description: Glycans are known to be vital in regard to cell - cell communications and biological development. They are molecules that are synthesized sequentially by enzymes (glycosyltransferases), in contrast to template - based synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. Currently, glycan - related data obtained by experimental methods are stored in several databases such as the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) GLYCAN databases, the Consortium for Functional Glycomics (CFG) and GlycomeDB. Databases have developed independently with individual formats to handle a glycan structure. Therefore it has not been not easy for users to compare the information between databases. Another issue has been that the majority of the algorithms for glycoinformatics research have not been developed as tools, and thus biologists in practice cannot apply their original data to useful algorithms. In present work, in order to enable biologists to utilize these important algorithms for glycoscience research, we have developed two major systems. First, we have develop ed RINGS (Resource for I Nformatics of Glycomes at Soka) which provide s web - based tools for glycan structural analysis that use mathematical and data - mining strategies . I have contributed t o the development of a part of RINGS architectur that links web tool systems and RINGS database . I have also developed two tool systems : Glycan Score Matrix and Glycan Kernel Tool , and two utilities, IUPACtoKCF and GlycoCT{condensed}toKCF . Second, we have developed UniCorn database which stores computationally calculated N - glycans based on the known glycosyltransferase activities of humans. I have collected all of the human glycosyltransferase s related to N - glycan biosynthesis from existing databases including KEGG, GGDB, C AZy, CFG and UniProt. Thereafter, I have developed a system for generating theoretical N - glycans. As a result, we were able to generate over 1 million theoretical N - glycan structures which are saved in UniCorn database. Computational models have been developed to aid the reduc tion of cost and save time for predicting features of glycan structures and synthesis pathways . However, there are gaps between in silico and in vivo studies associated with glycanomics research. In this study, we have filled a major gap in glycosciences by developing the first web resource of data mining tools and algorithms focused on glycan structures as well as developing a comprehensive theoretical N - glycan database. We anticipate that this study will play a key role in filling the gaps between glycobiological analyses in vivo and in silico.

description: We consider the setting of a master server who possesses confidential data (genomic, medical data, etc.) and wants to run intensive computations on it, as part of a machine learning algorithm for example. The master wants to distribute these computations to untrusted workers who have volunteered or are incentivized to help with this task. However, the data must be kept private (in an information theoretic sense) and not revealed to the individual workers. The workers may be busy, or even unresponsive, and will take a random time to finish the task assigned to them. We are interested in reducing the aggregate delay experienced by the master. We focus on linear computations as an essential operation in many iterative algorithms. A known solution is to use a linear secret sharing scheme to divide the data into secret shares on which the workers can compute. We propose to use instead new secure codes, called Staircase codes, introduced previously by two of the authors. We study the delay induced by Staircase codes which is always less than that of secret sharing. The reason is that secret sharing schemes need to wait for the responses of a fixed fraction of the workers, whereas Staircase codes offer more flexibility in this respect. For instance, for codes with rate $R=1/2$ Staircase codes can lead to up to $40\%$ reduction in delay compared to secret sharing.

Leadership for professional learning during curriculum reform in early childhood centres in Australia

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The overall aim of this research was to explore the relationship between leadership and professional learning as early childhood educators participated in professional development and learning (PDL) associated with educational reform. This research met a gap in current knowledge as there is limited understanding of how leadership supports educators' learning within the early childhood discipline. In recognising early childhood centres as complex social systems (Hujala, 2002, 2013; Nivala, 2002), social domains theory using an adaptive approach (Layder, 1998, 2013) was utilised in theorising this study. This approach enabled consideration of the influences on educators' social behaviours and the role of agency and structure in the enactment of leadership. Data were collected in two stages; first from focus groups of early childhood centre directors and then from case studies undertaken in early childhood centres. The case studies enabled deeper level exploration of the complexities of organisational life over time. Data collection included both qualitative and quantitative methods that captured the perspectives of all staff. The findings show that the conditions that nurtured educators' professional learning were created through complex interrelationships between leadership, collaborative professional learning and attention to centre organisational systems. A director's capacity to create an enabling professional learning environment included nurturing inclusive, collective and collaborative professional development and learning. Positional leaders also played important roles in translating new knowledge to practice in everyday work with their teams. Leadership was recognised as behaviours, dispositions and interactions that influenced educators towards improving their pedagogical practice. The findings suggested that in responding to the reforms, a shared focus on practice fostered relationships among educators that were primarily of a professional nature which supported the growth of positive professional identity and the emergence of distributed leadership within an early childhood centre. These findings suggested that an inclusive, relational and contextual approach to early childhood leadership may be warranted.
Implementing tree structures via compile-time string interpolation

