description: Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is an alphaherpesvirus that causes immunosuppression and deadly lymphoma in chickens. Lymphoid organs play a central role in MDV infection in animals. B-cells in the bursa of Fabricius facilitate high levels of MDV replication and contribute to dissemination at early stages of infection. Several studies investigated host responses in bursal tissue of MDV-infected chickens; however, the cellular responses specifically in bursal B-cells has never been investigated. We took advantage of our recently established in vitro infection system to decipher the cellular responses of bursal B-cells to infection with a very virulent MDV strain. Here, we demonstrate that MDV infection extends the survival of bursal B-cells in culture. Microarray analyses revealed that most cytokine/cytokine-receptor-, cell cycle- and apoptosis-associated genes are significantly down-regulated in these cells. Further functional assays validated these strong effects of MDV infections on cell cycle progression and thus, B-cell proliferation. In addition, we confirmed that MDV infections protect B-cells from apoptosis and trigger an accumulation of the autophagy marker Lc3-II. Taken together, our data indicate that MDV-infected bursal B-cells show hallmarks of a senescence-like phenotype, leading to a prolonged B-cell survival. This study provides an in-depth analysis of bursal B-cell responses to MDV infection and important insights into how the virus extends the survival of these cells.

description: The experiment was conducted to determine the effects of feeding pomegranate peel silage with beet top silage, wheat straw, alfalfa hay, barley, cotton seed cake and mineral plus on feed intake and growth performance of Turkey bred sheep in research farm of Agriculture Faculty, Kabul University. Twelve, two and half years old turkey bred sheep with (57.240 ± 5.28) kg average initial body weight were used in a completely randomized design (CRD). Animals were caged individually in 3 groups and 4 replications. Groups included in this experiment were, first group (Control) or T1 pomegranate peel silage (PPS) 0%, second group or T2 (5% PPS) or 106 g and third group or T3 (10% PPS) or 211 g. In addition, animals were fed with 633 g barley, 633 g alfalfa hay, 211 g cotton seed cake, 106 g beet top silage, 4 g mineral plus with the same amount and wheat straw for control group or T1, T2 and T3, 528 g, 422 g and 317 g in dry matter (DM) basis, respectively once in a day at around 8 am. According to statistical analysis, there was a highly significant difference between groups in feed intake and significant difference in growth performance of sheep. According to L.S.D test, it was shown that the second group (T2) was better in feed intake and growth performance compared to other groups. The FCR of T1, T2 and T3 were 12.43, 7.88 and 15.13, respectively and the FCE were 8.05, 12.69 and 6.61 in control group, T2 and T3, respectively. Results of this study suggest that feeding (5%) pomegranate peel silage with wheat straw, alfalfa hay, cotton seed cake, barley, beet top silage and mineral plus affects the feed intake and growth performance of Tukey sheep.

description: The study was carried out to analyse the economics of shifting land from field crops to hog plum cultivation in southern Bangladesh during July to September 2018. A total of 120 farmers were selected by using multistage stratified random sampling technique to collect primary data. Result of the study shows that the per hectare average total cost of hog plum cultivation was Tk. 94,126. The average yield of hog plum was 7.97 t ha-1 . Net return from hog plum cultivation was Tk. 126,921 per hectare. By cultivating hog plum, farmers obtained 56 to 93% higher net return than the other existing cropping patterns. Since the BCR (2.94), NPV (Tk. 2215,000) and IRR (59%) were very high, the land shifting decision towards hog plum cultivation was sensible. However, BCR was very low in the initial stages of hog plum plantation. Initial investment support from public or private sector could facilitate the growth of this cultivation practice.

