description: A huge progress has been achieved in mammalian in vitro technique. Instead, of the many trials to develop marine invertebrate cell cultures, only a few have obtained them and only from few tissues. Since in vitro cell culture of invertebrates could be very useful for many aspects of basic and applied science, in this work we investigate and describe the development of a technique for the establishment of cell cultures from gill, mantle and gonadic tissue of the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum). We maintained viable cultures for up to 25 days. Culture viability and proliferation were tested with 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide (MTT) and with trypan blue, while an antibody against the ATP-dependent RNA helicase VASA, a protein expressed in the germline, and in multipotent stem cells of some animals, was used to verify the presence of these cell types. Following the described protocol: 1) explant resulted the better source to obtain cell cultures, when compared to enzymatic dissociation; 2) cultures of suspended cells were viable for longer period than adherent cells; 3) cell cultures obtained from tissues sampled in September-October performed better compared to other periods of the year, regarding maintenance and growth; 4) the tissue from which we obtained longer-lived cell cultures was gonadic tissue, especially form samples that show more undifferentiated germ cells and more VASA-stained cells. This study describes the challenges concerning the development of in vitro culture techniques for aquatic invertebrates.

description: We present spectroscopy and orbital periods Porb of four relatively little-studied cataclysmic variable stars. The stars and their periods are: AF Cam, Porb = 0.324(1) d (the daily cycle count is slightly ambiguous); V2069 Cyg (= RX J2123.7+4217), 0.311683(2) d; PG 0935+075, 0.1868(3) d; and KUV 03580+0614, 0.1495(6) d. V2069 Cyg and KUV 03580+0614 both show HeII lambda 4686 emission comparable in strength to H beta. V2069 Cyg appears to be a luminous novalike variable, and the strong HeII suggests it may be an intermediate polar. The period of KUV 03580+0614 is similar to members of the SW Sex-type novalike variables, and it shows the phase-dependent absorption in the Balmer and He I lines typical of this subclass. AF Cam shows absorption features from a K-type secondary, as expected given its rather long orbital period. The secondary spectrum and the outburst magnitude both suggest that AF Cam is about 1 kpc distant. The spectrum of PG 0935+075 resembles that of a dwarf nova at minimum light, with a noticeable contribution from an M-dwarf secondary star. The secondary spectrum and a tentative outburst magnitude both suggest a distance near 500 pc.

description: Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) play an important role in the decarbonization of the transportation sector. For a wider adoption of ZEVs, providing a reliable infrastructure is critical. We present a machine learning approach that uses unsupervised temporal clustering algorithm along with survey analysis to determine infrastructure performance and reliability of alternative fuels. We illustrate this approach for the hydrogen fueling stations in California, but this can be generalized for other regions and fuels.

description: Extant literature suggests that the use of equivalence testing is poor in several research fields. However, to date, issues in the selection, application, and execution of equivalence tests within psychology have not been examined. The objective of the current thesis was to investigate the use of equivalence testing in psychology that could be targeted in novel educational materials. Study 1, a scoping review, aimed to quantify issues in the reporting of equivalence testing in published, peer-reviewed psychological research. Study 2 involved a qualitative investigation of the use of equivalence testing that aimed to identify the decision-making processes that underly the implementation of equivalence testing. Study 3, using Monte Carlo methods, aimed to quantify the effects of various data related issues (e.g., sample size, variance heterogeneity) on the Type I and II error rates of a specific equivalence test.

description: Many students experience mathematics as a neutral entity, without understanding its impact on social justice and equity. Students must understand that mathematics and statistics are powerful tools for creating social change, and that students themselves are capable to enact positive social change through their mathematical abilities. In this paper, we discuss how we have integrated both service learning and mathematical consulting into a single course to promote civic engagement by mathematics majors through professional applications. We outline methods to engage with community partners to create consulting projects for students while integrating discussions of professionalism, practice, ethics, and social justice into the classroom. We provide qualitative evidence that the integration of service learning and consulting empowers mathematics students to make a difference by doing social justice with mathematics.

