description: Salty taste can adversely affect the marketability of wine. To further examine salty taste, basic compositional and sensory assessment was conducted on ‘Chardonnay’ and ‘Shiraz’ wines produced from vines irrigated with salty water with a mean electrical conductivity of 1.5 dS m-1. Vines of the cultivars on own roots and on up to five rootstocks that differed in capacity for chloride and sodium exclusion were used. The sensory attributes salty and viscosity were enhanced for the ‘Chardonnay’ wine from K51-40 rootstock with elevated chloride and sodium concentrations of 407.4 and 374.2 mg L-1, respectively, and a potassium concentration of 470.1 mg L-1, but not affected in ‘Shiraz’ wine from K51-40 with concentrations of 274.1, 130.5 and 1,110 mg L-1, respectively. The salty and viscosity attributes in the ‘Chardonnay’ wine from K51-40 were closely associated and approximately equally correlated with the concentration of chloride and sodium, with the wine also having lower acidity and a higher overall fruit aroma. The chloride concentration in wine that aligns with perception of salty taste by a trained panel may be similar between a white and red wine. Wine chloride concentration above approximately 400 mg L-1 appears linked with, and a potential indicator of, salty taste, however the specific contribution of sodium and potassium requires further study.

description: Approximate methods to populate dark matter halos with galaxies are of great utility to large galaxy surveys. However, the limitations of simple halo occupation models (HODs) preclude a full use of small-scale galaxy clustering data and call for more sophisticated models. We study two galaxy populations, luminous red galaxies (LRGs) and star-forming emission-line galaxies (ELGs), at two epochs, $z=1$ and $z=0$, in the large volume, high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation of the MillenniumTNG project. In a partner study we concentrated on the small-scale, one-halo regime down to $r\sim 0.1{\rm Mpc}/h$, while here we focus on modeling galaxy assembly bias in the two-halo regime, $r\gtrsim 1{\rm Mpc}/h$. Interestingly, the ELG signal exhibits scale dependence out to relatively large scales ($r\sim 20{\rm Mpc}/h$), implying that the linear bias approximation for this tracer is invalid on these scales, contrary to common assumptions. The 10-15\% discrepancy present in the standard halo model prescription is only reconciled when we augment our halo occupation model with a dependence on extrinsic halo properties ("shear" being the best-performing one) rather than intrinsic ones (e.g., concentration, peak mass). We argue that this fact constitutes evidence for two-halo galaxy conformity. Including tertiary assembly bias (i.e. a property beyond mass and "shear") is not an essential requirement for reconciling the galaxy assembly bias signal of LRGs, but the combination of external and internal properties is beneficial for recovering ELG the clustering. We find that centrals in low-mass haloes dominate the assembly bias signal of both populations. Finally, we explore the predictions of our model for higher-order statistics such as nearest-neighbor counts. The latter supplies additional information about galaxy assembly bias and can be used to break degeneracies between halo model parameters.

description: Non-centrosymmetric transition metal monopnictides, including TaAs, TaP, NbAs, and NbP, are emergent topological Weyl semimetals (WSMs) hosting exotic relativistic Weyl fermions. In this letter, we elucidate the physical origin of the unprecedented charge carrier mobility of NbP, which can reach $1\times10^{7}$ cm $^{2}$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$ at 1.5 K. Angle- and temperature-dependent quantum oscillations, supported by density function theory calculations, reveal that NbP has the coexistence of p- and n-type WSM pockets in the $k_{z}$=1.16$π$/c plane (W1-WSM) and in the $k_{z}$=0 plane near the high symmetry points $Σ$ (W2-WSM), respectively. Uniquely, each W2-WSM pocket forms a large dumbbell-shaped Fermi surface (FS) enclosing two neighboring Weyl nodes with the opposite chirality. The magneto-transport in NbP is dominated by these highly anisotropic W2-WSM pockets, in which Weyl fermions are well protected from defect backscattering by real spin conservation associated to the chiral nodes. However, with a minimal doping of $\sim$1\% Cr, the mobility of NbP is degraded by more than two order of magnitude, due to the invalid of helicity protection to magnetic impurities. Helicity protected Weyl fermion transport is also manifested in chiral anomaly induced negative magnetoresistance, controlled by the W1-WSM states. In the quantum regime below 10 K, the intervalley scattering time by impurities becomes a large constant, producing the sharp and nearly identical conductivity enhancement at low magnetic field.

