THE EFFECT OF DIETARY CARBOHYDRATE SOURCES AND LEVELS ON GROWTH IN JUVENILE BLUEGILL (Lepomis macrochirus)
Creators: name: Giri, Namrata
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: Aquaculture

description: Carbohydrates are relatively cheaper energy sources for fish than proteins and lipids. Fish do not have specific requirements for dietary carbohydrates. Utilization of dietary carbohydrates varies among fish species. It may be related to the relative amount of α- amylase, the key enzyme for the digestion of carbohydrates. Warmwater fish tends to digest carbohydrates more efficiently and utilize relatively higher levels of carbohydrates than cold water and marine fish. Recommended dietary digestible carbohydrates vary between 15-25% in such carnivorous species as salmonids and marine fish, and up to 40% in warmwater omnivorous species. Appropriate levels of carbohydrate could support fish better growth performance and decrease the use of the more expensive protein and lipids for diet. However, information on carbohydrate utilization and α-amylase activity in bluegill is scarce. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of carbohydrates on growth and the activity of digestive α-amylase on bluegill fed different levels of dextrin or corn starch. Twelve diets contained 5% to 25% levels of dextrin or corn starch at 5% interval; one negative control diet lacking any digestible carbohydrate; and one commercial diet with four replications of each treatment for juvenile bluegill. After twelve weeks of feeding, fish fed 25% dextrin diet showed the lowest final body weight among all the dietary treatments and fish fed 25% corn starch showed higher final body weight than other dietary treatments, except commercial diet, numerically. Hepatosomatic index (HSI) was numerically higher in 25% dextrin and lower in 5% dextrin and control. No differences in α-amylase activity were detected among the dietary treatments. The results suggested that corn starch at 25% could support juvenile bluegill optimal growth. This study provided very useful information for the formulation of nutritionally balanced and cost-effective diets for culturing bluegills.

description: We use the EAGLE galaxy formation simulation to study the effects of baryons on the power spectrum of the total matter and dark matter distributions and on the velocity fields of dark matter and galaxies. On scales $k{\stackrel{>}{{}_\sim}} 4{h\,{\rm Mpc}^{-1}}$ the effect of baryons on the amplitude of the total matter power spectrum is greater than $1\%$. The back-reaction of baryons affects the density field of the dark matter at the level of $\sim3\%$ on scales of $1\leq k/({h\,{\rm Mpc}^{-1}})\leq 5$. The dark matter velocity divergence power spectrum at $k{\stackrel{}{{}_\sim}} 1{h\,{\rm Mpc}^{-1}}$ (for $μ>0.5$), but for $|\vec{k}|\leq 0.4{h\,{\rm Mpc}^{-1}}$ it differs by less than $1\%$. We report vanishingly small baryonic velocity bias for haloes: the peculiar velocities of haloes with $M_{200}>3\times10^{11}{{\rm M}_{\odot}}$ (hosting galaxies with $M_{*}>10^9{{\rm M}_{\odot}}$) are affected at the level of at most $1~$km/s, which is negligible for $1\%$-precision cosmology. We caution that since EAGLE overestimates cluster gas fractions it may also underestimate the impact of baryons, particularly for the total matter power spectrum. Nevertheless, our findings suggest that for theoretical modelling of redshift space distortions and galaxy velocity-based statistics, baryons and their back-reaction can be safely ignored at the current level of observational accuracy. However, we confirm that the modelling of the total matter power spectrum in weak lensing studies needs to include realistic galaxy formation physics in order to achieve the accuracy required in the precision cosmology era.

