description: Polycrystalline Mn 5 Ge 3 thin films were produced on SiO 2 using magnetron sputtering and reactive diffusion (RD) or non-diffusive reaction (NDR). In situ X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy were used to determine the layer structures, and magnetic force microscopy, superconducting quantum interference device and ferromagnetic resonance were used to determine their magnetic properties. RD-mediated layers exhibit similar magnetic properties as MBE-grown monocrystalline Mn 5 Ge 3 thin films, while NDR-mediated layers show magnetic properties similar to monocrystalline C-doped Mn 5 Ge 3 C x thin films with $0.1 \leq x \leq 0.2.$ NDR appears as a CMOS-compatible efficient method to produce good magnetic quality high-curie temperature Mn 5 Ge 3 thin films.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.From 1993 to 2003 special surveys were conducted to analyse the spawning activities of cod in the Baltic Sea. Temporal and spatial aspects were observed in relation to the structure and size of spawning stocks and to the hydrographical conditions in the potential cod spawning areas. The ICES advice for cod in the Baltic Sea is based on yearly stock assessments of two separate stocks the western (SD 22 – 24) and the eastern stock (SD 25 – 32). Both the stocks are characterized by different spawning seasons. The general progression of the maturity development, based on the data of surveys and commercial landings, suggests that two types of development can be distinguished. In the western Baltic Sea (SD 22) the maturity development is temporal stable, with a relative short, main spawning period from March to April and a possible extension of the spawning activities to Mai/ beginning of June - spring spawner. In the Arkona Sea and the Bornholm Basin the main spawning season starts in June and finish probably in September in the Arkona Sea and in September/October in the Bornholm Basin - summer spawner. The proportion of spawning individuals is significantly higher in summer than in spring in the Arkona Sea and the Bornholm Basin. The results are evidence of the importance of the Arkona Sea for the reproduction success of the eastern Baltic cod stock. In some years very small spawning activities of large female cod were observed in BS in spring and in MB in June. The analysis show furthermore, that the proportion of male spawners was significantly higher than the proportion of female spawners in all areas and the investigated months. This observation suggests that the reproductive success is only limited by the number of female cod which participates at the spawning process. The results shows, a genetic exchange of both the cod stocks is possible due to the temporary spatial expansion of the eastern Baltic spawning stock and time expansion of the spawning seasons of the western Baltic cod stock.

description: We propose a model to explain tiny masses of neutrinos with the lepton number conservation, where neither too heavy particles beyond the TeV-scale nor tiny coupling constants are required. Assignments of conserving lepton numbers to new fields result in an unbroken $Z_2$ symmetry that stabilizes the dark matter candidate (the lightest $Z_2$-odd particle). In this model, $Z_2$-odd particles play an important role to generate the mass of neutrinos. The scalar dark matter in our model can satisfy constraints on the dark matter abundance and those from direct searches. It is also shown that the strong first-order phase transition, which is required for the electroweak baryogenesis, can be realized in our model. In addition, the scalar potential can in principle contain CP-violating phases, which can also be utilized for the baryogenesis. Therefore, three problems in the standard model, namely absence of neutrino masses, the dark matter candidate, and the mechanism to generate baryon asymmetry of the Universe, may be simultaneously resolved at the TeV-scale. Phenomenology of this model is also discussed briefly.

description: Three experiments evaluated cow and calf performance in alternative production systems; 1) early weaning on feed use; 2) a sensitivity analysis investigating profit potential of confinement cow management to changes in production prices and weaning rates, and; 3) investigate a winter management system incorporating winter cornstalk residue grazing on cow and calf performance in a summer-calving herd. In experiment 1, cows were limit fed and used two weaning time, early (EW; 91 days old) or conventionally-weaned (CW; 203 days old). Nursing pairs were fed an equivalent amount of DM that the early weaned calf plus the dams were fed. Cows limit-fed in confinement resulted in no negative impact on reproduction and early-weaning did not reduce feed energy requirements. In experiment 2, production parameters were obtained from the summer-calving cowherd in a dry lot year-round. Greater returns were projected as weaning percentage increased and a positive return for systems using distillers grains and crop residues. For experiment 3, two wintering systems on cow-calf performance in a summer-calving cowherd were evaluated. Grazing cow-calf pairs on cornstalks had lower ending weights of cows and gains of calves. Incorporating winter cornstalk grazing into the system were $137 more profitable compared to cows wintered in the drylot.

