Unexpected neutron/proton ratio and isospin effect in low-energy antiproton induced reactions

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The inclusive spectra of preequilibrium nucleons produced in low-energy antiproton-nucleus collisions are thoroughly investigated within the framework of the Lanzhou quantum molecular dynamics model for the first time. All possible reaction channels such as elastic scattering, annihilation, charge exchange and inelastic scattering in antibaryon-baryon, baryon-baryon and meson-baryon collisions have been included in the transport model. The unexpected neutron/proton ratio in comparison to the pion and proton induced reactions is caused from the isospin effects of pion-nucleon collisions and the density dependence of symmetry energy. It is found that the $π^{-}$-neutron collisions enhance the neutron emission in the antiproton annihilation in a nucleus. Different to heavy-ion collisions, the isospin effects are pronounced at the low kinetic energies. A soft symmetry energy with the stiffness of $γ_{s}=$0.5 at subsaturation densities is constrained from the available data of the neutron/proton spectra.

title: Discarding Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) through low salinity layers - mortality and damage seen in simulation experiments

Subjects: Fisheries and aquaculture

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Kattegat/Skagerrack Nephrops fishery is unusual in that animals normally live in high salinities (33-34‰) but are raised through a low salinity surface layer and, if discarded, descend back through it to the seabed. In other open-sea Nephrops fisheries, such low salinity exposure is rare. Physiologically the species is described as being marine stenohaline i.e. intolerant of reduced salinities. A lower limit of 29 - 30‰ for its distribution has been suggested. Using CTD data from Anholt E and Fladen hydrographic stations, near to known Nephrops grounds, a knowledge of hauling times (including washing the cod-end with surface water) and sinking rates, we simulated conditions experienced by the catch in this fishery. We also included a period of 'emersion' (air exposure) on deck during sorting or reshooting the trawl. Blood electrolytes, body mass changes and simple behavioural responses were examined over a 4/5 day period. 'Discarded' Nephrops experienced significant haemodilution and gained water rapidly. Animals showed slow rates of 'tail-flipping', or absence of responses to stimulation, in the period immediately following return to 33‰ seawater, although many showed recovery later. Delayed effects included abdominal stiffness, swelling and further mortalities (25 - 42% overall). Controls (exposed to 33‰ seawater only) showed good survival and vigorous responses, even with a period of emersion. The effects of salinity exposure, additional to the stresses of being trawled, on the fitness of discarded animals is evaluated.
The bosonic string on string-size tori from double field theory

description: We construct the effective action for toroidal compactifications of bosonic string theory from generalized Scherk-Schwarz reductions of double field theory. The enhanced gauge symmetry arising at special points in moduli space is incorporated into this framework by promoting the $O(k,k)$ duality group of $k$-tori compactifications to $O(n,n)$, $n$ being the dimension of the enhanced gauge group, which allows to account for the full massless sector of the theory. We show that the effective action reproduces the right masses of scalar and vector fields when moving sligthly away from the points of maximal symmetry enhancement. The neighborhood of the enhancement points in moduli space can be neatly explored by spontaneous symmetry breaking. We generically discuss toroidal compactifications of arbitrary dimensions and maximally enhanced gauge groups, and then inspect more closely the example of $T^2$ at the $SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R$ point, which is the simplest setup containing all the non trivialities of the generic case. We show that the entire moduli space can be described in a unified way by considering compactifications on higher dimensional tori.