description: Mrk 231 is a nearby quasar with an unusually red near-UV-to-optical continuum, generally explained as heavy reddening by dust (e.g., Leighly et al. 2014). Yan et al. 2015 proposed that Mrk~231 is a milli-parsec black-hole binary with little intrinsic reddening. We show that if the observed FUV continuum is intrinsic, as assumed by Yan et al. 2015, it fails by a factor of about 100 in powering the observed strength of the near-infrared emission lines, and the thermal near and mid-infrared continuum. In contrast, the line and continuum strengths are typical for a reddened AGN spectral energy distribution. We find that the HeI*/Pbeta ratio is sensitive to the spectral energy distribution for a one-zone model. If this sensitivity is maintained in general broad-line region models, then this ratio may prove a useful diagnostic for heavily reddened quasars. Analysis of archival HST STIS and FOC data revealed evidence that the far-UV continuum emission is resolved on size scales of ~40 parsecs. The lack of broad absorption lines in the far-UV continuum might be explained if it were not coincident with the central engine. One possibility is that it is the central engine continuum reflected from the receding wind on the far side of the quasar.

description: Cheese has a long history in the human diet. In ancient times, cheese was primarily a concentrated form of milk with the benefit of a prolonged shelf life. Recent advances in nutrition science have highlighted the contribution of cheese to nutrition and health. It is a rich source of essential nutrients, in particular, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and also short chain fatty acids. Bioactive peptides from proteins, which are the main subject of this paper, can be generated either by fermentation processes during cheese-manufacturing or by gastrointestinal digestion after consumption. As cheese is a complex food matrix containing a large number of differentpeptides which change with the ripening time, they are produced during secondary proteolysis through the action of proteinases and peptidases. As long as they are bound in the proteins they are biologically inactive and can only be active after they have been released from their parent protein. Then, they can exert a wide range of biological activities such as antimicrobial, opioid, blood pressure-lowering, cholesterol-lowering, mineral binding, immunomodulating, and anti-carcinogenic activities. The article discusses the characteristics of cheese, distinguishing it as an important source of bioactive peptides with various activities. Bioavailability of bioactive peptides from cheese was described. The blood-pressure lowering activity was highlighted as milk proteins are the main source of this kind of bioactive peptides, and it is the best-studied and in vivoconfirmed effect. Attention has also been paid to three other activities expressed by bioactive peptides from cheese: anti-carcinogenic, antioxidative, and opioid.

description: Meson and anti-meson mixing processes constitute an important source of constraints on models that give tree level contributions to flavor violating neutral processes. In electroweak $ \text{SU}(3)_\text{L} \times \text{U}(1)_N $ models, where anomaly cancellation requires that one family of quarks transforms differently from the other ones, processes involving flavor changing neutral currents gain tree level contributions mediated by gauge and scalar fields. Here, we firstly investigate the contributions of the neutral scalar that mimics the standard Higgs to the $K^0-\bar K^0$, $B^0-\bar B^0$, and $D^0-\bar D^0$ mixing processes and confront our predictions with experiments. The results will determine the quark mixing matrices $V^{u,d}_L$. In possession of this information we, next, evaluate the contributions of the neutral gauge bosons $Z^{\prime}$ and $Z$ to the $K^0-\bar K^0$, $B^0-\bar B^0$, and $D^0-\bar D^0$ processes. This realistic approach to meson transitions will provide severe bounds on $M_{ Z^{\prime}}$ and $Z-Z^{\prime}$ mixing angle.

description: Recognizing handwriting images is challenging due to the vast variation in writing style across many people and distinct linguistic aspects of writing languages. In Vietnamese, besides the modern Latin characters, there are accent and letter marks together with characters that draw confusion to state-of-the-art handwriting recognition methods. Moreover, as a low-resource language, there are not many datasets for researching handwriting recognition in Vietnamese, which makes handwriting recognition in this language have a barrier for researchers to approach. Recent works evaluated offline handwriting recognition methods in Vietnamese using images from an online handwriting dataset constructed by connecting pen stroke coordinates without further processing. This approach obviously can not measure the ability of recognition methods effectively, as it is trivial and may be lack of features that are essential in offline handwriting images. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the Transferring method to construct a handwriting image dataset that associates crucial natural attributes required for offline handwriting images. Using our method, we provide a first high-quality synthetic dataset which is complex and natural for efficiently evaluating handwriting recognition methods. In addition, we conduct experiments with various state-of-the-art methods to figure out the challenge to reach the solution for handwriting recognition in Vietnamese.