description: Unsupervised point cloud completion aims at estimating the corresponding complete point cloud of a partial point cloud in an unpaired manner. It is a crucial but challenging problem since there is no paired partial-complete supervision that can be exploited directly. In this work, we propose a novel framework, which learns a unified and structured latent space that encoding both partial and complete point clouds. Specifically, we map a series of related partial point clouds into multiple complete shape and occlusion code pairs and fuse the codes to obtain their representations in the unified latent space. To enforce the learning of such a structured latent space, the proposed method adopts a series of constraints including structured ranking regularization, latent code swapping constraint, and distribution supervision on the related partial point clouds. By establishing such a unified and structured latent space, better partial-complete geometry consistency and shape completion accuracy can be achieved. Extensive experiments show that our proposed method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art unsupervised methods on both synthetic ShapeNet and real-world KITTI, ScanNet, and Matterport3D datasets.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Baltic Sea is a dynamic environment with large spatial and temporal gradients in hydrographic variables (e.g., temperature, T, and salinity, S). In this laboratory study, we characterized the response of Baltic Acartia tonsa cohorts to potential changes in hydrographic conditions (e.g., T, S, and food concentration). Daily egg production was determined at ten different temperatures (5 to 23°C) for five days and the time course and success of hatching were evaluated at six different temperatures (12 to 23°C) over the course of 168 h. Highest rates of egg production were observed at 21°C, whereas hatching success was greatest at 23°C. The hatching success of eggs incubated at 15 different salinities (0 to 34 psu) was maximal between 17 and 25 psu. The effect of food concentration was evaluated in six A. tonsa cohorts (each starting with 30,000 copepodites) maintained at either low or high feeding levels (10,000 and 45,000 cells of Rhodomonas mL-1) at 18 °C. Prosome lengths, freeze-dried weights, and developmental stages were quantified each day for individuals in each cohort. Compared to low feeding cohorts, high feeding cohorts: 1) exhibited lower variability in daily stage distributions, 2) reached maturity 25% sooner, and 3) were ~1.7 times larger (mass) as adults. Our results provide estimates of the effects of wide ranges in environmental factors characterizing the Baltic Sea and should prove useful in models targeting the population dynamics of A. tonsa.

description: Outcomes such as health performance, growth performance, and feed efficiency - outcomes that are clinically relevant and economically important to beef cattle producers and veterinarians involved in production medicine are the most clinically relevant and economically important outcomes by which to evaluate immune function in beef cattle populations. Although substitution indicators like serum antibody titers, lymphocyte proliferation assays and other laboratory assays may be indirectly related to the health and performance of the populations of interest, they are not directly correlated with the economically important outcomes essential to the financial health of the beef cattle businesses for which food animal veterinarians provide service. A number of factors or events impact immune function of cattle that are received and fed in North American feedlots. These include, but are not limited to, weaning, commingling, transportation, arrival processing surgical procedures, nutritional status and environmental conditions. The expression of immune function in terms of health performance, growth performance, and feed efficiency, during the feeding phase is affected by not only arrival conditions and procedures conducted at feedlot arrival or management during the feeding phase, but the background and history of management prior to feedlot arrival. These are the most economically important measures of immune function.

description: We report a study of the magnetic field dependence of photoluminescence of NV$^-$ centers (negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy centers) in diamond single crystals. In such a magnetic field dependence characteristic sharp features are observed, which are coming from Level Anti-Crossings (LACs) in a coupled electron-nuclear spin system. For sensitive detection of such LAC-lines we use lock-in detection to measure the photoluminescence intensity. This experimental technique allows us to obtain new LAC lines. Additionally, a remarkably strong dependence of the LAC-lines on the modulation frequency is found. Specifically, upon decrease of the modulation frequency from 12 kHz to 17 Hz the amplitude of the LAC-lines increases by approximately two orders of magnitude. To take a quantitative account for such effects, we present a theoretical model, which describes the spin dynamics in a coupled electron-nuclear spin system under the action of an oscillating external magnetic field. Good agreement between experiments and theory allows us to conclude that the observed effects are originating from coherent spin polarization exchange in a coupled spin system comprising the spin-polarized NV$^-$ center. Our results are of great practical importance allowing one to optimize the experimental conditions for probing LAC-derived lines in diamond crystals comprising NV$^-$ centers and for indirect detection and identification of other paramagnetic defect centers.

