeit von Modellannahmen sowie der Vergleichbarkeit verschiedener Modellansätze zu garantieren. Einer Open-Source Veröffentlichung stehen jedoch häufig die Hürden von hohem Fristendruck, fehlender Finanzierung und fehlendem Detailwissen der Publizierenden entgegen. Deshalb bleiben diese Softwareprodukte meist im Entwurfsstadium und sind daher schwierig wieder zu verwenden. Mithilfe des neu erarbeiteten Schritt-für-Schritt Leitfadens zur standardisierten Implementierung einer Open Source Software, wird die Hürde und der zeitliche Aufwand zur Standardisierung von Open Source Repositories weitestgehend reduziert. Hierbei wird für jedem Bestandteil des zu standardisierenden Repositorys eine umfassende Erklärung der üblichen Standards sowie eine Empfehlung für unterstützende Softwarelösungen ausgesprochen. Der Leitfaden orientiert sich an den aus der ISO 12207 resultierenden Phasen des Softwarelebenszyklus und ermöglicht einen Einstieg zu jedem Entwicklungsstand der Software. Seine grafische Aufbereitung in Form eines Prozessablaufplans erleichtert die Einschätzung des individuellen Status der Standardisierung eines vorliegenden Open Source Projektes. Als Treiber der Standardisierung eines Open Source Projektes sind insbesondere die bessere Lesbarkeit, Wartbarkeit und Testbarkeit der standardisierten Open Source Software wichtig. Bei der Anwendung auf das bereits bestehende Open Source Projekt des Spreadsheet Energy System Model Genarators fiel auf, dass ein verspäteter Einstieg in ein systematisches Vorgehen (wie er mit dem Leitfaden dieser Arbeit gegeben wird) zu erheblichen Mehraufwand bei der Standardisierung führen kann. Dennoch konnten im Zuge der Umsetzung des erarbeiteten Leitfadens weitreichende Verbesserungen des Projektes vor dem Hintergrund der Standardisierung erreicht werden (z. B. Versionierung & Wartbarkeit). Insgesamt lässt sich festhalten, dass eine frühestmögliche Standardisierung der Open Source Repositories durchgeführt werden sollte, um spätere Mehrarbeit zu vermeiden und die frühstmögliche Wiederverwendbarkeit für Dritte zu gewährleisten.

description: Ren-luftzoner, hvor der stilles højere miljøkrav til køretøjer inden for et geografisk område, er et muligt virkemiddel til at forbedre luftkvaliteten i de større byer og til at reducere antallet af overskridelser af grænseværdien for kvælstofdioxid (NO2). Ren-luftzoner er et nyt ord for miljøzoner. Det nye ved ren-luftzoner er, at de stiller miljøkrav til ældre person- og varebiler, og ikke kun som de eksisterende miljøzoner til lastbiler og busser. Denne artikel vurderer effekten af forskellige udformninger af ren-luftzoner, og hvilken betydning det har for emission og luftkvalitet i 2013, 2015 og 2017 med udgangspunkt i scenarieberegninger gennemført i 2012. Dette sker med udgangspunkt i H.C. Andersens Boulevard i København, hvor NO2 grænseværdien er overskrevet. Den mest vidtgående ren-luftzone beskrevet i denne artikel vil føre til en beregnet reduktion i NOx emissionen på knap 13% svarende til en reduktion af NO2 koncentrationen på knap 3 μg/m3 i 2015.

description: We demonstrate the optical addressability of the spin of an individual Chromium atom (Cr) embedded in a semiconductor quantum dot. The emission of Cr-doped quantum dots and their evolution in magnetic field reveal a large magnetic anisotropy of the Cr spin induced by local strain. This results in the zero field splitting of the 0, +-1 and +-2 Cr spin states and in a thermalization on the magnetic ground states 0 and +-1. The observed strong spin to strain coupling of Cr is of particular interest for the development of hybrid spin-mechanical devices where coherent mechanical driving of an individual spin in an oscillator is needed. The magneto-optical properties of Cr-doped quantum dots are modelled by a spin Hamiltonian including the sensitivity of the Cr spin to the strain and the influence of the quantum dot symmetry on the carrier-Cr spin coupling.

description: Opening Keynote. Force 11 Annual Conference 2023. 18 April. Online. https://force11.org/force2023/ Title: When institutions fail communities get busy. Putting open scholarly data in the hands of people who care. Abstract The Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative is a project that was born of frustration. We wanted to help senior leaders in our university to look beyond league tables and citation counts as indicators of the ‘quality’ and ‘value’ of research, and to start new conversations about why openness and diversity matter. By combining critical humanities perspectives with cloud based computing and data science expertise, we have been able to engage with publicly available data relating to global research communication at scale. As we have discovered, community investments in open metadata infrastructures have led to a phase-change in what open data can now deliver. Questions about the impacts of making research open; the openness of research associated with particular topics, institutions, and regions; as well as the diversity of communities making and using expert knowledge can all be explored through entirely open data sets. But in spite of the availability of open data sets, and the need for research evaluation tools that can support diversity and local context, commercial data continues to dominate the research evaluation space. In this talk, I will introduce the work that the Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative is doing with open data; and ask what we can learn from other activist communities about strategies that work in the face of commercial monopolies and institutional limitations.

description: Snake venom research has historically focused on front-fanged species (Viperidae and Elapidae), limiting our knowledge of venom evolution in rear-fanged snakes across their ecologically diverse phylogeny. Three-finger toxins (3FTxs) are a known neurotoxic component in the venoms of some rear-fanged snakes (Colubridae: Colubrinae), but it is unclear how prevalent 3FTxs are both in expression within venom glands and more broadly among colubrine species. Here, we used a transcriptomic approach to characterize the venom expression profiles of four species of colubrine snakes from the Neotropics that were dominated by 3FTx expression (in the genera Chironius, Oxybelis, Rhinobothryum, and Spilotes). By reconstructing the gene trees of 3FTxs, we found evidence of putative novel heterodimers in the sequences of Chironius multiventris and Oxybelis aeneus, revealing an instance of parallel evolution of this structural change in 3FTxs among rear-fanged colubrine snakes. We also found positive selection at sites within structural loops or “fingers” of 3FTxs, indicating these areas may be key binding sites that interact with prey target molecules. Overall, our results highlight the importance of exploring the venoms of understudied species in reconstructing the full evolutionary history of toxins across the tree of life.