description: Drift ordered fluid models are widely applied in studies of low-frequency turbulence in the edge and scrape-off layer regions of magnetically confined plasmas. Here, we show how collisional transport across the magnetic field is self-consistently incorporated into drift-fluid models without altering the drift-fluid energy integral. We demonstrate that the inclusion of collisional transport in drift-fluid models gives rise to diffusion of particle density, momentum and pressures in drift-fluid turbulence models and thereby obviate the customary use of artificial diffusion in turbulence simulations. We further derive a computationally efficient, two-dimensional model which can be time integrated for several turbulence de-correlation times using only limited computational resources. The model describes interchange turbulence in a two-dimensional plane perpendicular to the magnetic field located at the outboard midplane of a tokamak. The model domain has two regions modeling open and closed field lines. The model employs a computational expedient model for collisional transport. Numerical simulations show good agreement between the full and the simplified model for collisional transport.

Predicting Reappraisal Success with Innate Neural Connectivity Across the Adult Lifespan
Creators: name: Longwell, Parker
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: Reappraisal — reinterpreting a situation to change emotional response — is an effective emotion regulation strategy that relies on cognitive control network activity, including engagement of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), to attenuate amygdala activity. Greater dlPFC-Amygdala functional connectivity predicts instructed reappraisal task success, and daily use of reappraisal for younger adults (Pico-Perez et al.., 2018) but not older adults (Opitz et al., 2012), while the connectivity of the vmPFC is predictive of physiological markers of ER success for all ages (Sakaki et al., 2016 & Urry et al., 2006). However, the relationship between Resting-State Functional Connectivity (RSFC) and reappraisal task success across the lifespan has yet to be investigated. Participants in the Cambridge Center for Aging Neuroscience study (N=299) completed an 8-minute resting-state fMRI scan. In each trial of an emotion regulation task, participants either viewed or reappraised a negative film and reported post-regulation positive affect. RSFC across bilateral amygdala and the mPFC, the left and the right dlPFC were calculated with Matlab’s CONN Toolbox. The hypothesis is that the strength of the amygdala-mPFC RSFC will predict lower negative and higher positive affect scores after reappraising, however, this study data failed to find evidence to support this hypothesis. The association between the amygdala-dlPFC RSFC and post-reappraisal negative affect scores was moderated by age. Positive affect was higher when there was a stronger negative RSFC in young and middle-aged adults, and this relationship was not significant at older ages (~72). Our results suggest that dlPFC-amygdala activity at rest may be a predictor of emotion regulation in younger and midlife adults but that dlPFC-amygdala activity may be less predictive of emotion regulation outcomes in later life.

description: High $T_c$ cuprate strange metals are noted for a DC-resistivity that scales linearly with $T$ from the onset of superconductivity to the crystal melting temperature, indicative of a Planckian dissipation life time $τ_{\hbar}\simeq \hbar /(k_B T)$. At the same time, the optical conductivity ceases to be of Drude form at high temperatures, suggesting a change of the underlying dynamics that surprisingly leaves the $T$-linear DC-resistivity unaffected. We use the AdS/CFT correspondence that describes strongly coupled, densely entangled metals to study DC thermo-electrical transport and the optical conductivities of the local quantum critical Gubser-Rocha holographic strange metal in the presence of a lattice potential, a prime candidate to compare with experiment. We find that the DC-resistivity is linear in $T$ at low temperatures for a range of lattice strengths and wavevectors, even as it transitions between different dissipative regimes. At weak lattice potential the optical conductivity evolves with increasing temperature from a Drude form to a bad-metal characterized by a mid-IR resonance without changing the DC transport, similar to that seen in cuprate strange metals. This mid-IR peak and its temperature evolution can be understood as a consequence of Umklapp hydrodynamics: hydrodynamic perturbations are Bloch modes in the presence of a lattice. At strong lattice potential an incoherent metal is realized instead where momentum conservation no longer plays a role in transport. In this regime the thermal diffusivity can be explained by Planckian dissipation originating in universal microscopic chaos, similar to holographic metals with strong homogeneous momentum relaxation. The charge diffusivity does not submit to this chaos explanation, even though the continuing linear-in-$T$ DC resistivity saturates to an apparent universal slope, numerically equal to a Planckian rate.