description: Experiments with vortex beams have shown a surge of interest in controlling cold atoms. Most of the controlling protocols are dominated by circularly polarized light due to its ability to induce vector polarization at atoms, which is impossible for paraxial linearly polarized light. Here we develop a theory for frequency dependent polarizability of an atomic state interacting with a focused linearly polarized vortex beam. The naturally induced spin-orbit coupling in this type of linearly polarized beam produces vector component of the valence polarizability to an atomic state, obeying the total angular momentum conservation of the beam. The theory is employed on $^{87}$Sr$^{+}$ ion to accurately calculate the magic wavelengths for the clock transitions and tune-out wavelengths for the clock states using relativistic coupled-cluster method. The induced vector component in the dynamic polarizability due to the linearly polarized focused vortex beam promotes fictitious magnetic field to the atomic state. We demonstrate that this fictitious magnetic field, depending on the focusing angle and OAM of the beam, improves the flexibility of the coherent heteronuclear spin oscillations in a spin-1 mixture of $^{87}$Rb and $^{23}$Na atoms.

Pereopod 3 slender, with simple dactyl. Pereopods 4, 5 setose, more robust than third, with simple dactyls. Abdominal pleura 1–4 with blunt to rounded pleura, somite 5 with posterolateral tooth, somite 6 with moderate posteroventral tooth. Abdominal somite 6 slender, with ventral groove. Telson narrow, with 2 pairs lateral spines, acute apex, shorter than uropods. Male total length 49 mm, female 68 mm.
 Color in life. Mottled gray.
 Habitat and depth. Sand, mud, bays, estuaries, intertidal zone to 91 m.
 Range. Resurrection Bay, Alaska to San Diego, California. Type locality San Francisco Bay, California.
 Remarks. Butler (1980) treated C. franciscorum as two separate subspecies, C. franciscorum franciscorum and C. franciscorum angustimana Rathbun, 1902. The latter, having a more slender subchela than the former (6–8 times as long as wide versus 4–5.5 times as long as wide), was reported from Kachemak Bay, Alaska to Tillamook Rock, Oregon. It seemed to inhabit deeper, cooler, more saline water than the typical form. There has been no subsequent study to determine if these two purported subspecies are valid.

The closest 12 S sequence match was 95.02 % with Lipolagus ochotensis (Schmidt 1938) family Bathylagidae (NC _ 004591.1). However, <99 % identity match is typically considered too broad for species-level identification (Milan et al. 2020, Kumar et al. 2022). Therefore, conservative identification to order Argentiniformes using morphology follows Bruce C. Mundy (July 2024, personal communication)

description: We present sub-mm photometry for 11 Hyperluminous Infrared Galaxies (HLIRGs) and use radiative transfer models for starbursts and AGN to investigate the IR emission. In all sources both a starburst and AGN are required to explain the IR emission. The mean starburst fraction is 35%, with a range spanning 80% starburst dominated to 80% AGN dominated. In all cases the starburst dominates at rest-frame wavelengths >50 microns, with star formation rates >500 solar masses per year. The trend of increasing AGN fraction with increasing IR luminosity seen in IRAS galaxies peaks in HLIRGs, and is not higher than the fraction seen in bright ULIRGs. The AGN and starburst luminosities correlate, suggesting that a common physical factor, plausibly the dust masses, governs their luminosities. Our results suggest that the HLIRG population is comprised both of ULIRG-like galaxy mergers, and of young galaxies going through their maximal star formation periods whilst harbouring an AGN. The coeval AGN and starburst activity in our sources implies that starburst and AGN activity, and the peak starburst and AGN luminosities, can be coeval in active galaxies generally. When extrapolated to high-z our sources have comparable sub-mm fluxes to sub-mm survey sources. At least some sub-mm survey sources are therefore likely to be comprised of similar galaxy populations to those found in the HLIRG population. It is also plausible from these results that high-z sub-mm sources harbour heavily obscured AGN. The differences in X-ray and sub-mm properties between HLIRGs at z~1 and sub-mm sources at z~3 implies evolution between the two epochs. Either the mean AGN obscuration level is greater at z~3 than at z~1, or the fraction of IR-luminous sources at z~3 that contain AGN is smaller than that at z~1.

