Understanding the physiological importance of amino acid transport processes in legumes

Subjects: Legumes -- Metabolism

description: Nitrogen is essential for plant growth and development, and amino acids represent the predominant N transport forms in most plants. Transporters are required to effectively move the organic N from cell to cell and over long distances. This research addresses the functions of amino acid transporters in legumes and their importance for whole-plant physiology and productivity. Novel amino acid transporters were identified in French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), PvAAP1, and pea (Pisum sativum) PsAAP3, PsAAP6, and PsCAT6. Functional complementation in yeast demonstrated that, with the exception of PsCAT6, they are functional transporters and mediate the growth of yeast cells on a broad spectrum of amino acids. Furthermore, expression analyses in nodules, phloem, and seeds, as well as transporter localization to the plasma membrane suggest that the transporters are involved in cellular import processes throughout the plant and that their function is highly cell-specific. The role of PsAAP6 in nodules was further analyzed by repressing PsAAP6 expression and it was found that nodule amino acid levels and development are affected in the transgenic roots. Together, our analyses of transporter function in legumes demonstrate the importance of membrane proteins in movement of amino acids in nodules, over long distances, and in import into seeds. We further examined the role of amino acid transport in plant metabolism and productivity. Transgenic pea plants expressing a yeast transporter for Smethylmethionine, a nitrogen and sulfur containing amino acid, in the phloem were produced and analyzed. Results showed that nitrogen and sulfur phloem transport as well as metabolism were affected in the transgenic plants. In addition, changes in long distance transport of nitrogen and sulfur led to an increase in total seed production and in total seed S, N and protein yields. Overall, our results demonstrate that phloem transport of S-methylmethionine is important to seed quality and quantity.

description: The mass function of galaxy clusters is a sensitive tracer of the gravitational evolution of the cosmic large-scale structure and serves as an important census of the fraction of matter bound in large structures. We obtain the mass function by fitting the observed cluster X-ray luminosity distribution from the REFLEX galaxy cluster survey to models of cosmological structure formation. We marginalise over uncertainties in the cosmological parameters as well as those of the relevant galaxy cluster scaling relations. The mass function is determined with an uncertainty less than 10% in the mass range 3 x 10^12 to 5 x 10^14 M$_\odot$. For the cumulative mass function we find a slope at the low mass end consistent with a value of -1, while the mass rich end cut-off is milder than a Schechter function with an exponential term exp($- M^δ$) with $δ$ smaller than 1. Changing the Hubble parameter in the range $H_0 = 67 - 73 km s^-1 Mpc^{-1}$ or allowing the total neutrino mass to have a value between 0 - 0.4 eV causes variations less than the uncertainties. We estimate the fraction of mass locked up in galaxy clusters: about 4.4% of the matter in the Universe is bound in clusters (inside $r_200$) with a mass larger than 10^14 M$_\odot$ and 14% to clusters and groups with a mass larger than 10^13 M$_\odot$ at the present Universe. We also discuss the evolution of the galaxy cluster population with redshift. Our results imply that there is hardly any clusters with a mass > 10^15 M$_\odot$ above a redshift of z = 1.

description: Using a potential field source surface (PFSS) model, we recently analyzed the global topology of the background coronal magnetic field for a sequence of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that occurred on 2010 August 1-2. Here we repeat this analysis for the background field reproduced by a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model that incorporates plasma thermodynamics. As for the PFSS model, we find that all three CME source regions contain a coronal hole that is separated from neighboring coronal holes by topologically very similar pseudo-streamer structures. However, the two models yield very different results for the size, shape, and flux of the coronal holes. We find that the helmet-streamer cusp line, which corresponds to a source-surface null line in the PFSS model, is structurally unstable and does not form in the MHD model. Our analysis indicates that generally, in MHD configurations, this line rather consists of a multiple-null separator passing along the edge of disconnected flux regions. Some of these regions are transient and may be the origin of so-called streamer blobs. We show that the core topological structure of such blobs is a three-dimensional "plasmoid", consisting of two conjoined flux ropes of opposite handedness, which connect at a spiral null point of the magnetic field. Our analysis reveals that such plasmoids appear also in pseudo-streamers on much smaller scales. These new insights into the coronal magnetic topology provide some intriguing implications for solar energetic particle events and for the properties of the slow solar wind.

description: Warm dark matter (WDM) might more easily account for small scale clustering measurements than the heavier particles typically invoked in Lambda cold dark matter (LCDM) cosmologies. In this paper, we consider a Lambda WDM cosmology in which sterile neutrinos nu_s, with a mass m_s of roughly 1-100 keV, are the dark matter. We use the diffuse X-ray spectrum (total minus resolved point source emission) of the Andromeda galaxy to constrain the rate of sterile neutrino radiative decay: nu_s -> nu_{e,mu,tau} + gamma. Our findings demand that m_s < 3.5 keV (95% C.L.) which is a significant improvement over the previous (95% C.L.) limits inferred from the X-ray emission of nearby clusters, m_s < 8.2 keV (Virgo A) and m_s < 6.3 keV (Virgo A + Coma).

