description: In this paper and its sequel we continue our study of nilpotent symplectic alternating algebras. In particular we give a full classification of such algebras of dimension $10$ over any field. It is known that symplectic alternating algebras over $\mbox{GF}(3)$ correspond to a special rich class $\mathcal{C}$ of $2$-Engel $3$-groups of exponent $27$ and under this correspondence we will see that the nilpotent algebras correspond to a subclass of $\mathcal{C}$ that are those groups in $\mathcal{C}$ that have an extra group theoretical property that we refer to as being powerfully nilpotent and can be described also in the context of $p$-groups where $p$ is an arbitrary prime.

description: For harnessing the full potential of quantum phenomena, light-matter interfaces and complexly connected quantum networks are required, relying on the joint quantum operation of different physical platforms. In this work, we analyze the quantum properties of multipartite quantum systems, consisting of an arbitrarily large collection of optical cavities with two-level atoms. In particular, we explore quantum walks in such systems and determine the resulting entanglement. Realistic imperfections are included in the model as optical losses and spontaneous decays of atoms. The topology of torus and the non-orientable Möbius strip serve as examples of complex networks we consider, demonstrating the versatility of our approach and resulting in interesting quantum dynamics and interference effects for quantum simulation applications.

description: The redshifted 21-cm signal from the epoch of reionization (EoR) directly probes the ionization and thermal states of the intergalactic medium during that period. In particular, the distribution of the ionized regions around the radiating sources during EoR introduces scale-dependent features in the spherically-averaged EoR 21-cm signal power spectrum. The goal is to study these scale-dependent features at different stages of reionization using numerical simulations and build a source model-independent framework to probe the properties of the intergalactic medium using EoR 21-cm signal power spectrum measurements. Under the assumption of high spin temperature, we modelled the redshift evolution of the ratio of EoR 21-cm brightness temperature power spectrum and the corresponding density power spectrum using an ansatz consisting of a set of redshift and scale-independent parameters. This set of eight parameters probes the redshift evolution of the average ionization fraction and the quantities related to the morphology of the ionized regions. We have tested this ansatz on different reionization scenarios generated using different simulation algorithms and found that it is able to recover the redshift evolution of the average neutral fraction within an absolute deviation $\lesssim 0.1$. Our framework allows us to interpret 21-cm signal power spectra in terms of parameters related to the state of the IGM. This source model-independent framework can efficiently constrain reionization scenarios using multi-redshift power spectrum measurements with ongoing and future radio telescopes such as LOFAR, MWA, HERA, and SKA. This will add independent information regarding the EoR IGM properties.

description: It is well understood that defects adversely affect the electro-mechanical properties of materials. Ideally, defect compositions of device materials could be measured, but present technology in the field of atomic defect detection is either destructive in nature, or is unable to determine the precise atomic composition of materials. In the adjacent field of damage detection in large-scale truss networks, algorithms based on spectral measurements have successfully been employed to locate damaged members. Already similar principles have been applied to material lattices experimentally by using Raman Spectroscopy to qualitatively approximate defect densities within materials. However, the applications have largely been limited to surface defects or two-dimensional materials, and the host lattices and defect types are primarily studied anecdotally.

This thesis details a numerical method for determining the precise phonon or vibration spectra of material lattices with defects. The dynamical matrices of lattices containing defects are calculated by introducing defects systematically into the dynamical matrices of pristine, defect-free lattices using linear operators. Each operation modifies or removes an individual bond or interaction. Complex defect configurations can be composed through reiterative application of the operators. The proposed methods may be applied to systems containing any interaction type or bond order, including space trusses and atomic lattices. The method is demonstrated by numerically determining the convergence rate of phonon properties in the dilute limit of a single point vacancy. Then the same methodology is applied to two-dimensional atomic lattices with central forces,

two-dimension truss networks with distributed mass, as well as three-dimensional

atomic lattices with non-linear many body potentials. In each example, the defect

structure and properties are shown to alter the spectral properties of the materials.

