Didemnum nambucciensis

description: Didemnum nambucciensis sp. nov.
(figure 12)
 Distribution. Type locality: New South Wales (Nambucca Heads, 13 m, coll. J. Watson, 11 January 1972, holotype QM G10025; paratype QM G10026).
 Description. Colonies are large encrusting sheets, white in preservative with spicules crowded in the surface test (above the thoracic common cloacal canals). The basal test varies in thickness, sometimes forming the central core of ridges or conical elevations. It is gelatinous with relatively sparse spicules, sometimes in clouds but sometimes evenly distributed. Zooid openings are along each side of a network of slight surface depressions over the primary circular common cloacal canals that surround zooid-free areas. Each stellate branchial aperture is lined with spicules and is emphasized by the blackish pigment in the siphonal lining. About nine spiculefilled radial ribs are in the roof of the common cloacal cavity around each sessile common cloacal aperture. The common cloacal apertures are randomly distributed, and not always terminal. Spicules sometimes are stellate, to 0.05 mm diameter, with 17–19 crowded but slightly uneven conical rays; and others are globular with flat-tipped to rounded rays.
Zooids are a dark brownish colour, even after 25 years in preservative. They are small, with a relatively long cylindrical branchial siphon, a sessile, open atrial aperture with a pointed or rounded atrial tongue. A very long, tapering retractor muscle projects from the upper part of the oesophageal neck. The narrow thorax has about eight long narrow stigmata in the anterior row, but fewer in the other rows. Seven vas deferens coils are around the undivided testis. Larvae are not known.
 Remarks. The spicules resemble those of Didemnum chartaceum Sluiter, 1909, although they are smaller. However, the present species lacks the conspicuous bladder cells and spongy texture of D. chartaceum, has a thicker colony, spicules crowded throughout the upper layer of test and also in the lower half of the colony (rather than being only in single layers at the surface and on the base) and nine coils of the vas deferens. Didemnum multispirale Kott, 2001 also has spicules that resemble those of the present species but they are larger and it has more coils of the vas deferens. Didemnum elongatum Sluiter, 1909, D. moseleyi (Herdman, 1886) and D. poecilomorpha Monniot and Monniot, 1996 have stellate and globular spicules but fewer spicule rays than the present species.

description: The low-energy behavior of the strength function for the $1^-$ soft dipole excitation in $^{6}$He is studied theoretically. Use of very large basis sizes and well-grounded extrapolation procedures allows to move to energies as small as 1 keV, at which the low-energy asymptotic behavior of the E1 strength function seems to be achieved. It is found that the low-energy behavior of the strength function is well described in the effective three-body "dynamical dineutron model". The astrophysical rate for the $α$+$n$+$n \rightarrow ^6$He+$γ$ is calculated. Comparison with the previous calculations is performed.

description: We obtain the exact nontopological soliton lattice solutions of the Associated Lamé equation in different parameter regimes and compute the corresponding energy for each of these solutions. We show that in specific limits these solutions give rise to nontopological (pulse-like) single solitons, as well as to different types of topological (kink-like) single soliton solutions of the Associated Lamé equation. Following Manton, we also compute, as an illustration, the asymptotic interaction energy between these soliton solutions in one particular case. Finally, in specific limits, we deduce the soliton lattices, as well as the topological single soliton solutions of the Lamé equation, and also the sine-Gordon soliton solution.

description: The realization that direct imaging of extrasolar planets could be technologically feasible within the next decade or so has inspired a great deal of recent research into high-contrast imaging. We ourselves have contributed several design ideas, all of which can be described as shaped pupil coronagraphs. In this paper, we offer a complete and unified survey of asymmetric shaped pupils designs, some of which have been published in our previous papers. We also introduce a promising new design, which we call barcode masks. These masks achieve the required contrast with a fairly large discovery zone and throughput but most importantly they are perhaps the easiest to manufacture and might therefore stand up best to a refined analysis based on vector propogation techniques.

