description: We present the first full catalog and science results for the NuSTAR serendipitous survey. The catalog incorporates data taken during the first 40 months of NuSTAR operation, which provide ~20Ms of effective exposure time over 331 fields, with an areal coverage of 13 sq deg, and 497 sources detected in total over the 3-24 keV energy range. There are 276 sources with spectroscopic redshifts and classifications, largely resulting from our extensive campaign of ground-based spectroscopic followup. We characterize the overall sample in terms of the X-ray, optical, and infrared source properties. The sample is primarily comprised of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), detected over a large range in redshift from z = 0.002 - 3.4 (median of = 0.56), but also includes 16 spectroscopically confirmed Galactic sources. There is a large range in X-ray flux, from log( f_3-24keV / erg s^-1 cm^-2 ) ~ -14 to -11, and in rest-frame 10-40 keV luminosity, from log( L_10-40keV / erg s^-1 ) ~ 39 to 46, with a median of 44.1. Approximately 79% of the NuSTAR sources have lower energy (<10 keV) X-ray counterparts from XMM-Newton, Chandra, and Swift/XRT. The mid-infrared (MIR) analysis, using WISE all-sky survey data, shows that MIR AGN color selections miss a large fraction of the NuSTAR-selected AGN population, from ~15% at the highest luminosities (Lx > 10^44 erg s^-1) to ~80% at the lowest luminosities (Lx < 10^43 erg s^-1). Our optical spectroscopic analysis finds that the observed fraction of optically obscured AGNs (i.e., the Type 2 fraction) is F_Type2 = 53(+14-15)%, for a well-defined subset of the 8-24 keV selected sample. This is higher, albeit at a low significance level, than the Type 2 fraction measured for redshift- and luminosity-matched AGNs selected by <10 keV X-ray missions.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.This study aims to quantify the trophic relationships of seven commercially valuable predatory fish species (Argentine hake Merluccius hubbsi, southern hake Merluccius australis, Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides, southern blue whiting Micromesistius australis australis, red cod Salilota australis, kingclip Genypterus blacodes and hoki Macruronus magellanicus) over a two-year period. A total of 1590 stomachs from these species was collected from the high seas of the southwest Atlantic and in the waters around the Falkland Islands. The percentage similarity index shows that all species except southern hake occupy very similar trophic positions, with a high percentage dietary overlap. Despite this, niche breadths were relatively narrow, with the majority of feeding occurring on locally abundant prey items (notothiniid fish and the squids Illex argentinus and Loligo gahi). In the two species for which sample size was largest, Argentine hake and kingclip, geographical differences in diet were found, which may be related to regional variation in prey abundance. The results are discussed in relation to the seasonal migrations of predators and prey and the hydroclimate regime.

description: Search of novel two-dimensional giant Rashba semiconductors is a crucial step in the development of the forthcoming nano-spintronics technology. Using first-principle calculations, we study a stable two-dimensional crystal phase of BiSb having buckled honeycomb lattice geometry, which is yet unexplored. The phonon, room temperature molecular dynamics and elastic constant calculations verify the dynamical and mechanical stability of the monolayer at 0~K and at room temperature. The calculated electronic bandstructure reveals the direct bandgap semiconducting nature of BiSb monolayer with presence of highly mobile two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) near Fermi-level. Inclusion of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) yields the giant Rashba spin-splitting of 2DEG near Fermi-level. The calculated Rashba energy and Rashba splitting constant are 13 meV and 2.3 eVÅ, respectively. The strength of the Rashba splitting is amongst the largest yet known 2D Rashba semiconductors. We demonstrate that the strength of the Rashba spin-splitting can be significantly tuned by applying in-plane bi-axial strain on the BiSb monolayer. Presence of the giant Rashba spin-splitting together with the large electronic bandgap (1.6 eV) makes this system of peculiar interest for optoelectronics applications. Furthermore, we study the electronic properties of BiSb/AlN heterostructures having a lattice mismatch of 1.3\% at the interface. Our results suggest that BiSb monolayer and heterostructure systems could be potentially used to develop highly efficient spin field-effect transistors, optoelectronics and nano-spintronics devices. Thus, this comprehensive study of two-dimensional BiSb systems can expand the range of possible applications in the future spintronics technology.