description: Type Ib/c supernovae (SNe Ib/c) mark the deaths of hydrogen-deficient massive stars. The evolutionary scenarios for SNe Ib/c progenitors involve many important physical processes including mass loss by winds and its metallicity dependence, stellar rotation, and binary interactions. This makes SNe Ib/c an excellent test bed for stellar evolution theory. We review the main results of evolutionary models for SN Ib/c progenitors available in the literature and their confrontation with recent observations. We argue that the nature of SN Ib/c progenitors can be significantly different for single and binary systems, and that binary evolution models can explain the ejecta masses derived from SN Ib/c light curves, the distribution of SN Ib/c sites in their host galaxies, and the optical magnitudes of the tentative progenitor candidate of iPTF13bvn. We emphasize the importance of early-time observations of light curves and spectra, accurate measurements of helium mass in SN Ib/c ejecta, and systematic studies about the metallicity dependence of SN Ib/c properties, to better constrain theories.

description: Induction of neuroimmune genes by binge drinking increases neuronal excitability and oxidative stress, contributing to the neurobiology of alcohol dependence and causing neurodegeneration. Ethanol exposure activates signaling pathways featuring high-mobility group box 1 and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), resulting in induction of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells, which regulates expression of several cytokine genes involved in innate immunity, and its target genes. This leads to persistent neuroimmune responses to ethanol that stimulate TLRs and/or certain glutamate receptors (i.e., N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors). Alcohol also alters stress responses, causing elevation of peripheral cytokines, which further sensitize neuroimmune responses to ethanol. Neuroimmune signaling and glutamate excitotoxicity are linked to alcoholic neurodegeneration. Models of alcohol abuse have identified significant frontal cortical degeneration and loss of hippocampal neurogenesis, consistent with neuroimmune activation pathology contributing to these alcohol-induced, long-lasting changes in the brain. These alcohol-induced long-lasting increases in brain neuroimmune-gene expression also may contribute to the neurobiology of alcohol use disorder.

description: We introduce a novel technique for constraining cosmological parameters and galaxy assembly bias using non-linear redshift-space clustering of galaxies. We scale cosmological N-body simulations and insert galaxies with the SubHalo Abundance Matching extended (SHAMe) empirical model to generate over 175,000 clustering measurements spanning all relevant cosmological and SHAMe parameter values. We then build an emulator capable of reproducing the projected galaxy correlation function at the monopole, quadrupole and hexadecapole level for separations between $0.1\,h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$ and $25\,h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$. We test this approach by using the emulator and Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) inference to jointly estimate cosmology and assembly bias parameters both for the MTNG740 hydrodynamic simulation and for a semi-analytical galaxy formation model (SAM) built on the MTNG740-DM dark matter-only simulation, obtaining unbiased results for all cosmological parameters. For instance, for MTNG740 and a galaxy number density of $n\sim 0.01 h^{3}{\rm Mpc}^{-3}$, we obtain $σ_{8}=0.799^{+0.039}_{-0.044}$ ($σ_{8,{\rm MTNG}} =$ 0.8159), and $Ω_\mathrm{M}h^2= 0.138^{+ 0.025}_{- 0.018}$ ($Ω_{\mathrm{M}} h^2_{\rm MTNG} =$ 0.142). For fixed Hubble parameter ($h$), the constraint becomes $Ω_\mathrm{M}h^2= 0.137^{+ 0.011}_{- 0.012}$. Our method performs similarly well for the SAM and for other tested sample densities. We almost always recover the true amount of galaxy assembly bias within one sigma. The best constraints are obtained when scales smaller than $2\,h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$ are included, as well as when at least the projected correlation function and the monopole are incorporated. These methods offer a powerful way to constrain cosmological parameters using galaxy surveys.