description: Solar jets are collimated plasma flows moving along magnetic field lines and accelerated at low altitude following magnetic reconnection. Several of them originate from anemone-shaped low-lying arcades and the most impulsive ones tend to be relatively wider and display untwisting motions. We aim to establish typical behaviours and observational signatures in the low atmosphere that can occur in response to the coronal development of such impulsive jets. We analysed an observed solar jet associated with a circular flare ribbon, using high-resolution observations from SST coordinated with IRIS and SDO. We related specifically identified features with those developing in a generic 3D line-tied numerical simulation of reconnection driven jets, performed with the ARMS code. We identified three features in the SST observations: the formation of a hook along the circular ribbon, the gradual widening of the jet through the apparent displacement of its kinked edge towards, and not away from the presumed reconnection site, and the falling back of some of the jet plasma towards a footpoint offset from that of the jet itself. The 3D numerical simulation naturally accounts for these features which were not imposed a priori. Our analyses allow to interpret them in the context of the 3D geometry of the asymmetric swirled anemone loops and their sequences of reconnection with ambient coronal loops. Given the relatively-simple conditions in which the observed jet occurred, together with the generic nature of the simulation that comprised minimum assumptions, we predict that the specific features that we identified and interpreted are probably typical of every impulsive jet

description: Epilepsy is a debilitating condition affecting ∼65 million people globally, with ∼3.4 million cases in the United States alone. Cannabidiol (CBD) has shown promise in treating drug-resistant epilepsy, and there are some experimental indications that its effects result from modulation of the human voltage-gated sodium channel 1.1 (hNav1.1), yet the detailed CBD binding to hNav1.1 at molecular level remains poorly understood. Despite prior molecular modeling and mutagenesis studies, no NMR or X-ray structures of CBD-bound hNav1.1 are available, leaving its exact binding orientation undefined. In this study, we investigated the potential binding-site orientation and interactions of CBD within hNav1.1 using computational methods, including docking, Prime-MMGBSA and all-atom molecular dynamics simulations (MD). To gain insight regarding potential binding orientations of CBD within hNav1.1, we performed Induced-Fit Docking of CBD on a cryo-EM structure (PDB ID:7DTD). We evaluated two orientations of CBD within hNav1.1: one in which the cyclohexene moiety is directed towards the central cavity near key residue Phe1772 (Pose A) and another in which the cyclohexene moiety is exposed towards the membrane (Pose B). Subsequent 500 ns MD simulations revealed that Pose B, with the cyclohexene moiety oriented extracellularly towards the membrane within hNav1.1, was energetically more favorable (ΔG = −51.88 ± 5.19 kcal/mol) than the intracellular orientation Pose A (ΔG = −41.57 ± 3.24 kcal/mol). These findings provide valuable insights for designing novel CBD analogs with optimal fit for the hNav1.1 binding pocket.

description: The scale and complexity of livestock farming is increasing, with more staff on farm, more requirement for precise human interventions and arguably less buffers in the system. On top of this climatic conditions are becoming more extreme and variable. These factors combine to provide a risk to the welfare, health, and productivity of our farmed livestock. A climatic event or interruption, or a management error (e.g. missed animal health treatment), can create stressors and have negative impacts on our livestock. There are ways to de-risk this within a farm system, one of these is to have animals that are robust and adaptable to these short-term disruptions or perturbations to their lives. This is a slightly different concept to resilience, which is the ability to bounce back from such an environmentally induced shock, potentially of more interest is if, or how the animal and the system can ride out such challenges. The complexity of farm systems, with the constant change in animal management and genetics means that it can be difficult to understand what impacts we have made on the various components of the system. Knowing if we have made our animals more, or less fit for purpose, or the challenges and opportunities under different stressors should inform future animal selection, management interventions, or farm system design. Farmed deer have been under genetic selection for farming for a much shorter time than our traditional livestock species. In their recent wild past, there was a strong natural selection for fitness, albeit some traits or behaviours (e.g. predator avoidance) may not be so useful in a farmed environment. Two of the most common stressors on deer in a farmed environment are nutritional and disease stress, with the former potentially triggering the later. To investigate the adaptability of farmed deer in New Zealand a trial with a nutritional stressor treatment associated with weaning was undertaken during Autumn of 2023.