description: Purpose: To assess the factor structure, related constructs and internal consistency of the Child Activity Limitation Interview 21-Child version for use in Dutch-language countries. Methods: Cross-sectional validation study: After forward and back translation of the Dutch version of the Child Activity Limitation Interview 21-Child adolescents (11–21 years old) with chronic musculoskeletal pain completed an assessment. The assessment contained the Dutch Child Activity Limitation Interview, and questionnaires about demographics, pain intensity, functional disability, anxiety and depression. Internal consistency and construct validity were evaluated through exploratory factor analysis (principal axis factoring with oblique rotation) and hypotheses testing using pain intensity, activity limitations, anxiety and depression as comparative constructs. Results: Seventy-four adolescents completed the assessment. Exploratory factor analysis resulted in a two-factor structure, explaining 50% of the variance. Internal consistency was good (Cronbach’s α = 0.91 total scale, α = 0.90 Factor 1, α = 0.80 Factor 2). All nine hypotheses were confirmed. Conclusion: The Dutch version can be used to assess pain-related disability in Dutch-speaking adolescents comparable to the study sample. Scores on both subscales provide insight into the severity of the pain-related disability in both daily routine and more physically vigorous activities.Implications for RehabilitationChronic pain is a disabling disorder which not only impacts physically but restricts quality of life.This study provides clinicians a questionnaire to measure pain-related disability and quantify the impact of pain on the daily living of adolescents.The advantage of the Dutch version of the Child Activity and Limitations Interview over other measurements is that it can distinguish limitations in daily activities from more physically vigorous activities.

description: The primordial deuterium abundance probes fundamental physics during the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and can be used to infer cosmological parameters. Observationally, the abundance can be measured using absorbing clouds along the lines of sight to distant quasars. Observations of the quasar PKS1937--101 contain two absorbers for which the deuterium abundance has previously been determined. Here we focus on the higher redshift one at $z_{abs} = 3.572$. We present new observations with significantly increased signal-to-noise ratio which enable a far more precise and robust measurement of the deuterium to hydrogen column density ratio, resulting in D/H = $2.62\pm0.05\times10^{-5}$. This particular measurement is of interest because it is among the most precise assessments to date and it has been derived from the second lowest column-density absorber [N(HI) $=17.9\mathrm{cm}^{-2}$] that has so-far been utilised for deuterium abundance measurements. The majority of existing high-precision measurements were obtained from considerably higher column density systems [i.e. N(HI) $>19.4\mathrm{cm}^{-2}$]. This bodes well for future observations as low column density systems are more common.

description: Quebec is a selenium-deficient area (0.06 - 0.33 ppm) and most dairy farmers supplement their cows' rations with an inorganic form of selenium (Se); however, several studies have shown that organic Se is more effective in preventing mastitis, although most of these studies were conducted under controlled conditions with a limited number of cows. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of organic and inorganic Se on somatic cell count (as an indication ofmastitis) for a large number of cows under field conditions.

description: Robotic or automated milking systems (AMS) are being introduced as an alternative to conventional milking systems. Investment in an AMS may be advantageous for some dairy farmers, particularly in terms of reducing labor costs and shifting labor from the repetitive, physical task of milking to other areas of farm management. Research on the effect of AMS on udder health has focused on somatic cell count measures. Theoretically, the consistency of milking hygiene practices is improved with AMSs, where quarters are milked individually, pre-milking stimulation, and preand post-milking teat disinfection are applied uniformly, and individual quarter milking teat cups are sanitized between cows. These AMS factors should contribute to the control of the transmission of contagious mastitis pathogens; however, to our knowledge, no study has been conducted to quantify the dynamics of mastitis pathogen transmission in AMS under field conditions. The objectives of this study were to describe the transmission dynamics of Staphylococcus aureus intramammary infections (IMI) in dairy herd with an AMS and to estimate the diversity of S. aureus strains in that herd by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of selected isolates.

description: Although many antimicrobial susceptibility reports have been published that include mastitis pathogens, few have compared susceptibility trends over time and geographical areas. In 2001, Pfizer Animal Health (PAH) initiated a pilot susceptibility surveillance program, and requested that six veterinary diagnostic laboratories submit bacterial pathogens isolated from naturally occurring mastitis infections for susceptibility testing at PAR. That year, 354 pathogens were tested. The program has grown and more than 1,200 isolates are tested each year. Results of ceftiofur activity against mastitis pathogens for the years 2002 to 2010 are reported here. SPECTRAMAST® was approved in 2005 for the treatment of clinical mastitis associated with coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), Strep. dysgalactiae, and Escherichia coli in lactating dairy cattle and for the treatment of subclinical mastitis associated with Staphylococcus aureus, Strep. dysgalactiae, and Streptococcus uberis in dairy cattle at the time of dry off.

