description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.We analyse the potential of intensive exploitation to have caused evolutionary changes in the age and length at maturation in North Sea plaice Pleuronectes platessa. Such evolutionary change in the onset of maturation is expected given that fishing mortality is more than four times higher than natural mortality. In order to disentangle phenotypic plasticity from evolutionary change, we employ the probabilistic reaction-norm approach. This technique allows us to estimate the probabilities of maturing at each relevant age and size, and to disentangle the plasticity in age and size at maturation that results from changes in growth rates from evolutionary changes in maturation propensities themselves. This recently developed method is here applied to females of 41 cohorts (1955-1995) of North Sea plaice. We focus on trends in fishing mortality, in growth rates, and in the probabilities of maturing, and test the hypothesis that the decrease in age and length at maturation is partly caused by fisheries-induced adaptive change. We find that the reaction norm for age and length at maturation has indeed significantly shifted towards younger age and smaller length. The reaction-norm analysis suggests a picture in which short-term fluctuations originating from plastic responses are superimposed on a persistent long-term trend resulting from genetic responses.

description: In this paper, we present a study to measure the differences between the atmospheric neutrino and anti-neutrino oscillations in the Iron-Calorimeter detector at the India-based Neutrino Observatory experiment. Charged Current $ν_μ$ and $\overlineν_μ$ interactions with the detector under the influence of earth matter effect have been simulated for ten years of exposure. The observed $ν_μ$ and $\overlineν_μ$ events spectrum are separately binned into direction and energy bins, and a $χ^{2}$ is minimised with respect to each bin to extract the oscillation parameters for $ν_μ$ and $\overlineν_μ$ separately. We then present the ICAL sensitivity to confirm a non-zero value of the difference in atmospheric mass squared of neutrino and anti-neutrino i.e. $|Δm^{2}_{32}|-|Δ\overline{m^{2}}_{32}|$.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.An algorithm is proposed for estimating age composition and abundance of cod spawning for the first time and repeat spawners in each calendar year. A fine structure of the Northeast Arctic cod spawning population was studied for a fairly long historical period from 1949 to 1997. It was shown that cod could be divided into at least two groups of spawners, early- and late-maturing individuals, which long-term abundance dynamics were different. Abundance of late-maturing cod displayed a marked decreasing trend over the entire time series, while the abundance of early-maturing cod has been steadily increasing since the early 1960’s. Structural change in the mature part of the population took place against the background of the long-term overfishing. A hypothesis is proposed about inter- and intra-annual qualitative heterogeneity of the spawners. Parameters of deterministic basis of the recruitment process (a sum of two Ricker’s stock-recruitment equations with additive independent variables and biomass of early- and late-maturing cod) vary in time. Contribution of early- and late- maturing fish as well as water temperature contribution to the recruitment to the commercial cod in 1976-1997 is shown.

description: We study the behaviour of modules $M$ that fit into a short exact sequence $0\to M\to C\to M\to 0$, where $C$ belongs to a class of modules $\mathcal C$, the so-called $\mathcal C$-periodic modules. We find a rather general framework to improve and generalize some well-known results of Benson and Goodearl and Simson. In the second part we will combine techniques of hereditary cotorsion pairs and presentation of direct limits, to conclude, among other applications, that if $M$ is any module and $C$ is cotorsion, then $M$ will be also cotorsion. This will lead to some meaningful consequences in the category $\textrm{Ch}(R)$ of unbounded chain complexes and in Gorenstein homological algebra. For example we show that every acyclic complex of cotorsion modules has cotorsion cycles, and more generally, every map $F\to C$ where $C$ is a complex of cotorsion modules and $F$ is an acyclic complex of flat cycles, is null-homotopic. In other words, every complex of cotorsion modules is dg-cotorsion.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fishing is very likely to create selective pressures inducing adaptive changes in the life histories of harvested stocks. Using field data and adequate statistical methods, such alterations can be demonstrated. However, in order to understand underlying causes and to evaluate alternative management practices, past selective pressures must be quantified and predictions of future evolutionary changes are needed. In this respect, modelling the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of exploited stocks is a critical challenge. To illustrate this point, we studied the evolution of age and size at maturation induced by fishing using adaptive dynamics theory – a framework that allows modelling long-term evolution of quantitative traits under density- and frequency-dependent selection. Specifically, we investigated the evolutionary implications of alternative management policies. As a novel contribution to the discussion of fisheries-induced adaptive change, we showed that frequency-dependent selection, arising from fishing mortality under some particular management policies, can not only reduce the age and size at maturation and thus stock biomass, but can ultimately even induce the extinction of entire stocks. The potential for such phenomena of ‘evolutionary suicide’ is overlooked in models that do not incorporate life history evolution. Our findings thus highlight the importance of considering evolutionary trends in the management of exploited stocks.

