description: The nature of Na ion distribution, diffusion path, and the spin structure of $P2$-type Na$_2$Ni$_2$TeO$_6$ with a Ni honeycomb network has been explored. The nuclear density distribution of Na ions reveals a 2D chiral pattern within Na layers without breaking the original 3D crystal symmetry, which has been achieved uniquely via an inverse Fourier transform (iFT)-assisted neutron diffraction technique. The Na diffusion pathway described by the calculated iso-surface of Na ion bond valence sum (BVS) map is found consistent to a chiral diffusion mechanism. The Na site occupancy and Ni$^{2+}$ spin ordering were examined in detail with the electron density mapping, neutron diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, thermal conductivity and transport measurements. Signatures of both strong incommensurate (ICM) and weak commensurate (CM) antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin ordering were identified in the polycrystalline sample studied, and the CM-AFM spin ordering was confirmed by using a single crystal sample through the $k$-scan in the momentum space corresponding to the AFM peak of ($\frac{1}{2}$, 0, 1).

description: We investigate dissipative anomalies in a turbulent fluid governed by the compressible Navier-Stokes equation. We follow an exact approach pioneered by Onsager, which we explain as a non-perturbative application of the principle of renormalization-group invariance. In the limit of high Reynolds and Péclet numbers, the flow realizations are found to be described as distributional or "coarse-grained" solutions of the compressible Euler equations, with standard conservation laws broken by turbulent anomalies. The anomalous dissipation of kinetic energy is shown to be due not only to local cascade, but also to a distinct mechanism called pressure-work defect. Irreversible heating in stationary, planar shocks with an ideal-gas equation of state exemplifies the second mechanism. Entropy conservation anomalies are also found to occur by two mechanisms: an anomalous input of negative entropy (negentropy) by pressure-work and a cascade of negentropy to small scales. We derive "4/5th-law"-type expressions for the anomalies, which allow us to characterize the singularities (structure-function scaling exponents) required to sustain the cascades. We compare our approach with alternative theories and empirical evidence. It is argued that the "Big Power-Law in the Sky" observed in electron density scintillations in the interstellar medium is a manifestation of a forward negentropy cascade, or an inverse cascade of usual thermodynamic entropy.

description: Udder structure of milking cows is not merely vital to display the visual characteristics, but also important for high milk output and low mastitis risk incidence as well. The present study measured different udder type traits in Sahiwal (Bos indicus) and Karan Fries (Bos taurus × Bos indicus) and investigated their association with single nucleotide polymorphisms in Vitamin D Receptor and Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, Receptor Type, R genes. GG genotype of SNP rs454303072 was found to have wider rear udder, larger udder circumference, longer distance between fore-rear teats and left-right teats in Karan Fries cattle. Whereas, in Sahiwal cattle, AA genotype of this SNP was found to be associated with the higher and wider rear udder, larger udder circumference and wider udder. AA genotype of SNP rs382671389 was found to be associated with longer fore teat in Karan Fries cattle. The TT and CC genotype of SNP rs435289107 was associated with udder type traits in Karan Fries and Sahiwal cattle respectively. These results suggest that BTA 5 harbors genomic regions associated with udder traits in Bos indicus and Bos indicus x Bos taurus cattle.

description: Meshfree solution schemes for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations are usually based on algorithms commonly used in finite volume methods, such as projection methods, SIMPLE and PISO algorithms. However, drawbacks of these algorithms that are specific to meshfree methods have often been overlooked. In this paper, we study the drawbacks of conventionally used meshfree Generalized Finite Difference Method~(GFDM) schemes for Lagrangian incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, both operator splitting schemes and monolithic schemes. The major drawback of most of these schemes is inaccurate local approximations to the mass conservation condition. Further, we propose a new modification of a commonly used monolithic scheme that overcomes these problems and shows a better approximation for the velocity divergence condition. We then perform a numerical comparison which shows the new monolithic scheme to be more accurate than existing schemes.