description: We present work on H alpha spectral line characteristics in PHOENIX stellar model atmospheres and their comparison to microlensing observations. We examine in detail the H alpha equivalent width (EW) and the line shape characteristics for effective temperatures of 4500K< Teff < 5600K where H alpha is a strong spectral feature. We find that H alpha EW in models calculated under the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) is up to 15% smaller than in models without this assumption, non-LTE models (NLTE) and that line shapes vary significantly for the two model types. A comparison with available high quality microlensing data, capable of tracing H alpha absorption across the face of one G5III giant, shows that the LTE model that fits the EW best is about 100K hotter than and the best-fitting NLTE model has a similar Teff as predicted by the spectral type analysis of the observed star but agree within the uncertainties of the observationally derived temperature. Neither LTE nor NLTE models fit the line shape well. We suspect unmodelled chromospheric emission. Line shape diagnostics suggest lower gravities than derived for the star and are unacceptable low in the case of the LTE models. We show that EW alone is insufficient for comparison to stellar model atmospheres, but combined with a new shape parameter we define is promising. In stellar parameter ranges where the H alpha line is strong, a NLTE approach of modeling stellar atmospheres is not only beneficial but mandatory.

description: We develop a description of a new quantum liquid phase of interacting bosons in 2d which possesses relative D-wave two-body correlations and which we call a D-wave Bose Liquid (DBL). The DBL has no broken symmetries, supports gapless boson excitations residing on "Bose surfaces" in momentum space, and exhibits power law correlations with continuously variable exponents. While the DBL can be constructed for bosons in the 2d continuum, the state only respects the point group symmetries of the square lattice. On the lattice the DBL respects all symmetries and does not require a particular filling. But lattice effects allow a second distinct phase, a quasi-local variant which we call a D-wave Local Bose Liquid (DLBL). Remarkably, the DLBL has short-range boson correlations and hence no Bose surfaces, despite sharing gapless excitations and other critical signatures with the DBL. Moreover, both phases are metals with a resistance that vanishes as a power of the temperature. We establish these results by constructing a class of many-particle wavefunctions for the DBL, which are time reversal invariant analogs of Laughlin's quantum Hall wavefunction for bosons at $ν=1/2$. A gauge theory formulation leads to a simple mean field theory, and an N-flavor generalization enables incorporation of gauge field fluctuations to deduce the properties of the DBL/DLBL; various equal time correlation functions are in qualitative accord with the properties inferred from the wavefunctions. We also identify a promising Hamiltonian which might manifest the DBL or DLBL, and perform a variational study comparing to other competing phases. We suggest how the DBL wavefunction can be generalized to describe an itinerant non-Fermi liquid phase of electrons on the square lattice with a no double occupancy constraint, a D-wave metal phase.

description: Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries with immense pressure on agricultural land in rural areas. Mainstream of the rural households depend on either agriculture or its associated activities for their livelihood. However, rural land distribution is highly skewed, majority of them are landless. Under such a land scarce situation, farmers in rural areas have been gradually inclining towards land tenancy. Present study steered to explore the nature and volume of temporary land transaction through tenancy agreement in studied areas and to scrutinize its role in aligning land distribution. In 2017, a total of 166 farmers were randomly selected from two different villages in Jashore district for study. Result of the study administrated that land tenancy practice has been significantly mitigating land disparity among rural farmers. Study also explored that comparatively rich farmers are leaning towards tenant out land and most of these lands tenanted in by the landless and marginal farmers. Consequently, on an average landless farm could significantly increases their cultivable land from 0.01 acre to 0.98 acre compared to the marginal farm 0.31 to 0.73 acres. At the same time, cultivable land of medium farm has decreased as of 3.74 acres to 2.83 acres in studied villages.

description: Wind erosion is known to be a gradual process of soil degradation on arable lands. Poultry manure fertilization is a common practice to improve physical, chemical and biological soil properties, and is thus an essential part to maintain soil fertility. Shortly after incorporation, poultry manure and soil particles are loosely adjacent without any bonding. This supposedly affects the susceptibility of soils to wind erosion and influence the physical and chemical composition of the wind-eroded sediment. Wind tunnel experiments were conducted with three wind speeds (8, 11, 14 m s−1) and four sandy soils, each fertilized with poultry manure in a common rate of 6 t ha−1. Incorporation of manure in the soils changed the particulate organic matter (POM) composition resulting in increased median particle diameters, carbon contents and hydrophobicity. Wind erosion caused a preferred release of manure particles already at wind speeds close above the threshold of 7 m s−1 with the greatest sorting effects in size, shape, and density of the particles. Thus, wind erosion immediately leads to losses of the added organic material. At higher wind speeds the sediment composition rather corresponds to the entire soil or soil-manure mixtures. Depending on the wind speed and total soil loss, potential manure losses between 101 and 854 kg ha−1 were accounted, which are 1.7–14% of the fertilization rate. The results indicate a risk of substantial loss or redistribution of poultry manure by wind erosion immediately after incorporation.

