description: In many parts of the world, protected areas harbour permanent livestock that range freely with native herbivores. These domestic animals are typically an undesirable ecosystem component because they pose a challenge to park managers and biologists who wish to maintain ‘natural’ species interactions and diversity. Studies dealing with livestock in protected areas have primarily focussed on interactions such as competition for food resources with native herbivores, habitat degradation, and human-carnivore conflicts caused by livestock depredation. The negative effects of such interactions are a major threat to the survival of many mammalian prey and predator species. However, the role of indirect interactions between native herbivores and domestic prey, via their common enemy, has received comparatively little attention and poses a significant knowledge gap in understanding the net impacts of domestic prey on native herbivores. We present our perspectives on ignored or missed indirect interactions in livestock–native ungulate systems, and suggest some management actions for understanding these systems and minimising conflicts. A broader understanding of indirect interactions among livestock, native herbivores and their predators will aid in more informed protected-area management.
Using LLVM-based JIT Compilation in Genetic Programming

description: The paper describes an approach to implementing genetic programming, which uses the LLVM library to just-in-time compile/interpret the evolved abstract syntax trees. The solution is described in some detail, including a parser (based on FlexC++ and BisonC++) that can construct the trees from a simple toy language with C-like syntax. The approach is compared with a previous implementation (based on direct execution of trees using polymorphic functors) in terms of execution speed.

description: How can we learn to think ecologically when our technological, social, aesthetic and political systems are built on the primacy of human rationality? Helen Mayer Harrison (1927-2018) and Newton Harrison's (b. 1932) practice as artists borrows from that very rationality to offer a repositioning of the human within the ecological. It is founded in the deceptively simple principle of only making work that in some way addresses the wellbeing of the web of life. We explore the challenge of developing this new imaginary drawing on two of the Harrisons' Survival Pieces (1971-74) and works including Meditation on the Great Lakes of North America (1977), The Lagoon Cycle (1985), and Serpentine Lattice (1993). We tack closely to Isabelle Stengers' approach to 'thinking with' developed principally in her work Thinking with Whitehead (2011). As a philosopher of science she looks to Whitehead, the mathematician and process philosopher, to support a way to address the environmental crisis. We work with Stengers/Whitehead's concepts such as 'the leap of imagination' required to address the existing and problematic 'bifurcation of nature': the nature that we experience sensorially in everyday life and the nature constructed by scientific instrumentation that cannot be accessed through the sensorium. We draw on her questions such as "…what it (e.g. ways of thinking in science) does to thought, what it obliges one to do, what it renders important, and what it makes remain silent." and "...how is the contrast between success and defeat defined for it?" (Stengers 2011, p.19-22). 'Thinking with' helps us to trace the development of the Harrisons' practice as ecological artists and surface the contradictions generated by making art that addresses the wellbeing of the lifeweb. It informs understanding of how artists learn from other artists.

description: Two new hybrid compounds, [Cu(1)(phen)(H2O)][Cu(2)(phen)(H2O)]([Cu(3)]0.25(H2O)][P2Mo5O23]·3.75H2O (1) and [Cu(en)2]1.5[P2Mo5O23]2·(enH2)3·2H2O (2) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, en = ethylenediamine), have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), powder XRD analyses, TG analyses, cyclic voltammogram analyses, elemental analyses, and single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the two compounds have a 1-D chain structure formed by Strandberg-type POMs and TMCs with –A–B–C–B–A–B–C–B– linking mode, then further extend into a 2-D layer structure through π⋯π or hydrogen bond interactions.

description: Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is one of the key techniques to address the high spectral efficiency and massive connectivity requirements for the fifth generation (5G) wireless system. To efficiently realize NOMA, we propose a joint design framework combining the polar coding and the NOMA transmission, which deeply mines the generalized polarization effect among the users. In this polar coded NOMA (PC-NOMA) framework, the original NOMA channel is decomposed into multiple bit polarized channels by using a three-stage channel transform, that is, user$\to$signal$\to$bit partitions. Specifically, for the first-stage channel transform, we design two schemes, namely sequential user partition (SUP) and parallel user partition (PUP). For the SUP, a joint successive cancellation detecting and decoding scheme is developed, and a search algorithm is proposed to schedule the NOMA detecting order which improves the system performance by enhanced polarization among the user synthesized channels. The "worst-goes-first" idea is employed in the scheduling strategy, and its theoretic performance is analyzed by using the polarization principle. For the PUP, a corresponding parallel detecting scheme is exploited to reduce the latency. The block error ratio performances over the additive white Gaussian noise channel and the Rayleigh fading channel indicate that the proposed PC-NOMA obviously outperforms the state-of-the-art turbo coded NOMA scheme due to the advantages of joint design between the polar coding and NOMA.