Abstract
The oral proteasome inhibitor ixazomib (Ninlaro®) is approved in the USA, EU and Japan in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who have received at least one prior therapy. In adults with relapsed and/or refractory MM who had received one to three prior therapies, progression-free survival (PFS) was significantly prolonged in patients who received the ixazomib- versus placebo-based triple therapy in the pivotal, global TOURMALINE-MM1 trial and its regional expansion (China continuation study). A significantly longer time to progression and favourable hazard ratios for PFS were observed across all prespecified subgroups, including patients with high cytogenetic risk. Overall response was achieved in a significantly higher proportion of patients receiving ixazomib- than placebo-based treatment. Ixazomib had a manageable tolerability profile in patients with MM. Ixazomib is the first orally-administered proteasome inhibitor approved for patients with MM, and in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone represents an important new option for use in patients with relapsed and/or refractory MM who have previously received at least one prior therapy.

description: Whether in social or businesses interactions in virtual worlds, attributions play a key role in shaping user behaviors. This research draws on Social Judgment Theory, and specifically Brunswik's Lens Model, to explain how attributions can be formed in these environments. Essay 1 introduces the Brunswik Lens Model as well as providing a theoretical grounding for the communication mindfulness construct and the cue categories that are investigated in the remaining portions of the dissertation. We posit that criterion reality (the objective reality associated with an individual or business) is represented through four broad virtual world cue categories: avatar appearance, avatar behavior, avatar surroundings, and general interface characteristics. We then discuss how these four cue categories are used to influence the formation of attributions. In addition, we discuss the moderating influence that media effects have on criterion ecological validity (the ability of the cues to accurately represent reality) as well as the moderating effect that communication mindfulness has on cue utilization validity (the ability of an individual to interpret cues). In essay 2 we conduct a psychometric evaluation of mindfulness and develop and test the communication mindfulness construct. Compelling support was found for a three-factor construct based on mindfulness while sending information, receiving information, and a sensitivity to the media in use. Finally, in essay 3 we conduct a study within a virtual world environment where we manipulate avatar appearance and behavior and the storefront characteristics to explore the effect of three of the four virtual world characteristics on trustworthiness perceptions. We found support for cues in these categories influencing trustworthiness though we failed to find empirical support for the effect of communication mindfulness on trustworthiness development.
Individual investing in the familiar and the unfamiliar

description: Using a discount brokerage house data for the period January 1991 November 1996, my thesis explores aspects of individual investing behavior in familiar and unfamiliar assets. Behavioral portfolio theory postulates that individuals divide their portfolio into layers of assets with different levels of risk and each of these layers are associated with different aspirations. Individuals are likely to perceive familiar assets to be less risky. I explore familiarity in the following contexts: (1) Individuals frequently repurchasing (purchasing stocks that were previously sold) stocks, and (2) Individuals purchasing their local utility stocks. In the riskier layer of an individual aimed at a shot for the riches, I explore investments in Over-the-counter (OTC) stocks, unfamiliar to most individuals. Similar to findings in retirement studies focused on employee allocations of their 401(k) plans to their company s stock, I find that repurchases are driven by the interaction of investor preference for familiar stocks and extrapolation of prior roundtrip trade returns. There is no evidence that the repurchasing strategy outperforms a buy and hold strategy. I attribute the sub-optimality of repurchases to commission costs and under-diversification of portfolios, which are magnified for households repurchasing at higher frequencies. Individuals in my dataset are nearly four to five times more likely to purchase stocks of their local direct utility as opposed to utility companies operating outside their state of residence. My tests reveal that individuals do not possess superior or private information about their local utilities, nor are they using their local utility stocks as a hedge for possible increase in their utility expenditure. Indeed, individual preference for their local utility stocks seems to be driven by preference for familiar assets, referred to as familiarity bias. Lastly, I explore commonly held beliefs about individuals investing in OTC stocks, presumably unfamiliar assets. Contrary to popular perceptions associated with gambler or lottery buyers, I find that investors are older, wealthier and more experienced at investing than their counterparts. Individuals investing in OTC stocks display a greater degree of diversification and have large portfolio turnovers.