description: The study was conducted to determine the socioeconomic characteristics and constraints of participatory pond fish farmers in Muktagachha upazila (sub-district) under Mymensingh district of Bangladesh. Data were collected by using a structured interview schedule during 01 to 31 October 2018 from a sample of 100 fish farmers (50% of total population) who were selected randomly from a population of 200. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, rank order and coefficient of correlation. The majority of the participatory pond fish farmers (90%) faced medium to low constraints. Among 22 constraints, lack of training on aquaculture was identified as the most critical one, followed by high price of various inputs. The least important constraint of the farmers was crisis of water in dry season. It was revealed that fish farming experience, annual family income and training exposure were significantly associated with the constraints of participatory pond fish farmers. It is therefore recommended that the Department of Fisheries (DOF) and other related organizations can offer credit facilities, proper training and suitable extension services to minimize the constraints of participatory pond fish farmers and meet the increasing demand of fish in Bangladesh.

description: In a neutron lifetime experiment conducted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, protons produced by neutron decay events are confined in a Penning trap. In each run of the experiment, there is a trapping stage of duration $τ$. After the trapping stage, protons are purged from the trap. A proton detector provides incomplete information because it goes dead after detecting the first of any purged protons. Further, there is a dead time $δ$ between the end of the trapping stage in one run and the beginning of the next trapping stage in the next run. Based on the fraction of runs where a proton is detected, I estimate the trapping rate $λ$ by the method of maximum likelihood. I show that the expected value of the maximum likelihood estimate is infinite. To obtain a maximum likelihood estimate with a finite expected value and a well-defined and finite variance, I restrict attention to a subsample of all realizations of the data. This subsample excludes an exceedingly rare realization that yields an infinite-valued estimate of $λ$. I present asymptotically valid formulas for the bias, root-mean-square prediction error, and standard deviation of the maximum likelihood estimate of $λ$ for this subsample. Based on nominal values of $λ$ and the dead time $δ$, I determine the optimal duration of the trapping stage $τ$ by minimizing the root-mean-square prediction error of the estimate.

description: The adhesion and degranulation-promoting adaptor protein (ADAP) serves as a multifunctional scaffold and is involved in the formation of immune signaling complexes. To date, only limited data exist regarding the role of ADAP in pathogen-specific immunity during in vivo infection, and its contribution in phagocyte-mediated antibacterial immunity remains elusive. Here, we show that mice lacking ADAP (ADAPko) are highly susceptible to the infection with the intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) by showing enhanced immunopathology in infected tissues together with increased morbidity, mortality, and excessive infiltration of neutrophils and monocytes. Despite high phagocyte numbers in the spleen and liver, ADAPko mice only inefficiently controlled pathogen growth, hinting at a functional impairment of infection-primed phagocytes in the ADAP-deficient host. Flow cytometric analysis of hallmark pro-inflammatory mediators and unbiased whole genome transcriptional profiling of neutrophils and inflammatory monocytes uncovered broad molecular alterations in the inflammatory program in both phagocyte subsets following their activation in the ADAP-deficient host. Strikingly, ex vivo phagocytosis assay revealed impaired phagocytic capacity of neutrophils derived from Lm-infected ADAPko mice. Together, our data suggest that an alternative priming of phagocytes in ADAP-deficient mice during Lm infection induces marked alterations in the inflammatory profile of neutrophils and inflammatory monocytes that contribute to enhanced immunopathology while limiting their capacity to eliminate the pathogen and to prevent the fatal outcome of the infection.