description: Although it is known that the highest incidence for most production-related metabolic diseases (PRMDs; ie, milk fever, fatty liver, ketosis, LDA, mastitis, and infections) occurs within 60 days-in-milk (DIM), PRMD incidence has not been altered by transition diets, dietary CAD, and avoidance of over-conditioning. Economic returns are significantly affected by PRMDs because of altered milk composition or decreased production, conception, life expectancy, and cull value. The risk for PRMD has been correlated with increased serum FFA, NEFA, TG, and PHBA concentrations and hepatic TG-to-glycogen ratio. Regulation of hepatic metabolism is dynamic and can differ between similarly managed transition cows. The difference in fecal carbon stable isotopes (13C/12C ratio, 813C) measured 3 weeks prepartum and at parturition predicted 66% of cows resistant to or at risk for PRMDs in the subsequent lactation, with susceptible cows having a more depleted isotopic signature correlated with mobilizing endogenous lipid and protein stores for maintenance needs. Finding these differences prior to PRMD onset prompted investigation of fecal lipids present at the beginning of the transition period and at parturition. The objectives of this study were to determine the fecal lipid profiles for PRMD-resistant and PMRD-susceptible cows, and to determine if PRMD-susceptible cows have unique fecal lipidome biomarkers.

description: A critical, and often unrecognized, obstacle to implementation of mastitis control practices in many dairy herds is the behavior and attitude of farmers and employees. Additionally, increasing reliance on hired labor in the US dairy industry raises concerns with communication, training, and protocol compliance. The Quality Milk Alliance is a 5-year, USDA-NIFA funded project that seeks to reduce mastitis prevalence and antimicrobial drug use on dairy farms. This will be accomplished by the development of a team-building approach to address social and communication barriers to adoption of mastitis control practices. To that end, the first aim of the project used a combination of a mailed survey and focus group meetings to determine existing knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about mastitis control and antimicrobial use on dairy farms, as well as potential barriers to adopting and complying with herd protocols.

description: Interfaces between complex oxides constitute a unique playground for 2D electron systems (2DES), where superconductivity and magnetism can arise from combinations of bulk insulators. The 2DES at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface is one of the most studied in this regard, and its origin is determined by both the presence of a polar field in LaAlO3 and the insurgence of point defects, such as oxygen vacancies and intermixed cations. These defects usually reside in the conduction channel and are responsible for a decreased electronic mobility. In this work we use an amorphous WO3 overlayer to control the defect formation and obtain an increased electron mobility and effective mass in WO3/LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures. The studied system shows a sharp insulator-to-metal transition as a function of both LaAlO3 and WO3 layer thickness. Low-temperature magnetotransport reveals a strong magnetoresistance reaching 900% at 10 T and 1.5 K, the presence of multiple conduction channels with carrier mobility up to 80 000 cm2/Vs and an unusually high effective mass of 5.6 me. The amorphous character of the WO3 overlayer makes this a versatile approach for defect control at oxide interfaces, which could be applied to other heterestrostures disregarding the constraints imposed by crystal symmetry.