description: The tree is one of the most useful data structures in computer science, providing a hierarchical structure to data that is easy to search through and manipulate. Construction and deconstruction of tree structures, however, often require a significant amount of code to be written, using language that is often unintuitive. In large scale projects, this can translate into a laborious task, where trees must be defined, created and manipulated by hand. As a tree's complexity increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to read and understand the code within a project. In this regard, it will be examined if a well defined syntax definition will allow tree structures to be expressed in a more intuitive language, that can be easily written in place of regular code.

description: Narratives of food can reveal the rich dimensions of how people construct or repackage ethnicity in the diaspora and identify their place within multicultural Australia. My research centres on the everyday cooking and eating practices of second generation Sinhala Australians who have moved away from their parents’ home and are in families of their own. By doing so, I will explore the cultural transmission of foodways from generation to generation in a multicultural Australia. Using ethnographic methods, this study takes place in the kitchens and eating areas of the homes of the second generation. The kitchen can be viewed as a space that caters to the performance of social values and behaviour of the occupants. Furthermore, material items in these spaces can provide insights on cultural realities. For the second generation, they experience a reflective nostalgia (Boym, 2001) for familiar foods are sparked by contemplating familial relationships, longing of a childhood that is no more, and through the images, sounds and smells in their everyday life that reminds them of the culture that their immigrant parents so adamantly tried to raise them with. In this thesis, I illustrate that the second generation’s everyday cooking and eating practices are shaped into something that works within and reflects their present cultural reality. The embodied sensory memories of Sri Lankan food serve as the catalyst that enables the second generation to make sense of feelings of longing for identity. These nostalgic memories do not represent a yearning for their parents’ homeland, but rather for the socialisation of home.

description: Dynamic and thermal processes regulate the structure of the multi-phase interstellar medium (ISM), and ultimately establish how galaxies evolve through star formation. Thus, to constrain ISM models and better understand the interplay of these processes, it is of great interest to measure the thermal pressure ($P_{\rm th}$) of the diffuse, neutral gas. By combining [C II] 158 $μ$m, HI, and CO data from 31 galaxies selected from the Herschel KINGFISH sample, we have measured thermal pressures in 534 predominantly atomic regions with typical sizes of $\sim$1 kiloparsec. We find a distribution of thermal pressures in the $P_{\rm th}/k\sim10^3-10^5$ K cm$^{-3}$ range. For a sub-sample of regions with conditions similar to those of the diffuse, neutral gas in the Galactic plane, we find thermal pressures that follow a log-normal distribution with a median value of $P_{\rm th}/k\approx3600$ K cm$^{-3}$. These results are consistent with thermal pressure measurements using other observational methods. We find that $P_{\rm th}$ increases with radiation field strength and star formation activity, as expected from the close link between the heating of the gas and the star formation rate. Our thermal pressure measurements fall in the regime where a two-phase ISM with cold and warm neutral medium could exist in pressure equilibrium. Finally, we find that the midplane thermal pressure of the diffuse gas is about $\sim30$% of the vertical weight of the overlying ISM, consistent with results from hydrodynamical simulations of self-regulated star formation in galactic disks.

description: Figure S2. The sections of ovaries in different groups were stained by hematoxylin to detect the morphology. (a) Ovaries at 2 dpp were cultured in media alone (control) or with CDC42 inhibitor ML141 or ZCL278 for 5 days in vitro. The activation of oocytes was remarkably suppressed in ML141 or ZCL278-treated ovaries, and few activated oocytes were observed in these ovaries compared to the control. (b) Ovaries at 1 dpp were injected with Cdc42 esiRNA (Cdc42-KD) and cultured for 6 days. Histological analysis showed that few activated follicles were observed in the Cdc42-KD ovaries compared with the control. (c) Ovaries at 1 dpp were transfected with control empty lentivirus or a lentiviral construct expressing Cdc42 (Cdc42-OE) for 6 days in vitro. Morphological analysis showed that ovaries in the Cdc42-OE group exhibited more activated follicles than the control. The experiments were repeated at least three times, and representative images are shown. Scale bars, 50 μm. (PDF 1389 kb)