description: Climate change poses serious economic challenges including low quality and yield of produce and high post-harvest losses leading to low incomes among smallholder tomato farmers. Recent literature shows possible ways of managing climate change, including innovatively altering the timing of farming operations to avoid adverse weather conditions and or taking advantage of favorable conditions. However, available literature on farmers’ decision-making behaviour and the main factors that influence their willingness to adopt innovative management strategies is scanty. The current study addressed this knowledge gap by analyzing factors affecting smallholder tomato farmers’ willingness to adopt innovative timing approaches to manage climate change effects in Taita Taveta County. Three innovative timing approaches, namely, off-season production, transportation of produce during cool periods of the day and processing of tomatoes to extend shelf life were identified at three nodes of the tomato value chain. A twostage sampling technique was used to randomly select 196 smallholder tomato farmers who were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and a Multinomial Logit (MNL) model were applied in data analysis. Results from the study show that farmers are coping with climate change through practices such as early preparation of land, changing planting dates, increasing the frequency and timeliness of weeding and using early maturing crop varieties. The MNL analysis showed that gender, access to credit, group membership, age and income are the main factors that determine farmers’ willingness to adopt innovative timing approaches. These findings offer useful insights for improving the planning of investments in the tomato value chain, for enhanced stability of farm incomes among farmers. In particular, interventions that would help to boost farmers’ uptake of off-season production include improving farmers’ access to credit through lowering interest rates and simplifying application and disbursement procedures of financial service providers, as well as formation of farmer groups to enhance processing of their produce.

description: The Bethe ansatz in its several formulations is the common tool for the exact solution of one dimensional quantum Hamiltonians. This ansatz asserts that the several eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonians are given in terms of a sum of permutations of plane waves. We present results that induce us to expect that, alternatively, the eigenfunctions of all the exact integrable quantum chains can also be expressed by a matrix product ansatz. In this ansatz the several components of the eigenfunctions are obtained through the algebraic properties of properly defined matrices. This ansatz allows an unified formulation of several exact integrable Hamiltonians. We show how to formulate this ansatz for a huge family of quantum chains like the anisotropic Heisenberg model, Fateev-Zamolodchikov model, Izergin-Korepin model, $t-J$ model, Hubbard model, etc.

title: Directed Morphogenesis of Smallpox Vaccine for Enhanced Immunogenicity and Decreased Side Effects
Creators: name: Dean, Rachel Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: Vaccinia virus (VACV) produces two morphologically distinct mature virions: enveloped virus (EV) and intracellular mature virus (IMV). EV is produced first in the replication cycle and is required for virus dissemination. IMV is thought to be produced by default, when the cellular membranes that wrap EV become exhausted and as the more robust particle, is involved in host-to-host transmission. The aim of this study was to examine the hypothesis that IMV production is not a default, but is an active process mediated by the IMV-specific protein, A26. Two recombinant VACVs were constructed: vldA26L and vldA26L. neo, in which the A26L gene was deleted or inactivated. One-step growth curves demonstrated a reduction in virus yields for these viruses. Examination of the kinetics of EV and IMV production by the A26L deletion mutants did not demonstrate a reduction in IMV as expected, yet the production of single-membraned virus was perturbed when compared to wild-type VACV IHD-J and a revertant virus. Constitutive expression of A26 from a synthetic early/late promoter did not affect virus yields and did not result in increased production of IMV in favour of EV. Treatment of virions with membrane perturbing agents demonstrated increased susceptibility of EV to inactivation when compared to IMV, suggesting that the EV pre-cursor and mature IMV are different particles. Mutant IMV from A26L-VACV cultures demonstrated increased sensitivity to the detergent Tween-20 when compared to wild-type IMV, behaving similarly to stripped EV. This suggests resistance might be attributable to the presence of IMV-specific proteins that are not found on stripped EV. This study provides evidence that IMV is a true end-stage product of VACV morphogenesis, and that OPVs employ a mechanism to actively differentiate particles towards IMV, thus preventing maturation of a subset of virions as EV. This results in two non-interchangeable isoforms of mature infectious virions that are produced to perform their individual functions in the virus life-cycle.

