description: Peers play a crucial role in shaping adolescents’ attitudes and behaviors in schools. We disentangle two mechanisms of peer influence with different consequences for adolescents’ attitudes and behaviors: friendship influence and normative pressure. Friendship influence refers to the impact of friends’ attitudes and behaviors, while normative pressure stems from the influence of peers from the same social group, such as gender group. We adopt a network perspective, recognizing that peer influence can be shaped by relationships and dynamics among peers. We will investigate friendship influence and normative pressure based on gender and ethnic groups in shaping alcohol consumption, prejudice, and sport activity, using a sample of German school grades (N = 2928; 29 school grades). We will use stochastic actor-oriented modeling to untangle the complex relationship between friendship influence and normative pressure and to assess the combined effects of both mechanisms on adolescents’ attitudes and behaviors.

description: We develop first-principles theory of relativistic fluid turbulence at high Reynolds and Péclet numbers. We follow an exact approach pioneered by Onsager, which we explain as a non-perturbative application of the principle of renormalization-group invariance. We obtain results very similar to those for non-relativistic turbulence, with hydrodynamic fields in the inertial-range described as distributional or "coarse-grained" solutions of the relativistic Euler equations. These solutions do not, however, satisfy the naive conservation-laws of smooth Euler solutions but are afflicted with dissipative anomalies in the balance equations of internal energy and entropy. The anomalies are shown to be possible by exactly two mechanisms, local cascade and pressure-work defect. We derive "4/5th-law"-type expressions for the anomalies, which allow us to characterize the singularities (structure-function scaling exponents) required for their non-vanishing. We also investigate the Lorentz covariance of the inertial-range fluxes, which we find is broken by our coarse-graining regularization but which is restored in the limit that the regularization is removed, similar to relativistic lattice quantum field theory. In the formal limit as speed of light goes to infinity, we recover the results of previous non-relativistic theory. In particular, anomalous heat input to relativistic internal energy coincides in that limit with anomalous dissipation of non-relativistic kinetic energy.

description: Tribasic zinc sulfate (TBZ) is insoluble in water and chemically less active than zinc sulfate, making it more suitable to be used in pig diet. To investigate the effects of TBZ on the growth performance, gut morphology, and zinc transporter expression levels, we performed a single-factor experiment and 168 pigs were allocated to three groups with seven pens per treatment. Pigs were either fed a basal diet without zinc supplementation (control group), or a basal diet supplemented with TBZ at 100 mg/kg diet (LTBZ group) or 1000 mg/kg diet (HTBZ group). We found that daily weight gain and feed intake were higher in the LTBZ group than in the HTBZ and control groups. The pigs in the LTBZ group had a higher villus height and villus height/crypt depth ratio when compared with other pigs. Moreover, the pigs in the LTBZ group exhibited higher mRNA expression levels of solute carrier family 39 and lower expression levels of solute carrier family 30 than those fed the HTBZ-supplemented diet. Together, these results indicate that TBZ may potentially be used as a dietary zinc source for young growing pigs and that dietary supplementation with LTBZ benefits growth performance and gut morphology.
So You Want to Publicly Shame: The Ethics of Public Shaming
Creators: name: Lim, James
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: Public shaming is a powerful and widespread phenomenon. People use public shaming to punish racist behaviour, sexual misconduct, academic misconduct, dishonesty, inconsiderate public behaviour, violations of public health norms, and so on. But public shaming also inflicts severe harm on targets and their intimate relations, like their families and friends. In recent years, commentators and some philosophers have raised concerns regarding a number of ethical issues, like proportionality, standards of proof, and whether public shaming constitutes a form of objectionable vigilantism. In my thesis, "The Ethics of Public Shaming," I address some of these issues by developing an account of public shaming, what justifies it, and the rights and duties held by various individuals with respect to public shaming. Because of the harm imposed by public shaming, human beings have rights against being publicly shamed. This is a key claim I defend in this project. Nevertheless, I also argue that some cases of public shaming can be justified by the contributors' need to defend certain vital interests. These interests include important constituents of wellbeing, like personal safety and autonomy, and contributors' interests in maintaining their moral standing within their communities - the subjective perception of their moral value within those communities. Public shaming is sometimes necessary to enforce norms which in turn safeguard these vital interests. As a result, public shaming can be justified, because it can be a form of collective self or other-defence. Drawing upon existing frameworks of justified self-defence, I go on to examine the conditions under which contributions to public shaming can be considered necessary, proportionate, and establish the relevant stakes for agents deliberating under conditions of uncertainty.