description: Maternal exposure to antibiotics has been linked to the development of pediatric asthma. However, the impact of the timing of exposure is unclear. We aimed to explore if the risk of pediatric asthma varies with trimester-specific exposure to antibiotics through a systematic review and meta-analysis. PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, CENTRAL, and Google Scholar databases were searched for studies reporting an association between trimester-specific maternal exposure to antibiotics and risk of asthma in the offspring. Eleven studies were included. The total sample size of the included studies was 2,160,216. Meta-analysis revealed a statistically significant increased risk of asthma with first (RR: 1.13 95% CI: 1.10, 1.17 I2 = 59% p < 0.00001), second (RR: 1.14 95% CI: 1.07, 1.21 I2 = 92% p < 0.0001), and third (RR: 1.14 95% CI: 1.08, 1.20 I2=86% p < 0.00001) trimester exposure of antibiotics. The results were stable on sensitivity analysis. On subgroup analysis, we noted that the association for the first and second trimester was significant for studies on children >5 years but not for those on children <5 years of age. The certainty of evidence based on GRADE was low. Our results indicate that antibiotics administered during any trimester of pregnancy lead to an increased risk of childhood asthma. The overall risk is small and could be due to confounding. Further studies rigorously adjusting for important confounding variables are needed for stronger evidence.

description: Absorption lines from molecular hydrogen ($\rm H_2$) in the spectra of background sources are a powerful probe of the physical conditions in intervening cold neutral medium. At high redshift, $z>2$, $\rm H_2$ lines are conveniently shifted in the optical domain, allowing the use of ground-based telescopes to perform high-resolution spectroscopy, which is essential for a proper analysis of the cold gas. We describe recent observational progress, based on the development of efficient pre-selection techniques in low-resolution spectroscopic surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The next generation of spectrographs with high blue-throughput, such as CUBES, will certainly significantly boost the efficiency and outcome of follow-up observations. In this paper, we discuss high priority science cases for CUBES, building on recent $\rm H_2$ observations at high-z: probing the physical conditions in the cold phase of regular galaxies and outflowing gas from active galactic nucleus.

Mapping spatial memory in goldfish, Carassius auratus

description: The hippocampus is required in the mammalian brain for memory formation. The hippocampal homolog or analog of bony fish has not been definitively established and is the subject of this study. Neuroanatomical differences during development of the prosencephalon within the neural tube between bony fish and mammals make comparative anatomy difficult. Therefore, inferring homologous divisions of the neural tube between bony fish and mammals is an inference and an assumption. We know fish make memories. Spatial memories, memories of one’s environment in relation to spatial orientation, are vital for the survival of an individual and a species. Historic studies have suggested that the homologous region of the mammalian hippocampus is the dorsolateral pallium pars ventralis (Dlv) of the teleost’s prosencephalon. In this experimental study I found that dorsomedial pallium (Dm), not Dlv, may be more important in establishing spatial memory in fish. Previous studies suggest Dm to be the homolog of the amygdala. To investigate this theory, a spatially orientated task was designed to facilitate the formation of a spatial memory to induce changes in regional activity in the brains of trained fish. Regions analyzed were dorsomedial pallium (Dm), dorsolateral pallium pars dorsalis (Dld), dorsolateral ventral pallium pars dorsalis (Dlv-d) and dorsolateral ventral pallium pars ventralis (Dlv-v). Four conditions were constructed: naïve, control, experimental and recall. The brains of Individuals within these groups were stained for the activity of cytochrome c oxidase (CO) to visualize regional activity by comparison after the appropriate condition because CO activity is an indicator of neural activity. Six ratios were constructed using the data: Dm/Dld, Dm/Dlv-d, Dm/Dlv-v, Dld/Dlv-v, Dld, Dlv-d and Dlv-d/Dlv-v. Two of the ratios were found to be significant across conditions. These ratios were Dm/Dld and Dm/Dlv-d. In the experimental group, Dm was upregulated in the ratio Dm/Dlv-d nearly twice as the recall group. Inversely, the recall group was upregulated in Dm in the ratio Dm/Dld nearly twice as much as the experimental group. This suggests that spatial memory formation and recall in teleost is Dm dependent.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.On the basis of 7646 stomachs sampled during 1996-2002 surveys the analysis of the ratio of sizes of Baltic cod and its prey were performed. The mean length of the fish ingested by cod tends to increase with predator size increasing. The length ranges of the fish consumed are initially narrow but widen with predator sizes increasing because the maximum size of possible prey depends on predator size, but the minimum size appears to remain unchanged. However, when predators have attained a particular size, the length range of its prey narrows again due to elimination of smaller fish from the diet. Using the statistical analysis of variation of prey length the size of predator at which the shift in minimum prey size becomes evident can be determined. The comparison of the size-based interactions in the different ecosystems has been conducted on the basis of published data on North Sea cod feeding upon sprat. A similar pattern of size-related interaction is observed in different ecosystems. The results indicate that larger predators do not always consume prey of a wider size range than the smaller ones. The probable reason is that energetic expenses involved in detecting and capturing too small prey may not be compensated by the energy accumulated with ingesting this resource. Another possible explanation is that the probability of predator and prey habitats overlap reduces with the size ratio increase.
Prudent drug use for the dairy practitioner