Exploring cooperative effects with nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond

description: We present a theoretical study of superradiance with nitrogen-vacancy centres in nanodiamonds. Superradiance is a radiation phenomenon where identical proximal atoms emit photons collectively. A nitrogen-vacancy centre is an \artificial atom" in which indistinguishability cannot be assumed a priori. Nevertheless, superradiance from nitrogen-vacancy centres in nanodiamond has been observed very recently. While a phenomenological model built on Dicke states and the known properties of nitrogen-vacancy centres was able to explain the experimental findings well, many of the microscopic details that introduce distinguishability were not included: (i) photon emission into orientation-dependent superpositions of polarizations, (ii) transition and permanent dipole-dipole interactions, (iii) random distributions of transition frequencies and spatial locations, and (iv) nitrogen-vacancy centres couple to lattice vibrations. These effects are generally expected to diminish superradiance. In this thesis, we develop numerical simulations based on a model which takes these features into account. Our program can, in principle, perform simulations on the emission dynamics of up to 13 centres. Based on the results presented, we conclude that superradiance persists for certain nitrogen-vacancy centre densities, consistent with the experimental findings. Furthermore, our simulation tools provide a theoretical framework to study coherently driven dynamics, other temperature regimes, or use of other colour centres.

description: Due to the current popularity of Social Media and the hyper connectivity fake news currently spreads as ‘digital wildfire’. Gen Z, the population group that suffers the most exposure from fake news because of their vast online presence, is the focus group of this paper. Due to the amounts of data generated by users all over the world, in combination with the evolvement and widespread usage of machine learning to increase personalized desires, fake news is becoming more personalized than ever. This research is interested in the effect of machine learning within fake news on the susceptibility of Gen Z, and the impact that training on machine learning has on this relationship. Therefore, this research conducted in a lab experiment to determine whether training has an impact on the susceptibility, and whether this is a positive or negative impact.
Social environment impacts behavioural development of a family-living lizard

description: For group-living animals social experience during ontogeny is known to influence multiple facets of animal behaviour. Rearing social animals isolated from any conspecific contact can hinder development of behavioural traits, cognitive ability, and social competence. This thesis is an overview of how social environment effects behavioural development in a family-living lizard, Egernia striolata. I experimentally manipulated E. striolata early social environment,and raised skinks either in isolation or in pairs. I began by examining if social environment impacts development of skink behavioural traits across their first year of life. I found strong evidence that skink behavioural development was plastic depending on their social experience, and isolation itself did not hinder E. striolata behaviour in a similar manner as found in previous research. I then assessed how social isolation impacted skink cognitive ability. Contrary to previous research, I found no effect of social environment on individual learning ability in multiple cognitive tasks (e.g., spatial, motor and discrimination tasks). Additionally, juvenile tree skinks did not use social information from adults regardless of their early social environment. Finally, I studied if social environment affects skink social competence using repeated behavioural observations in a laboratory and semi-natural setting. I found that isolated skinks were initially more social than socially-raised skinks, but they decreased in their sociability over time once exposed to a social environment. This is evidence that E. striolata can flexibly alter their social behaviour in response to the environment they are exposed to, even after long-term social isolation. Overall, this thesis presents evidence that isolation rearing does not consistently result in negative impacts on behaviour across all social taxa, and instead, that E. striolata behavioural development responds flexibly, and potentially adaptively, to the social environment in which they are raised.
Superparticle phenomenology from the natural mini-landscape

description: The methodology of the heterotic mini-landscape attempts to zero in on phenomenologically viable corners of the string landscape where the effective low energy theory is the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with localized grand unification. The gaugino mass pattern is that of mirage-mediation. The magnitudes of various SM Yukawa couplings point to a picture where scalar soft SUSY breaking terms are related to the geography of fields in the compactified dimensions. Higgs fields and third generation scalars extend to the bulk and occur in split multiplets with TeV scale soft masses. First and second generation scalars, localized at orbifold fixed points or tori with enhanced symmetry, occur in complete GUT multiplets and have much larger masses. This picture can be matched onto the parameter space of generalized mirage mediation. Naturalness considerations, the requirement of the observed electroweak symmetry breaking pattern, and LHC bounds on m(gluino) together limit the gravitino mass to the m_{3/2}~ 5-60 TeV range. The mirage unification scale is bounded from below with the limit depending on the ratio of squark to gravitino masses. We show that while natural SUSY in this realization may escape detection even at the high luminosity LHC, the high energy LHC with \sqrt{s}=33 TeV could unequivocally confirm or exclude this scenario. It should be possible to detect the expected light higgsinos at the ILC if these are kinematically accessible, and possibly also discriminate the expected compression of gaugino masses in the natural mini-landscape picture from the mass pattern expected in models with gaugino mass unification. The thermal WIMP signal should be accessible via direct detection searches at the multi-ton noble liquid detectors such as Xenon-nT or LZ.