description: In the transition to a renewable energy system, the occurrence of low-wind-power events receives increasing attention. We analyze the frequency and duration of such events for onshore wind power in Germany, based on 40 years of reanalysis data and open software. We find that low-wind-power events are less frequent in winter than in summer, but the maximum duration is distributed more evenly between months. While short events are frequent, very long events are much rarer. Every year, a period of around five consecutive days with an average wind capacity factor below 10% occurs, and every ten years a respective period of nearly eight days. These durations decrease if only winter months are considered. The longest event in the data lasts nearly ten days. We conclude that public concerns about low-wind-power events in winter may be overrated, but recommend that modeling studies consider multiple weather years to properly account for such events.

description: We analyze an asymptotically exact solution for the transition temperature of p-wave superconductivity near ferromagnetic criticality on the basis of the three-dimensional electron systems in which scattering processes are dominated by exchange interactions with small momentum transfers. Taking into account all Feynman diagrams in the gap equation, we show that vertex corrections neglected in the conventional Eliashberg's formalism enhance the dynamical retarded effect of the pairing interaction, and raise the superconducting transition temperature significantly, though they just give subleading corrections to properties of the normal state.

description: The two-level correlation function $R_{d,β}(s)$ of $d$-dimensional disordered models ($d=1$, 2, and 3) with long-range random-hopping amplitudes is investigated numerically at criticality. We focus on models with orthogonal ($β=1$) or unitary ($β=2$) symmetry in the strong ($b^d \ll 1$) coupling regime, where the parameter $b^{-d}$ plays the role of the coupling constant of the model. It is found that $R_{d,β}(s)$ is of the form $R_{d,β}(s)=1+δ(s)-F_β(s^β/b^{dβ})$, where $F_{1}(x)=\text{erfc}(a_{d,β} x)$ and $F_{2}(x)=\exp (-a_{d,β} x^2)$, with $a_{d,β}$ being a numerical coefficient depending on the dimensionality and the universality class. Finally, the level number variance and the spectral compressibility are also considerded.

description: The competitiveness of the South African agro-food and fibre complex depends on a number of factors: technological, socio-political and economic. This paper attempts to identify and analyse such factors by using a framework of analysis proposed by Michael Porter (1990). Appropriate measures to increase competitiveness are proposed. These include improved supply chain management, cost reduction, contractual pricing and the establishment of a clear "agribusiness development policy".
title: Cryptococcal Meningitis in Viet Nam

Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: Cryptococcal neoformans is the commonest cause of invasive fungal disease in the world, causing up to 1.5 million cases of meningitis each year, and 1 million deaths. The aims of this thesis were to understand the differences in cryptococcal meningitis in Viet Nam in relation to the HIV infection status of the host, focussing on disease clinical phenotype, prognostic factors and the molecular epidemiology of the infecting isolates. In addition, the thesis examines the antifungal susceptibilities of Vietnamese Cryptococcus spp, how these vary by species and time, and the clinical utility of their measurement.

Patients drawn from two prospective cohorts (HIV infected and HIV uninfected) form the basis of the thesis. The HIV uninfected patients are predominantly immunocompetent. Clinical and investigational findings are compared in relation to the literature. HIV patients had shorter durations of history and more frequent headache, but there were few differences in clinical presentation. Previously published prognostic factors were reassessed; only 3 of 40 (altered consciousness, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) white cell count, and CSF cryptococcal antigen titre) were independently associated with outcome.

Mortality was significantly higher in HIV infected patients, but the shapes of the survival curves were similar for both groups, most deaths occurring in the first 4 weeks of treatment.

Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism analysis was used to define the relationships between HIV positive and negative strains - a clade of C. neoformans var grubii with increased propensity to cause disease in immunocompetent patients was identified. The Sensititre® YeastOne® system was used to determine MICs of 7 antifungal drugs. The susceptibility of C. neoformans has decreased significantly over a 13 year period. No relationship with the rate of clearance of yeast from CSF and antifungal MIC was found, but raised amphotericin B MIC after 48 hours incubation may be associated with early death and warrants further investigation.

description: In Internet marketing, click-through rate (CTR) is a metric that measures the number of clicks advertisers receive on their ads per number of impressions. Many researches were carried out on sponsored search where the search query features are taken into account. At an appropriate location the placement of ads leads to CTR value rise which in result increase the customer access growth and also increase the profit for all of the related peoples. So, it means the placement strategy and its efficiency is more important aspect of click through rate. This research work proposes the model which generates the CTR on bases of different dimensions using Avazu mobile adsrate datasets. And from this paper it was concluded that The hourly clicks pattern looks pretty similar every day while in case of days Tuesdays have the greatest number of impressions and clicks, then Wednesdays, followed by Thursdays. Mondays and Fridays have the least number of impressions and clicks. While Tuesdays and Wednesdays have the highest number, of impersonations and ticks, their CTR are amongst the lowermost. Saturdays and Sundays like the uppermost CTR. Seemingly, persons have more period to click over the vacation. It is detected from the investigational consequences that care vector reversion classical is more efficient than the other two models in forecasting click through rate.

description: In diesem Beitrag wird die Zahlungsbereitschaft für verschiedene Verfahren zur Einsparung von CO2- Emissionen im norddeutschen Raum mittels eines Discrete-Choice-Experimentes untersucht. Die Ergebnisse einer Latent-Class-Schätzung zeigen, dass die Befragten in vier verschiedene Klassen eingeteilt werden können. Die Klassenzugehörigkeit wird dabei im Wesentlichen durch das Alter und die allgemeine Neigung zum Klimaschutz determiniert. Insgesamt haben alle Probanden die höchste Präferenz für die Einsparung von CO2-Emissionen durch entsprechende Zertifikate, die geringste Präferenz haben die Probanden für die Speicherung von CO2 in unterirdischen Lagerstätten. Die ermittelten Zahlungsbereitschaften für CO2-Einsparungen schwanken von 644 €/t CO2 bis zu Kompensationsforderungen für die Anwendung eines bestimmten Verfahrens zur Verringerung von CO2-Emissionen von 161 €/t CO2. In this article the willingness to pay for different methods to save carbon dioxide emissions in northern Germany are examined by a Discrete Choice Experiment. The results of a latent-class estimation show, that the respondents could be disposed into four different classes. The membership to a certain class is mostly determined by the age and the common preferences for climate protection of the respondents. All respondents have the highest preference to save CO2 emissions by CO2-certificates, the lowest preferences exist for the carbon dioxide capture and storage method. The results vary between a willingness to pay for saving CO2 emissions of 644 €/t and a willingness to accept a certain method for a compensation of 161 €/t carbon dioxide.

description: We show that the simultaneous measurement of yields and fluctuations is capable of falsifying and constraining the statistical hadronization model. We show how such a measurement can test for chemical non-equilibrium, and distinguish between a high temperature chemically equilibrated freeze-out from a supercooled freeze-out with an over-saturated phase space. We perform a fit, and show that both yields and fluctuations measured at RHIC 200 GeV can be accounted for within the second scenario, with both the light and strange quark phase space saturated significantly above detailed balance. We point to the simultaneous fit of the $K/π$ fluctuation and the $K^*/K^-$ ratio as evidence that the effect of hadronic re-interactions after freeze-out is small.