description: Milk protein genes are associated with milk yield and composition in dairy animals. The present study aimed to identify milk protein genes (CSN1S1, CSN2, CSN3, and BLG) genetic variants and their association with milk yield in Sahiwal cattle and Nili-Ravi buffaloes. One hundred animals from each species were selected to collect blood samples and milk production records. Primers were designed for these milk protein genes for PCR amplification. Sequencing of resultant PCR products revealed a higher number of SNPs (13 vs. 7, 5 vs. 1, and 6 vs. 2) in Sahiwal as compared to Nili-Ravi animals in CSN1S1, CSN2, and CSN3 genes, respectively. However, a single SNP was observed in BLG gene of both species. Association analysis revealed that one SNP in BLG gene of Nili-Ravi was associated (p < 0.05) with 305-day milk yield. Two SNPs at CSN1S1 gene in Sahiwal were associated with dry-period. Similarly, one SNP at CSN1S1 and two SNPs at CSN3 gene showed significant association (p < 0.05) with average calving-interval in Sahiwal while two SNPs in CSN1S1 gene were associated (p < 0.05) with this trait in Nili-Ravi. These SNPs could be helpful as candidate variants for marker-assisted selection in cattle and buffaloes for improvement of lactation performance.

description: The objective of this study was to explore single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and gene expression of immune and antioxidant markers associated with reproductive disorders in Baladi goats. A total of one hundred adults Baladi does were allocated into two equal-sized groups: normal reproductive performance and does have a history of reproductive disorders. DNA sequencing of PRLR (304-bp), LTF (904-bp), TLR2 (420-bp), TLR4 (335-bp), CLA-DRB3.2 (285-bp), SOD3 (735-bp), CAT (1526-bp), GPX4 (782-bp), and GST (690-bp) revealed SNPs associated with reproductive disorders tolerance/susceptibility in investigated does. Nonetheless, DNA sequencing of beta defensin (483-bp), CCL5 (840-bp), and ATOX1 (374-bp) genes elicited a monomorphic pattern. Levels of PRLR, LTF, TLR2, TLR4, CLA-DRB3.2, beta defensin, and CCL5 genes were significantly up-regulated in does affect with reproductive disorders than tolerant ones; while SOD3, CAT, GPX4, GST and ATOX1 genes pattern elicited an opposite trend. The results herein confirmed the potential significance of SNPs in immune and antioxidant genes as genetic markers for reproductive disorders tolerance/susceptibility in Baladi does. The Gene expression profile of investigated genes could be also used as proxy biomarkers for the prediction of the most susceptible risk time for disease occurrence and for building up an effective management protocol.
Superexchange theory of electronic polarization driven by relativistic spin-orbit interaction at the half-filling

description: By applying Berry-phase theory for the effective half-filled Hubbard model, we derive an analytical expression for the electronic polarization driven by the relativistic spin-orbit (SO) coupling. The model itself is constructed in the Wannier basis, using the input from the first-principles electronic structure calculations in the local-density approximation, and then treated in the spirit of the superexchange theory. The obtained polarization has the following form: ${\bf P}_{ij} = \boldsymbolε_{ji} \boldsymbol{\cal P}_{ij} \cdot [\boldsymbol{e}_i \times \boldsymbol{e}_j]$, where $\boldsymbolε_{ji}$ is the direction of the bond $\langle ij \rangle$, $\boldsymbol{e}_i$ and $\boldsymbol{e}_j$ are the directions of spins in this bond, and $\boldsymbol{\cal P}_{ij}$ is the pseudovector containing all the information about the crystallographic symmetry of the considered system. The expression describes the ferroelectric activity in various magnets with noncollinear but otherwise nonpolar magnetic structures, which would yield no polarization without SO interaction, including the magnetoelectric (ME) effect, caused by the ferromagnetic canting of spins in the external magnetic field, and spin-spiral multiferroics. The abilities of this theory are demonstrated for the the analysis of linear ME effect in Cr$_2$O$_3$ and BiFeO$_3$ and properties multiferroic MnWO$_4$ and $β$-MnO$_2$. In all considered examples, the theory perfectly describes the symmetry properties of the induced polarization. However, in some cases, the values of this polarization are underestimated, suggesting that other effects, besides the spin and electronic ones, can also play an important role.

