description: In this work, we implement a complex scalar Dark Matter (DM) candidate in a $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge extension of the Standard Model. The model contains three right handed neutrinos with different quantum numbers and a rich scalar sector, with extra doublets and singlets. In principle, these extra scalars can have VEVs ($V_Φ$ and $V_ϕ$ for the extra doublets and singlets, respectively) belonging to different energy scales. In the context of $ζ\equiv\frac{V_Φ}{V_ϕ}\ll1$, which allows to obtain naturally light active neutrino masses and mixing compatible with neutrino experiments, the DM candidate arises by imposing a $Z_{2}$ symmetry on a given complex singlet, $ϕ_{2}$, in order to make it stable. After doing a study of the scalar potential and the gauge sector, we obtain all the DM dominant processes concerning the relic abundance and direct detection. Then, for a representative set of parameters, we found that a complex DM with mass around $200$ GeV, for example, is compatible with the current experimental constraints without resorting to resonances. However, additional compatible solutions with heavier masses can be found in vicinities of resonances. Finally, we address the issue of having a light CP-odd scalar in the model showing that it is safe concerning the Higgs and the $Z_μ$ boson invisible decay widths, and also the energy loss in stars astrophysical constraints.

description: As a vital indicator for measuring urban development, urban areas are expected to be identified explicitly and conveniently with widely available dataset thereby benefiting the planning decisions and relevant urban studies. Existing approaches to identify urban areas normally based on mid-resolution sensing dataset, socioeconomic information (e.g. population density) generally associate with low-resolution in space, e.g. cells with several square kilometers or even larger towns/wards. Yet, few of them pay attention to defining urban areas with micro data in a fine-scaled manner with large extend scale by incorporating the morphological and functional characteristics. This paper investigates an automated framework to delineate urban areas in the parcel level, using increasingly available ordnance surveys for generating all parcels (or geo-units) and ubiquitous points of interest (POIs) for inferring density of each parcel. A vector cellular automata model was adopted for identifying urban parcels from all generated parcels, taking into account density, neighborhood condition, and other spatial variables of each parcel. We applied this approach for mapping urban areas of all 654 Chinese cities and compared them with those interpreted from mid-resolution remote sensing images and inferred by population density and road intersections. Our proposed framework is proved to be more straight-forward, time-saving and fine-scaled, compared with other existing ones, and reclaim the need for consistency, efficiency and availability in defining urban areas with well-consideration of omnipresent spatial and functional factors across cities.

description: Large-scale entanglement of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond will require integration of NV centers with optical networks. Toward this goal, we present the fabrication of single-crystalline gallium phosphide (GaP) resonator-waveguide coupled structures on diamond. We demonstrate coupling between 1 μm diameter GaP disk resonators and waveguides with a loaded Q factor of 3,800, and evaluate their potential for efficient photon collection if integrated with single photon emitters. This work opens a path toward scalable NV entanglement in the hybrid GaP/diamond platform, with the potential to integrate on-chip photon collection, switching, and detection for applications in quantum information processing.

Effective Decontamination of Laboratory Animal Rooms with Vapour-phase (“Vaporized”) Hydrogen Peroxide and Peracetic Acid
Creators: name: Kimura, Tohru
Publisher: name: Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Sciences
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the decontaminant effects of vapour-phase hydrogen peroxide (VHP) and peracetic acid (PAA) in laboratory animal rooms. Methodologically and microbiologically, both methods were evaluated as an alternative to traditional methods. In the VHP decontamination process, the cycle consisted of 4 phases (dehumidification, conditioning, decontamination and aeration). The residual vapour was catalytically decomposed into water and oxygen. The complete process of room decontamination with VHP took 14-15 hours. In PAA decontamination, the dry fog system produced very fine droplets of disinfectant that were dispersed throughout the laboratory animal rooms. The overall decontamination process by PAA mist took 3 hours, which was much faster than VHP decontamination. In both methods, no corrosion appeared on the material surfaces. The results of chemical and biological indicators showed complete decontamination after exposure to VHP and PAA fumigation. In the airborne microbiological examinations, total colony counts for the surface and environmental microorganisms were minimal. There were no significant differences between VHP and PAA fumigation. In laboratory facilities, conventional decontaminating methods will be gradually converted into VHP or PAA decontamination. This experiment confirmed that the VHP method is suitable for the decontamination of a relatively limited space whereas the PAA method is applicable to the rapid decontamination of spacious laboratory animal rooms. In conclusion, decontamination with VHP and PAA holds great promise as an effective alternative to currently used formaldehyde fumigation.