description: Kes 79 (G33.6+0.1) is an aspherical thermal composite supernova remnant (SNR) observed across the electromagnetic spectrum and showing an unusual highly-structured morphology, in addition to harboring a central compact object (CCO). Using the CO J=1-0, J=2-1, and J=3-2 data, we provide the first direct evidence and new morphological evidence to support the physical interaction between the SNR and the molecular cloud at $V_LSR\sim 105$ km s$^{-1}$. We revisit the 380 ks XMM-Newton observations and perform a dedicated spatially resolved X-ray spectroscopic study with careful background subtraction. The overall X-ray-emitting gas is characterized by an under-ionized ($τ_c \sim 6\times 10^{11}$ cm^${-3}$) cool ($kT_c \approx 0.20$ keV) plasma with solar abundances, plus an under-ionized ($τ_h\sim 8\times 10^{10}$ cm$^{-3}$) hot ($kT_h\approx 0.80$ keV) plasma with elevated Ne, Mg, Si, S and Ar abundances. Kes 79 appears to have a double-hemisphere morphology viewed along the symmetric axis. Projection effect can explain the multiple shell structures and the thermal composite morphology. The X-ray filaments, spatially correlated with the 24 um IR filaments, are suggested to be due to the SNR shock interaction with dense gas, while the halo forms from SNR breaking out into a tenuous medium. The high-velocity, hot ($kT_h\sim 1.4$--1.6 keV) ejecta patch with high metal abundances, together with the non-uniform metal distribution across the SNR, indicating an asymmetric SN explosion of Kes 79. We refine the Sedov age to 4.4--6.7 kyr and the mean shock velocity to 730 km s$^{-1}$. Our multi-wavelength study suggests a progenitor mass of $\sim 15$--20 solar masses for the core-collapse explosion that formed Kes 79 and its CCO, PSR J1852+0040.

description: The current study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of high concentration diet (HCD) supplementation with Dimethyl Silicone Oil (DSO) to prevent frothy rumen bloat in goats. The treatments were control group (group C, feeding HCD) and test group (group T, feeding HCD supplemented with 0.1%DSO). The results showed that compared with the group C, the ruminal pH value, Microbial Crude Protein content of group T was extremely significantly higher (p < 0.01), the levels of acetic acid and propionic acid were significantly (p < 0.05) and extremely significantly (p < 0.01) lower in group T, respectively. The foam production and foam strength of the rumen fluid in the group T was extremely significantly lower (p < 0.01), the viscosity was extremely significantly (p < 0.01) higher than those of group C. The total gastrointestinal apparent digestibility of various nutrients, the rumen microbial relative abundance at the phylum level and genus level were not significantly different (p > 0.05). The results indicated that the supplementation of 0.1% DSO in HCD can significantly eliminate foam of the rumen fluid, and didn’t disturb the ruminal microorganisms, no negatively affect on digestibility of nutrients in goats, thereby has the application prospect of preventing frothy rumen bloat. The gas produced by rumen fermentation is wrapped in foam and cannot be discharged is the root cause of frothy bloat induced by a high concentration diet. In the present study, the feasibility of dietary supplementation with Dimethyl Silicone Oil (DSO) to prevent frothy bloat was preliminarily evaluated. The results indicated that DSO can significantly eliminate foam of the rumen fluid, and has not negatively effect on the ruminal microorganisms and the digestibility of nutrients in goats, thereby has the application prospect of preventing frothy bloat.

description: The regulatory mechanisms governing metabolism of fatty acids in cow mammary gland are crucial for establishing relationships between milk quality and fatty acid content. Both, microRNAs (miRNAs) and protein-coding genes are important factors involved in the regulation of milk fat synthesis. In this study, high-throughput sequencing of miRNAs and mRNAs in bovine mammary gland tissue was performed during peak lactation (3 samples) and late lactation (3 samples) periods to characterize expression profiles. Differential expression (DE) analyses of miRNA and mRNA and miRNA–mRNA regulatory pathway screening were performed. Two-hundred eighty regulatory miRNA–mRNA pairs were identified, including the miR-33a-lipid phosphate phosphatase-related protein type 4 (LPPR4) pathway. Bioinformatics prediction, dual-luciferase reporter system detection, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting revealed that miR-33a can directly target LPPR4 and inhibit its expression. Experiments also revealed that miR-33a promotes the synthesis of triglycerides and increases the content of unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs). These results indicate that miR-33a via LPPR4 plays an important role in the regulation of milk fat synthesis and UFA levels.