Brown Dwarf Companions and Background Subtraction in The Next Generation Transit Survey
Creators: name: Henderson, Beth A
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024

description: Brown dwarfs are the bridge between low mass stars and giant exoplanets. Studying them provides a vast amount of information, some of which is transferable to giant exoplanets. However, their low temperatures mean they are difficult to observe with many telescopes. Chapter 1 reviews the current understanding about brown dwarfs, their characteristics and their variability. It also reviews the current understanding of the so-called ‘brown dwarf desert’ which arises due to a lack of brown dwarf companions to main sequence stars, orbiting within 3 AU. I introduce the Next Generation Transit Survey and its capabilities for studying these intriguing objects. In Chapter 2, I discuss the methods I used to discover and characterise NGTS-28Ab and TOI-2490b, two new transiting brown dwarfs within the brown dwarf desert. NGTS-28Ab and TOI-2490b, their host stars and their position in the brown dwarf desert, are discussed in Chapters 3 and 4 respectively. Chapter 5 discusses the current pipeline for NGTS and particularly, the current background subtraction and how it may be improved. Nebuliser is introduced, along with its capabilities and previous uses. Chapter 6 details the analysis I performed to test whether including Nebuliser as an extra step in the background subtraction improves the precision of the fainter objects within each field. Finally, Chapter 7 summarises this thesis and discusses any future work/observations which could be performed/taken.

description: We investigate the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) effect on the Hawking radiation of the 2+1 dimensional Martinez-Zanelli black hole by using the Hamilton-Jacobi method. In this connection, we discuss the tunnelling probabilities and Hawking temperature of the spin-1/2 and spin-0 particles for the black hole. Therefore, we use the modified Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations based on the GUP. Then, we observe that the Hawking temperature of the scalar and Dirac particles depend on not only the black hole properties, but also the properties of the tunnelling particle, such as angular momentum, energy and mass. And, in this situation, we see that the tunnellig probability and the Hawking radiation of the Dirac particle is different from that of the scalar particle.

description: Ghoongroo pigs have good adaptability in a low input production system with high prolificacy. The present study was conducted on pre-and post-weaned Ghoongroo piglets from 2–3 days to 12 weeks of age to evaluate the effect of a milk replacer and oregano essential oil (EO) on growth, physiological and immunological responses. Thirty six piglets were randomly divided into three groups. The control group (n = 12) was allowed to suck mother’s milk. Second group piglets were provided milk replacer (MR) and piglets of the third group were provided milk replacer along with oregano EO at 500 mg/kg diet. After weaning, piglets were provided standard concentrate diets. The results showed that the body weight in MR and MR + EO groups were significantly higher compared with the control. The MR + EO group had better intestinal microbiota, greater nonspecific innate immunity with the phagocytosis efficacy of neutrophils, lower cortisol concentration and more stable thyroid hormones than the other groups. The better haematological status supported the rapid organ development and improved intestinal health status in both the experimental groups. In conclusion, milk replacer, especially with the inclusion of oregano EO, can lower weaning stress, enhance nonspecific immunity and improve growth and health status of piglets.