description: We use the Chandra X-ray Observatory to study the region in the Tycho supernova remnant between the blast wave and the shocked ejecta interface or contact discontinuity. This zone contains all the history of the shock-heated gas and cosmic-ray acceleration in the remnant. We present for the first time evidence for significant spatial variations of the X-ray synchrotron emission in the form of spectral steepening from a photon index of 2.6 right at the blast wave to a value of 3.0 several arcseconds behind. We interpret this result along with the profiles of radio and X-ray intensity using a self-similar hydrodynamical model including cosmic ray backreaction that accounts for the observed ratio of radii between the blast wave and contact discontinuity. Two different assumptions were made about the post-shock magnetic field evolution: one where the magnetic field (amplified at the shock) is simply carried by the plasma flow and remains relatively high in the post-shock region [synchrotron losses limited rim case], and another where the amplified magnetic field is rapidly damped behind the blast wave [magnetic damping case]. Both cases fairly well describe the X-ray data, however both fail to explain the observed radio profile. The projected synchrotron emission leaves little room for the presence of thermal emission from the shocked ambient medium. This can only be explained if the pre-shock ambient medium density in the vicinity of the Tycho supernova remnant is below 0.6 cm-3.

description: The transition region between the North Equatorial Band (NEBn) and North Tropical Zone (NTrZ) in Jupiter is home to convective storms, systems of cyclones and anticyclones and atmospheric waves. A large anticyclone formed in the year 2006 at planetographic latitude 19N and persists since then after a complex dynamic history, being possibly the third longest-lived oval in the planet after Jupiter's Great Red Spot and oval BA. This anticyclone has experienced close interactions with other ovals, merging with another oval in February 2013; it has also experienced color changes, from white to red (September 2013). The oval survived the effects of the closely located North Temperate Belt Disturbance, which occurred in October 2016 and fully covered the oval, rendering it unobservable for a short time. When it became visible again at its expected longitude from its previous longitudinal track, it reappeared as a white large oval keeping this color and the same morphology since 2017 at least until the onset of the new convective disturbance in Jupiter's North Temperate Belt in August 2020. Here we describe the historic evolution of the properties of this oval. We use JunoCam and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images to measure its size and its internal rotation. We also used HST and PlanetCam-UPV/EHU multi-wavelength observations to characterize its color changes and Junocam images to unveil its detailed structure. The color and the altitude-opacity indices show that the oval is higher and has redder clouds than its environment but has lower cloud tops than other large ovals like the GRS, and it is less red than the GRS and oval BA. We show that in spite of the dramatic environmental changes suffered by the oval during all these years, its main characteristics are stable in time and therefore must be related with the atmospheric dynamics below the observable cloud decks.

description: Background: Although breaks are essential to restoring cognitive and psychological conditions for learning, short breaks within school lessons are not established and the specificity of effects has not often been investigated. Therefore, the effects of a physical activity (Study 1) and a mindfulness intervention (Study 2) were investigated. Procedure: By an intervention-control group design, the effects of daily 10-min physical activity (Study 1: N = 162, 4th grade) and mindfulness breaks (Study 2: N = 79, 5th grade) were implemented within regular school lessons over a 2-week time period to research the impact on attention, reading comprehension, and self-esteem. Results: In the physical activity intervention children's attention improved (attention-processing speed: p < .004, eta(2)(p)= .05, attention-performance: p < .025, eta(2)(p) = .03), and in the mindfulness intervention reading comprehension improved (p < .012, eta(2)(p) = .08) compared to the controls. Results further indicated that self-esteem moderated the relationship between groups and attention improvement in study 1. Conclusion: Classroom-based short physical and mindfulness breaks could support attention and reading comprehension, which are known to support overall academic success.

Another result in this paper is that an isotropic surface (hence also Willmore) in $S^4$ of constant $K$ could only be part of a complex curve in $C^2\cong R^4$ or the Veronese 2-sphere in $S^4$. It is conjectured that they are the only examples possible. The main ingredients of the proofs are over-determined systems and isoparametric functions.

description: In the literature on the w{ü}stite/magnetite transformation, there are two distinct values of the enthalpy and entropy terms of the equilibrium between these two oxides. The formalism established previously for the calculation of thermodynamic properties of w{ü}stite is taken as well as the adjustment of the boundary between the respective domains. A first-order transformation of the magnetite is demonstrated at 1 433 K or 1 160{\textdegree}C where the change in the reference enthalpy is -9 990 J.mole-1 at heating, with the corresponding entropy change being-6.89 J.K-1. . mole-1. The approximate determination of enthalpy vs temperature is made for both varieties of magnetite. Two values of the molar heat content are deduced, with which a direct experimental value can be compared.