description: The role of parasitic infections in urticaria is an attention subject. At the same time the matter as a whole remains in many respects unresolved. The mechanism of development of urticaria at a parasitic infection connect with development of antibodies as a part of IgE to various structures of a parasite. The analysis of literature and own supervision allowed to allocate some distinctive characteristics of different types of urtikarny rash. Development of urticaria in children with a gastrointestinal symptoms demands complex inspection for an exception of infectious pathology, including parasitic.

The compounds have been characterized via single crystal X-ray diffraction and temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements. All three compounds crystallize in monoclinic space groups (1, C2/c; 2 and 3, P21/c) and exhibit alternating layers of hexahalodicuprate ions and organic cations. The hexahalodicuprate ions exhibit short X⋯Cu and X⋯X contacts which link the dimers into a square array. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data reveal strong intradimer antiferromagnetic exchange (J = −153, −65, −122 K for 1–3, respectively), but negligible inter-dimer magnetic exchange.

description: We discuss the broadband X-ray spectrum of GRS 1734-292 obtained from non-simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations, performed in 2009 and 2014, respectively. GRS1734-292 is a Seyfert 1 galaxy, located near the Galactic plane at $z=0.0214$. The NuSTAR spectrum ($3-80$ keV) is dominated by a primary power-law continuum with $Γ=1.65 \pm 0.05$ and a high-energy cutoff $E_c=53^{+11}_{-8}$ keV, one of the lowest measured by NuSTAR in a Seyfert galaxy. Comptonization models show a temperature of the coronal plasma of $kT_e=11.9^{+1.2}_{-0.9}$ keV and an optical depth, assuming a slab geometry, $τ=2.98^{+0.16}_{-0.19}$ or a similar temperature and $τ=6.7^{+0.3}_{-0.4}$ assuming a spherical geometry. The 2009 XMM-Newton spectrum is well described by a flatter intrinsic continuum ($Γ=1.47^{+0.07}_{-0.03}$) and one absorption line due to Fe\textsc{XXV} K$α$ produced by a warm absorber. Both data sets show a modest iron K$α$ emission line at $6.4$ keV and the associated Compton reflection, due to reprocessing from neutral circumnuclear material.

description: Fundamental discoveries have shaped our molecular understanding of presynaptic processes, such as neurotransmitter release, active zone organization and mechanisms of synaptic vesicle (SV) recycling. However, certain regulatory steps still remain incompletely understood. Protein liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and its role in SV clustering and active zone regulation now introduce a new perception of how the presynapse and its different compartments are organized. This article highlights the newly emerging concept of LLPS at the synapse, providing a systematic overview on LLPS tendencies of over 500 presynaptic proteins, spotlighting individual proteins and discussing recent progress in the field. Newly discovered LLPS systems like ELKS/liprin-alpha and Eps15/FCho are put into context, and further LLPS candidate proteins, including epsin1, dynamin, synaptojanin, complexin and rabphilin-3A, are highlighted.

description: The way in which Cohesion Policy is perceived by citizens is a crucial issue for the process of European identity-building. Based on the idea that citizens’ perceptions depend on the local socioeconomic context in which Cohesion Policy is implemented, the paper seeks to define alternative combinations of the economic, social and institutional features of different local policy implementation settings, and to identify them empirically in European NUTS-2 regions. The results highlight a broad variety of policy settings, whose characteristics are relevant to the outcome of Cohesion Policy implementation. Read the transcript Watch the video on Vimeo