description: Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is the key enzyme for the degradation of triacylglycerols (TAGs). It functions in concert with other enzymes to mobilize TAG and supply fatty acids (FAs) for energy production. Dysregulated lipolysis leads to excess concentrations of circulating FAs, which may lead to destructive and lipotoxic effects to the organism. To understand the role of ATGL in mammary lipid metabolism, ATGL was overexpressed in goat mammary epithelial cells (GMECs) by using a recombinant adenovirus system. ATGL overexpression decreased lipid droplet (LD) accumulation and cellular TG content (p < 0.05) along with a decrease in the expression of the key enzyme that catalyzes the final step of TG synthesis (DGAT). Significant increases were observed in the expression of genes related to lipolysis (hormone-sensitive lipase [HSL]) and FA desaturation (SCD) by ATGL overexpression. Genes responsible for FA oxidation (PPARα), LD formation and secretion (ADRP and BTN1A1), and long-chain FA uptake (CD36) were all decreased by ATGL overexpression (p < 0.05). The primary products of TAG lipolysis, free FAs (FFAs), were notably increased in the ATGL-overexpressing cells. Taken together, our results demonstrated that ATGL activation impairs lipid formation partially through accelerating lipolysis in GMECs.

Efficiency of Synchrotron Radiation from Rotation-Powered Pulsars

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Synchrotron radiation is widely considered as the origin of the pulsed non-thermal emissions from rotation-powered pulsars in optical and X-ray bands. In this paper, we study the synchrotron radiation emitted by the created electron and positron pairs in the pulsar magnetosphere to constrain on the energy conversion efficiency from the Poynting flux to the particle energy flux. We model two pair creation processes, two-photon collision which efficiently works in young $γ$-ray pulsars ($\lesssim10^6$ yr), and magnetic pair creation which is the dominant process to supply pairs in old pulsars ($\gtrsim10^6$ yr). Using the analytical model, we derive the maximum synchrotron luminosity as a function of the energy conversion efficiency. From the comparison with observations, we find that the energy conversion efficiency to the accelerated particles should be an order of unity in the magnetosphere, even though we make a number of the optimistic assumptions to enlarge the synchrotron luminosity. In order to explain the luminosity of the non-thermal X-ray/optical emission from pulsars with low spin-down luminosity $L_{\rm sd}\lesssim10^{34}$ erg s$^{-1}$, non-dipole magnetic field components should be dominant at the emission region. For the $γ$-ray pulsars with $L_{\rm sd}\lesssim10^{35}$ erg s$^{-1}$, observed $γ$-ray to X-ray and optical flux ratios are much higher than the flux ratio between curvature and the synchrotron radiations. We discuss some possibilities such as the coexistence of multiple accelerators in the magnetosphere as suggested from the recent numerical simulation results. The obtained maximum luminosity would be useful to select observational targets in X-ray and optical bands.

description: CNVs (copy number variations) are the novel and common structural variants that could cover entire genes found in plenty of species. CNV may influence economically important traits or disease susceptibility in livestock species. Based on the whole genome resequencing results, we found that there was a CNV region on the LRRFIP1 gene. Then we used qPCR to detect the copy number type distribution in 553 individuals of four sheep breeds and used them for association analysis. The results showed that: (1) In the CKS, the sheep with gain type had a larger heart girth (p = 0.049). (2) For the HS, the CNV could significantly affect rump breadth (p = 0.037) and circumference of the cannon (p = 0.035). And the sheep with median type showed better performance in rump breadth and circumference of cannon. (3) At the STHS, the CNV was significantly correlated with chest width (p = 0.000) with loss type as the most favorable CNV type. Meanwhile, the best was the loss type, and the lowest was the median. (4) This CNV had no significant effect on the LTHS. So, the CNV of LRRFIP1 was related to the growth traits of these three sheep breeds and it may be used as a molecular marker for sheep.