description: Among the hybrid metal-organic perovskites for photovoltaic applications FAPbI_3 (FAPI) has the best performance regarding efficiency and the worst regarding stability, even though the reports on its stability are highly contradictory. In particular, since at room temperature the cubic alpha phase, black and with high photovoltaic efficiency, is metastable against the yellow hexagonal delta phase, it is believed that alpha-FAPI spontaneously transform into delta-FAPI within a relatively short time. We performed X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric measurements on loose powder of FAPI, and present the first complete dielectric and anelastic spectra of compacted FAPI samples under various conditions. We found that alpha-FAPI is perfectly stable for at least 100 days, the duration of the experiments, unless extrinsic factors induce its degradation. In our tests, degradation was detected after exposure to humidity, strongly accelerated by grain boundaries and the presence of delta phase, but it was not noticeable on the loose powder kept in air under normal laboratory illumination. These findings have strong implications on the strategies for improving the stability of FAPI without diminishing its photovoltaic efficiency through modifications of its composition.

Although in the standard two-parameter deformation the quantum determinant is not central, in the nonstandard case it is central. We note that the quantum group thus obtained is related to the quantum supergroup $GL_{p,q}(1|1)$ by a transformation.

description: Submarine canyons play pivotal roles in the physical, biological and ecological processes of coastal areas, especially in closed or semi-closed basins as the Mediterranean Sea, influencing the biodiversity and the abundance of the benthic fauna. On February 2013, during the Tyrrhenian Gravity Flows (TyGraF) campaign, samples have been collected along the Gioia Canyon Basin (Italy) with the aim to describe the taxonomical composition and the abundances of the macrobenthic assemblages, filling the gap of knowledge in this area. A total of 93 taxa were identified, and the Annelida was the phylum with the highest number of specimens and most diversified (46 taxa). The polychaetes Sternaspis scutata, Prionospio cirrifera and Monticellina sp., the bivalves Thyasira sp.1 and Saccella commutata and the amphipods belonging to the genera Ampelisca and Harpinia showed the highest densities in the studied area; however, results suggest low values of the abundances of the macrobenthos if compared with those generally reported for other canyons, both inside and outside the Mediterranean Sea. The marine biotic index (AMBI) highlights that the canyon system and the surrounded area were slightly disturbed and characterized by a high percentage of tolerant taxa. This study is the first baseline for future analyses of the macrobenthic communities of this area.

description: The energy resolution of a single photon counting Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) can be degraded by noise coming from the primary low temperature amplifier in the detector's readout system. Until recently, quantum limited amplifiers have been incompatible with these detectors due to dynamic range, power, and bandwidth constraints. However, we show that a kinetic inductance based traveling wave parametric amplifier can be used for this application and reaches the quantum limit. The total system noise for this readout scheme was equal to ~2.1 in units of quanta. For incident photons in the 800 to 1300 nm range, the amplifier increased the average resolving power of the detector from ~6.7 to 9.3 at which point the resolution becomes limited by noise on the pulse height of the signal. Noise measurements suggest that a resolving power of up to 25 is possible if redesigned detectors can remove this additional noise source.
Quantum synchronization and correlations of two qutrits in a non-Markovian bath

description: We investigate quantum synchronization and correlations of two qutrits in one non-Markovian environment using the hierarchy equation method. There is no direct interaction between two qutrits and each qutrit interacts with the same non-Markovian environment. The influence of the temperature of the bath, correlation time, and coupling strength between qutrits and bath on the quantum synchronzation and correlations of two qutrits are studied without the Markovian, Born, and rotating wave approximations. We also discuss the influence of dissipation and dephasing on the synchronization of two qutrits. In the presence of dissipation, the phase locking between two qutrits without any direct interaction can be achieved when each qutrit interacts with the common bath. Two qutrits within one common bath can not be syncrhonized in the purely dephasing case. In addition, the Arnold tongue can be significantly broadened by decreasing the correlation time of two qutrits and bath.