Mechanistic and Functional Divergence Between Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone and RO 15-4513 Interactions with Ethanol
Creators: name: McCown, Thomas J.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Both thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and RO 15-4513 antagonize ethanol-induced depression, but this common property does not infer that both compounds share similar mechanisms of action. In the present studies, both TRH (30 mg/kg, i.p.) and RO 15-4513 (10 mg/kg, i.p.) reversed ethanol-induced depression of locomotor activity, in accord with previous reports. However, the benzodiazepine antagonist, RO 15-1788, blocked this action of RO 15-4513, while exerting no effect on the analeptic action of TRH. Using a model of seizure activity electrically elicited from the inferior colliculus, ethanol exerted a dose-related attenuation of seizure activity. This anticonvulsant action of ethanol was not altered by TRH (30 mg/kg, i.p.), but RO 15-4513 (3 mg/kg) reversed the effect of the 0.5, but not the 1.0 g/kg, dose of ethanol. In addition, pretreatment with RO 15-4513 (1 or 3 mg/kg, i.p.), but not TRH (30 mg/kg, i.p.), caused seizure generalization into the forebrain following inferior collicular stimulation, further verifying the proconvulsant properties of RO 15-4513. In conclusion, the analeptic action of TRH appears independent of benzodiazepine activity, and in contrast to RO 15-4513, TRH does not exhibit proconvulsant properties. Furthermore, because TRH did not antagonize both depressant actions of ethanol studied, it appears unlikely that TRH directly interacts with the molecular basis of ethanol action.

description: A principally novel approach towards solving the few-particle (many-dimensional) quantum scattering problems is described. The approach is based on a complete discretization of few-particle continuum and usage of massively parallel computations of integral kernels for scattering equations by means of GPU. The discretization for continuous spectrum of a few-particle Hamiltonian is realized with a projection of all scattering operators and wave functions onto the stationary wave-packet basis. Such projection procedure leads to a replacement of singular multidimensional integral equations with linear matrix ones having finite matrix elements. Different aspects of the employment of a multithread GPU computing for fast calculation of the matrix kernel of the equation are studied in detail. As a result, the fully realistic three-body scattering problem above the break-up threshold is solved on an ordinary desktop PC with GPU for a rather small computational time.

Coupled instabilities drive quasiperiodic order-disorder transitions in Faraday waves

description: We present an experimental study of quasiperiodic transitions between a highly ordered square-lattice pattern and a disordered, defect-riddled state, in a circular Faraday system. We show that the transition is driven initially by a long-wave amplitude modulation instability, which excites the oscillatory transition phase instability, leading to the formation of dislocations in the Faraday lattice. The appearance of dislocations damps amplitude modulations, which prevents further defects from being created and allows the system to relax back to its ordered state. The process then repeats itself in a quasiperiodic manner. Our experiments reveal a surprising coupling between two distinct instabilities in the Faraday system, and suggest that such coupling may provide a generic mechanism for quasiperiodicity in nonlinear driven dissipative systems.

Subjects: subject: Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing (cs.DC)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Failure detection protocols---a fundamental building block for crafting fault-tolerant distributed systems---are in many cases described by their authors making use of informal pseudo-codes of their conception. Often these pseudo-codes use syntactical constructs that are not available in COTS programming languages such as C or C++. This translates into informal descriptions that call for ad hoc interpretations and implementations. Being informal, these descriptions cannot be tested by their authors, which may translate into insufficiently detailed or even faulty specifications. This paper tackles this problem introducing a formal syntax for those constructs and a C library that implements them---a tool-set to express and reason about failure detection protocols. The resulting specifications are longer but non ambiguous, and eligible for becoming a standard form.