Probing the molecular gas content of normal star-forming galaxies at 3 < z < 3.5 with ALMA

Year: 2020

description: Although the evolution of the star-formation density of the Universe is now reconstructed up to the reionization epoch, the gas reservoir available for star formation and the efficiency of its conversion into stars are still largely unconstrained at z > 3, expecially for galaxies on the star formation main-sequence (MS). Combining ALMA and VLA observations with different spatial resolutions (~0.6'' to 0.2'') we are sampling for the first time the CO emission line spectrum (J=(1-0),(4-3),(5-4)) for a sample of 5 massive (M~10^{10.5} Msun, sSFR~3 Gyr$^{-1}$) MS galaxies at 3 < z < 3.5. This is the largest sample of main sequence galaxies at such redshifts with multiple CO detections, and it constitutes a golden sample with both sub-mm continuum and multiple CO transitions to calibrate the different methods to constrain the cold gas content of normal MS galaxies. The data allow to robustly measure CO luminosities and dynamical masses, and therefore to constrain the alpha_CO parameter. The galaxies turn out to be very gas rich, with gas fractions of 70-90%. By combining 0.2'' and 0.6'' ALMA CO(5-4) observations we robustly measure the total CO flux, as well as its spatial distribution down to 1.5 kpc scales, allowing to obtain resolved maps of gas depletion timescales and gas fractions. We find as well a variety of CO excitation SLEDs, indicating the the sources exciting the CO are diverse.

(CS11) Levadopa Therapy Resulted In A Significant Motor Recovery In Children With Tyrosine Hydroxylase Deficiency: Three Cases From Hospital Kuala Lumpur
Creators: name: Johari, Farah Asyfatin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Introduction: Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) deficiency (OMIM #191290) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from impaired cerebral catecholamine neurotransmitters biosynthesis. It has a broad continuous clinical spectrum, manifesting from infancy to adulthood as progressive encephalopathy, abnormal movements including dystonia and Parkinsonism. Early treatment with Levodopa may prevent these devastating manifestations. We reported here 3 patients with TH deficiency, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing this rare condition, and the favourable therapeutic outcome. Case Presentation : Patient 1, male, presented with unexplained psychomotor delay, limb dystonia, truncal hypotonia, feeding difficulties and oculogyric crises since infancy; was initially diagnosed as cerebral palsy. At five-year old, genetic test revealed 2 pathogenic variants of TH gene: c.698G>A [p.(Arg233His)]; c.1293+5G>C. Patient 2, female sibling of Patient 1, diagnosed at 3 years old following family screening. Patient 3, female, developed encephalopathy, and paroxysmal periods of lethargy alternated with irritability at three-month old. Diagnosis remained elusive after consulting multiple doctors. Finally genetic test was performed at five-months old and 2 pathogenic missense variants were identified in TH gene: c.943G>A [p.(Gly315Ser)]; c.1196C>T [p.(Thr399Met)]. All three patients were treated with levodopa, initiated at very low dose, gradually titrated to the maximal beneficial dose. On follow up, all of them showed a significant motor recovery. Patient 1, currently at nine-years old, is able to ambulate with assistance. Patient 2 (now seven years) and Patient 3 (28 months) are able to walk independently. Conclusion : TH deficiency is a treatable disorder if recognized early and should be considered in children with unexplained neurological symptoms .

Government personnel allowance systems in contemporary China and the Renzong period

description: This thesis considers government personnel allowance systems in contemporary China and the Renzong period. The main aim is to prove that the GPAS should be the main focus of future reforms to public institutions in contemporary China. This research project is significant in the context that the government of China is experiencing a crisis of confidence which is closely linked to the GPAS. This thesis has critically discussed four research questions: why merely cutting FSP cannot reduce the public administrative cost; what disadvantages the GPAS has; how the GPAS is linked to corruption; and why the previous reforms of the GPAS failed. The answers to these questions make this project especially distinctive in its field, because it crosses two disciplines: public administration and ancient Chinese history. Assessing the GPAS of the Renzong period of the Northern Song Dynasty on a comparative basis fulfills the research aim. Hence this thesis can confidently conclude that contemporary China should deepen the reforms of the GPAS.