description: Bovine digital dermatitis is a leading cause of lameness in the US dairy industry, and it also represents a significant welfare issue. Our group and others have demonstrated that, along with a number of other organisms, Treponema spp can be cultured from a large percentage of digital dermatitis lesions. As part of our ongoing effort to better understand the role that Treponema spp plays in this disease process, we are using a combination of culture-dependent and independent methods to better understand the physiology and metabolism of these bacteria. Treponema spp are fastidious and their growth in broth media has traditionally been difficult; thus; hindering the ability to grow sufficient organisms for DNA purification to be used in downstream sequencing or genetic modification. This study details the systematic evaluation of different culture conditions on the growth and replication of T. phagedenis isolated from digital dermatitis lesions of cattle.

description: Experiments involving micro- and nanomechanical resonators need to be carefully designed to reduce mechanical environmental noise. A small scale on-chip approach is to add an additional resonator to the system as a mechanical low-pass filter. Unfortunately, the inherent low frequency of the low-pass filter causes the system to be easily excited mechanically. Fixating the additional resonator ensures that the resonator itself can not be excited by the environment. This, however, negates the purpose of the low-pass filter. We solve this apparent paradox by applying active feedback to the resonator, thereby minimizing the motion with respect the front mirror of an optomechanical cavity. Not only does this method actively stabilize the cavity length, but it also retains the on-chip vibration isolation.

description: Multiple paternity is ubiquitous within the polyphyletic group called ‘reptiles', especially within the lizards and snakes. Therefore, the probability of sperm competition occurring, and being intense, is high. Squamates exhibit a diversity of tactics to ensure fertilization success in the face of sperm competition. The duration of female sperm storage, which can be many months and even years in some species, remains an enigma. Here, we emphasize some mechanisms that might affect patterns of paternity, the source and function of ejaculates and features of the female reproductive tract that may aid in long-term sperm storage. In doing so, we present a new analysis of the relationship between sperm size, the strength of sperm competition and the duration of female sperm storage. Lizards and snakes are a diverse group that has provided many excellent models for the study of an array of life-history strategies. However, when it comes to postcopulatory sexual selection, there is much left to discover.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Fifty years of sperm competition'.

description: We investigate possible signatures of halo assembly bias for spectroscopically selected galaxy groups from the GAMA survey using weak lensing measurements from the spatially overlapping regions of the deeper, high-imaging-quality photometric KiDS survey. We use GAMA groups with an apparent richness larger than 4 to identify samples with comparable mean host halo masses but with a different radial distribution of satellite galaxies, which is a proxy for the formation time of the haloes. We measure the weak lensing signal for groups with a steeper than average and with a shallower than average satellite distribution and find no sign of halo assembly bias, with the bias ratio of $0.85^{+0.37}_{-0.25}$, which is consistent with the $Λ$CDM prediction. Our galaxy groups have typical masses of $10^{13} M_{\odot}/h$, naturally complementing previous studies of halo assembly bias on galaxy cluster scales.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Unmarketable catch occurs because of limits on the kinds, sizes and amounts of fish that can be retained and sold. Most unmarketable catch is discarded at sea, and some is donated to charities or processed into an alternative, lower valued product such as fish meal. For the groundfish fishery off the U.S. west coast (California, Oregon and Washington), discard occurs because of processor/market limits on the acceptable species and sizes of fish, and because of regulatory limits on the amount of target species that can be retained. The west coast groundfish fishery uses regulatory catch limits in order to slow the cumulative pace of landed catch and obtain year-round fishing, processing and marketing opportunities. These limits began as per trip limits for widow rockfish in the early 1980s, evolved to a complex set of per trip and trip frequency limits for several species by the late 1980s, and evolved further to cumulative monthly limits by the mid-1990s. Today, cumulative limit periods are typically 2 months. Fortunately, a comprehensive mandatory observer program was instituted by the NMFS-NWFSC in August 2001 to provide future information on discarded catch. Even with these new data, it still is necessary to develop an analytical approach for their analysis and for estimation of historical discard levels.