description: ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins are membrane transporters responsible for metabolites and active substances removal from cells. Their genes’ variations have been associated with protein function and expression defects. Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients hosting those alterations might compromise the efficacy of high-dose statin treatment, a primary therapeutic strategy. ABCC1 is a member of the ABC-transporter superfamily, potentially relevant to pharmacological therapy responses and toxicity risks in hypercholesterolemic patients. Here, we evaluated specific non-synonymous (SNV) missense variants in the ABCC1 gene from a FH patient cohort, assessing potential impacts on protein structure, molecular dynamics and interactions with rosuvastatin, atorvastatin, pravastatin, pitavastatin, and lovastatin. Molecular docking, complemented by motion, visual and binding affinity analysis using the PLANNET model, suggested that these mutations had minimal impact on drug interactions. These findings prompted further analysis of two other efflux pumps, ABCG2 and P-gp, and their statin interactions. Interestingly, diminished binding affinities hinted at a compensatory mechanism wherein other transporters might mitigate potential ABCC1 mutation effects, ensuring effective drug efflux. Clinical profiles from the patient cohort did not show a correlation between these variants and clinical outcomes, potentially pointing to the role of alternate drug transporters in statin interaction. Diagram depicting the compensatory turnover of alternate transporters in response to statins’ preferential binding to ABCC1, and its impact on the clinical outcomes for patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. It represents how ABCG2 (pink) and P-gp (orange) are more capable of depleting statins from the intracellular ambient than ABCC1 (purple), thus impacting statin treatment.
Constraints on PDS 70 b and c from the dust continuum emission of the circumplanetary discs considering in situ dust evolution

description: The young T Tauri star PDS 70 has two gas accreting planets sharing one large gap in a pre-transitional disc. Dust continuum emission from PDS 70 c has been detected by Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 7, considered as the evidence of a circumplanetary disc, but the emission from PDS 70 b has not. We constrain the planet mass and the gas accretion rate of the planets by introducing a model of dust evolution in the CPDs and reproducing the detection and non-detection. We first develop a 1D steady gas disc model of the CPDs reflecting the planet properties. We then calculate the radial distribution of the dust profiles considering the dust evolution in the gas disc and calculate the total flux density of dust thermal emission from the CPDs. We find positive correlations between the flux density and three planet properties, the planet mass, gas accretion rate, and their product called "MMdot". We then find that the MMdot of PDS 70 c is larger than 0.4 MJ^2/Myr, and the planet mass and the gas accretion rate are larger than 5MJ and 0.02 MJ/Myr, respectively. This is the first case to succeed in obtaining constraints on planet properties from the flux density of dust continuum from a CPD. We also find some loose constraints on the properties of PDS 70 b from the non-detection. We propose possible scenarios for the planets explaining the non-detection respectively detection of the dust emission. The first explanation is that planet c has larger planet mass and/or larger gas accretion rate than planet b. The other possibility is that the CPD of planet c has a larger amount of dust supply and/or weaker turbulence than that of planet b. If the dust supply to planet c is larger than b due to its closeness to the outer dust ring, it is also quantitatively consistent with that planet c has weaker H-alpha line emission than planet b considering the dust extinction effect.

description: HPAI H5N1 was documented for the first time in the subantarctic region on Bird Island, South Georgia, resulting in the mortality of Brown Skuas Stercorarius antarcticus, Gentoo Penguins Pygoscelis papua, Snowy Albatrosses Diomedea exulans, and Antarctic Fur Seals Arctocephalus gazella. The spread of the HPAI H5N1 subtype has had dramatic impacts on numerous populations of wild birds and mammals. We describe a case study that can inform the management of HPAI for conservation practitioners and researchers globally. We documented the detection, monitoring, and impact of the first known outbreak of H5N1 HPAI in the subantarctic region, at Bird Island in South Georgia (−54.3582, −36.5112) during 2023–2024. Deaths from HPAI were first suspected in September 2023 and later confirmed by genetic analysis. In total, 77 Brown Skuas, 38 Gentoo penguins, and 58 Snowy Albatrosses were suspected to have died from HPAI infection, and HPAI was confirmed in 5 dead Antarctic Fur Seals. Total mortality was unknown for all species, as other individuals will have been scavenged before discovery, or died at sea. This case study provides lessons for the management, risk, safety considerations, and ethical decisions regarding animal welfare that may help guide research and management responses to HPAI outbreaks elsewhere, particularly in remote areas or in species of conservation concern.

description: The superconducting diode effect -- the dependence of critical current on its direction -- can arise from the simultaneous breaking of inversion and time-reversal symmetry in a superconductor and has gained interest for its potential applications in superconducting electronics. In this letter, we study the effect in a two-dimensional topological insulator (2D TI) in both a uniform geometry as well as in a long Josephson junction. We show that in the presence of Zeeman fields, a circulating edge current enables a large non-reciprocity of the critical current. We find a maximum diode efficiency 1 for the uniform 2D TI and $(\sqrt{2} - 1)^2 \approx 0.17$ for the long Josephson junction.