description: A two dimensional (2D) percolation transition in Fe/W(110) ultrathin magnetic films occurs when islands in the second atomic layer percolate and resolve a frustrated magnetic state to produce long-range in-plane ferromagnetic order. Novel measurements of the magnetic susceptibility $χ(θ)$ as the films are deposited at a constant temperature, allow the long-range percolation transition to be observed as a sharp peak consistent with a critical phase transition. The measurements are used to trace the paramagnetic-to-ferromagnetic phase boundary between the $T=0$ percolation magnetic transition and the thermal Curie magnetic transition of the undiluted film. A quantitative comparison to critical scaling theory is made by fitting the functional form of the phase boundary. The fitted parameters are then used in theoretical expressions for $χ(T)$ in the critical region of the paramagnetic state to provide an excellent, independent representation of the experimental measurements.

description: According to the standard model of cosmology, galaxies are embedded in dark matter halos which are made of particles beyond the standard model of particle physics, thus extending the mass and the size of the visible baryonic matter by typically two orders of magnitude. The observed gas distribution throughout the nearby M81 group of galaxies shows evidence for past significant galaxy--galaxy interactions but without a merger having occurred. This group is here studied for possible dynamical solutions within the dark-matter standard model. In order to cover a comprehensive set of initial conditions, the inner three core members M81, M82 and NGC3077 are treated as a three-body model based on Navarro-Frenk-White profiles. The possible orbits of these galaxies are examined statistically taking into account dynamical friction. Long living, non-merging initial constellations which allow multiple galaxy-galaxy encounters comprise unbound galaxies only, which are arriving from a far distance and happen to simultaneously encounter each other within the recent 500 Myr. Our results are derived by the employment of two separate and independent statistical methods, namely a Markov chain Monte Carlo method and the genetic algorithm using the SAP system environment. The conclusions reached are confirmed by high-resolution simulations of live self-consistent systems (N-body calculations). Given the observed positions of the three galaxies the solutions found comprise predictions for their proper motions.

Kinematics of z~4-6 Lyman Break Galaxies in ALPINE
Creators: name: Jones, Gareth
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: The past century has seen massive improvements in the study of galaxy kinematics. Early work focused on single nearby galaxies, while current studies probe the kinematics of many objects or single objects in greater detail. With the continued use of modern IFUs and interferometers (e.g., SINFONI, ALMA), we may now study the dynamics of galaxies at high redshift. However, the sample of galaxy observations at z>4 that featured the sensitivity and resolution for rotational analysis or resolved dynamical characterization has been small. Even with this limitation, multiple ongoing mergers have been detected at z>5, and slight evidence for ordered rotation is present for some main sequence and starburst galaxies. The ALMA Large Program to INvestigate CII at Early Times (ALPINE) targeted 122 LBGs at z=4-6, representing a vast increase in the sample size of possibly dynamically interesting sources. Initial analysis of this dataset has revealed multiple merging systems, and evidence for rotation in both targeted and serendipitous field galaxies. Current work focuses on simulated observations of model galaxies, in order to test whether intrinsic properties can be extracted from low resolution and low sensitivity observations. The characterization of both dynamically disturbed mergers and relaxed, rotating disks in the epoch between the end of reionization and cosmic noon will be useful for models of galactic evolution.

description: The Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND) is a planned array of ~200 000 radio antennas deployed over ~200 000 km2 in a mountainous site. It aims primarly at detecting high-energy neutrinos via the observation of extensive air showers induced by the decay in the atmosphere of taus produced by the interaction of cosmic neutrinos under the Earth surface. GRAND aims at reaching a neutrino sensitivity of 5.10$^{11}$ E$^{-2}$ GeV$^{-1}$cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$sr$^{-1}$ above 3.10$^{16}$ eV. This ensures the detection of cosmogenic neutrinos in the most pessimistic source models, and ~50 events per year are expected for the standard models. The instrument will also detect UHECRs and possibly FRBs. Here we show how our preliminary design should enable us to reach our sensitivity goals, and discuss the steps to be taken to achieve GRAND.