description: Plages are the magnetically active chromospheric structures prominently visible in Ca $\scriptsize{\textrm{II}}$ K line (3933.67 Å). A plage may or may not be associated with a sunspot which is a magnetic structure visible in the solar photosphere. In this study we explore this aspect of association of plages with sunspots using the newly digitized Kodaikanal Ca $\scriptsize{\textrm{II}}$ K plage data and the Greenwich sunspot area data. Instead of using the plage index or fractional plage area and their comparison with the sunspot number, we use, to our knowledge for the first time, the individual plage areas and compared it with the sunspot area time series. Our analysis shows that these two structures formed at two different layers are highly correlated with each other on a time scale comparable to the solar cycle. The area and the latitudinal distributions of plages are also similar to that of the sunspots. Different area thresholdings on the `Butterfly diagram' reveal that plages with area $\geq$4 arcmin$^2$ are mostly associated with a sunspot in the photosphere. Apart from this, we found that the cyclic properties change when different sized plages are considered separately. These results may help us to better understand the generation and the evolution of the magnetic structures in different layers of the solar atmosphere.

description: Plate motions are governed by equilibrium between basal and edge forces. Great earthquakes may induce differential static stress changes across tectonic plates, enabling a new equilibrium state. Here we consider the torque balance for idealized circular plates and find a simple scalar relationship for changes in relative plate speed as a function of its size, upper mantle viscosity, and coseismic stress changes. Applied to Japan, the 2011 $\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{W}}=9.0$ Tohoku earthquake generated coseismic stresses of $10^2-10^5$~Pa that could have induced changes in motion of small (radius $\sim100$~km) crustal blocks within Honshu. Analysis of time-dependent GPS velocities, with corrections for earthquake cycle effects, reveals that plate speeds may have changed by up to $\sim3$ mm/yr between $\sim3.75$-year epochs bracketing this earthquake, consistent with an upper mantle viscosity of $\sim 5\times10^{18}$Pa$\cdot$s, suggesting that great earthquakes may modulate motions of proximal crustal blocks at frequencies as high as $10^-8$~Hz.

description: It is well known that transition cow diseases negatively affect reproductive performance; thus, profitability and welfare of dairy herds. Prevention of diseases at the herd level requires a constant effort and effective coordination of the total system (animals, environment, nutrition, and personnel). Substantial knowledge exists to prevent many diseases or conditions; however, it must be translated into on-farm applications or practices to have a meaningful effect at the herd level. Reproductive data of dairy herds throughout the United States showed that more than 73% of the variation in pregnancy risk (between bottom 10% and top 10% of herds) was due to management practices and/or environment. Fully trained and competent workers know what to do and how to do it, and have the skills and abilities to do the work. However, competent workers will often fail to perform when conflict or lack of satisfaction, motivation, and/or communication occur, resulting in lower work performance which affects the overall herd productivity. Frequent assessment of performance, educational needs, and training of dairy personnel should be top priorities for dairy operations to achieve a consistent and efficient herd performance over time. Practicing veterinarians regularly visit their clients and are ideally placed to identify at-risk dairy herds likely to benefit from personnel training (e.g., calving management), conflict management, and development of preventive standard operating procedures.