description: Marine mammal, sea turtle, and seabird bycatch was estimated for the California swordfish drift gillnet fishery during a 26-year period (1990-2015), using random forest regression trees. Tree estimates were compared with traditional annual ratio estimates generated from the same observer data. Ratio estimates suffer from systematic bias (under- and overestimation of bycatch) when observed bycatch is rare, bycatch rates are inferred only from same-year data, and observer coverage is low. Model-based approaches result in more stable annual bycatch estimates with better precision, because estimates are informed by all available data. Even in years with zero observed bycatch, expected values from regression trees are usually positive (sometimes fractions of animals) and have error estimates (thus acknowledging the possibility that animals may be caught even when none are observed), whereas corresponding ratio estimates would be zero and have no error estimates. Regression tree bycatch models include a suite of oceanographic, location, and gear variables used as predictors to estimate bycatch at the fishing-set level. Variables that significantly influenced bycatch rates were identified with a variable selection approach using the R-package rfPermute and validated with a simulated bycatch dataset. Results indicate that rfPermute can succeed in identifying significant predictor variables for rare bycatch events, even when these events represent <1% of all data.

description: Context. Within $Λ$ Cold Dark Matter ($Λ$CDM) simulations, Milky Way-like galaxies accrete some of their satellite galaxies in groups of 3-5 members rather than individually. It was also suggested that this might be the reason behind the origin of satellite planes. Objects accreted in groups are expected to share similar specific total energy and angular momentum, and also identical orbital planes and directions. Aims. Looking at observations of Milky Way satellites, the dwarf galaxies Leo II, IV, V, Crater II, and the star cluster Crater 1 were proposed to be a vestige of group infall. The suggested "Crater-Leo group" shows a coherent distance gradient and all these objects align along a great circle on the sky. We use proper motion data to investigate whether the phase-space distribution of the members of the proposed group are indeed consistent with group infall. Methods. To further investigate this possibility, we use Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) and new Hubble Space Telescope (HST) proper motions, $(μ_{α*}, μ_δ) = (-0.1921 \pm 0.0514, -0.0686 \pm 0.0523)$ mas yr$^{-1}$ for Leo IV and $(μ_{α*}, μ_δ) = (0.1186 \pm 0.1943, -0.1183 \pm 0.1704)$ mas yr$^{-1}$ for Leo V, to derive accurate orbital properties for the proposed group objects. In addition, we explore other possible members of this putative association. Results. Leo II, Leo IV, and Crater 1 show orbital properties consistent with those we predict from assuming group infall. However, our results suggest that Crater II was not accreted with the rest of the objects. If confirmed with increasingly accurate proper motions in the future, the Crater-Leo objects appear to constitute the first identified case of a cosmologically expected, typical group infall event, as opposed to the highly hierarchical Magellanic Cloud system.

description: Aims. A new mechanism of dust accumulation and planetesimal formation in a gravitationally unstable disk with suppressed magnetorotational instability is studied and compared with the classical dead zone in a layered disk model. Methods. We use numerical hydrodynamics simulations in the thin-disk limit FEOSAD code to model the formation and long-term evolution of gravitationally unstable disks, including dust dynamics and growth. Results. We found that in gravitationally unstable disks with a radially varying strength of gravitational instability a region of low mass and angular momentum transport forms in the inner several astronomical units. This region is characterized by low effective α_GI and is similar in characteristics to the dead zone in the layered disk model. As the disk forms and evolves, the GI-induced dead zone accumulates a massive dust ring, which is susceptible to the development of the streaming instability. The model and observationally inferred dust masses and radii may differ significantly in gravitationally unstable disks with massive inner dust rings. Conclusions. The early occurrence of the GI-induced dust ring followed by the presumed development of the streaming instability suggest that this mechanism may form the first generation of planetesimals in the inner terrestrial zone of the disk. The proposed mechanism, however, crucially depends on the susceptibility of the disk to gravitational instability and requires that the magnetorotational instability be suppressed.