Investigation into the functions of the pollen specific genes PiVAMP721 and PiSCP1 in pollen tube growth
Creators: name: Guo, Feng
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Pollen tube -- Growth

description: PiVAMP721 is a member of the plant unique VAMP7 proteins, which is expressed specifically in pollen. The VAMP7 (longin) proteins are involved in endosomal trafficking across species. PiVAMP721 was colocalized with an endocytic marker, FM4-64 and it's over-expression was found to be inhibitory to pollen tube growth. PiVAMP721/C, a truncated constitutively active form of this protein, generated bulging pollen tube tips at a frequency 3 fold higher than the than wild type protein, and lead to increased growth inhibition (mean pollen tube length 26% shorter than tubes expressing the wild type protein). In contrast expression of the truncated N-terminal "longin" domain, PiVAMP721/N, in pollen tubes did not generate a discernable phenotype. Interestingly
description: PiVAMP721/N was found to be able to partially rescue inhibition caused by expressing PiVAMP721/C, suggesting that PiVAMP721/N has a negative regulatory function and that the two regions of this protein are able to interact and function "normal" even when not translationally fused. Although the small novel protein, PiSCP1, has two homologs in Arabidopsis, neither has a known function. We showed that PiSCP1 is a peroxisomal protein by colocalization with a peroxisome marker. Overexpression of PiSCP1 did not generate a significant phenotype. However, the protein encoded by this gene interacted with CDPKs in yeast two hybrid assays and mutations of two potential sites of serine phosphorylation lead to proteins that inhibited pollen tube growth. These results suggest that phosphorylation of either of these two residues is important to the overall function of PiSCP1. The conserved N-terminal "A" and C-terminal "C" domains both retained the ability to localizes to peroxisomes and may still retain the ability to interact with CDPK(s). The divergent central B domain was found to be largely cytosolic and not to interact with CDPK(s). Here, we further showed that PiCDPK2 is also a peroxisomal protein. PiCDPK2 was shown to colocalize with PiSCP1 and interact with this protein in a yeast two hybrid assay, suggesting that PiCDPK2 is likely the CDPK isoform that interacts with PiSCP1 in vivo. Neither PiSCP1 nor PiCDPK2 have classic peroxisome targeting signals, and the potential targeting/sorting signals of these two proteins are discussed.
Nonlinear electric and thermoelectric Andreev transport through a hybrid quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetic and superconducting leads

description: We discuss the nonlinear Andreev current of an interacting quantum dot coupled to spin-polarized and superconducting reservoirs when voltage and temperature biases are applied across the nanostructure. Due to the particle-hole symmetry introduced by the superconducting (S) lead, the subgap spin current vanishes identically. Nevertheless, the Andreev charge current depends on the degree of polarization in the ferromagnetic (F) contact since the shift of electrostatic internal potential of the conductor depends on spin orientation of the charge carrier. This spin-dependent potential shift characterizes nonlinear responses in our device. We show how the subgap current versus the bias voltage or temperature difference depends on the lead polarization in two cases, namely (i) S-dominant case, when the dot-superconductor tunneling rate ($Γ_R$) is much higher than the ferromagnet-dot tunnel coupling ($Γ_L$), and (ii) F-dominant case, when $Γ_L\gg Γ_R$. For the ferromagnetic dominant case the spin-dependent potential shows a nonmonotonic behavior as the dot level is detuned. Thus the subgap current can also exhibit interesting behaviors such as current rectification and the maximization of thermocurrents with smaller thermal biases when the lead polarization and the quantum dot level are adjusted.