description: The purpose of this investigation was to determine if being the female head of a single-parent household was associated with increased trait anxiety. Ninety-four female nurses completed the Trait portion of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory developed by Spielberger, Gorsuch, and Lushene (1964) and a demographic inventory. The demographic inventory provided the information regarding marital status and presence or absence of children needed to delineate the sample into four groups: Group I (n=31) married females with dependent children in the home; Group II (n=10) married females with no dependent children in the home; Group III (n=26) single, separated or divorced females with dependent children in the home; Group IV (n=27) single, separated or divorced females with no dependent children in the home. A one-way analysis of variance indicated no significant differences in the groups as designated by marital status and presence or absence of children and trait anxiety.

description: Traditional Cemeteries are known for their groomed, grass lawns with headstones denoting rows of graves. These environments often use vast swaths of land and serve as biological monocultures with one purpose—to hold people who have passed. Spaces like these are only activated when a burial takes place or when friends and family visit the deceased. Because of this, cemeteries are often placed at the edges of society and all but forgotten during everyday life. This distance augments society’s negative association with death. A cemetery complex will be the focus of this thesis. Consisting of ceremonial halls, mortuary, crematorium, and a refectory for repast, the complex will promote sustainable interment practices, serving as a model for future cemetery sites. The grounds will offer a variety of landscape typologies that accommodate the needs of natural burial, while providing programming for a waterfront park throughout the year. The location for this thesis will be on the urban edge of Part Covington in Baltimore, remediating a brownfield site and giving it back to the community, instilling values of environmental stewardship.

description: Baseline information is needed on migrations through US Mid-Atlantic Bight shelf waters in advance of offshore wind development. Acoustically-tagged Atlantic sturgeon and striped bass were detected from 2016-2019 in an array of 20 acoustic telemetry receivers centered on the Maryland Wind Energy Area and extending 10-50 km offshore. Both species were transient (mean residency < 3 days), but migration patterns differed seasonally and were related to depth and temperature. Generalized additive models showed that Atlantic sturgeon occur at inshore sites during spring while striped bass shifted toward the outer shelf as inshore waters cooled in winter. The movement of hundreds of tagged striped bass and sturgeon, originating from shelf waters from Maine to South Carolina suggests that the Wind Energy Area is part of a multi-species Atlantic coastal flyway, particularly during spring, fall, and winter periods. Thus, summer presents a potential window for wind tower construction.

description: The recent identification of interstellar molecules HCCCHCCC and HCCCCS in TMC-1 has prompted an ab initio investigation of these isomers. The isomers of HCCCHCCC have been studied previously but not so much HCCCCS. In this paper we carry out high-level CCSD(T) calculations to characterise the lowest eleven isomers of HCCCCS. We also apply complete basis set extrapolation including core correlation and relativistic effects to further investigate the key isomers and provide high-precision rotational constants which will hopefully aid astronomers in their assignments.

description: This protocol is for a systematic scoping review of available literature reporting on schema therapy (ST) for adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Knowing that progress in adult ASD intervention research seems to be lacking according to a review study focusing on support systems, services, and intervention programs for adults with ASD (Shattuck et al., 2020), and supposing limited available data on ST in adults with ASD, we will opt for performing a scoping review (Arksey & O’Malley, 2005; Daudt et al., 2013). A scoping review method will be selected as it aims to scope a body of literature and to identify knowledge gaps for further reseacrh (Munn et al., 2018; Nyanchoka et al., 2019). Based on Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) framework for scoping studies, we will follow the guidelines of the the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) (Tricco et al., 2018).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fishery management regimes encourage selective harvest of the larger and faster growing members of a population, yet ignore the potential for evolutionary change in harvestable biomass and other traits. To empirically model this process, we subjected six replicate populations of a marine fish (Menidia menidia) to large, small, or random size-selective harvest of adults over five generations. Harvested biomass evolved rapidly in directions counter to the size-dependent force of fishing mortality. Large-size-harvested populations initially produced the largest catch but quickly evolved a lower exploitable biomass than controls. Small-size-harvested populations did the reverse. By generation four, the yield from small-size-harvested lines was two-fold higher than in large-size-harvested lines. These shifts were caused by selection of genotypes with slower or faster rates of growth, not changes in survival. Change in growth among lines was positively correlated with change in intrinsic rates of energy acquisition: i.e., faster growing lines evolved higher food consumption rates. Our results illustrate the need to account for evolutionary dynamics in devising plans for long-term sustainable harvests.