description: Our survey of site managers or researchers for all Little Tern colonies in 13 European countries found only three cases of dead birds proven to have succumbed to high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) in 2022–2023, amongst tens of thousands of breeding birds. In view of few reported cases of HPAI in Little Terns, despite the high prevalence among other seabirds, especially the four maritime terns (Common Tern Sterna hirundo, Arctic Tern S. paradiseaea, Roseate Tern S. dougallii and Sandwich Tern Thalasseus sandvicensis), we explored whether this was a genuine difference. We devised a brief survey asking simple questions about HPAI found in any dead adult Little Terns, and emailed it to every known site manager or colony recorder in Britain, the Isle of Man and Ireland. For countries in mainland Europe with significant populations of Little Terns, we sent the same survey to ornithologists identified through their involvement in monitoring the species, or leadership of their country's contribution to the recent Second European Breeding Bird Atlas. For Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales and the Isle of Man, we achieved significant coverage; out of the nine Little Terns that were tested across Europe, only three dead individuals in England and Ireland were recorded as testing positive for HPAI. Across the coastal colonies in mainland Europe, none were recorded. HPAI was very scarce, or absent, in 2022 or 2023 in all observed colonies of Little Terns in Europe. There is no firm evidence for why most Little Terns, almost alone among above-ground nesting and colonial seabirds, avoided catching or succumbing to HPAI, but we discuss likely reasons and conclude that their spacing between nests and (unlike the other marine tern species) their tendency to avoid other terns and gulls, means there were few opportunities for spreading the virus.

description: Over 1,700 Great Cormorants died from H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) at 11 breeding colonies in the Baltic Sea region, and one in the North Sea, in summer 2021 and 2022. To determine the nature and impacts of the 2021/2022 HPAI outbreaks on Great Cormorants in the Baltic Sea region. We collected data on HPAI outbreaks in Baltic Great Cormorant colonies through questionnaires, national virological and serological surveys, and avian influenza surveillance databases to better understand the 2021/2022 outbreak. The HPAI H5 clade 2.3.4.4b (goose/Guangdong lineage) caused mortality in five Great Cormorant breeding colonies in Denmark, three in Germany, two in Sweden and single outbreaks in Estonia and Latvia (all ground-nesting colonies). HPAI H5 monitoring of Great Cormorants in Germany since 2006 showed an increasing prevalence from 2022. Great Cormorant H5N1 viruses belonged to a genotype circulating in wild ducks since 2021. After 2021/2022 morbidity and no subsequent outbreaks, breeding colony sizes returned to above-normal levels in 2023. After H5N1 HPAI outbreaks in 11 exclusively ground-nesting colonies of Great Cormorants in the Baltic Sea (and one in the North Sea) in 2022, breeding numbers recovered in 2023. Lack of subsequent mortality suggested immunity, but serological investigations are needed to determine the prevalence of protective antibodies in this and other coastal birds.

description: Bioretention has been noted to be an effective stormwater control measure (SCM). Compost addition to bioretention could be beneficial, but could also act as a source for excess nutrients. This project analyzed possible nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) leaching from bioretention soil media (BSM) amended with source-separated compost. Columns were mixed with compost and BSM at volumes of 30%, and 15%. A final column had 15% compost and an additional 4% water treatment residual (WTR). Synthetic stormwater was applied to each column and the effluent was analyzed for N and P. The 30% column increased the mass exported for both nutrients. Both 15% columns had a net zero effect on nitrogen, but the 15%+WTR column reduced the exported phosphorus load. All compost columns discharged more nutrients than standard BSM. Compost addition should be minimized in bioretention, less than 15% by volume, and WTR should be added to control phosphorus leaching.

description: Studies of the rotation and activity of M type stars are essential to enhance our understanding of stellar dynamos and angular momentum evolution. Using the outstanding photometric capabilities of space telescopes rotation signals even with low amplitudes can be investigated in up to now unrivaled detail. By combining data of K2 and the TESS prime mission the star spot activity of M dwarfs can be monitored on half a decade timescale. In the framework of our study on the rotation-activity relation for bright and nearby M dwarfs we also aim at an investigation of the long-term activity. While K2 was observing fields distributed around the ecliptic plane, the TESS prime mission was oriented along a line of ecliptic longitude with one camera centered on an ecliptic pole. Due to these different observing strategies, the overlap between K2 and the TESS prime mission is marginal. However, 45 stars from our sample were observed with both missions of which two early M-type stars that fulfill our selection criteria, EPIC 202059229 and EPIC 245919787, were analyzed in more detail. We found that for both stars the rotation period did not change while the rotational phase did change for EPIC 245919787 by ~0.2. The amplitude of the spot induced variability changed for both stars but more significant for EPIC 245919787. By comparing the cumulative flare frequency distributions we found that the flare activity for EPIC 202059229 is unchanged while it slightly changes for EPIC 245919787 between the K2 and TESS epochs. Using a combination of light curves from K2 and TESS that span a baseline up to 4.5 years we could measure significant differential rotation for EPIC 245919787. Furthermore, we show that combining missions like K2 and TESS is a promising method for detecting stellar activity cycles.