description: Since the first discovery of a broad-lined type Ic supernova (SN) with a long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) in 1998, fewer than fifty gamma-ray burst supernovae (GRB-SNe) have been discovered. The intermediate-luminosity Swift GRB 161219B and its associated supernova SN 2016jca, which occurred at a redshift of z=0.1475, represents only the seventh GRB-SN to have been discovered within 1 Gpc, and hence provides an excellent opportunity to investigate the observational and physical properties of these very elusive and rare type of SN. As such, we present optical to near-infrared photometry and optical spectroscopy of GRB 161219B and SN 2016jca, spanning the first three months since its discovery. GRB 161219B exploded in the disk of an edge-on spiral galaxy at a projected distance of 3.4 kpc from the galactic centre. GRB 161219B itself is an outlier of the Amati relation, while SN 2016jca had a rest-frame, peak absolute V-band magnitude of M_V = -19.0, which it reached after 12.5 rest-frame days. We find that the bolometric properties of SN 2016jca are inconsistent with being powered solely by a magnetar central engine, as proposed by other authors, and demonstrate that it was likely powered exclusively by energy deposited by the radioactive decay of nickel and cobalt into their daughter products, which were nucleosynthesized when its progenitor underwent core collapse. We find that 0.22 solar masses of nickel is required to reproduce the peak luminosity of SN 2016jca, and we constrain an ejecta mass of 5.8 solar masses and a kinetic energy of ~5 x 10^52 erg. Finally, we report on a chromatic, pre-maximum bump in the g-band light curve, and discuss its possible origin. [Abridged]

description: This paper seeks to provide novel insights into the effects of ethnic communities on immigrants’ entrepreneurial activities. We investigate to what extent the decision of an employed immigrant to become an entrepreneur is associated with his or her embeddedness in ethnic networks in the host region. We capture such embeddedness through various mechanisms. Using longitudinal-registered data from Sweden and employing a logit model, we find that merely being located in an ethnic community does not have an influence on immigrant entrepreneurship; rather, what matters is being located in ethnic communities that have a high share of entrepreneurs themselves.

Kinematic irreversibility in surfactant-laden interfaces

description: The surface shear viscosity of an insoluble surfactant monolayer often depends strongly on its surface pressure. Here, we show that a particle moving within a bounded monolayer breaks the kinematic reversibility of low-Reynolds-number flows. The Lorentz reciprocal theorem allows such irreversibilities to be computed without solving the full nonlinear equations, giving the leading-order contribution of surface-pressure-dependent surface viscosity. In particular, we show that a disk translating or rotating near an interfacial boundary experiences a force in the direction perpendicular to that boundary. In unbounded monolayers, coupled modes of motion can also lead to non-intuitive trajectories, which we illustrate using an interfacial analog of the Magnus effect. This perturbative approach can be extended to more complex geometries, and to 2D suspensions more generally.

description: Food access in remote rural places: consumer accounts of food shopping. Regional Studies. In remote rural and island communities access to food involves adaption of living style and travel outside the local area as a normal and integral part of food shopping. Despite the poor retail assortment, consumers have a strong allegiance to local food stores centred on a desire to maintain a local retail presence and to support the community. Deeper understanding of consumer access to food and adaptations to constrained access have implications for food policy for these remote areas and public policy on remote regions more generally. Results are reported for remote island communities in Scotland.

description: The flyby anomaly is the unexpected variation of the asymptotic post-encounter velocity of a spacecraft with respect to the pre-encounter velocity as it performs a slingshot manoeuvre. This effect has been detected in, at least, six flybys of the Earth but it has not appeared in other recent flybys. In order to find a pattern in these, apparently contradictory, data several phenomenological formulas have been proposed but all have failed to predict a new result in agreement with the observations. In this paper we use a multivariate dimensional analysis approach to propose a fitting of the data in terms of the local parameters at perigee, as it would occur if this anomaly comes from an unknown fifth force with latitude dependence. Under this assumption, we estimate the range of this force around 300 km.