description: We suggest that Cobalt-Oxychalcogenide layers constructed by vertex sharing CoA$_2$O$_2$ (A=S,Se,Te) tetrahedra, such as BaCoAO, are strongly correlated multi-orbital electron systems that can provide important clues on the cause of unconventional superconductivity. Differing from cuprates and iron-based superconductors, these systems lack of the C$_4$ rotational symmetry. However, their parental compounds possess antiferromagnetic(AFM) Mott insulating states through pure superexchange interactions and the low energy physics near Fermi surfaces upon doping is also attributed mainly to the three t$_{2g}$ orbitals that dominate the AFM interactions. We derive a low energy effective model for these systems and predict that a d-wave-like superconducting state with reasonable high transition temperature can emerge by suppressing the AFM ordering even if the pairing symmetry can not be classified by the rotational symmetry any more.

description: The motion of a massive particle in Rindler space has been studied and obtained the geodesics of motion. The orbits in Rindler space are found to be quite different from that of Schwarzschild case. The paths are not like the Perihelion Precession type. Further we have set up the non-relativistic Schrodinger equation for the particle in the quantum mechanical scenario in presence of background constant gravitational field and investigated the problem of fall of the particle at the center. This problem is also treated classically. Unlike the conventional scenario, here the fall occurs at the surface of a sphere of unit radius.

description: Tragulids hold a significant place in the evolutionary history of mammals since they represent the basal branch of ruminants. Only three genera of tragulids are being extant to date such as Tragulus, Hyemoschus and Moschiola. In the genus Moschiola, Sri Lankan chevrotains (Moschiola meminna and Moschiola kathygre) are endemic to Sri Lanka while Moschiola indica is present in India. Sri Lankan chevrotains lack information on their population structure, distribution and molecular evidence on species identification. This leads to possible threats including habitat destruction, poaching and illegal hunting and trading under different names. In this study, genomic DNA from hair follicles was isolated from M. meminna and M. kathygre and 12S rRNA mitochondrial gene was amplified using universal primers. The PCR products were sequenced and phylogenetic analysis was done on Sri Lankan chevrotains for the first time. The sequences of Sri Lankan chevrotains share 99.7% similarity as they differ only in a single InDel present in M. meminna. In silico analysis of 12S rRNA region revealed that PCR-RFLP approach can be used to differentiate the Sri Lankan chevrotains from Indian chevrotain using the restriction enzymes; Rsa I, Sca I, Hinf I and Hind III. M. kathygre and M. meminna can be differentiated from each other by using Dra I.

description: Secure spontaneous authentication between devices worn at arbitrary location on the same body is a challenging, yet unsolved problem. We propose BANDANA, the first-ever implicit secure device-to-device authentication scheme for devices worn on the same body. Our approach leverages instantaneous variation in acceleration patterns from gait sequences to extract always-fresh secure secrets. It enables secure spontaneous pairing of devices worn on the same body or interacted with. The method is robust against noise in sensor readings and active attackers. We demonstrate the robustness of BANDANA on two gait datasets and discuss the discriminability of intra- and inter-body cases, robustness to statistical bias, as well as possible attack scenarios.

description: The strong coupling limit of cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) implies the capability of a matter-like quantum system to coherently transform an individual excitation into a single photon within a resonant structure. This not only enables essential processes required for quantum information processing but also allows for fundamental studies of matter-light interaction. In this work we demonstrate strong coupling between the charge degree of freedom in a gate-detuned GaAs double quantum dot (DQD) and a frequency-tunable high impedance resonator realized using an array of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs). In the resonant regime, we resolve the vacuum Rabi mode splitting of size $2g/2π= 238$ MHz at a resonator linewidth $κ/2π= 12$ MHz and a DQD charge qubit dephasing rate of $γ_2/2π= 80$ MHz extracted independently from microwave spectroscopy in the dispersive regime. Our measurements indicate a viable path towards using circuit based cavity QED for quantum information processing in semiconductor nano-structures.