Ovine hepresvirus 2 infection and the immune resonse in American bison

Subjects: American bison -- Diseases

description: Ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) infects sheep subclinically and causes malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) in poorly adapted species such as bison and cattle. Although MCF is generally fatal once clinical signs develop, subclinical infection can occur in poorly adapted species. This project was initially aimed at developing an experimental, subclinical OvHV-2 infection model in bison for studying adaptive immunity. OvHV-2 has never been propagated in vitro which limited experimental studies until a method of intranasal nebulization with virus from sheep nasal secretions was developed. A dose response study in bison using this method was designed to induce subclinical OvHV-2 infection and determine if this conferred resistance to lethal dose challenge. Results indicated that minimal infectious and minimal lethal doses overlapped. Therefore, experimental production of subclinically infected bison is unlikely to be practical. However, five bison seropositive for antibody against the MCF virus group before inoculation died of MCF after low dose nebulization, indicating that previous exposure to an MCF group virus did not provide resistance to OvHV-2-induced MCF. Lacking a subclinical challenge model, we next compared OvHV-2 infection and immunity in bison to that reported in sheep in order to identify differences applicable to vaccine development. A previous study demonstrated transient OvHV-2 replication in sheep lung after nebulization concurrent with an increase in local transcription of immune response genes. Subsequent dissemination was followed by maintenance of latent virus. For comparison, 40 bison nebulized with OvHV-2 were euthanized between 1 and 35 days post-inoculation. Transient viral replication, indicated by increased OvHV-2 DNA level and transcription of two lytic cycle genes, occurred in bison lung 7 to 12 days post-inoculation but was not associated with increased immune response gene transcription. Subsequent systemic dissemination was followed by lytic replication in tissues concurrent with lesion development. Based on these results, we propose that OvHV-2 replication in bison lung is self-limiting rather than controlled by the host immune response. We also propose that differential immunomodulation by the virus may be the reason for differences in the pulmonary immune response and could explain why widespread lytic replication and lesion development occurs in bison but not in sheep.

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

description: This study examined the process of superintendent evaluation in six small public-school districts in Washington State. The researcher interviewed one superintendent and one board member in each district with regard to this process. He also reviewed the districts' current superintendent-evaluation forms as well as their job announcements and job descriptions for the position of superintendent when these documents were available. The researcher compared these documents to educational-leadership standards provided by the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2008a), Waters and Marzaro's (2009) work on district leadership, various state standards, and Washington State School Directors Association recommendations standards for superintendent evaluations. Interview responses and source documents indicated that four of the six school districts studied used superintendent- evaluation forms consisting of a Likert rating scale (usually from 1 to 5) and a section for comments. The fifth district in this study meet formally with the superintendent to verbally review goals and set expectations for the coming year. The sixth district used a continuous process of monitoring that culminated in an end of the year review based on the monthly monitoring reports. Interviewees using the numeric rating form as the primary evaluation tool in their district felt is was insufficiently clear, subjective, lacked clear performance goals and therefore provided superintendents with inadequate guidance. Most also thought that the evaluation process needed to include more-frequent monitoring and ongoing evaluation of the superintendent's progress with regular updates for the board and community. This study offers recommendations as to how school superintendents and board members can work together to devise a more effective and relevant evaluation processes. In particular, it suggests that school districts use research-based, national evaluation standards modified to suit their district's unique needs and goals.
Feedback effects in ingredient branded offerings

Subjects: Brand name products

description: Ingredient branding is a marketing strategy that is on the rise in the marketplace. This strategy, a special case of a brand alliance, is used to help firms gain a foothold in a new market or strengthen their position in current markets through the development of ingredient branded offerings (henceforth called IBOs). An IBO involves a branded ingredient residing within another branded product (e.g. Betty Crocker cake mix with Hershey s chocolate). Through the use of a brand partner, brands are able to increase their visibility and credibility in markets. However, in spite of the benefits provided by ingredient branding, there are many unanswered questions regarding the use of this strategy. Of utmost importance is the impact of this strategy on the involved brands. The impact of an IBO on the parent brands occurs through a mechanism called feedback effects, which involves information about the IBO impacting the individual brands. Ingredient branding is touted as a strategy to help firms build their brands, yet this advantage has not been clearly documented. Because of this key gap in the literature, in this dissertation I investigate factors related to this strategy that can impact a firm s ability to engage in brand building. Specifically, I focus on three major issues that can impact the involved brands. The first is parent brand equity asymmetry, which is the gap in equity levels between the two brands involved in the IBO. The second issue, product outcome, involves the performance of IBO in the marketplace. The third issue, partnership initiation, is concerned with who created the alliance. The results of this dissertation indicate that each of these unique issues have differing effects on the brands involved in the IBO. To further examine feedback effects, I also empirically show that an IBO is a superior strategy to a brand extension under certain conditions.