Likelihood analysis of earthquake focal mechanism distributions

description: In our paper published earlier we discussed forecasts of earthquake focal mechanism and ways to test the forecast efficiency. Several verification methods were proposed, but they were based on ad-hoc, empirical assumptions, thus their performance is questionable. In this work we apply a conventional likelihood method to measure a skill of forecast. The advantage of such an approach is that earthquake rate prediction can in principle be adequately combined with focal mechanism forecast, if both are based on the likelihood scores, resulting in a general forecast optimization. To calculate the likelihood score we need to compare actual forecasts or occurrences of predicted events with the null hypothesis that the mechanism's 3-D orientation is random. For double-couple source orientation the random probability distribution function is not uniform, which complicates the calculation of the likelihood value. To better understand the resulting complexities we calculate the information (likelihood) score for two rotational distributions (Cauchy and von Mises-Fisher), which are used to approximate earthquake source orientation pattern. We then calculate the likelihood score for earthquake source forecasts and for their validation by future seismicity data. Several issues need to be explored when analyzing observational results: their dependence on forecast and data resolution, internal dependence of scores on forecasted angle, and random variability of likelihood scores. In this work we propose a preliminary solution to these complex problems, as these issues need to be explored by a more extensive statistical analysis.

description: The present study aimed to develop a method for testing pain-related behaviour induced by formalin in the Speke’s hingeback tortoise (Kinixys spekii). These animals retract their head and limbs into their shell when approached, making behavioural testing almost impossible. It was found that suspending the animals in the air, facing away from the observer, made the animals keep their limbs out of the shell. Subcutaneous injection of formalin induced easily identifiable and quantifiable behaviours that lasted for 20 minutes. Contrary to the biphasic effect of formalin observed in rats and mice, the response in tortoises was monophasic. The suspended formalin test may be useful for studying nociceptive mechanisms in tortoises, which in turn will be important for a further understanding of the nociceptive system in reptiles as well as in mammals.

description: Climate change poses a significant threat to agricultural crops worldwide. To address this, scientists are working on breeding crops that can withstand various stresses. Heat-tolerant rice is in high demand, and potential heat tolerance genes may be found in weedy rice. In this study, 180 weedy rice types were tested for heat stress tolerance. Five heat-tolerant and five heat-susceptible samples were examined using different tests. The results showed that the heat-tolerant accessions performed better. Genome sequencing revealed beneficial mutations in heat shock factors and heat shock proteins. Transcriptome analysis identified genes involved in heat stress response. Key candidates for heat tolerance were identified, shedding light on the mechanisms behind heat stress resilience in weedy rice.

description: We evaluated the effect of modified Tapvei OÜ stairs (stairs) on the behaviour of female C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice in the elevated plus-maze (EPM) test. The mice were kept under standard conditions for 4 weeks (control) or exposed to stairs for 3 or 4 weeks, and were assessed thereafter with the EPM. The C57BL/6 mice displayed less anxiety, when compared with the BALB/c mice. Exposure to stairs had an anxiolytic effect in C57BL/6 mice, but not in BALB/c. The strain-dependent effects of stairs should be considered in the design of housing refinements and behavioural experiments.

description: A process for the preparation of Holetta 1 mustard protein isolate, comprising steps such as ground the seed, removal of oil with hexane, followed by extraction at alkaline pH 10, 11 and 12. The protein was subjected to separation by centrifugation, neutralization, washing and freeze-drying. The parameters evaluated were protein yield, purity and presence of some antinutritional factors. The protein yield was 56-80%.The purity of the protein isolate was 73.29%, 75.40% and 68.225 at pH value of 10, 11 and 12 respectively. The antinutritional factors levels of defatted meal was as follows, glucosinolates represents 5.1%, phytate was 3.19% and tannins was 0.35% but after processing its value was 0.013%, 0.035 and 0.65% at pH10, 0.012%, 0.03% and 0.75% at pH11 and 0.02%, 0.215% and 1.45% at pH12 respectively. The lowest protein solubility was achieved at pH 5.some functional properties such as water adsorption(WA), fat adsorption (FA), emulsifying activiy (EA) and foaming capacity (FC) were evaluated.Holetta1 mustard defatted meal were compared with soybean meal in terms of functional properties. The tested result showed a high water absorbtion and was superior to soybean meal in FA, EA and foaming properties.