description: Outermost occupied electron shells of chemical elements can have symmetries resembling that of monopoles, dipoles, quadrupoles and octupoles corresponding to filled s-, p-, d- and forbitals. Theoretically, elements with hexadecapolar outer shells could also exist, but none of the known elements have filled g-orbitals. On the other hand, the research paradigm of "colloidal atoms" displays complexity of particle behaviour exceeding that of atomic counterparts, which is driven by DNA functionalization, geometric shape and topology and weak external stimuli. Here we describe elastic hexadecapoles formed by polymer microspheres dispersed in a liquid crystal, a nematic fluid of orientationally ordered molecular rods. Because of conically degenerate boundary conditions, the solid microspheres locally perturb the alignment of the nematic host, inducing hexadecapolar distortions that drive anisotropic colloidal interactions. We uncover physical underpinnings of formation of colloidal elastic hexadecapoles and describe the ensuing bonding inaccessible to elastic dipoles, quadrupoles and other nematic colloids studied previously.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The patterns of discarding marine organisms during commercial fishing practices are influenced by biological, economic and sociological factors. An interdisciplinary approach, integrating biological with social scientific data, was used to determine the main driving forces behind discarding whiting and Nephrops in the English northeast coast Nephrops fishery. Seventy-four trawls were sampled onboard 7 commercial vessels; questionnaires and interviews were conducted with skippers and enforcement agents. Discarding patterns were most influenced by market forces. In the case of Nephrops, discarding also significantly increased in high light intensity. Recent changes to gear regulations did not significantly reduce Nephrops discards or reduce the whiting discard rate below 75%. Future efforts to reduce discarding should focus on the selectivity of the fishing gear, fishermen should be actively encouraged to reduce discarding and take a central role in the development of new regulations.

description: David Finkelstein was very fond of the new information-theoretic paradigm of physics advocated by John Archibald Wheeler and Richard Feynman. Only recently, however, the paradigm has concretely shown its full power, with the derivation of quantum theory (Chiribella et al., Phys. Rev. A 84:012311, 2011; D'Ariano et al., 2017) and of free quantum field theory (D'Ariano and Perinotti, Phys. Rev. A 90:062106, 2014; Bisio et al., Phys. Rev. A 88:032301, 2013; Bisio et al., Ann. Phys. 354:244, 2015; Bisio et al., Ann. Phys. 368:177, 2016) from informational principles. The paradigm has opened for the first time the possibility of avoiding physical primitives in the axioms of the physical theory, allowing a refoundation of the whole physics over logically solid grounds. In addition to such methodological value, the new information-theoretic derivation of quantum field theory is particularly interesting for establishing a theoretical framework for quantum gravity, with the idea of obtaining gravity itself as emergent from the quantum information processing, as also suggested by the role played by information in the holographic principle (Susskind, J. Math. Phys. 36:6377, 1995; Bousso, Rev. Mod. Phys. 74:825, 2002). In this paper I review how free quantum field theory is derived without using mechanical primitives, including space-time, special relativity, Hamiltonians, and quantization rules. The theory is simply provided by the simplest quantum algorithm encompassing a countable set of quantum systems whose network of interactions satisfies the three following simple principles: homogeneity, locality, and isotropy. The inherent discrete nature of the informational derivation leads to an extension of quantum field theory in terms of a quantum cellular automata and quantum walks. A simple heuristic argument sets the scale to the Planck one, and the observed regime is that of small wavevectors ...

description: Strong and supportive social relationships are fundamental to our well-being. However, there are costs to their maintenance, resulting in a trade-off between quality and quantity, a typical strategy being to put a lot of effort on a few high-intensity relationships while maintaining larger numbers of less close relationships. It has also been shown that there are persistent individual differences in this pattern; some individuals allocate their efforts more uniformly across their networks, while others strongly focus on their closest relationships. Furthermore, some individuals maintain more stable networks than others. Here, we focus on how personality traits of individuals affect this picture, using mobile phone calls records and survey data from the Mobile Territorial Lab (MTL) study. In particular, we look at the relationship between personality traits and the (i) persistence of social signatures, namely the similarity of the social signature shape of an individual measured in different time intervals; (ii) the turnover in egocentric networks, that is, differences in the set of alters present at two consecutive temporal intervals; and (iii) the rank dynamics defined as the variation of alter rankings in egocentric networks in consecutive intervals. We observe that some traits have effects on the stability of the social signatures as well as network turnover and rank dynamics. As an example, individuals who score highly in the Openness to Experience trait tend to have higher levels of network turnover and larger alter rank variations. On broader terms, our study shows that personality traits clearly affect the ways in which individuals maintain their personal networks.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Purpose of this study was to investigate the survival ratio of red mullet (Mullus barbatus) and annular sea bream (Diplodus annularis) after escaping from a commercially used bottom trawl codend in the Bay of Izmir, east coast of the Aegean Sea. Fishing operation was carried out aboard R/V Egesü f (27m, 500HP) in September 2001. A 600 meshes (around the mouth) traditional bottom trawl with a 40mm nominal mesh size PE codend was used as fishing gear. A 24 mm mesh size knotless PA netting hooped cover was used to catch the fish escaping from the codend. Gear was towed for 15 minutes. Then the 2m diameter, 7m long cylindrical cover was detached from the codend and deployed in the observation site by divers. Four hauls were carried out; one control and three test groups. Cod-line was left untied in the case of control group. Divers observed cages three times a day for a six-day period to remove dead fish and feed the survivors. It was found that an average of 92.9 % of the red mullets, and 100 % of the annular sea bream in the test cages survived during the observation period.