Rhododendron lepidotum across elevation gradients in Langtang and Sagarmatha National Parks of Nepal Himalayas. Plant samples in each site were collected from three elevation bands (ca. 3,000, 4,000, and 5,000 m a.s.l.). In both study sites, all morphological features measured had their highest value at the lowest elevation and vice versa. Vessel density of basal stem increased but diameter and area of xylem vessels, and length of vessel element and fiber tracheids decreased as elevation increased. Similarly, height and the number of cells in uniseriate rays and height, width, area, and density of multiseriate rays also decreased toward the highest elevation. However, anatomical features of the ultimate branch did not show any distinct pattern with elevation. Morphological features showed more plasticity than anatomical features along the elevation gradients. Decreased plant height, individual leaf area, specific leaf area, and the existing trade-off relationship between vessel diameter and density could have supported a wide distribution of R. lepidotum in Nepal Himalayas.

description: This project seeks to understand the United States’ significant involvement in UN peacekeeping operations after the Cold War. While current peacekeeping scholarship suggests that UN peacekeeping operations are undertaken because peace is desirable, the US’s substantial financial contributions and the emphasis on neoliberal democracy within the peacekeeping mandates themselves merit exploration. This paper challenges those assumptions using declassified documents from UN peacekeeping operations in Angola (UNAVEM) and Haiti (UNMIH). These cases demonstrate that in fact, UN peacekeeping operations can serve as a tool for the US to advance its interests in target states. In particular, this opportunity exists when the international system is ideologically unipolar and aligned with the ideology of the US, a condition which characterized the international system following the end of the Cold War. Ultimately, UN peacekeeping missions are not as neutral as their reputation suggests and, in fact, are malleable to the interests of intervening ideological hegemons. This new perspective on UN peacekeeping operations is missing in existing studies of peacekeeping and must be accounted for in future scholarship and policy recommendations.

description: We investigate the dependence of the strength of galaxy clustering on intrinsic luminosity using the Anglo-Australian two degree field galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS). The 2dFGRS is over an order of magnitude larger than previous redshift surveys used to address this issue. We measure the projected two-point correlation function of galaxies in a series of volume-limited samples. The projected correlation function is free from any distortion of the clustering pattern induced by peculiar motions and is well described by a power-law in pair separation over the range 0.1 < r /h Mpc < 10. The clustering of L* galaxies in real space is well fit by a correlation length r0 = 4.9 +/- 0.3 /h Mpc and power-law slope gamma = 1.71 +/- 0.06. The clustering amplitude increases slowly with absolute magnitude for galaxies fainter than M*, but rises more strongly at higher luminosities. At low luminosities, our results agree with measurements from the SSRS2 by Benoist et al. However, we find a weaker dependence of clustering strength on luminosity at the highest luminosities. The correlation function amplitude increases by a factor of 4.0 between $M_{b_{J}} -5\log_{10}h = -18$ and -22.5, and the most luminous galaxies are 3.0 times more strongly clustered than L* galaxies. The power-law slope of the correlation function shows remarkably little variation for samples spanning a factor of 20 in luminosity. Our measurements are in very good agreement with the predictions of the hierarchical galaxy formation models of Benson et al.

description: Ab initio and model calculations demonstrate that the spin motion of electrons transmitted through ferromagnetic films can be analyzed in detail by means of angle- and spin-resolved core-level photoelectron spectroscopy. The spin motion appears as precession of the photoelectron spin polarization around and as relaxation towards the magnetization direction. In a systematic study for ultrathin Fe films on Pd(001) we elucidate its dependence on the Fe film thickness and on the Fe electronic structure. In addition to elastic and inelastic scattering, the effect of band gaps on the spin motion is addressed in particular.