description: We study the superdeformed (SD) states and corresponding SD hypernuclei of Ar isotopes with the multidimensionally-constrained relativistic mean field (MDC-RMF) models which can accommodate various shape degree of freedom. %The hyperon-nucleon $σ$-$Λ$ and $ω$-$Λ$ interactions are introduced %in the same covariant framework. We found that the density profiles of SD states in Ar isotopes show a strong localization with a ring structure near the surface, while the central part of the density is dilute showing a hole structure. This localization of SD density induces an appreciable deformation in the hyperon wave function and results in a large overlap between the core and the hyperon in the SD hypernuclei of Ar isotopes. Then the $Λ$ separation energy of SD state becomes larger than that of normally deformed or spherical ground state. This feature is different from that found in other nuclei such as $^{32}$S, $^{56}$Ni, and $^{60}$Zn in which the $Λ$ separation energy of larger deformed state is smaller. In this context, the measurement of the $Λ$ separation energy may provide an important information on the localization of the density profile of SD states.

description: Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis are two of the best-studied prokaryotic model organisms. Previous analyses of their transcriptional regulatory networks have shown that they exhibit high plasticity during evolution and suggested that both converge to scale-free-like structures. Nevertheless, beyond this suggestion, no analyses have been carried out to identify the common systems-level components and principles governing these organisms. Here we show that these two phylogenetically distant organisms follow a set of common novel biologically consistent systems principles revealed by the mathematically and biologically founded natural decomposition approach. The discovered common functional architecture is a diamond-shaped, matryoshka-like, three-layer (coordination, processing, and integration) hierarchy exhibiting feedback, which is shaped by four systems-level components: global transcription factors (global TFs), locally autonomous modules, basal machinery and intermodular genes. The first mathematical criterion to identify global TFs, the $κ$-value, was reassessed on B. subtilis and confirmed its high predictive power by identifying all the previously reported, plus three potential, master regulators and eight sigma factors. The functional conserved cores of modules, basal cell machinery, and a set of non-orthologous common physiological global responses were identified via both orthologous genes and non-orthologous conserved functions. This study reveals novel common systems principles maintained between two phylogenetically distant organisms and provides a comparison of their lifestyle adaptations. Our results shed new light on the systems-level principles and the fundamental functions required by bacteria to sustain life.

description: Two alternative rat cages and their effect on home cage physical and social activity were evaluated in male Sprague Dawley (SPD) and Spontaneously Hypertensive (SH) rats for 10 weeks. Rats were housed strainwise in pairs in ST cages, in groups of eight in Enriched Rat Cage System (ERC) equipped with a shelter and wall-hung ladders, and in groups of eight in four interconnected Scantainer NOVO cages (NOVO), equipped with shelves. Home cage activity was assessed through direct observations and effects were studied in exercise tests, parameters related to physical activity and in the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM). Effects of within-group variation on the minimum sample size needed to detect a treatment effect were calculated for the different cage types. The home cage activity was highest in NOVO cages, followed by the ERC cages. This was supported by the higher locomotor and exploratory activity in the EPM and an improved performance in the last exercise test, compared to ST-caged rats. Aggressive and submissive interactions were higher in NOVO cages compared to ST cages. The design of the NOVO cages, if connected, might induce both a higher activity level and more aggression. The hypertension and insulin resistance typical of the hypertensive rat model were not influenced by an increased home cage activity. No major effects of alternative cage types were found on within-group variation. The activity was not enough to create a distinct training effect but prevented exercise-related parameters from deteriorating during the study and is therefore still relevant for the health and welfare of the animals. Additional benefits of the alternative cages are qualitative, since they stimulate a wider range of behaviours, social interactions and offer possibilities for the rats to control their situation.