description: Highly efficient RGO-Ag-TNTs ternary photocatalytic composites were synthesized. In this work, Ag+ ions were implanted into Ti foils to form Ag-doped TNTs, and then GO was reduced to RGO on the surface of Ag-doped TNTs. The properties of Ag-TNTs and RGO-Ag-TNTs were determined using XRD, FESEM, XPS and UV-Vis DRS. The photoelectrochemical performance of those composites was confirmed using current density, transient photocurrent and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activities of the samples were also assessed using the decomposition of methyl orange. The Ag-TNTs sample with an implanted dose of 5 × 1016 ions/cm2 exhibited the best photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic performance. The photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic capabilities of Ag-TNTs were improved further by the deposition of RGO. The outstanding properties of RGO-Ag-TNTs composites are ascribed to the synergism of modulated band structure of Ag-TNTs and the excellent electronic conductivity of the deposited RGO sheets.

description: Using the Bogoliubov de-Gennes formalism, we investigate the charge and spin-dependent thermoelectric effects in superconductor graphene junctions. Results demonstrate that despite normal-superconductor junctions, there is a temperature-dependent spin thermopower both in the graphene-based ferromagnetic-superconductor (F-S) and ferromagnetic-Rashba spin-orbit region-superconductor (F-RSO-S) junctions. It is also shown that in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction, the charge and spin-dependent Seebeck coefficients can reach to their maximum up to 3.5$k_B/e$ and 2.5$k_B/e$, respectively. Remarkably, these coefficients have a zero-point critical value with respect to magnetic exchange field and chemical potential. This effect disappears when the Rashba coupling is absent. These results suggest that graphene-based superconductors can be used in spin-caloritronics devices.

description: Current and future climate change will have profound impacts on species interactions and communities. This thesis investigates the community structure and composition of insect communities on Australian native plant species, with the ultimate aim of predicting possible impacts of climate change. To this end, three topics were investigated: firstly the Coleoptera and Hemiptera fauna associated with several host plant species from three important Australian plant families were assessed across the plant species' native range, in terms of morphospecies composition and feeding guild structure. Secondly, possible impacts of climate change on these communities were investigated using a multispecies transplant experiment, in which plants were planted into sites that are approximately 3°C warmer, in terms of mean annual temperature. Thirdly, levels of total leaf herbivory and damage types were assessed on plant species, both across the current range and within the transplant experiment. Assessments of the Coleoptera and Hemiptera fauna across the plant species native range revealed little commonality, in terms of morphospecies composition and feeding guild structure, among plant species within each family. This was reflected by herbivory patterns, which were species-specific and characterised by changes in dominant feeding types among plant species. The assessment of potential impacts of a warmer climate on these plant-insect communities via the transplant experiment showed that for each individual plant species, Coleoptera and Hemiptera community composition may undergo significant turnover, whereas herbivore feeding guild structure may remain relatively unchanged. This relative stability between host plants and their phytophagous guilds was reflected by largely consistent patterns of leaf herbivory between native and warmer sites. We conclude that transplant experiments provide a powerful means of exploring the impacts on natural systems of a rapidly changing climate.
Supplementary Tables from Masking of an auditory behaviour reveals how male mosquitoes use distortion to detect females

description: The mating behaviour of many mosquito species is mediated essentially by sound: males follow and mate with a female mid-flight by detecting and tracking the whine of her flight-tones. The stereotypical rapid frequency modulation (RFM) male behaviour, initiated in response to the detection of the female's flight-tones, has provided a means of investigating these auditory mechanisms while males are free-flying. Mosquitoes hear with their antennae, which vibrate to near-field acoustic excitation. The antennae generate nonlinear vibrations (distortion products, DPs) at frequencies that are equal to the difference between the two simultaneously presented tones, e.g. the male and female flight-tones, which are detected by mechanoreceptors in the auditory Johnston's organ (JO) at the base of the antenna. Recent studies indicated the male mosquito's JO is tuned not to the female flight-tone, but to the frequency difference between the male and female flight-tones. To test the hypothesis that mosquitoes detect this frequency difference, Culex quinquefasciatus males were presented simultaneously with a female flight-tone and a masking tone, which should suppress the male's RFM response to sound. The free-flight behavioural and in vivo electrophysiological experiments revealed that acoustic masking suppresses the RFM response to the female's flight-tones by attenuating the DPs generated in the nonlinear vibration of the antennae. These findings provide direct evidence in support of the hypothesis that male mosquitoes detect females when both are in flight through difference tones generated in the vibrations of their antennae due to the interaction between their own flight-tones and those of a female.