Dwarf nova outbursts in intermediate polars

description: The disc instability model (DIM) has been very successful in explaining the dwarf nova outbursts observed in cataclysmic variables. When, as in intermediate polars (IP), the accreting white dwarf is magnetized, the disc is truncated at the magnetospheric radius, but for mass-transfer rates corresponding to the thermal-viscous instability such systems should still exhibit dwarf-nova outbursts. Yet, the majority of intermediate polars in which the magnetic field is not large enough to completely disrupt the accretion disc, seem to be stable, and the rare observed outbursts, in particular in systems with long orbital periods, are much shorter than normal dwarf-nova outbursts. We investigate the predictions of the disc instability model for intermediate polars in order to determine which of the observed properties of these systems can be explained by the DIM. We use our numerical code for the time evolution of accretion discs, modified to include the effects of the magnetic field, with constant or variable mass transfer from the secondary star. We show that intermediate polars have mass transfer low enough and magnetic fields large enough to keep the accretion disc stable on the cold equilibrium branch. We show that the infrequent and short outbursts observed in long period systems, such as e.g., TV Col, cannot be attributed to the thermal-viscous instability of the accretion disc, but instead have to be triggered by an enhanced mass-transfer from the secondary, or, more likely, by some instability coupling the white dwarf magnetic field with that generated by the magnetorotational instability operating in the accretion disc. Longer outbursts (a few days) could result from the disc instability.

description: We present a new model of the optical nebular emission from HII regions by combin- ing the results of the Binary Population and Spectral Synthesis (bpass) code with the photoion- ization code cloudy (Ferland et al. 1998). We explore a variety of emission-line diagnostics of these star-forming HII regions and examine the effects of metallicity and interacting binary evo- lution on the nebula emission-line production. We compare the line emission properties of HII regions with model stellar populations, and provide new constraints on their stellar populations and supernova progenitors. We find that models including massive binary stars can successfully match all the observational constraints and provide reasonable age and mass estimation of the HII regions and supernova progenitors.

description: Mammary-derived growth inhibitor (MDGI), a member of the lipophilic family of fatty acid-binding proteins, plays an important role in the development, regulation, and differentiation of the mammary gland. The aim of the study was to identify polymorphism in the MDGI gene and its expression analysis in the mammary gland at various stages of lactation, in Indian buffalo. Nucleotide sequence analysis of MDGI gene in different breeds of riverine and swamp buffaloes revealed a total of 16 polymorphic sites and one Indel. Different transcription factor binding sites were predicted for buffalo MDGI gene promoter sequence, using online tools and in-silico analysis indicating that the SNPs in this region can impact the gene expression regulation. Phylogenetic analysis exhibited the MDGI of buffalo being closer to other ruminants like cattle, yak, sheep, and goats. Further, the expression analysis revealed that buffalo MDGI being highly expressed in well-developed mammary glands of lactating buffalo as compared to involution/non-lactating and before functional development to start the milk production stage in heifers. Stage-specific variation in expression levels signifies the important functional role of the MDGI gene in mammary gland development and milk production in buffalo, an important dairy species in Southeast Asia.

description: Growth is an important trait in aquaculture and the major genes that regulate it are Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs). In this study, the full-length coding sequences of IGF2 and IGFBP6 genes in the Indian catfish Clarias magur were cloned and characterized. The full-length cDNA sequences of IGF2 and IGFBP6 were 885 bp (ORF 642 bp) and 928 bp (ORF 600 bp), encoding 213 and 199 amino acids, respectively. Bioinformatics analyses revealed that the magur IGF2 and IGFBP6 proteins are hydrophilic and secretory in nature. Sequence alignment with other teleosts and mammalian orthologues shows conservation of the functional domains. Gene expression analysis in 6 individuals each of high (298 ± 5.0 g) and low (210 ± 6.0 g) growth performing families showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher expression (2.5–3 fold) of IGF2, and lower expression (∼2.5 fold) of IGFBP6 in liver and muscle of fast-growing fish. This study suggests that IGF2 could be playing a major role in the growth regulation of magur. These genes and their expression patterns could be developed into growth-associated markers for magur and other catfishes.
Quantitative chemical tagging: empirical constraints on the identification of dispersed coeval stellar groups