description: A method is proposed to identify target states that optimize a metastability index amongst a set of trial states and use these target states as milestones (or core sets) to build Markov State Models (MSMs). If the optimized metastability index is small, this automatically guarantees the accuracy of the MSM, in the sense that the transitions between the target milestones is indeed approximately Markovian. The method is simple to implement and use, it does not require that the dynamics on the trial milestones be Markovian, and it also offers the possibility to partition the system's state-space by assigning every trial milestone to the target milestones it is most likely to visit next and to identify transition state regions. Here the method is tested on the Gly-Ala-Gly peptide, where it shown to correctly identify the expected metastable states in the dihedral angle space of the molecule without \textit{a~priori} information about these states. It is also applied to analyze the folding landscape of the Beta3s mini-protein, where it is shown to identify the folded basin as a connecting hub between an helix-rich region, which is entropically stabilized, and a beta-rich region, which is energetically stabilized and acts as a kinetic trap.

description: We consider the $SU(6)$ GUT model as an explanation for the diphoton final state excess, where the masses of all associated particles are linked with a new symmetry breaking scale. In this model, the diphoton final states arise due to loops involving three pairs of new vector-like particles having the same quantum numbers as down-type quarks and lepton doublets. These new vector-like fermions are embedded alongside the SM fermions into minimal anomaly-free representations of the $SU(6)$ gauge symmetry. The $SU(6)$ symmetry is broken to the Standard Model times $U(1)_X$ at the GUT scale, and masses for the vector-like fermions arise at the TeV scale only after the residual $U(1)_X$ symmetry is broken. The vector-like fermions do not acquire masses via breaking of the SM symmetry at the EW scale. The field which is responsible for the newly observed resonance belongs to the $\bar{6}_H$ representation. The dark matter arises from the SM singlet fermion residing in $\bar{6}$ and is of Majorana type. We explicitly demonstrate gauge coupling unification in this model, and also discuss the origin of neutrino masses. In addition to the diphoton final states, we make distinctive predictions for other final states which are likewise accessible to the ongoing LHC experimental effort.

description: The grape seeds, which are the post-production waste of juices and wine production, are a rich source of biologically active compounds. The polyphenol compounds present in seeds can be used in the technology of new products of animal origin as a source of natural antioxidants. The effect of three levels (0.1, 0.2 and 0.5%) 40% (v/v) ethanol extract of grape seed (GSE) quality of dry-cured pork neck was tested. Meat product colour, pH value, water activity, free fatty acid (FFA) content and TBARS index were evaluated. The obtained results indicate that the addition of the extract decreased oxidation intensity dry-cured neck during ripening. The treatment with higher concentrations of extracts showed greater lipid stability than that of the lot with 0.1%. The three levels of GSE extract did not influence pH, water activity and colour significantly. This study indicates that the GSE extract was an effective inhibitor of lipid hydrolysis, and at an additive concentration of at least 0.2% limited the oxidative processes occurring in meats during ripening. Therefore, it may be used in dry-cured pork neck to improve the oxidative stability of meat products for the consumers.

description: The interactions of quarks and gluons are strong at non-perturbative region. The equation of state (EoS) of a strongly-interacting quantum chromodynamics (QCD) medium can only be studied using the first-principle lattice QCD calculations. However, the complicated QCD EoS can be reproduced using simple statistical formula by treating the medium as a free parton gas whose fundamental degree of freedoms are dressed quarks and gluons called quasi-particles, with temperature-dependent masses. We use deep neural network and auto differentiation to solve this variational problem in which the masses of quasi gluons, up/down and strange quarks are three unknown functions, whose forms are represented by deep neural network. We reproduce the QCD EoS using these machine learned quasi-particle masses, and calculate the shear viscosity over entropy density ($η/s$) as a function of temperature of the hot QCD matter.