description: Interaction of three-dimensional magnetic fields, turbulence, and self-gravity in the molecular cloud is crucial in understanding star formation but has not been addressed so far. In this work, we target the low-mass star-forming region L1688 and use the spectral emissions of $^{12}$CO, $^{13}$CO, C$^{18}$O, and H I, as well as polarized dust emissions. To obtain the 3D direction of the magnetic field, we employ the novel polarization fraction analysis. In combining with the plane-of-the-sky (POS) magnetic field strength derived from the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi (DCF) method and the new Differential Measure Analysis (DMA) technique, we present the first measurement of L1688's three-dimensional magnetic field, including its orientation and strength. We find that L1688's magnetic field has two statistically different inclination angles. The low-intensity tail has an inclination angle $\approx55^\circ$ on average, while that of the central dense clump is $\approx30^\circ$. We find the global mean value of total magnetic field strength is $B_{\rm tot}\approx135$ uG from DCF and $B_{\rm tot}\approx75$ uG from DMA. We use the velocity gradient technique (VGT) to separate the magnetic fields' POS orientation associated with L1688 and its foreground/background. The magnetic fields' orientations are statistically coherent. The probability density function of H$_2$ column density and VGT reveal that L1688 is potentially undergoing gravitational contraction at large scale $\approx1.0$ pc and gravitational collapse at small scale $\approx0.2$ pc. The gravitational contraction mainly along the magnetic field results in an approximate power-law relation $B_{\rm tot}\propto n_{\rm H}^{1/2}$ when volume density $n_{\rm H}$ is less than approximately $6.0\times10^3$ cm$^{-3}$.

description: Superconducting order parameter and its symmetry are important parameters towards deciphering the pairing mechanism in newly discovered superconducting systems. We report a study on penetration depth measurement on Nb2PdS5 that has recently been reported with extremely high upper critical field with possible triplet pairing mechanism. Our data show that at low temperatures the change in penetration depth is best fitted with BCS s-wave model for single gap. The zero-temperature value of the superconducting energy gap is estimated to be Δ0 = 1.05 meV. The superfluid density in the entire temperature range is well described by single gap for λ (0) = 220 nm.

description: A major challenge of particle physics is determining the neutrino mass ordering (MO). Due to matter effects, the flavor content of the neutrino flux from a Core-Collapse Supernova (CCSN) depends on the true neutrino MO resulting in markedly different energy and angle distributions for the measured lepton in water Cherenkov neutrino detectors. In this article, those distributions are compared for eight different CCSN models and used to study how their differences affect the determination of the neutrino mass ordering. In all cases, the inferred neutrino mass ordering is found to be either correct or inconclusive, with no significant false positives. However, the substantial variation observed among model predictions emphasizes the criticality of ongoing research in CCSN modeling.

description: Within the scope of Bianchi type-VI cosmological model we study the role of spinor field in the evolution of the Universe. It is found that due to the spinor affine connections the energy-momentum tensor of the spinor field possesses non-diagonal components. The non-triviality of non-diagonal components of the energy-momentum tensor imposes some severe restrictions either on the spinor field or on the metric functions or on both of them. But unlike in cases of Bianchi type-I or $VI_0$, in case of Bianchi type-VI model it does not lead to the elimination of spinor field nonlinearity or mass term in the spinor field Lagrangian. It is also found that depending on the sign of self-coupling constant the model can give rise to late time acceleration or generate oscillatory mode of evolution.