description: Reproductive traits have a high economic value in goat breeding, and increasing the number of lambs produced by ewes is of great importance to improve the production efficiency of goat farming. Lambing traits in goats are low heritability traits, but their genetic basis is ultimately determined by genes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between INHA, RARG, and PGR gene polymorphisms and production performance, such as lambing, cashmere production, milk production, and body size in Liaoning cashmere goats. A total of six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) loci were identified in these three genes, G144A and T504C on the INHA gene, A56G, G144A, G490C on the RARG gene, and G109519T on the PGR gene. For lambing and cashmere production traits, the AA genotype of G144A on the INHA gene, TT on the T504C genotype, GG genotype of G144A on the INHA gene, A56G, G144A, and T504C on RARG and G109519T on PGR gene are dominant genotypes. AATT is a dominant haplotype combination. Allele G can be used as a molecular marker for lambing, cashmere, and milk production traits in Liaoning cashmere goats. Marker-assisted selection can be used for early selection to achieve improvement of genetic traits in Liaoning cashmere goats.
Cultural value and books in public debate in Australia 2003-2008

description: "The years 2003-2008 were a time of heightened public debate in Australia. Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, books which offered critiques of the Bush and Howard governments and which questioned developments in international and domestic politics found interested readerships. One publisher has recalled this as a distinct period of unusual Australian appetite for books about serious issues. Such books were amongst a range of narrative non-fiction works ... through which their authors sought to participate in civic debate. Surely, if books made a contribution to contemporary public debate, this timeframe would provide a compelling case study. This research analyses the Nielsen BookScan top 5000 non-fiction book sales from 2003-2008 in Australia, focusing on critiques and other popular narrative non-fiction 'reading patterns' identified in the data. The project examines reading patterns in relation to two major debates, namely the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan, and Australia's policies towards asylum seekers; the extent and popularity of overseas-authored and Australian books; and whether Australian independent publishers have made distinctive contributions to the public debate through the types of books they published during this period. The findings are considered in the context of the developing conceptual body of work about cultural value in economics, and theoretical work on readerships in book history" -- abstract.

description: VISFATIN is an adipose cytokine that has been proved to correlate with growth and development traits. In a previous study from our lab, two insertion/deletions (indels; including a 35-bp insertion at its intron 4 and a 6-bp deletion in intron 5) were identified within the VISFATIN gene. To validate these indels and evaluate their association with growth traits in Chinese cattle, a total of 413 samples from four Chinese indigenous breeds and 217 samples from Chinese breeds were detected. Three genotypes (WW, WI and II) at intron 4 were detected based on the 35-bp insertion (allele I) or deletion (allele W) and showed moderate polymorphism in all samples. Two genotypes (WW and WD) at intron 5 were detected based on the 6-bp deletion (allele D) or insertion (allele W) in Xianan (XN) cattle and Jinnan (JN) cattle population but showed poor polymorphisms. Association analysis illustrated that the indel at intron 4 is significantly associated with chest girth, rump length and body weight in Ji'an (JA) cattle and the indel at intron 5 can cause a significant difference in rump length in JN cattle. To our knowledge, it is the first time it has been shown that indels within the VISFATIN gene are associated with growth traits in the two Chinese indigenous cattle breeds. These findings suggest that the VISFATIN gene can be used as a molecular marker for JN and JA cattle breeding.

description: We report fabrication and measurement of a device where closely-placed two parallel InAs nanowires (NWs) are contacted by source and drain normal metal electrodes. Established technique includes selective deposition of double nanowires onto a previously defined gate region. By tuning the junction with the finger bottom gates, we confirmed the formation of parallel double quantum dots, one in each NW, with a finite electrostatic coupling between each other. With the fabrication technique established in this study, devices proposed for more advanced experiments, such as Cooper-pair splitting and the observation of parafermions, can be realized.

description: We consider the acousto-optic effect in a random medium. We derive the radiative transport equations that describe the propagation of multiply-scattered light in a medium whose dielectric permittivity is modulated by an acoustic wave. Using this result, we present an analysis of the sensitivity of an acousto-optic measurement to the presence of a small absorbing inhomogeneity.