description: Though it has been established that open clusters have tight abundance scatter, the empirical evidence for the viability of chemical tagging has for the most part gone unstudied. With a large survey dedicated to tagging - GALAH - just on the horizon, we perform several empirical investigations of this technique. An empirical coeval probability function, which quantifies the likelihood that a pair of stars originated from the same star formation event, is developed and characterised. We then perform a real world test by conducting the first ever blind chemical tagging experiment, with several important implications. The long term evolution and the origin of the Galactic stellar disc are the subjects of intense study. Much is surmised about the evolution of galaxies in general by studying those at cosmic scales, yet there are still significant issues in explaining phenomena in our own Galaxy. It is only a single case, but of universal importance due to our ability to resolve individual stars and stellar populations. Amongst the important open questions are the origin (or indeed the reality) of the thin and thick stellar discs, the role of intra-disc stellar migrations, the merger history, in-situ star formation history and the chemical evolution of the disc. Kinematic information, though crucial to understanding the Galactic environment, is short lived in the disc and thus astronomers are turning to stellar chemical abundances, which remain unchanged for most of a star's lifetime, to reveal history. In particular, the technique of chemical tagging may be able to use this "fossil" information to link groups of stars in the disc which have formed concurrently from the same molecular cloud, but have since dispersed. Though it has been established that open clusters have tight abundance scatter, the empirical evidence for the viability of chemical tagging has for the most part gone unstudied.

description: We consider the fractional Hartree model, with general power non-linearity and space dimension. We construct variationally the "normalized" solutions for the corresponding Choquard-Pekar model - in particular a number of key properties, like smoothness and bell-shapedness are established. As a consequence of the construction, we show that these solitons are spectrally stable as solutions to the time-dependent Hartree model. In addition, we analyze the spectral stability of the Moroz-Van Schaftingen solitons of the classical Hartree problem, in any dimensions and power non-linearity. A full classification is obtained, the main conclusion of which is that only and exactly the "normalized" solutions (which exist only in a portion of the range) are spectrally stable.

description: The "free" water surface is generally prone to contamination with surface impurities be they surfactants, particles or other surface active agents. The presence of such impurities can modify flow boundary near such interfaces in a drastic manner. Here we show that vibrating a small sphere mounted on an AFM cantilever near a gas bubble immersed in water, is an excellent probe of surface contamination. Both viscous and elastic forces are exerted by an air-water interface on the vibrating sphere even when very low doses of contaminants are present. The viscous drag forces show a cross-over from no-slip to slip boundary conditions while the elastic forces show a nontrivial variation as the vibration frequency changes. We provide a simple model to rationalize these results and propose a simple way of evaluating the concentration of such surface impurities.

description: The great majority of electronic and optoelectronic devices depends on interfaces between n-type and p-type semiconductors. Finding such matching donor-acceptor systems in molecular crystals remains a challenging endeavor. Structurally compatible molecules may not necessarily be suitable with respect to their optical and electronic properties: large exciton binding energies may favor bound electron-hole pairs rather than charge separation by exciton dissociation, and free, band-like transport is challenging to achieve as hopping commonly dominates charge motion. Structurally well-defined pentacene-perfluoropentacene heterostructures in different polymorphs and molecular orientations are model systems to study the relation of packing motif and optical properties. These heterosystems feature two characteristic interface-specific luminescence channels at around 1.4 and 1.5 eV. Their relative emission strength strongly depends on the molecular alignment of the respective donor and acceptor molecules. Evaluating their dynamics in comparison with the corresponding unitary films reveals the role of singlet-triplet intersystem crossing and different channels for carrier injection into the interface-specific resonances.