The Effects of Housing on Food and Water Consumption in Da-Rats

Publisher: name: Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Sciences
Year: 2014

description: According to European legislation rodents should be housed in stable harmonized groups with enrichment; a principle, which may, however, frequently be disregarded to fulfil the needs of the study. Especially in feeding studies it is necessary to house the animals individually. Literature on single housing shows an inconclusive picture, and it seems as if a range of other factors and not just single housing itself, affect the outcome of the studies on single housed rats. Therefore the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of single housing, enrichment and gender on the daily intake of food and water in rats. Twelve male and twelve female rats (DA/Sac) were housed either in groups or individually with or without enrichment and the daily food and water consumption was analyzed by the use of digital feeding stations. There was a significant difference between the two genders of DA rats in their eating and drinking behavior, whereas social environment only seemed to affect the eating and drinking behavior to a minor extent, while enrichment did not have an effect by itself on either of the parameters.

description: Quantum metrology allows for a huge boost in the precision of parameters estimation. However, it seems to be extremely sensitive on the noise. Bound entangled states are states with large amount of noise what makes them unusable for almost all quantum informational tasks. Here we provide a counterintuitive example of a family of bound entangled states which can be used in quantum enhanced metrology. We show that these states give advantage as big as maximally entangled states and asymptotically reach the Heisenberg limit. Moreover, entanglement of the applied states is very weak which is reflected by its so called unlockability poperty. Finally, we find instances where behaviour of Quantum Fisher Information reports presence of bound entanglement while a well-known class of strong correlation Bell inequality does not. The question rises of whether (and if so, then to what degree) violation of local realism is required for the sub-shot noise precision in quantum metrology.

description: A porcine model of acute Escherichia coli pyelonephritis is described. Nine female pigs with a mean weight of 19 kg were included in the study. Following laparotomy and ureterotomy, catheters were placed bilaterally in the renal pelvis. A culture of a porcine E. coli strain (109 CFU/mL, volume 3.25 mL) was inoculated unilaterally in the renal pelvis. Following bacterial inoculation, the catheter was occluded for 20 min. The inoculation procedure was repeated after two and four hrs. The contralateral kidneys served as controls and were inoculated with sterile saline. Six hrs after the first inoculation pigs were euthanized and samples of blood, abdominal swabs, urine and specimens from kidney, liver and spleen were cultured. The inflammatory response in the kidneys, renal lymph nodes, liver and spleen was evaluated both macroscopically and histologically and E. coli was identified by immunohistochemistry. E. coli was reisolated from all the inoculated kidneys and was detected immunohistochemically in all inoculated kidneys, in four renal lymph nodes from inoculated sides and in four spleens. Evidence of systemic bacterial spread was observed in five pigs. Gross and histological lesions of acute pyelonephritis comparable to human cases were demonstrated in all but one inoculated kidney. In conclusion, a novel porcine model for evaluating the pathogenesis of acute pyelonephritis was established.

description: Since 1986, when the Council of Europe gave the first provisions for housing of laboratory animals, the focus on housing conditions has increased with emphasis on the size of primary enclosures such as cages or pens as well as the complexity of the enclosure. Today European legislation dictates the minimum amount of enrichment to be present in cages for different species. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different enrichment schemes on growth rate, water consumption, muscle strength and preference in rats, after items such as hides, nesting material, increased cage height and shelves had been introduced to the cage environment. The study demonstrated that rats spend more time in the extra-enriched cages compared to the non-enriched cages, whereas no differences in the dwelling time between the two types of enriched cages could be detected. When present in the cage, the built-in shelf was used extensively (over 40% of the observations) although no specific preference for the extra-enriched cage was detected. No differences in weight gain and water consumption could be detected between rats in the three different housing conditions, although there was a slight increase in muscle strength for the standard-enriched housed rats.