description: Surface-phonon polaritons (SPhPs) are attractive alternatives to far-infrared plasmonics for sub-diffractional confinement of light. Localized SPhP resonances in semiconductor nanoresonators are very narrow, but that linewidth and the limited extent of the Reststrahlen band inherently limit spectral coverage. To address this limitation, we report active tuning of SPhP resonances in InP and 4H-SiC by photoinjecting free carriers into the nanoresonators, taking advantage of the coupling between the carrier plasma and optical phonons to blue-shift SPhP resonances. We demonstrate state-of-the-art tuning figures of merit upon continuous-wave (CW) excitation (in InP) or pulsed excitation (in 4H-SiC). Lifetime effects cause the tuning to saturate in InP, and carrier-redistribution leads to rapid (<50 ps) recovery of the tuning in 4H-SiC. This work opens the path toward actively tuned nanophotonic devices, such as modulators and beacons, in the infrared and identifies important implications of coupling between electronic and photonic excitations.

description: Extraction of phytochemicals from the leaves and stems of Indigofera longiracemosa, a previously underexplored dye-yielding plant, was done using four solvents of increasing polarity followed by in vitro assessment of their antioxidant potential. Of the four solvent extracts, methanol extract yielded the highest percentage of phytochemicals. Methanol extracts of leaves and stems also showed the best antioxidant potential in in vitro antioxidant assays. Further, comparison with known standard antioxidant molecules showed lower IC50 values for the extracts tested. Our study thereby validates for the first time the antioxidant potential of I. longiracemosa aerial parts, and identifies an extract enriched in phytochemicals capable of quenching free radicals in vitro at concentrations lower than or comparable to pure antioxidant molecules.

description: Nicotine decreases food intake, and smokers often report that they smoke to control their weight. To see whether similar phenomena could be observed in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, we challenged drug-naïve nematodes with a chronic low (0.01 mM) and high (1 mM) nicotine concentration for 55 h (from hatching to adulthood). After that, we recorded changes in their behavior in a nicotine gradient, where they could choose a desired nicotine concentration. By using a combination of behavioral and morphometric methods, we found that both nicotine and food modulate worm behavior. In the presence of food (E. coli OP50) the nematodes adapted to the low nicotine concentration, when placed in the gradient, chose a similar nicotine concentration like C. elegans adapted to the high nicotine concentration. However, in the absence of food, the nematodes adapted to the low nicotine concentration, when placed in the gradient of this alkaloid, chose a similar nicotine concentration like naïve worms. The nematodes growing up in the presence of high concentrations of nicotine had a statistically smaller body size, compared to the control condition, and the presence of food did not cause any enhanced slowing movement. These results provide a platform for more detailed molecular and cellular studies of nicotine addiction and food intake in this model organism.

description: As an intermediate state in the topological phase diagram, Dirac semimetals are of particular interest as a platform for studying topological phase transitions under external modulations. Despite a growing theoretical interest in this topic, it remains a substantial challenge to experimentally tune the system across topological phase transitions. Here, we investigate the Fermi surface evolution of Cd3As2 under high pressure through magnetotransport. A sudden change in Berry phase occurs at 1.3 GPa along with the unanticipated shrinkage of the Fermi surface, which occurs well below the structure transition point (~2.5 GPa). High pressure X-ray diffraction also reveals an anisotropic compression of the Cd3As2 lattice around a similar pressure. Corroborated by the first-principles calculations we show that an axial compression will shift the Dirac nodes towards the Brillouin zone center and eventually introduces a finite energy gap. The ability to tune the node position, a vital parameter of Dirac semimetals, can have dramatic impacts on the corresponding topological properties such as the Fermi arc surface states and the chiral anomaly. Our study demonstrates axial compression as an efficient approach for manipulating the band topology and exploring the critical phenomena near the topological phase transition in Cd3As2.

description: Air pollution is a critical public health concern. The present study assessed the risk to human health of airborne Potentially Toxic Elements (PTE) arsenic, nickel and lead exposure in particulate matter (PM10–2.5) in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Statistical analysis was performed using R Software and the risk assessment for human health was carried out according to the methods of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The results for mean annual concentration of PTE (ng m−3) were within the limits stipulated for air-quality by international agencies (arsenic <6, nickel <20 and lead <150). Airborne arsenic and lead showed higher mean concentrations during the winter than the other seasons (p < 0.05). However, the results showed a greater health risk for the adult population and during the winter season. These findings highlight the importance of air pollution as a risk factor for population health.