description: We present a solution for the ultraviolet (UV) - submillimeter (submm) interstellar radiation fields (ISRFs) of the Milky Way, derived from modelling COBE, IRAS and Planck maps of the all-sky emission in the near-, mid-, far-infrared and submm.The analysis uses the axisymmetric radiative transfer (RT) model that we have previously implemented to model the panchromatic spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of star forming galaxies in the nearby universe, but with a new methodology allowing for optimisation of the radial and vertical geometry of stellar emissivity and dust opacity, as deduced from the highly resolved emission seen from the vantage point of the Sun. As such, this is the first self-consistent model of the broad-band continuum emission from the Milky Way. In this paper, we present model predictions for the spatially integrated SED of the Milky Way as seen from the Sun, showing good agreement with the data, and give a detailed description of the solutions for the distribution of ISRFs, as well as their physical origin, throughout the volume of the galaxy. We explore how the spatial and spectral distribution of our new predictions for the ISRF in the Milky Way affects the amplitude and spectral distribution of the gamma-rays produced via Inverse Compton scattering for cosmic ray electrons situated at different positions in the galaxy, as well as the attenuation of the gamma-rays due to interactions of the gamma-ray photons with photons of the ISRF. We also compare and contrast our solutions for the ISRF with those incorporated in the GALPROP package used for modelling the high energy emission from cosmic rays in the Milky Way.

Management modifications decrease BRD in some cattle populations; however, management-related risk factors for BRD in nursing calves are poorly characterized, making it difficult to develop evidence-based control measures.

description: The importance of post-CCSD(T) corrections as high as CCSDTQ56 for ground-state spectroscopic constants (De, ωe, ωexe, and αe) has been surveyed for a sample of two dozen mostly heavy-atom diatomics spanning a broad range of static correlation strength. While CCSD(T) is known to be an unusually felicitous ‘Pauling point’ between accuracy and computational cost, performance leaves something to be desired for molecules with strong static correlation. We find CCSDT(Q)Λ to be the next ‘sweet spot’ up, of comparable or superior quality to the much more expensive CCSDTQ. A similar comparison applies to CCSDTQ(5)Λ vs. CCSDTQ5, while CCSDTQ5(6)Λ is essentially indistinguishable from CCSDTQ56. A composite of CCSD(T)-X2C/ACV5Z-X2C with [CCSDT(Q)Λ – CCSD(T)]/cc-pVTZ or even cc-pVDZ basis sets appears highly effective for computational vibrational spectroscopy. Unlike CCSDT(Q) which breaks down for the ozone vibrational frequencies, CCSDT(Q)Λ handles them gracefully.

description: Agile development processes and especially Scrum are changing the state of the practice in software development. Many companies in the classical IT sector have adopted them to successfully tackle various challenges from the rapidly changing environments and increasingly complex software systems. Companies developing software for embedded or cyber-physical systems, however, are still hesitant to adopt such processes. Despite successful applications of Scrum and other agile methods for cyber-physical systems, there is still no complete process that maps their specific challenges to practices in Scrum. We propose to fill this gap by treating all design artefacts in such a development in the same way: In software development, the final design is already the product, in hardware and mechanics it is the starting point of production. We sketch the Scrum extension Scrum CPS by showing how Scrum could be used to develop all design artefacts for a cyber physical system. Hardware and mechanical parts that might not be available yet are simulated. With this approach, we can directly and iteratively build the final software and produce detailed models for the hardware and mechanics production in parallel. We plan to further detail Scrum CPS and apply it first in a series of student projects to gather more experience before testing it in an industrial case study.

description: The fundamental vibrational frequencies of the isolated OCAs− and SCAs− ions, as well as their heavier antimony analogues, are reported for the first time. A thorough analysis of basis set convergence of the bond lengths and harmonic vibrational frequencies, as well as the examination of anharmonic corrections, is conducted using the MP2 and CCSD(T) ab initio methods with robust basis sets for the OCPn− and SCPn− anions moving down the pnictogen series from Pn = N to Sb. Second-order vibrational perturbation theory (VPT2) and vibrational configuration interaction (VCI) theory are used to compute the fundamental vibrational frequencies of each triatomic anion approaching the MP2 and CCSD(T) complete basis set (CBS) limits. While fundamental vibrational frequencies have been reported for OCN− and SCN− in the gas phase, only experimental vibrational frequencies of the salts for the heavier pnictogen analogues (P and As) have been reported. Experimental Raman vibrational frequencies for OCAs− and SCAs− salts were found to be coincidentally in good agreement with the CCSD(T) VCI frequencies near the CBS limit, differing by at most 13 cm−1 from the former and 9 cm−1 from the latter. These modest differences are likely due to the presence of counter-ions and other environmental effects in the solid state, and the overall agreement between the salts and gas-phase frequencies is quite similar to that observed for the OCP− and SCP− ions.