Year: 2016

description: As consumers become more savvy about the food they eat, dairy farmers and their veterinarians must be progressively vigilant to make sure that public health is protected. These protections, come not only from residue prevention, but also in the implementation of prudent drug practices that minimize the risk of development of antimicrobial resistance, which may be passed on to humans who consume animal-based food products. Throughout the last decade, the FDA has issued several guidance policies and implemented prohibitions in drug use in attempts to reduce the risk of development of antimicrobial resistance in humans. As dairy farms become larger, veterinarians are spending less time doing individual animal treatments and more time directing those treatments on farms. Whether animals are treated on-farm by veterinarians or by farm personnel, there are specific expectations that must be in place in order to reduce the risk of antimicrobial resistance development and drug residues in meat or milk.

description: Studies were made of the 1-70 keV persistent spectra of fifteen magnetars as a complete sample observed with Suzaku from 2006 to 2013. Combined with early NuSTAR observations of four hard X-ray emitters, nine objects showed a hard power-law emission dominating at $\gtrsim$10 keV with the 15--60 keV flux of $\sim$1-$11\times 10^{-11}$ ergs s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$. The hard X-ray luminosity $L_{\rm h}$, relative to that of a soft-thermal surface radiation $L_{\rm s}$, tends to become higher toward younger and strongly magnetized objects. Updated from the previous study, their hardness ratio, defined as $ξ=L_{\rm h}/L_{\rm s}$, is correlated with the measured spin-down rate $\dot{P}$ as $ξ=0.62 \times (\dot{P}/10^{-11}\,{\rm s}\,{\rm s}^{-1})^{0.72}$, corresponding with positive and negative correlations of the dipole field strength $B_{\rm d}$ ($ξ\propto B_{\rm d}^{1.41}$) and the characteristic age $τ_{\rm c}$ ($ξ\propto τ_{\rm c}^{-0.68}$), respectively. Among our sample, five transients were observed during X-ray outbursts, and the results are compared with their long-term 1-10 keV flux decays monitored with Swift/XRT and RXTE/PCA. Fading curves of three bright outbursts are approximated by an empirical formula used in the seismology, showing a $\sim$10-40 d plateau phase. Transients show the maximum luminosities of $L_{\rm s}$$\sim$$10^{35}$ erg s$^{-1}$, which is comparable to those of the persistently bright ones, and fade back to $\lesssim$$10^{32}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Spectral properties are discussed in a framework of the magnetar hypothesis.

description: The equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) of the CMIP6 global circulation models (GCMs) varies from 1.83 °C to 5.67 °C. Herein, 38 GCMs are grouped into three ECS classes (low, 1.80-3.00 °C; medium, 3.01-4.50 °C; high, 4.51-6.00 °C) and compared against the ERA5-T2m records from 1980-1990 to 2011-2021. We found that all models with ECS > 3.0 °C overestimate the observed global surface warming and that spatial t-statistics rejects the data-model agreement over 60% (using low-ECS GCMs) to 81% (using high-ECS GCMs) of the Earth's surface. Thus, the high and medium-ECS GCMs are unfit for prediction purposes. The low-ECS GCMs are not fully satisfactory yet, but they are found unalarming because by 2050 they predict a moderate warming ($ΔT_{preindustrial\rightarrow2050}\lesssim2\:{^\circ}C$).