description: We present a summary of the splinter session "Sun-like stars unlike the Sun" that was held on 09 June 2016 as part of the Cool Stars 19 conference (Uppsala, Sweden). We discussed the main limitations (in the theory and observations) in the derivation of very precise stellar parameters and chemical abundances of Sun-like stars. We outlined and discussed the most important and most debated processes that can produce chemical peculiarities in solar-type stars. Finally, in an open discussion between all the participants we tried to identify new pathways and prospects towards future solutions of the currently open questions.

description: There is little research on the relationship between phthalates exposure and sleep problems in adult females, with existing studies only assessing the association between exposure to individual phthalates with sleep problems.     We aimed to analyse the relationship between phthalates and sleep problems in 1366 US females aged 20 years and older from the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) by age stratification. Multivariate logistic regression showed that the fourth quartile of MECPP increased the risk of sleep problems in females aged 20–39 compared with the reference quartile (OR: 1.87, 95% CI: 1.14, 3.08). The WQS index was significantly associated with the sleep problems in females aged 20–39. In the BKMR, a positive overall trend between the mixture and sleep problems in females aged 20–39. In this study, we concluded that phthalates might increase the risk of sleep problems in females aged 20–39.

description: Josephson junctions with graphene as the weak link between superconductors have been intensely studied in recent years, with respect to both fundamental physics and potential applications. However, most of the previous work was based on mechanically exfoliated graphene, which is not compatible with mass production. Here we present our research using graphene grown by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) as the weak link of Josephson junctions. We demonstrate that CVD-graphene-based Josephson junctions with Nb electrodes can work effectively without any thermal hysteresis from 1.5 K down to a base temperature of 320 mK, and they show an ideal Fraunhofer-like interference pattern in a perpendicular magnetic field. We also show that the critical current of the junction can be tuned by a gate voltage. Furthermore, for our shortest junctions (50 nm in length), we find that the normal state resistance oscillates with the gate voltage, indicating that the junctions are in the ballistic regime, a feature not previously observed in CVD-graphene-based Josephson junctions.

description: Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, degenerative and inflammatory disease. It is characterized by progressive deterioration of articular cartilage. It is the most common disabling rheumatic pathology in adults older than 45 years, and there is no specific treatment. Objectives: Based on the rationale that in vitro polymerized-type I collagen induces chondrocytes proliferation, up-regulates the cartilage extracellular matrix proteins and down-regulates proinflammatory cytokines, we decided to evaluate its effect on cartilage repair in a rat model of OA. Methods: Thirty Wistar male rats with partial meniscectomy were subjected to daily high impact exercise during 3 weeks. Rats were randomly allocated into 5 groups a) training control, b)sham/operated control, c) toxicity control, d) OA treated with 4 intraarticular (IA) injections of placebo, and e) OA treated with 4 IA injections of polymerized-type I collagen. Weight, temperature and thickness of the knee were measured. Histological and radiological analysis was also performed. Type I and II collagen as well as, MMP13 expression was determined by immunofluorescence. Results: Clinimorphometric analysis showed a higher temperature and thickness of the knee in OA/placebo vs. OA/polymerized-type I collagen treated rats. Radiological and histological analysis demonstrated that polymerized-type I collagen but not placebo preserved joint cavity structure and proteoglycans content and induced an increase of 2 to 4 fold type II collagenexpressing chondrocytes whereas it inhibited type I collagen and MMP13 producing chondrocytes. Conclusion: The results suggest that polymerized-type I collagen is safe and effective chondroprotective biodrug with disease modifying effects. It induces high quality cartilage repair.

description: This study investigated the association between area deprivation level and performance of handwashing behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic in Korean adults. This study used data from the 2015 Population and Housing Census data to measure area deprivation level. The 2020 Korea Community Health Survey was used for all other variables, including hand hygiene behavior (August through November 2020). The association between area deprivation level and practice of handwashing behavior was examined using multilevel logistic regression analysis. The study population comprised 215,676 adults aged 19 years or above. Compared to the least area deprived group, the most deprived group was more likely to not wash hands after using the restroom (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.13–1.82), after coming home (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.43–2.39), and using soap (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.29–1.84). The findings suggest the importance of considering area deprivation in implementing policies that promote handwashing, particularly during a pandemic.