description: The cosmological entropy production is studied in the (1+3+6)-dimensional space-times consisting of the outer space (the 3-dimensional expanding section) and the inner space (the 6-dimensional section). The inner space expands initially and contracts later. First it is shown how the production of the 3-dimensional entropy S_3 within the horizon is strengthened by the dissipation due to viscous processes between the two spaces, in which we consider the viscosity caused by the gravitational-wave transport. Next it is shown under what conditions we can have the critical epoch when S_3 reaches the value 10^{88} in the Guth level and at the same time the outer space is decoupled from the inner space. Moreover, the total entropy S_9 in the 9-dimensional space at the primeval expanding stage is also shown corresponding to S_3.

description: Six traditional behavioural tests were done to evaluate the impact of inanimate enrichment on group housed animals. The study was performed in three parts to prevent the animals’ previous experience influencing the behavioural tests. Three traditional housing environments with increasing levels of standardized inanimate enrichment were evaluated with regard to the effect on activity, fear, learning and memory abilities in socially housed rats. The basic activity level of the animals was assessed using the open-field test. This test was combined with an amphetamine challenge test. The level of anxiety was evaluated by use of the elevated plus maze test. Secondly, a Morris water maze study was done to assess spatial learning abilities. Thirdly, two more complex learning ability tests were performed, namely the water Y-maze and the conditioned avoidance task. The different housing conditions did not influence the level of activity, the level of anxiety or the response to amphetamine. Neither did the differences in housing conditions influence the learning abilities of the animals in the Morris water maze or the Y-maze. However, in the conditioned avoidance task, rats housed in the extra-enriched environment demonstrated significantly fewer avoidances than rats housed under nonenriched conditions.

description: We study and utilize duality transformations in a particular STU-model of four dimensional gauged supergravity. This model is a truncation of the de Wit-Nicolai N=8 theory and as such has a lift to eleven-dimensional supergravity on the seven-sphere. Our duality group is $U(1)^3$ and while it can be applied to any solution of this theory, we consider the known asymptotically AdS$_4$, supersymmetric black holes and focus on duality transformations which preserve supersymmetry. For static black holes we generalize the supersymmetric solutions of Cacciatori and Klemm from three magnetic charges to include two additional electric charges and argue that this is co-dimension one in the full space of supersymmetric static black holes in the STU-model. These new static black holes have nontrivial profiles for axions. For rotating black holes, we generalize the known two-parameter supersymmetric solution to include an additional parameter which represents scalar hair. When lifted to M-theory, these black holes correspond to the near horizon geometry of a stack of BPS rotating M2-branes, spinning on an $S^7$ which is fibered non-trivially over a Riemann surface.

description: Inhalation anaesthesia in small laboratory rodents has become very popular in Biomedical Research. A common method to deliver volatile anesthetic agents is through a face mask. The main disadvantage of this method is the exposure of personnel to anaesthetic agents. The authors describe a low-cost face mask, made with materials commonly accessible in the operating room that can be connected to an anaesthetic machine eliminating personnel exposure to hazardous levels of anaesthetic agents and allowing for effective adjustments to the anaesthetic depth.

description: The single-dose disposition kinetics of orbifloxacin was determined in clinically healthy and diabetic rats after intravenous or oral administration of 5 mg/kg body weight. Orbifloxacin concentrations were determined by HPLC with fluorescence detection. The HPLC method was sensitive, specific and repeatable. A systemic bioavailability of 99.1% and 108 %, and a Cmax of 6.55 } 1.09 μg /mL and 8.63 } 1.09 μg /mL were observed in healthy and diabetic rats, respectively. The terminal half-life after intravenous and oral administration was 4.17 } 0.38 h and 4.03 } 0.41 h for healthy and 2.31 } 0.34 h and 3.03 } 0.28 h for diabetic rats. Orbifloxacin was cleared more rapidly in diabetic rats (0.15 } 0.01 L/kg.h) than healthy group (0.11 } 0.01 L/kg.h), with longer mean resident time (MRT) values observed in the latter. Other kinetic parameters were almost the same between the healthy and diabetic groups. This investigation revealed that a dose of 5 mg/kg orbifloxacin can be safely and effectively used to combat infections in rats of either group associated with susceptible bacteria.