description: This study presents the map, analysis and benchmark of the existing policies, plans and initiatives relevant to food innovation at an Apulian and/or Italian level. The analysis has been performed in the framework of the activity 3.1 of WP3- "Analysis of policies and strategies for food innovation". The document has been elaborated according to the methodological guidelines elaborated by WP3 leader of Inno- Food SEE project. The first part of the document focuses on a general presentation of Apulia Region from an economic point of view, presenting the main data about social and economic situation and describing successively the Agrofood sector, with its breakdown in Agriculture and Food Industry. In the second part of the study the focus is deployed on the Research and innovation, starting from the Italian national system to the regional one. The main players, as well as priorities, initiatives and measures are presented, highlighting a system that is being improved and strengthen by Italian Government, as a pillar of economic scenario and a necessary choice to enforce the overall Italian system in this period of crisis. Research and innovation are considered as the main priorities to sustain the economic growth or recovery by SMEs, representing more than 90% of industrial players in our country. According to this policy, a strong intervention is being given in favour of industries and research actors, pushing the research system and the SMEs one to link together towards a sustainable process of innovation. Main projects have been funded by National and European founds in the Agrofood sector, addressing the priorities for the innovation set at National level. A key role in this process is played by Regional Authority, who is in charge of EU funds management by issuing Operational Program and implementing it through appropriate measures for the local growth. Measures, projects and initiatives are sustaining the regional agrofood, which represents one of the strategic economic sectors defined by Apulia Region. The overview includes also a short view on future policies, strategies and plans, that follow the European guideline and approach, and finally a preliminary Assessment of National and Regional Innovation policies and plans and a comparison against international food clusters.

 Distribution. New record: NW Australia (Passage Is, WAM 160.93). Previously recorded (see Kott, 2001): NW Australia (Lord Mayor Shoal, Montebello Is, Bonaparte Archipelago), Northern Territory, New Caledonia, Philippines.
 Description. The colony has cylindrical to tongue-shaped lobes that branch and fuse along their length. Conspicuous, white-rimmed, sessile common cloacal apertures are randomly placed on the surface. Spicules are crowded in a layer at the surface and they form a rod in the centre of the central test core. They are not present elsewhere. The posterior abdominal common cloacal cavity surrounds the central test core and is continuous with the primary canals that surround clumps of zooids. Secondary cavities penetrate in amongst the thoraces in each clump, separating them from one another. Embryos are in the central test around the outside of the central rod of crowded spicules. Larvae are of the usual form with a ring of about 34 narrow epidermal ampullae around the three antero-median adhesive organs. They were collected in December.
Zooids have a retractor muscle and nine coils of the vas deferens. Spicules (to 0.06 mm diameter) have 9–11 pointed conical or blunt-tipped rays in optical transverse section. Sometimes the rays have bifid tips.
 Remarks. The absence of spicules from part of the colony has not previously been reported for this species, although spicules are reported to be more crowded in the central axis than elsewhere (see Kott, 2001).

description: Motivated by observations of outflowing galaxies, we investigate the combined impact of magnetic fields and radiative cooling on the evolution of cold clouds embedded in a hot wind. We perform a collection of three-dimensional adaptive mesh refinement, magnetohydrodynamical simulations that span two resolutions, and include fields that are aligned and transverse to the oncoming, super-Alfvénic material. Aligned fields have little impact on the overall lifetime of the clouds over the non-magnetized case, although they do increase the mixing between the wind and cloud material by a factor of $\approx 3.$ Transverse fields lead to magnetic draping, which isolates the clouds, but they also squeeze material in the direction perpendicular to the field lines, which leads to rapid mass loss. A resolution study suggests that the magnetized simulations have somewhat better convergence properties than non-magnetized simulations, and that a resolution of 64 zones per cloud radius is sufficient to accurately describe these interactions. We conclude that the combined effects of radiative cooling and magnetic fields are dependent on field orientation, but are unlikely to enhance cloud lifetimes beyond the effect of radiative cooling alone.