description: Particle shape and medium chirality are two key features recently used to control anisotropic colloidal self-assembly and dynamics in liquid crystals. Here, we study magnetically responsive gourd-shaped colloidal particles dispersed in cholesteric liquid crystals with periodicity comparable or smaller than the particle's dimensions. Using magnetic manipulation and optical tweezers, which allow one to position colloids near the confining walls, we measured the elastic repulsive interactions of these particles with confining surfaces and found that separation-dependent particle-wall interaction force is a non-monotonic function of separation and shows oscillatory behavior. We show that gourd-shaped particles in cholesterics reside not on a single sedimentation level, but on multiple long-lived metastable levels separated by a distance comparable to cholesteric periodicity. Finally, we demonstrate three-dimensional laser tweezers assisted assembly of gourd-shaped particles taking advantage of both orientational order and twist periodicity of cholesterics, potentially allowing new forms of orientationally and positionally ordered colloidal organization in these media.

description: We present the results of an aggregation study on the intrinsically disordered biomineralisation peptide n16N, which selects the aragonite polymorph of calcium carbonate and is expected to have aggregation-dependent structure and function. The peptide is a sub-sequence of the in vivo protein n16, with putative framework and polymorph selection roles in the nacre layer of pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata). Employing the intermediate-resolution coarse-grained protein model PLUM*, which has previously been validated with respect to n16N, we simulate assemblies of these peptide units for system sizes inaccessible to atomistic models. We use extensive conformational sampling to show that the configurational ensemble explored by n16N aggregates contains a significant proportion of ordered -structure, within which arrangement of monomers is consistent with a previous hypothesis on functionally distinct subdomains of n16N. We also study an n16N mutant which fails to aggregate in experimental studies and obtain very similar behaviour, the consequences of which are discussed.

description: We have detected [C I] 3P1-3P0 emissions in the gaseous debris disks of 49 Ceti and Beta Pictoris with the 10 m telescope of the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment, which is the first detection of such emissions. The line profiles of [C I] are found to resemble those of CO(J=3-2) observed with the same telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. This result suggests that atomic carbon (C) coexists with CO in the debris disks, and is likely formed by the photodissociation of CO. Assuming an optically thin [C I] emission with the excitation temperature ranging from 30 to 100 K, the column density of C is evaluated to be (2.2+-0.2)x10^17 and (2.5+-0.7)x10^16 cm^-2 for 49 Ceti and Beta Pictoris, respectively. The C/CO column density ratio is thus derived to be 54+-19 and 69+-42 for 49 Ceti and Beta Pictoris, respectively. These ratios are higher than those of molecular clouds and diffuse clouds by an order of magnitude. The unusually high ratios of C to CO are likely attributed to a lack of H2 molecules needed to reproduce CO molecules efficiently from C. This result implies a small number of H2 molecules in the gas disk; i.e., there is an appreciable contribution of secondary gas from dust grains.