description: Thermal noise is expected to be one of the noise sources limiting the astrophysical reach of Advanced LIGO (once commissioning is complete) and third-generation detectors. Adopting crystalline materials for thin, reflecting mirror coatings, rather than the amorphous coatings used in current-generation detectors, could potentially reduce thermal noise. Understanding and reducing thermal noise requires accurate theoretical models, but modeling thermal noise analytically is especially challenging with crystalline materials. Thermal noise models typically rely on the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, which relates the power spectral density of the thermal noise to an auxiliary elastic problem. In this paper, we present results from a new, open-source tool that numerically solves the auxiliary elastic problem to compute the Brownian thermal noise for both amorphous and crystalline coatings. We employ open-source frameworks to solve the auxiliary elastic problem using a finite-element method, adaptive mesh refinement, and parallel processing that enables us to use high resolutions capable of resolving the thin reflective coating. We compare with approximate analytic solutions for amorphous materials, and we verify that our solutions scale as expected. Finally, we model the crystalline coating thermal noise in an experiment reported by Cole and collaborators (2013), comparing our results to a simpler numerical calculation that treats the coating as an "effectively amorphous" material. We find that treating the coating as a cubic crystal instead of as an effectively amorphous material increases the thermal noise by about 3%. Our results are a step toward better understanding and reducing thermal noise to increase the reach of future gravitational-wave detectors. (Abstract abbreviated.)

description: In integrated-light, some color-color diagrams that use optical and near-infrared photometry show surprisingly orthogonal grids as age and metallicity are varied, and they are coming into common usage for estimating the average age and metallicity of spiral galaxies. In this paper we reconstruct these composite grids using simple stellar population models from several different groups convolved with some plausible functional forms of star formation histories at fixed metallicity. We find that the youngest populations present (t<2 Gyr) dominate the light, and because of their presence the age-metallicity degeneracy can be partially broken with broad-band colors, unlike older populations. The scatter among simple stellar population models by different authors is, however, large at ages t<2 Gyr. The dominant uncertainties in stellar population models arise from convective core overshoot assumptions and the treatment of the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch phase and helium abundance may play a significant role at higher metallicities. Real spiral galaxies are unlikely to have smooth, exponential star formation histories, and burstiness will cause a partial reversion to the single-burst case, which has even larger model-to-model scatter. Finally, it is emphasized that the current composite stellar population models need some implementation of chemical enrichment histories for the proper analysis of the observational data.

framework of Tanzanian taxation. It places a specific focus on the intricate Two-Pillar Solution proposed by the OECD to tackle BEPS-related challenges. The analysis encompasses an in-depth investigation of BEPS itself and a thorough examination of the OECD's Two-Pillar Solution, which encompasses the novel nexus and profit allocation rules under Pillar One and the proposition of a minimum global tax under Pillar Two. Furthermore, the study delves into the evolving global trend toward multilateralism in the realm of international taxation. The research concludes by presenting recommended solutions and offering insights into the future landscape of BEPS-related issues, while also providing valuable observations on the subject matter. This paper adopts a doctrinal
approach and draws upon primary and secondary sources of literature, including Tanzanian tax laws, OECD guidelines, and other international principles. It is expected to be a valuable resource for policymakers, academics, think tanks, the academic community, tax departments, international trade entities, digital taxation stakeholders, online businesses, and the judiciary, facilitating a deeper understanding of BEPS and its implications.

Subjects: Arabs -- Public opinion

description: In this study, I attempt to explore the aesthetic frameworks through which Arabs and Muslims are mainly being culturally and politically promoted today. Through analyzing various artistic and visual works, I underline the political process of Other's identity constructions, which are generally underestimated due to the artistic nature of most of media's negative productions. A shrewd understanding of the cultural and political manipulations of our realities, facilitated by the aesthetic politics, would help in the comprehension of the current, and almost universal, "Other" position of Arabic and Islamic cultures. Historically, the deformations of these nations have been utilized to justify colonialism and political exploitation of the masses. It often served to distinguish the good western Self from the ugly eastern Other and further legitimize racial superiority and political authority. The involvement of the image within such discourses maintains the cultural estrangements within the consciousness of both eastern and western masses. The aesthetic creations of some of these visuals seem to work hand in hand with various power games and political calculations that till now continue to maneuver what we know as truth. As I conclude this project, I emphasize my argument for broadly politicizing the aesthetic as a key player in the political calculations of diminishing many Others as ideologically and culturally different. By emphasizing the crucial role of media, images, and other artistic domains, Arab and Muslim artists are shifting their resistance efforts towards the aesthetic. Exposing the political twists hidden within artistic works seems an urgent patriotic re-action. More and more, challenging the national and international image formulations and eventually the political fixations seems a more appealing resistance methods for many of them today. War of arts promotes alleviated beauty as an alternative to the bloody resistance evoked by the arts of war