description:         July 2020 has seen a 5% uptick in media coverage of climate change or global warming, but still at levels 37% lower than a year ago (July 2019). While that represents somewhat of a rebound, media coverage of climate change or global warming remained at lower levels than the quantity of coverage at the start of 2020 as well as during the previous Northern Hemisphere summer of 2019 (see Figure 1). Regionally, the changes in quantity of ongoing stream of stories in July as compared to June 2020 was mixed: the number of articles in Latin American and African sources were up slightly (+0.5% and +1.5% respectively), while up more in North American, Asian and Middle Eastern sources (+9%, +12% and +31% respectively); meanwhile the amount of climate change coverage was down slightly in Europe (-3.5%) while down a bit more in Oceania (-8%).
title: Analysis of the Production and Composition of Outer Membrane Vesicles in the Pathogenic Bacterium Neisseria menengitidis for Improved Vaccine Production

description: Extraction of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from Neisseria meningitidis for vaccine production relies exclusively on the use of detergent. Broader protection is induced from naturally formed vesicles but insufficient quantities are generated. Little is known about the mechanisms governing the release, morphology and composition of the OMVs. To identify factors involved in these processes two N. meningitidis proteins, GNA33 and RmpM, were examined. In addition the tol-pal genes from Escherichia coli, a complex which stabilises the outer membrane, were expressed in N. meningitidis. Increased vesicle release could be induced by deletion or mutation of RmpM, the structural protein binding the outer membrane to the peptidoglycan. Regulation of size and shape of vesicles was perturbed by the deletion of the GNA33 protein and by the expression of theTol-Pal proteins. Together these observations indicated a model of vesicle release controlled by selective disconnection of RmpM resulting in separation of the peptidoglycan from the outer membrane. Vesicle size is maintained by the even distribution of proteins that anchored the outer membrane to the peptidoglycan, including GNA33. A strain containing a mutated RmpM protein that lacked only the C-terminal peptidoglycan binding domain demonstrated the greatest increase in vesicle production. In addition, due to the presence of the RmpM N-terminal domain, this mutant maintained interaction with outer membrane proteins and produced vesicles enriched for the immunodominant protein PorA. This combination of PorA enrichment and increased vesicle release makes this strain an excellent candidate for vaccine production.

description: This study of gauge field theories on kappa-deformed Minkowski spacetime extends previous work on field theories on this example of a noncommutative spacetime. We construct deformed gauge theories for arbitrary compact Lie groups using the concept of enveloping algebra-valued gauge transformations and the Seiberg-Witten formalism. Derivative-valued gauge fields lead to field strength tensors as the sum of curvature- and torsion-like terms. We construct the Lagrangians explicitly to first order in the deformation parameter. This is the first example of a gauge theory that possesses a deformed Lorentz covariance.

description: Migrants who had moved to a rural area of southern Kentucky within the last 5 years earned no more, on average, than long-term residents. But those who had moved to the area 5-10 years earlier earned far more, despite similar characteristics with the recent migrants. This article identifies the significant factors influencing wages for each group of residents in a rapidly growing nonmetro area.
The puzzles in $B\to ππ$ and $ πK$ decays: possible implications for R-parity violating supersymmetry

description: Recent experiments suggest that certain data of $B \to ππ,πK$ decays are inconsistent with the standard model expectations. We try to explain the discrepancies with R-parity violating suppersymmetry. By employing the QCD factorization approach, we study these decays in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with R-parity violation. We show that R-parity violation can resolve the discrepancies in both $B \to ππ$ and $B \to πK$ decays, and find that in some regions of parameter spaces all these requirements, including the CP averaged branching ratios and the direct CP asymmetries, can be satisfied. Furthermore, we have derived stringent bounds on relevant R-parity violating couplings from the latest experimental data, and some of these constraints are stronger than the existing bounds.

description: Dark Energy is the dominant component of the energy density of the universe. In a previous paper, we have shown that the collapse of dark energy fields leads to the formation of Super Massive Black Holes with masses comparable to the masses of Black Holes at the centers of galaxies. Thus it becomes a pressing issue to investigate the other physical consequences of the collapse of Dark Energy fields. Given that the primary interactions of Dark Energy fields with the rest of the Universe are gravitational, it is particularly interesting to investigate the gravitational wave signals emitted during the process of the collapse of Dark Energy fields. This is the focus of the current work described in this paper. We describe and use the 3+1 BSSN formalism to follow the evolution of the dark energy fields coupled with gravity and to extract the gravitational wave signals. Finally, we describe the results of our numerical computations and the gravitational wave signals produced as a result of the collapse of the dark energy fields.