description: On-device machine learning is becoming a reality thanks to the availability of powerful hardware and model compression techniques. Typically, these models are pretrained on large GPU clusters and have enough parameters to generalise across a wide variety of inputs. In this work, we observe that a much smaller, personalised model can be employed to fit a specific scenario, resulting in both higher accuracy and faster execution. Nevertheless, on-device training is extremely challenging, imposing excessive computational and memory requirements even for flagship smartphones. At the same time, on-device data availability might be limited and samples are most frequently unlabelled. To this end, we introduce PersEPhonEE, a framework that attaches early exits on the model and personalises them on-device. These allow the model to progressively bypass a larger part of the computation as more personalised data become available. Moreover, we introduce an efficient on-device algorithm that trains the early exits in a semi-supervised manner at a fraction of the whole network's personalisation time. Results show that PersEPhonEE boosts accuracy by up to 15.9% while dropping the training cost by up to 2.2x and inference latency by 2.2-3.2x on average for the same accuracy, depending on the availability of labels on-device.

Previous work has explained the magnitude of this force at the $λ$ transition and deep in the superfluid region but not the substantial attractive force immediately below the $λ$-point. Utilizing a simple mean-field calculation renormalized by critical fluctuations we obtain an effective Casimir force that is qualitatively consistent with the scaling function $\vartheta$ obtained by collapse of experimental data.

description: The $g$-factor and static quadrupole moment of the nuclides $^{135}$Pr, $^{105}$Pd, and $^{187}$Au in the wobbling motion are investigated in the particle-rotor model as functions of the total spin $I$. The $g$-factor of $^{105}\mathrm{Pd}$ increases with increasing $I$, due to the negative gyromagnetic ratio of a neutron valence-neutron. This behavior is in contrast to the decreasing $g$-factor of the other two nuclides, $^{135}$Pr and $^{187}$Au, which feature a valence-proton. The static quadrupole moment $Q$ depends on all three expectation values of the total angular momentum. It is smaller in the yrast band than in the wobbling band for the transverse wobblers $^{135}$Pr and $^{105}$Pd, while larger for the longitudinal wobbler $^{187}$Au.

description: We model the nonlinear behaviour of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with repulsive spin-independent interactions and either ferromagnetic or anti-ferromagnetic (polar) spin-dependent interactions, loaded into a one-dimensional optical lattice potential. We show that both types of BECs exhibit dynamical instabilities and may form spatially localized multi-component structures. The localized states of the spinor matter waves take the form of vector gap solitons and self-trapped waves that exist only within gaps of the linear Bloch-wave band-gap spectrum. Of special interest are the nonlinear localized states that do not exhibit a common spatial density profile shared by all condensate components, and consequently cannot be described by the single mode approximation (SMA), frequently employed within the framework of the mean-field treatment. We show that the non-SMA states can exhibits Josephson-like internal oscillations and self-magnetisation, i.e. intrinsic precession of the local spin. Finally, we demonstrate that non-stationary states of a spinor BEC in a lattice exhibit coherent undamped spin-mixing dynamics, and that their controlled conversion into a stationary state can be achieved by the application of an external magnetic field.

description: We extend the topological quantum computation scheme using the Pfaffian quantum Hall state, which has been recently proposed by Das Sarma et al., in a way that might potentially allow for the topologically protected construction of a universal set of quantum gates. We construct, for the first time, a topologically protected Controlled-NOT gate which is entirely based on quasihole braidings of Pfaffian qubits. All single-qubit gates, except for the pi/8 gate, are also explicitly implemented by quasihole braidings. Instead of the pi/8 gate we try to construct a topologically protected Toffoli gate, in terms of the Controlled-phase gate and CNOT or by a braid-group based Controlled-Controlled-Z precursor. We also give a topologically protected realization of the Bravyi-Kitaev two-qubit gate g_3.