description: Cyathostomins are considered one of the most important parasites of horses. A group of horses within a herd can be responsible for eliminating the majority of parasite eggs. This phenotype might be explained by genetic factors. This study aimed to identify genomic regions associated with fecal egg count (FEC) and hematological parameters by performing a genomic-wide association study (GWAS) in Thoroughbred horses naturally infected with cyathostomins. Packed cell volume (PCV), differential leukocyte, and FEC were determined from 90 horses. All animals were genotyped using the Illumina Equine 70 K BeadChip panel containing 65,157 SNP markers. The five genomic windows that have explained the highest percentage of the additive genetic variance of a specific trait (top 5) were further explored to identify candidate genes. A total of 33, 21, 30, 21, and 19 genes were identified for FEC, PCV, eosinophils, neutrophils, and lymphocyte count, respectively. The top 5 marker regions explained 2.86, 2.56, 2.73, 2.33, and 2.37% of the additive genetic variation of FEC, PCV, eosinophils, neutrophils, and lymphocytes count, respectively. This is the first study correlating phenotypic horse health traits to GWAS analysis, which may be used for animal breeding activities, reducing losses due to parasite infections. GWAS analyses were used in Thoroughbred horses naturally infected with cyathostomins. Genomic (co)variance and SNP effects were estimated by a single step methodology. Additive genetic variation (2.86%) of fecal egg count was explained by the top five genomic regions. Genomic windows on chromosomes 17, 21 and 25 were associated to immune system traits.

description: We present an exact analytical bouncing solution for a closed universe filled with only one exotic fluid with negative pressure, obeying a Generalized Equations of State (GEoS) of the form $P(ρ)=Aρ+Bρ^λ$, where $A$, $B$ and $λ$ are constants. In our solution $A=-1/3$ and $λ=1/2$ and $B<0$ is kept as a free parameter. For particular values of the initial conditions, we obtain that our solution obeys Null Energy Condition (NEC), which allows us to reinterpret the matter source as that of a real scalar field, $ϕ$, with a positive kinetic energy and a potential $V(ϕ)$. We compute numerically the scalar field as a function of time as well as its potential $V(ϕ)$, and find an analytical function for the potential that fits very accurately with the numerical results obtained. The shape of this potential can be well described by a Gaussian-type of function, and hence, there is no spontaneous symmetry minimum of $V(ϕ)$. We further show that the bouncing scenario is structurally stable under small variations of the parameter $A$, such that a family of bouncing solutions can be find numerically, in a small vicinity of the value $A=-1/3$.

description: We present a rigorous study of the short maturity asymptotics for Asian options with continuous-time averaging, under the assumption that the underlying asset follows the Constant Elasticity of Variance (CEV) model. We present an analytical approximation for the Asian options prices which has the appropriate short maturity asymptotics, and demonstrate good numerical agreement of the asymptotic results with the results of Monte Carlo simulations and benchmark test cases for option parameters relevant in practical applications.

description: 755 new CCD observations during the years 2014-2016 have been reduced to derive the precise positions of Triton, the first satellite of Neptune. The observations were made by the 1 m telescope at Yunnan Observatory over fifteen nights. The positions of Triton are measured with respect to the stars in Gaia DR1 star catalogue. The theoretical position of Triton was retrieved from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) ephemeris nep081xl, while the position of Neptune was obtained from the JPL ephemeris DE431mx. Our results show that the mean O-Cs (observed minus computed) are 0.042 and -0.006 arcsec in right ascension and declination respectively. The dispersions of our observations are estimated at about 0.012 arcsec in each direction.

Archive Services and the Changing Role of the Professional, 1945 – 2015: A Study into Local Authority Archive Services
Creators: name: Cooksey, Rachael
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024

description: This study investigates the forces that drove change in the UK local authority archive sector between 1945 and 2015 and considers the nature of the change which was produced. It explores the way professionals within local archive services have been both affected by and responded to change situated within a context of continually moving professional, political, economic, and social environments. The research therefore considered whether change was generated by a top-down or bottom-up approach to organisational development. It examines how audiences are enabled to consume archives and the changing relationships between archive professionals and audiences, due in part to professionalisation of the sector. This shows the increasingly complex nature of the sector in providing a public facing service for growing communities of users.This is a historical study. Reviewed alongside published literature, contemporary reports, and professional journals, two focused studies of county record offices bring to the forefront the rich detail of organisational life at ground level, set within the complex narrative of higher-level government structures and legislation. The research provides rich detailed qualitative accounts explaining the intricacies of real-life situations. Archive services can be more than administrators of history; lessons can be gained through obtaining a fuller understanding of how change has been generated within local services. The study concludes that change has been driven by a multiplicity of factors including British government policy, commissions, recommendations, and restructures against a backdrop of shifting economic and social conditions as well as driven by the personal interests and aspirations of archive professionals. The study makes an original contribution to the history of local archive services in the UK, adding to an under-researched part of the heritage sector, and contributes to archive, museum, and libraries literature more broadly.