description: The finite temperature phase transition in the SU(2)-Higgs model at a Higgs boson mass $M_H \simeq 35$ GeV is studied in numerical simulations on four dimensional lattices with time-like extensions up to $L_t=5$. $T_c/M_H$ is extrapolated to the continuum limit and a comparison with the perturbative prediction is made. A one-loop calculation to the coupling anisotropies of the SU(2)-Higgs model on lattices with asymmetric lattice spacings is presented. Our numerical simulations show that the above perturbative result is applicable in the phenomenologically interesting parameter region.

description: High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are a new class of materials constructed from multiple principal elements statistically arranged on simple crystallographic lattices. Due to the large amount of disorder present, they are excellent model systems for investigating the properties of materials intermediate between crystalline and amorphous states. Here we report the effects of systematic isoelectronic replacements, using Mo-Y, Mo-Sc, and Cr-Sc mixtures, for the valence electron count 4 and 5 elements in the BCC Ta-Nb-Zr-Hf-Ti high entropy alloy (HEA) superconductor. We find that the superconducting transition temperature Tc strongly depends on the elemental make-up of the alloy, and not exclusively its electron count. The replacement of niobium or tantalum by an isoelectronic mixture lowers the transition temperature by more than 60 %, while the isoelectronic replacement of hafnium, zirconium, or titanium has a limited impact on Tc. We further explore the alloying of aluminium into the nearly optimal electron count [TaNb]0.67(ZrHfTi)0.33 HEA superconductor. The electron count dependence of the superconducting Tc for (HEA)Alx is found to be more crystalline-like than for the [TaNb]1-x(ZrHfTi)x HEA solid solution. For an aluminum content of x = 0.4 the high-entropy stabilization of the simple BCC lattice breaks down. This material crystallizes in the tetragonal beta-uranium structure type and superconductivity is not observed above 1.8 K.
Patterns of evolutionary diversification through lineages, morphology, and mechanics

description: A fundamental challenge in evolutionary biology lies in explaining why some groups are more diverse than others. This dissertation focuses on three components of diversity: lineages, morphology, and mechanical property. The first chapter examines the relationship between morphology and mechanical property. Although morphological change is frequently interpreted as an indication of mechanical diversification it is not known whether the evolution of mechanical properties in complex traits corresponds with similar diversification patterns in underlying morphology. I focus on the feeding system of fishes that display many-to-one mapping (or functional convergence) and test whether historical patterns of mechanical and morphological evolution fit concordant models of diversification. I find that despite a tight link between the morphology and emergent mechanical properties of a trait, the diversification pattern between them can be significantly different. The second chapter focuses on ancestral state reconstruction. Many times the feature being reconstructed is not itself of interest, but rather serves as a proxy for other important (but unmeasured) characters. In this chapter, I explored the accuracy of inferring ancestral mechanical properties using simulation models and ivtwo empirical traits. I found that precision is linked to the complexity of the mathematical model and accuracy was affected by both mathematical complexity and the number of interacting parts in the system. My results suggest caution when extrapolating mechanical property from ancestral morphology, and I argue that the same principle should be applied to many differing levels of design with hierarchical traits. Chapter three focuses on the relationship between lineage accumulation and morphological diversification in a group of "primitive" frogs (superfamily Pelobatoidea) and their most species-rich family (Megphryidae). Here, I present the first time-calibrated phylogenetic analysis of Pelobatoidea, including 52 megophryid species, using molecular data combined with fossil constraints. I also test the hypothesis that megophryids underwent an adaptive radiation using several comparative methods, including lineage-through-time plots, Monte Carlo constant rates test, disparity-through-time plots, and evolutionary likelihood model fitting. Despite their large clade size and high degree of morphological variation, we do not find the classic signature of adaptive radiation in the family Megophryidae.

description: We analyse the lower non trivial part of the spectrum of the generator of the Glauber dynamics, which we consider a positive operator, for a d-dimensional nearest neighbour Ising model with a bounded random potential. We prove conjecture 1 in a paper by Albeverio et al.(referred as [AMSZ]) that is, for sufficently large values of the temperature, the first band of the spectrum of the generator of the process coincides with a closed non random segment of the real line.