description: Esta pesquisa tem como tema a política de financiamento para as Universidades Estaduais Baianas (UEBA), tendo como seu objeto a Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (UEFS), com o objetivo principal de investigar dimensões relevantes à compreensão das demandas por recursos públicos no processo de financiamento da UEFS, no período de 2005 a 2014. Este estudo exploratório-descritivo, preliminarmente, utilizou-se da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental para contextualizar a origem e expansão da atividade universitária; bem como para caracterizar aspectos da política pública para a educação superior na Bahia e no Brasil, principalmente no que diz respeito à oferta e ao financiamento. A partir desses pressupostos teóricos, realizou-se uma análise exploratória – considerando o financiamento como categoria estruturante da qual as demais se originaram – desdobrada em oito categorias (graduação, pós-graduação, pesquisa, extensão, assistência estudantil, corpo docente, corpo técnico-administrativo e infraestrutura), utilizando perspectivas de natureza monetária e não monetária para identificar dimensões relevantes à compreensão das demandas por recursos públicos no processo de financiamento da UEFS, no período de 2005 a 2014. Os resultados obtidos sinalizam um diálogo com o paradigma multidimensional da gestão educacional, abordado por Sander (1995), e identificam três dimensões relevantes no período pesquisado: a oferta de atividades universitárias (dimensão pedagógica); a política de pessoal (dimensão política), no que se refere à qualificação docente, à valorização do corpo técnico-administrativo e à assistência estudantil; e a infraestrutura (dimensão econômica), no que se refere à manutenção e expansão dos investimentos em infraestrutura da instituição. Como produto, esta pesquisa apresenta uma Nota Técnica, de caráter político-normativo, destacando as dimensões relevantes no processo de financiamento da instituição, visando contribuir e subsidiar a discussão, implementação e aperfeiçoamento de uma política de financiamento para as UEBA, que garanta a sustentabilidade das atividades de ensino, pesquisa e extensão do sistema estadual de educação superior, diante de um cenário vivenciado de dificuldades e limitações financeiras.

description: A magnon Bose-Einstein condensate in superfluid $^3$He is a fine instrument for studying the surrounding macroscopic quantum system. At zero temperature, the BEC is subject to a few, distinct forms of decay into other collective excitations, owing to momentum and energy conservation in a quantum vacuum. We study the vortex-Higgs mechanism: the vortices relax the requirement for momentum conservation, allowing the optical magnons of the BEC to transform into light Higgs quasiparticles. This observation expands the spectrum of possible interactions between magnetic quasiparticles in $^3$He-B, opens pathways for hunting down elusive phenomena such as the Kelvin wave cascade or bound Majorana fermions, and lays groundwork for building magnon-based quantum devices.

description: In the present work a general frame for the scattering theory of local, relativistic dipole quantum fields is presented and some models of interacting dipole fields are considered, i.e. local, relativistic quantum fields with indefinite metric which asymptotically do not converge to free fields, but to free dipole fields. Also, we give explicit formulae for the (nontrivial) scattering matrix of dipole in- and out- fields for these models. Furthermore we show how related dipole degrees of freedom occur in the perturbation theory of certain two dimensional models, e.g. massive sine-Gordon or sinh-Gordon models.

description: Instance segmentation is of great importance for many biological applications, such as study of neural cell interactions, plant phenotyping, and quantitatively measuring how cells react to drug treatment. In this paper, we propose a novel box-based instance segmentation method. Box-based instance segmentation methods capture objects via bounding boxes and then perform individual segmentation within each bounding box region. However, existing methods can hardly differentiate the target from its neighboring objects within the same bounding box region due to their similar textures and low-contrast boundaries. To deal with this problem, in this paper, we propose an object-guided instance segmentation method. Our method first detects the center points of the objects, from which the bounding box parameters are then predicted. To perform segmentation, an object-guided coarse-to-fine segmentation branch is built along with the detection branch. The segmentation branch reuses the object features as guidance to separate target object from the neighboring ones within the same bounding box region. To further improve the segmentation quality, we design an auxiliary feature refinement module that densely samples and refines point-wise features in the boundary regions. Experimental results on three biological image datasets demonstrate the advantages of our method. The code will be available at https://github.com/yijingru/ObjGuided-Instance-Segmentation.