description: Genetic and pharmacological evidence suggests that the cyclic adenosine monophosphate–dependent protein kinase A pathway modulates neurobiological responses to ethanol. Mutant mice lacking the RIIβ subunit of protein kinase A (RIIβ) are resistant to ethanol-induced sedation and drink significantly more ethanol than littermate wild-type mice (RIIβ). We determined whether high ethanol intake by the RIIβ mice on alternate genetic backgrounds is reliably predicted by high basal levels of anxiety or resistance to the sedative effects of ethanol. Two-bottle choice procedures and a battery of behavioral tests (elevated plus maze, open-field activity, and zero maze) were used to assess voluntary ethanol consumption and basal levels of anxiety in RIIβ and RIIβ mice on either a C57BL/6J or a 129/SvEv × C57BL/6J genetic background. Additionally, ethanol-induced sedation and blood ethanol levels were determined in RIIβ and RIIβ mice after intraperitoneal injection of ethanol (3.8 g/kg). RIIβ mice on both genetic backgrounds consumed more ethanol and had a greater preference for ethanol relative to RIIβ mice. However, RIIβ mice showed reduced basal levels of anxiety when maintained on the C57BL/6J background but showed increased anxiety when maintained on the 129/SvEv × C57BL/6J background. Consistent with prior research, RIIβ mice were resistant to the sedative effects of ethanol, regardless of the genetic background. Finally, RIIβ and RIIβ mice showed similar blood ethanol levels. These results indicate that high ethanol consumption is associated with resistance to the sedative effects of ethanol but that basal levels of anxiety, as well as ethanol metabolism, do not reliably predict high ethanol drinking by RIIβ mice.

description: Recent genetic and pharmacological evidence indicates that low neuropeptide Y (NPY) levels in brain regions involved with neurobiological responses to ethanol promote increased ethanol consumption. Because of their opposing actions, it has been suggested that NPY and corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) exert a reciprocal regulation on drug self-administration. It has been widely reported that inbred C57BL/6 mice consume significantly higher amounts of ethanol than do DBA/2 mice. Therefore, we used immunohistochemical techniques to determine if basal NPY and/or CRF levels differed in predicted directions between C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mice.

description: Although H$_{2}$ is the simplest and the most abundant molecule in the Universe, its formation in the interstellar medium, especially in the photodissociation regions is far from being fully understood. According to suggestions, the formation of H$_{2}$ is catalyzed by polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the surface of interstellar grains. In the present study, we have investigated the catalytic effect of small PAHs with an imperfect aromatic system. Quantum chemical computations were performed for the H-atom-abstraction and H-atom-addition reactions of benzene, cyclopentadiene, cycloheptatriene, indene, and 1H-phenalene. Heights of reaction barriers and tunneling reaction rate constants were computed with density functional theory using the MPWB1K functional. For each molecule, the reaction path and the \warn{rate constants} were determined at 50 K using ring-polymer instanton theory, and the temperature dependence of the \warn{rate constants} was investigated for cyclopentadiene and cycloheptatriene. The computational results reveal that defects in the aromatic system compared to benzene can increase the rate of the catalytic H$_{2}$ formation at 50 K.

description: The melanocortin (MC) system is composed of peptides that are cleaved from the polypeptide precursor proopiomelanocortin. A growing body of literature suggests that the MC system modulates neurobiological responses to drugs of abuse. Because ethanol has direct effects on central proopiomelanocortin activity, it is possible that MC neuropeptides participate in the control of voluntary ethanol consumption. Here we assessed the possibility that MC receptor (MCR) agonists modulate ethanol intake via the MC3 receptor (MC3R) and/or the MC4 receptor (MC4R) and whether the MCR antagonist AgRP-(83-132) controls ethanol consumption.

description: Interstellar (ISM) and circumgalactic mediums (CGM) around galaxies are linked to several physical processes that drive galaxy evolution. For example, the X-ray emission from the CGM gas around ellipticals has been linked to the AGN feedback occurring in the host. Upcoming telescopes, such as HUBS with ~2 eV resolution, can provide us with deep insights about the hot gas properties of such galaxies thus constrain these processes. In this project, we discuss X-ray emission of the ISM and CGM of elliptical galaxies simulated using MACER code. We generate X-ray emission data from the MACER simulations with various feedback models and produce mock observations for an instrument with high spectral resolution, which is a necessary step of selecting sources for the future observations with planned mission such as HUBS. More importantly, we establish connections between the physics of AGN and stellar feedback with the emission spectra from the ISM and CGM to investigate the possibility of using observations to constrain feedback models. We fit the X-ray spectra from these simulations with standard fitting procedures and compare the retrieved physical properties with their counterparts from the simulations to understand whether the future high-resolution observations can reliably reveal the properties of the gas in the galaxies.