description: Bacterial biofilm is a complex structure of microorganisms with variable qualitative composition depending on the raw materials used, parameters of the production process and localization in hardly accessible places for antimicrobial agents. At the same time, the life of bacteria in the biofilm structure increases the resistance of pathogens and the probability of their survival in adverse conditions. However, the effectiveness of biofilm removal is still not satisfactory, despite the constant improvement of the cleaning and disinfection procedures of industrial surfaces. The methods of biofilm eradication used so far can be divided into three groups (physical, biological, chemical). Numerous in vitro studies indicate that alternatives to commonly used disinfectants may be natural substances such as essential oils that have bactericidal and bacteriostatic activity. The present review will focus on describing biofilm formation and performance. In addition, the paper describes an overview of the methods used to prevent and eradicate biofilms.

description: Speech emotion recognition (SER) plays a vital role in improving the interactions between humans and machines by inferring human emotion and affective states from speech signals. Whereas recent works primarily focus on mining spatiotemporal information from hand-crafted features, we explore how to model the temporal patterns of speech emotions from dynamic temporal scales. Towards that goal, we introduce a novel temporal emotional modeling approach for SER, termed Temporal-aware bI-direction Multi-scale Network (TIM-Net), which learns multi-scale contextual affective representations from various time scales. Specifically, TIM-Net first employs temporal-aware blocks to learn temporal affective representation, then integrates complementary information from the past and the future to enrich contextual representations, and finally, fuses multiple time scale features for better adaptation to the emotional variation. Extensive experimental results on six benchmark SER datasets demonstrate the superior performance of TIM-Net, gaining 2.34% and 2.61% improvements of the average UAR and WAR over the second-best on each corpus.

description: Phanerochaete chrysosporium is an ubiquitous fungus having huge potential for application in biodegradation processes. Its enzymatic system, consisting of ligninases, membrane-associated oxidases and hydrogen peroxide generating enzymes is capable of degrading a wide range of pollutants like 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 2,5-dinitrophenol, 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid or azodyes produced by military or civilian industry. Synergetic action between enzymes, based on providing substrates essential for their activity and their extreme low-specificity guarantees successful degradation of recalcitrant pollutants. Nevertheless, a development of a technique, taking into the account the type of pollutant, its concentration in the environment, its metabolic pathway and maintenance of the system is required. This paper presents a literature survey related to enzymatic system of a white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium and its potential application in biodegradation processes.

description: Abstract Lack of consistency and reproducibility in the experimental thermal properties of nanofluids are causing limitations in the advancement of this field. The origin of such anomalies remains unclear. To address these issues, and from the need for uniform description at the molecular level, this thesis studies various nano-structures (of different sizes and shapes) with free surfaces. To perform the studies all-atom classical molecular dynamics is used. Using the "soft" phonon description of the liquid-like layers formed on the surfaces, several structural and dynamic properties were found to be strongly linked to the surface phonons. With the classical description of collective vibration amplitudes at the surface layers, universal criteria of phase transition are proposed. The specific heat increase is correlated to the decrease of the interface density and to the corresponding appearance of thermal modes able to store more efficiently the heat, the softer surface phonons, which, clearly, are not present in bulk systems. From the results, a generic criterion for the heat capacity enhancement in solid nanoparticles is suggested, with a scaling law for planar surfaces.

description: We investigate the survival probability of a particle diffusing between two parallel reflecting planes toward a periodic array of absorbing pillars. We approximate the periodic cell of this system by a cylindrical tube containing a single pillar. Using a mode matching method, we obtain an exact solution of the modified Helmholtz equation in this domain that determines the Laplace transform of the survival probability and the associated distribution of first-passage times. This solution reveals the respective roles of several geometric parameters: the height and radius of the pillar, the inter-pillar distance, and the distance between confining planes. This model allows us to explore different asymptotic regimes in the probability density of the first-passage time. In the practically relevant case of a large distance between confining planes, we argue that the mean first-passage time is much larger than the typical time and thus uninformative. We also illustrate the failure of the capacitance approximation for the principal eigenvalue of the Laplace operator. Some practical implications and future perspectives are discussed.