description: HARPS and it Kepler results indicate that half of solar-type stars host planets with periods P<100 d and masses M < 30 M_E. These super Earth systems are compact and dynamically cold. Here we investigate the stability of the super Earth system around the K-dwarf HD40307. It could host up to six planets, with one in the habitable zone. We analyse the system's stability using numerical simulations from initial conditions within the observational uncertainties. The most stable solution deviates 3.1 sigma from the published value, with planets e and f not in resonance and planets b and c apsidally aligned. We study the habitability of the outer planet through the yearly-averaged insolation and black-body temperature at the pole. Both undergo large variations because of its high eccentricity and are much more intense than on Earth. The insolation variations are precession dominated with periods of 40 kyr and 102 kyr for precession and obliquity if the rotation period is 3 d. A rotation period of about 1.5 d could cause extreme obliquity variations because of capture in a Cassini state. For faster rotation rates the periods converge to 10 kyr and 20 kyr. The large uncertainty in the precession period does not change the overall outcome.

description: Building trajectories for biped robot walking is a complex task considering all degrees of freedom (DOFs) commonly bound within the mechanical structure. A typical problem for such robots is the instability produced by violent transitions between walking phases in particular when a swinging leg impacts the surface. Although extensive research on novel efficient walking algorithms has been conducted, falls commonly appear as the walking speed increases or as the terrain condition changes. This paper presents a polynomial trajectory generation algorithm (PTA) to implement the walking on biped robots following the cubic Hermitian polynomial interpolation between initial and final conditions. The proposed algorithm allows smooth transitions between walking phases, significantly reducing the possibility of falling. The algorithm has been successfully tested by generating walking trajectories under different terrain conditions on a biped robot of 10 DOFs. PTA has shown to be simple and suitable to generate real time walking trajectories, despite reduced computing resources of a commercial embedded microcontroller. Experimental evidence and comparisons to other state-of-the-art methods demonstrates a better performance of the proposed method in generating walking trajectories under different ground conditions.

Pneumocystis Murina Infection in Immunodeficient Mice in a Closed Barrier Unit: a Case Report
Creators: name: Dagnæs-Hansen, Frederik
name: Poulsen, Knud
Publisher: name: Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Sciences
Year: 2014

description: Pneumocystis is an important pathogen in immunocompromised individuals. In colonies of immunodeficient mice, P. murina can cause wasting disease and make the breeding and maintenance of immunodeficient animals difficult, unless they are continuously treated with sulfadiazin/trimethoprim. At University of Aarhus immunodeficient and immunocompetent mice were co-housed in a barrier unit. The facility was closed for entrance of animals (except for embryos for embryo transfer) and the entrance for personnel was highly restricted. The breeding performance of immunodeficient animals was comparable to that of the immunocompetent mice for a period of more than 3 years, until wasting disease and decreased litter size specifically in the breeding colony of immunodeficient mice occurred. Clinical symptoms of affected mice included laboured breathing, hunched up position, unwillingness to move, and ruffled coat. Pneumocystis infection was confirmed by histological examination and PCR. The partial sequence of the mitochondrial large subunit rRNA gene obtained (GenBank accession no AF548626) displayed 99 % identity to that of Pneumocystis murina (formerly Pneumocystis carinii f.sp.muris) found in laboratory mice. The immunodeficient animals were removed from the barrier and treated with sulfadiazin/trimethoprim in a separate unit. After the removal of immunodeficient animals, Pneumocystis could not be detected by PCR in the remaining animals. Our data add to the growing evidence that immunocompetent animals harboring Pneumocystis as a subclinical infection may be reservoirs for this organism. Still it remains to be determined how the infection was introduced and whether a latent infection can persist or the outbreak was caused by leakage in the barrier.

description: In this paper, we re-analyze the $1^{-+}$ and $0^{++}$ light hybrids from QCD sum rules with a Monte-Carlo based uncertainty analysis. With $30\%$ uncertainties in the accepted central values for QCD condensates and other input parameters, we obtain a prediction on $1^{-+}$ hybrid mass of $1.71 \pm 0.22$\,GeV, which covers the mass of $π_1(1600)$. However, the $0^{++}$ hybrid mass prediction is more than 4\,GeV, which is far away from any known $a_0$ meson. We also study the correlations between the input and output parameters of QCD sum rules.