description: Nafion is the current standard by which PEM fuel cell membranes are measured. It is a PFSA (perfluoro sulfonic acid) polymer that is used to conduct ions such as protons. This material is only useful at low temperature (less than 100 degrees celsius) and high relative humidity due to protons being transported by water which is not practical for a fuel cell. Research is currently being done to create a new membrane that does not contain PFSA, instead membranes are made using heteropolyacids (HPAs). HPAs are useful because they are strong inorganic acids that have a high water of hydration, meaning a humidifier may not be necessary in a fuel cell. Another positive aspect of HPAs is the ability of protons to hop from HPA molecule to HPA molecule. One limitation of HPAs is their solubility in water. This research is focused on immobilizing the HPA by functionalizing it with an easily polymerizable group so that it becomes a monomer that can be used to make copolymers. Two HPA systems are being presented here, HPA-ethylene and HPA-butyl acyrlate. It is possible that these systems will be more effective than PFSA membranes.

description: We show that nonlinear imaging is possible in periodic waveguide configurations provided that we use two different segments of nonlinear media with opposite signs of the Kerr nonlinearity with, in general, no other restriction about their magnitudes. The second medium is used to implement effective "reverse propagation". A main ingredient in achieving nonlinear imaging is the control of the sign and the amplitude of the coupling coefficient. We numerically test our results in one and two dimensional square arrangement of waveguides.

description: Typical preconditioning guidelines recommend that calves be vaccinated against respiratory and other pathogens at or near weaning (~205 days) because of the historical belief that maternal antibodies from colostrum ingested by the neonatal calf may interfere with the immune response to vaccination. However, recent research investigating vaccination during the presence of maternal antibodies suggests that neonatal calves vaccinated with a modified-live virus (MLV) vaccine are protected from subsequent BVDV challenge and immature calves vaccinated at 67 days of age develop both an initial and anamnestic antibody response. Our objective was to determine the effects of administration of a pentavalent MLV respiratory vaccine to calves at approximately 60 days of age versus at a traditional vaccination regimen age (near weaning) on health, growth performance, and BVDV type la-specific antibody titers and T cell activation.

description: A new solar material features silicon nanocrystals (nc-Si) within an amorphous silicon (a-Si) matrix. The efficiency with which photons are absorbed and converted to electric current depends on the size, orientation, volume fraction, and interface properties of nc-Si. This investigation has resulted in the development of a device level simulator which predicts quantum efficiency and voltage-current character for nc-Si/a-Si systems. These performance measures are calculated as functions of input photon energy. A number of different interactions were combined to completely characterize the device, including optical scattering and absorption, creation of excitons and charge carriers, electrostatic fields, and drift/diffusion of charge carriers.

description: We present results of a theoretical study of photocurrents in the Weyl semimetals belonging to the gyrotropic symmetry classes. We show that, in weakly gyrotropic symmetry classes C$_{nv}$ ($n = 3,4,6$), the circular photocurrent transverse to the incidence direction appears only with account, in the electron effective Hamiltonian, for both linear and quadratic or cubic in quasi-momentum spin-dependent terms as well as a spin-independent term resulting in the tilt of the cone dispersion. A polarization-independent magneto-induced photocurrent is predicted which is also allowed in gyrotropic systems only. For crystals of the C$_{2v}$ symmetry, we consider a microscopic mechanism of the photocurrent in a quantized magnetic field which is generated under direct optical transitions between the ground and the first excited magnetic subbands. It is shown that this current becomes nonzero with allowance for anisotropic tilt of the dispersion cones.

description: Parasite resistance, a widespread problem in small ruminants, is starting to appear with increased frequency in beef cattle populations. Reports of parasite resistance in cattle have surfaced in Australia, New Zealand, northern Europe, South America, and the United States. The objectives of this study were to determine whether parasite resistance to commonly used anthelmintics is present in Iowa cow/calf operations, attempt to identify factors that contribute to development of parasite resistance, and utilize qualitative PCR testing to determine which genera of parasites are associated with resistance.