description: As an extension of the previous work [arXiv: 1512.02411], we have investigated the role of circularly polarized (CP) laser pulses while keeping other conditions the same. It is found that in the presence of large scale pre-formed plasmas, super-high energetic electrons can be generated at relativistic CP laser-solid interactions. For laser of intensity $10^{20}\ \text{W}/\text{cm}^2$ and pre-plasma scale-length $10\ μ\text{m}$, the cut-off energy of electron by CP laser is $120\ \text{MeV}$ compared with $100\ \text{MeV}$ in the case of linearly polarized (LP) laser. The unexpected super-high energetic electron acceleration can also be explained by the two-stage acceleration model, {by taking into account the envelop modulation effects of the reflected CP laser pulse.} The underlying physics of this envelop modulation is figured out, and a modified first-stage electron acceleration scaling law in the presence of the modulated-CP laser is also obtained.

description: In this paper, we propose the augmented physics-informed neural network (APINN), which adopts soft and trainable domain decomposition and flexible parameter sharing to further improve the extended PINN (XPINN) as well as the vanilla PINN methods. In particular, a trainable gate network is employed to mimic the hard decomposition of XPINN, which can be flexibly fine-tuned for discovering a potentially better partition. It weight-averages several sub-nets as the output of APINN. APINN does not require complex interface conditions, and its sub-nets can take advantage of all training samples rather than just part of the training data in their subdomains. Lastly, each sub-net shares part of the common parameters to capture the similar components in each decomposed function. Furthermore, following the PINN generalization theory in Hu et al. [2021], we show that APINN can improve generalization by proper gate network initialization and general domain & function decomposition. Extensive experiments on different types of PDEs demonstrate how APINN improves the PINN and XPINN methods. Specifically, we present examples where XPINN performs similarly to or worse than PINN, so that APINN can significantly improve both. We also show cases where XPINN is already better than PINN, so APINN can still slightly improve XPINN. Furthermore, we visualize the optimized gating networks and their optimization trajectories, and connect them with their performance, which helps discover the possibly optimal decomposition. Interestingly, if initialized by different decomposition, the performances of corresponding APINNs can differ drastically. This, in turn, shows the potential to design an optimal domain decomposition for the differential equation problem under consideration.

The Role of Autobiographical Memory Recall in Reappraisal Efficacy and Effort Across Age
Creators: name: Orlovsky, Irina
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: Socioemotional theories posit that the experience of overcoming unique life challenges over a lifetime enhances self-efficacy and emotional resilience among older adults. Older adults demonstrate greater emotional well-being and motivation to regulate emotions than younger adults, but specific regulatory mechanisms supporting late-life emotional resilience remain unclear. Cognitive reappraisal is an effective but cognitively demanding emotion regulation strategy and shows mixed efficacy in later-life. While a growing repertoire of autobiographical memories may be a resource with age, the role of autobiographical recall in momentary reappraisal has never been tested empirically. In this online study, older and younger adults were trained to reappraise the meaning of negative images as more positive by associating them either to any relevant autobiographical memory from the past (n=153), a specific cued autobiographical memory (reappraisal, n=118), or without autobiographical reference (n=156). Results revealed all strategies to be effective in regulating negative image intensity across age. While older adults outperformed younger adults in the non-AM condition, the opposite was observed for uncued AM reappraisals, and no age differences were found for cued AM reappraisals. Non-AM reappraisal was easiest to employ for all participants, and older adults reported all reappraisal strategies as easier than younger adults. While older adults found their AMs more helpful and more similar to reappraised images than younger adults, AM- image similarity was surprisingly associated with lower reappraisal efficacy. Findings suggests that AM reappraisal benefits are mixed for older adults, likely due to efficacy but higher associated cognitive burden of AM recall. We posit that older adults may sacrifice immediate hedonic relief, to engage with challenging but helpful emotion regulation strategies. We discuss limitations of this study, and areas for future directions to substantiate interpretations further.