description: We present a short re-evaluation of a recently published time delay estimate for the gravitational lens system HE 1104-1805 with emphasis on important methodological aspects: bias of the statistics, inconsistency of the methods and use of the purposeful selection of data points(or so-called "cleaning") at the preprocessing stage. We show how the inadequate use of simple analysis methods can lead to too strong conclusions. Our analysis shows that there are indications for the time delay in HE 1104-1805 to be between -0.9 and -0.7 years, but still with a large uncertainty.

description: Pd(II)-bis(NHC) complexes (where NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) bearing asymmetrically and symmetrically substituted NHC-ligand have been synthesized via deprotonation of 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazolium salts. The NHC precursors have been achieved via the two step N-alkylation of 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole. The resultant salts were deprotonated with PdCl2 and K2CO3 in dry THF for 2(a–e). The obtained complexes were identified and characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, FT-IR, DART-TOF mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. These new Pd(II)-bis(NHC) complexes were applied as catalyst precursors for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl bromides and chlorides with phenylboronic acid to afford the corresponding products in good yields. This catalytic reaction was evaluated in the presence of KOtBu/toluene. The antibacterial activities of 2(a–e) were investigated against Gram (+)/(−) bacteria using the agar dilution procedure. The antibacterial activities of 2 vary with the nature of the ligands; MIC values of 2(a–e) were determined.
Lumpy Structures in Self-Gravitating Disks

description: Following Toomre & Kalnajs (1991), local models of slightly dissipative self-gravitating disks show how inhomogeneous structures can be maintained over several galaxy rotations. Their basic physical ingredients are self-gravity, dissipation and differential rotation. In order to explore the structures resulting from these processes on the kpc scale, local simulation of self-gravitating disks are performed in this paper in 2D as well as in 3D. The third dimension becomes a priori important as soon as matter clumping causes a tight coupling of the 3D equations of motion. The physically simple and general framework of the model permits to make conclusions beyond the here considered scales. A time dependent affine coordinate system is used, allowing to calculate the gravitational forces via a particle-mesh FFT-method, increasing the performance with respect to previous direct force calculations. Persistent patterns, formed by transient structures, whose intensity and morphological characteristic depend on the dissipation rate are obtained and described. Some of our simulations reveal first signs of mass-size and velocity dispersion-size power-law relations, but a clear scale invariant behavior will require more powerful computer techniques.

Electrodiffusion Models of Axon and Extracellular Space Using the Poisson-Nernst-Planck Equations

Subjects: subject: Neurons and Cognition (q-bio.NC)

description: In studies of the brain and the nervous system, extracellular signals - as measured by local field potentials (LFPs) or electroencephalography (EEG) - are of capital importance, as they allow to simultaneously obtain data from multiple neurons. The exact biophysical basis of these signals is, however, still not fully understood. Most models for the extracellular potential today are based on volume conductor theory, which assumes that the extracellular fluid is electroneutral and that the only contributions to the electric field are given by membrane currents, which can be imposed as boundary conditions in the mathematical model. This neglects a second, possibly important contributor to the extracellular field: the time- and position-dependent concentrations of ions in the intra- and extracellular fluids. In this thesis, a 3D model of a single axon in extracellular fluid is presented based on the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations of electrodiffusion. This fundamental model includes not only the potential, but also the concentrations of all participating ion concentrations in a self-consistent way. This enables us to study the propagation of an action potential (AP) along the axonal membrane based on first principles by means of numerical simulations. By exploiting the cylinder symmetry of this geometry, the problem can be reduced to two dimensions. The numerical solution is implemented in a flexible and efficient way, using the DUNE framework. A suitable mesh generation strategy and a parallelization of the algorithm allow to solve the problem in reasonable time, with a high spatial and temporal resolution. The methods and programming techniques used to deal with the numerical challenges of this multi-scale problem are presented in detail.