 Distribution. New record: Queensland (Big Broadhurst Reef, QM GH5350). Previously recorded (see Kott, 2001): Queensland (Capricorn Group, Swain Reefs), New Caledonia, Indonesia.
 Description. In preservative, the colony is a hard white sheet. The stellate branchial apertures are lined with spicules, which are crowded throughout the colony. They are stellate to 0.05 mm diameter, with five to seven, and occasionally nine, robust conical rays in optical transverse section. The ray length / spicule diameter ratio is 0.4, the common cloacal cavity is a large horizontal space with thoraces crossing it, either separately with a ventral strip of test, or in groups of two or three clustered around a common test connective, each presenting the wide, sessile, dorsal atrial aperture to the surrounding common cloacal cavity. A small atrial lip projects from the upper rim of the aperture. Abdomina are embedded in the hard basal layer of test. Nine stigmata are in the anterior row and seven in the posterior row. A retractor muscle projects posteriorly from half to three-quarters of the way down the oesophageal neck. The post-pyloric part of the gut loop is bent ventrally to form a double loop. Oesophageal buds are present but neither zooids nor embryos were detected.
 Remarks. The moderate-sized stellate spicules with relatively few rays resemble, but are larger than, those of the temperate species D. incanum (Herdman, 1899) which has smaller zooids with fewer stigmata.
One more stigmata per row has been detected in the newly recorded zooids than previously reported for this species. Other characters, the robust zooids with a fine retractor muscle and double gut loop, a horizontal common cloacal cavity and sturdy stellate spicules with relatively long rays, occur in all examined specimens (see Kott, 2001).

description: In the present research the impact of processing (soaking, cooking and sterilisation) and oxygen availability during storage (up to 40 weeks at 20 ºC) on the volatile compounds in whole chickpeas was investigated. Volatile profiles of the differently processed chickpeas were obtained and compared. Soaking resulted in an increased number of aldehydes and alcohols, while thermal processing (e.g. cooking and sterilisation) originated compounds like furan derivatives, sulphur compounds and aromatic compounds. More hydrocarbons, ketones and sulphur compounds were formed in sterilised chickpeas after storage at higher oxygen availability, while more alcohols were present in the chickpeas stored at lower oxygen availability. The results showed that both processing and oxygen availably during storage significantly affected the volatile profile of intact chickpeas.

description: A new hidden symmetry is exhibited in the reflection equation and related quantum integrable models. It is generated by a dual pair of operators $\{\textsf{A}, \textsf{A}^*\}\in{\cal A}$ subject to $q-$deformed Dolan-Grady relations. Using the inverse scattering method, a new family of quantum integrable models is proposed. In the simplest case, the Hamiltonian is linear in the fundamental generators of ${\cal A}$. For general values of $q$, the corresponding spectral problem is quasi-exactly solvable. Several examples of two-dimensional massive/massless (boundary) integrable models are reconsidered in light of this approach, for which the fundamental generators of ${\cal A}$ are constructed explicitly and exact results are obtained. In particular, we exhibit a dynamical Askey-Wilson symmetry algebra in the (boundary) sine-Gordon model and show that asymptotic (boundary) states can be expressed in terms of $q-$orthogonal polynomials.

description: We discuss results of numerical analyses of the 3+1 dimensional Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model at non-zero baryon density. By studying relevant order parameters, it is shown that the model goes through a transition between a vacuum with broken chiral symmetry, and a chirally restored phase at high baryon chemical potential (mu) with a diquark condensate roughly proportional to the area of the Fermi surface and a broken U(1) baryon number symmetry. The condensation of diquark pairs from the fermionic spectrum is shown to lead to an energy gap (Delta) about the Fermi energy (E_F), which is found to be approximately 15% of the vacuum fermion mass and roughly independent of mu in the chirally restored phase. The ground-state is believed, therefore, to be that of a BCS superfluid. We also discuss the effect of simulating on a finite volume, and any caveats this places on the conclusions made above.