description: Molecules involving tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) and transition or rare earth compounds have been found to exhibit magnetic properties at low temperature. One compound, however, with V and TCNE has been found to have an ordering temperature above 300 K. A compound with Fe and TCNE has shown to exhibit 32% more magnetization in molecules than iron metal. Molecular magnet compounds can be dissolved in a solvent, added to a matrix such as a polymer, and do not require metallurgical processing. Since magnetism is a very basic science, application possibilities for molecular magnets are broad, stretching from nanotechnology to high density information storage.

description: We revisit the mathematical models for wireless network jamming introduced by Commander et al.: we first point out the strong connections with classical wireless network design and then we propose a new model based on the explicit use of signal-to-interference quantities. Moreover, to address the intrinsic uncertain nature of the jamming problem and tackle the peculiar right-hand-side (RHS) uncertainty of the problem, we propose an original robust cutting-plane algorithm drawing inspiration from Multiband Robust Optimization. Finally, we assess the performance of the proposed cutting plane algorithm by experiments on realistic network instances.

description: Phosphorus is an element essential to sustaining life, and its compounds are widely involved in the biogeochemical cycles on Earth. Although a handful of phosphorus-bearing species, e.g. PO, have thus far been detected in diatomic form in circumstellar envelopes, their formation processes are still poorly understood. In this study, we examine the structure and spectroscopy of the [Si, O, P] system. Based on high-level ab initio electronic structure calculations with the MRCI + Q and CCSD(T) methods, four isomers could be formed and the most stable form predicted to be bent at all theoretical levels. The doublet and quartet potential energy surfaces (PESs) of P(2D)/P(4S) + SiO(1Σ) reactions are explored, and the spectroscopic parameters of the key isomers involved in the reaction are calculated. The present study highlights the possibility of PO formation via photodissociation of bent-SiOP. The results are expected to aid in the spectroscopic detection of these triatomic phosphorous-bearing species and provide insights into similar reactions of isoelectronic systems.
On the Expanding Phase of a Singular Bounce and Intermediate Inflation: The Modified Gravity Description

description: We demonstrate that the intermediate inflation scenario, is a singular inflation cosmology, with the singularity at the origin $t=0$ being a pressure and energy density singularity and particularly a Type III singularity. Also, we show that the expanding phase of a singular bounce, can be identical to the intermediate inflation scenario, if the singular bounce has a Type III singularity at the origin. For the intermediate inflation scenario we examine the cosmological implications on the power spectrum in the context of various forms of modified gravity. Particularly we calculate the power spectrum in the context of $F(R)$, $F(G)$ Gauss-Bonnet gravity and also for $F(T)$ gravity and we discuss the viability of each scenario by comparing the resulting spectral index with the latest observational data.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The study of phenotypic characteristics (vertebral column) gives us the valuable data for comprehension of population structure and genetic changes in fish. M. Iwata has studied in details the variability of vertebral column characters in 42 samples of the walleye pollock collected from the Pacific Ocean, the Okhotsk Sea and the Sea of Japan in 1968–1970. M. Iwata has found from 17 to 20 vertebrae in the abdominal section and from 29 to 33 in the caudal section of vertebral column in the walleye pollock specimens. We have col-lected more than 60 samples of walleye pollock from the trawls, Danish seines and set nets catches in 1999–2001 at different commercial fishing areas. It was found that after 30 years of intensive walleye fishing the average number of vertebrae in the caudal section significantly increased. In our samples we have never had a chance to see a specimen with 29 vertebrae in the abdominal section. We have supposed that the short-tail fishes have disappeared under the pressure of selective trawl fishing. In support of this hypothesis, a special series of original experiments has been prepared and worked out in a flow pool on the board of a fishing vessel with the flow velocity equal to the speed of trawling. As a result, each sample of the walleye pollock was separated into two parts differing in their swimming performance. After studying the vertebral column structure in these two groups we have determined that the number of vertebrae in the caudal section was less for fish unable to resist the flow (trawling). Hence, the structure of walleye pollock vertebral column may be considered as a mark of population differences under the influence of fishing process. The re-sults of our investigations have proved a hypothesis of selective fishing caused elimination of the short-tail fishes changing the structure of the walleye pollock population as a whole.

description: Biosecurity practices are designed to prevent the spread of disease, yet implementation of those practices varies greatly among animal owners and veterinarians. Veterinarians working in food animal and mixed animal practices have a role in the design and implementation of biosecurity protocols for their clients and are responsible for minimizing their potential to act as a disease "fomite" as they move between operations. The objective of this project was to survey Midwestern veterinary practitioners to determine their current implementation of biosecurity and infection control practices.