description: The supercomputing platforms available for high performance computing based research evolve at a great rate. However, this rapid development of novel technologies requires constant adaptations and optimizations of the existing codes for each new machine architecture. In such context, minimizing time of efficiently porting the code on a new platform is of crucial importance. A possible solution for this common challenge is to use simulations of the application that can assist in detecting performance bottlenecks. Due to prohibitive costs of classical cycle-accurate simulators, coarse-grain simulations are more suitable for large parallel and distributed systems. We present a procedure of implementing the profiling for openQCD code [1] through simulation, which will enable the global reduction of the cost of profiling and optimizing this code commonly used in the lattice QCD community. Our approach is based on well-known SimGrid simulator [2], which allows for fast and accurate performance predictions of HPC codes. Additionally, accurate estimations of the program behavior on some future machines, not yet accessible to us, are anticipated.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Previous long-term investigations in the Baltic Sea documented large inter-decadal fluctuations in the standing stock of dominant copepod species and a concomitant regime shift in the composition of the fish fauna. Against this background, the German GLOBEC Project aims to clarify trophodynamic interactions between key zooplankton species and planktivorous herring and sprat and their link to regime shifts under physical forcing. A major goal of the project is to identify critical life-stages and/or processes that determine the seasonal development of a copepod stock size and its vulnerability to changes in the physical environment. We have studied spatio-temporal distribution and stage composition of Baltic Acartia populations, seasonal variation of the reproductive success and hatching rates of resting eggs. Hatching of nauplii from the sediment is by far the most important source for Acartia recruitment in spring while in-situ egg production in the pelagic dominates recruitment during summer. Laboratory experiments revealed a strong temperature control of egg hatching from the sediment and suggest that the recruitment through hatching of resting eggs is a critical process in the population dynamics of Acartia spp. in the Baltic with regard to physical forcing. With the onset of the warm season, the temperature control is replaced by food availability as the controlling factor of recruitment. Potential linkages of biomass fluctuations of Acartia spp. to prevailing hydrographic conditions and climate variability will be discussed.

description: Summary of deliverable D2.1. The increase in air pollution and global temperatures demonstrates how essential it is to look for alternatives to fossil fuels. The efficient storage of renewable energy would enable the transition towards CO2-free energy. Hydrogen can be produced from renewable sources and, as an efficient energy carrier, it can be stored for a long period. Metal hydrides are safe materials for solid-state hydrogen storage under mild conditions. At CNRS, an investigation to define the optimal hydrogen carrier composition was performed at the lab-scale. Different experimental techniques were used for the synthesis and characterisation of different substituted FeTi-alloys. Considering the goals of the project, reversible capacity, PCI, activation and cycling properties have been determined.

description: Let $A$ and $B$ be two accretive operators. We first introduce the weighted geometric mean of $A$ and $B$ together with some related properties. Afterwards, we define the relative entropy as well as the Tsallis entropy of $A$ and $B$. The present definitions and their related results extend those already introduced in the literature for positive invertible operators.

Year: 2016

description: In most Federal Milk Market Orders milk fat and protein yield are the major contributors to the price that producers receive for milk. The addition of supplemental fatty acid (FA) sources to diets is a common practice in dairy nutrition to increase dietary energy density and to support milk production. The ability to understand and model FA, the effects of individual FA, and different FA supplements on production parameters has direct impact on dairy industry recommendations and the usefulness of FA supplementation strategies. The emphasis of the current paper is on biological processes and quantitative changes during the metabolism of FA in the rumen and the effect this has on FA availability to the dairy cow, the digestibility of these FA, and their overall impact on performance. We will focus on recent research supplementing palmitic acid (C16:0) and stearic acid (C18:0)-enriched supplements, on feed intake, digestibility, milk production, and milk composition, and energy partitioning.

description: We explore the effects of geometry on the thermal conductivity (kappa) of silicon and germanium nanowires, with lengths between 10-120 nm and diameters up to 5-6 nm. To this end we perform molecular dynamics simulations with the LAMMPS software, using Tersoff interatomic potentials. We consider nanowires with polygonal cross section and we discuss the effect of the transverse geometry on the thermal conductivity. We also consider tubular (hollow) nanowires and core/shell combinations of Si/Ge and Ge/Si, and we compare the heat transport of the core/shell structure with that of the separated core and shell components.

Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Zooplankton plays a key role in linking primary to fish production in marine pelagic ecosystems, demonstrated to be influenced by climate variability. Interannual developments in zooplankton biomass may, however, also be controlled from top-down, and the relative impact of resource vs. predation controls and their temporal variability is still largely unclear. We used seasonal long-term data (1963-2000) on abundance and biomass from the Gulf of Riga (Central Baltic Sea) in correlation and principal component analyses to investigate the influence of climate variability on the interannual dynamics of dominating mesozooplankton species. Further, we evaluated the possible effect of planktivory by herring in shaping the dynamics of the planktonic species. Our results show an increase in biomass of most mesozooplankton species during the 1990s in spring, especially of the dominant copepods Acartia spp. and Eurytemora affinis, in synchrony to a climate-induced increase in temperature. Later in the season an uncoupling of the climate and local water temperature was observed, and the dynamics of most of the zooplankton species was driven by a strong predation pressure by the herring (Clupea harengus) stock. Our study exemplifies how biological control is able to modify the climate-induced development of an aquatic ecosystem. Thus the mesozooplankton dynamics in the Gulf of Riga provide a good example of a temporal succession in the importance of bottom-up and top-down control.

description: Feeding systems need to be monitored and evaluated just like milking systems. A TMR Audit® is a systematic approach designed to evaluate the feeding program. The objectives are to look for ways to minimize variation between the formulated and consumed ration, minimize shrink, and to improve the efficiency of the feeding system. Areas evaluated include silage and feedstuff management, TMR load preparation, TMR consistency within and between loads, and feedbunk management. Management procedures should be in place to minimize top spoilage of silage stored in bunker silos and with other feedstuffs, and feeding personnel should be trained that spoiled feed needs to be discarded, not fed. Due to variation in DM and nutrient content across the face of the silo and across bales of hay or balage, it is best to premix an individual forage prior to using that forage in preparing a load of TMR. The Penn State Particle Separator can be used to evaluate TMR consistency. We have identified 10 primary factors that can lead to variation within and between loads of TMR. These factors include the following: worn equipment, mixing time, load size, levelness of mixer during mixing, loading position on the mixer box, hay or straw quality and processing, loading sequence, liquid distribution, vertical mixer auger speeds, and hay restrictor plate settings in vertical mixers. Feed efficiency can be improved by feeding multiple times per day as opposed to once daily. Feed push-ups need to be done frequently enough to ensure easy access to feed along the entire feed bunk. TMR Audits can help to improve performance and health on the dairy.

Sparse Pose Graph Optimization in Cycle Space

description: The state-of-the-art modern pose-graph optimization (PGO) systems are vertex based. In this context the number of variables might be high, albeit the number of cycles in the graph (loop closures) is relatively low. For sparse problems particularly, the cycle space has a significantly smaller dimension than the number of vertices. By exploiting this observation, in this paper we propose an alternative solution to PGO, that directly exploits the cycle space. We characterize the topology of the graph as a cycle matrix, and re-parameterize the problem using relative poses, which are further constrained by a cycle basis of the graph. We show that by using a minimum cycle basis, the cycle-based approach has superior convergence properties against its vertex-based counterpart, in terms of convergence speed and convergence to the global minimum. For sparse graphs, our cycle-based approach is also more time efficient than the vertex-based. As an additional contribution of this work we present an effective algorithm to compute the minimum cycle basis. Albeit known in computer science, we believe that this algorithm is not familiar to the robotics community. All the claims are validated by experiments on both standard benchmarks and simulated datasets. To foster the reproduction of the results, we provide a complete open-source C++ implementation (Code: \url{https://bitbucket.org/FangBai/cycleBasedPGO) of our approach.

Beryllium abundances in turn-off stars of globular clusters with the CUBES spectrograph

description: Globular clusters host multiple stellar populations that display star-to-star variation of light elements that are affected by hot hydrogen burning (e.g., He, C, N, O). Several scenarios have been suggested to explain these variations. Most involve multiple star formation episodes, where later generations are born from material contaminated by the nucleosynthetic products of the previous stellar generation(s). One difficulty in the modelling of such scenarios is knowing the extent to which processed and pristine material are mixed. In this context, beryllium abundances measured in turn-off stars of different generations can provide new information. Beryllium originates from cosmic-ray spallation and can only be destroyed inside stars. Beryllium abundances can thus directly measure the degree of pollution of the material that formed stars in globular clusters. Turn-off stars in globular clusters are however faint and such studies are beyond the capabilities of current instrumentation. In this work, we show the progress that the CUBES spectrograph will bring to this area. Our simulations indicate that CUBES will enable the detection of variations of about 0.6 dex in the Be abundances between stars from different generations, in several nearby globular clusters with turn-off magnitude down to $V$ = 18 mag.