description: We assess the photometric variability of nine stars with spectroscopic Teff and log(g) values from the ELM Survey that locate them near the empirical extremely low-mass (ELM) white dwarf instability strip. We discover three new pulsating stars: SDSS J135512.34+195645.4, SDSS J173521.69+213440.6 and SDSS J213907.42+222708.9. However, these are among the few ELM Survey objects that do not show radial velocity variations to confirm the binary nature expected of helium-core white dwarfs. The dominant 4.31-hr pulsation in SDSS J135512.34+195645.4 far exceeds the theoretical cutoff for surface reflection in a white dwarf, and this target is likely a high-amplitude delta Scuti pulsator with an overestimated surface gravity. We estimate the probability to be less than 0.0008 that the lack of measured radial velocity variations in four of eight other pulsating candidate ELM white dwarfs could be due to low orbital inclination. Two other targets exhibit variability as photometric binaries. Partial coverage of the 19.342-hr orbit of WD J030818.19+514011.5 reveals deep eclipses that imply a primary radius > 0.4 solar radii--too large to be consistent with an ELM white dwarf. The only object for which our time series photometry adds support to the ELM white dwarf classification is SDSS J105435.78-212155.9, with consistent signatures of Doppler beaming and ellipsoidal variations. We interpret that the ELM Survey contains multiple false positives from another stellar population at Teff < 9000 K, possibly related to the sdA stars recently reported from SDSS spectra.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The head of the main channel of the eastern Canadian continental shelf is a traditional whale feeding ground that is part of the first Canadian marine park and one of the most intensive whale-watching sites in the world. In mid 1990's, a research program was launched to understand the basic oceanographic processes responsible for this ecosystem hot spot of eastern Canada. Multifrequency acoustics, direct sampling and standard oceanographic measurements were used to map the distribution and abundance of the two whale preys, krill and capelin. Data were interpreted with the help of a high-resolution three-dimensional tidal circulation model of the area. The area was found to be the site of the richest krill aggregation in the Northwest Atlantic. It results from the pumping of waters from the krill-rich intermediate layer by the estuarine circulation and intensive upwelling combined with the negative phototactism of krill. Current structure and hydrodynamic control at the sills determine the mesoscale pattern of the aggregation. Capelin concentrated at the channel head banks and along the slopes. Flooding currents and upwelling were concentrating them at the slopes, and along the fronts that form at the interfaces between water masses. Flooding increased the contact between the two preys. Whales take advantage of the cyclical concentration of capelin at the slopes and of the richest krill concentrations further downstream.

description: Flunixin meglumine (FLU) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is labeled for use in dairy cattle for regulation of inflammation in endotoxemia and for the control of pyrexia associated with bovine respiratory disease and acute bovine mastitis at a dose of 1.0 mg/lb (2.2 mg/kg), IV every 24 hours or 0.5 mg/lb (1.1 mg/kg), IV, every 12 hours. The milk withdrawal time for FLU is 36 hours. Currently, FLU is the second most common violative drug residue found in the dairy industry. The reason for the numerous illegal FLU drug residues remains unclear; however, prolonged clearance in cows with mastitis, compared with that in healthy cows is one possible explanation. Cows with mastitis may have prolonged elimination of 5-hydroxy flunixin (5OH), the marker residue for FLU in milk, which results in milk FLU residues greater than the tolerance limit of 2 ppb after 36 hours. The objective of this study was to determine if the pharmacokinetics and milk elimination of FLU and 5OH differed between healthy cows and cows with mastitis.

Air quality in open-lot dairies and cattle feedyards
Creators: name: Auvermann, Brent
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2014

description: The research community is making good progress in understanding the mechanical, biochemical, and atmospheric processes responsible for airborne emissions of particulate matter (PM, or “dust”), gases, and vapors from open-lot livestock production, especially dairies and cattle feedyards. Recent studies in Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, California, and Australia have expanded the available data on both emission rates and abatement measures. A national guidance document published by USDA last summer established what researchers believe to be the state of the art in estimating greenhouse-gas emissions from individual facilities. Although the uncertainties associated with our estimates of fugitive emissions are still unacceptably high, we have learned from our recent experience with ammonia that using a wide variety of credible measurement techniques, rather than focusing on 1 so-called “standard” technique, may be the better way to improve confidence in our estimates. The most promising control measures for gaseous emissions continue to be dietary strategies to increase nutrient-use efficiency, with management of corral-surface moisture a close second. For particulate matter, corral-surface management and moisture management may play comparable roles, depending on the mechanical strength of soils and the availability of water, respectively. The cost per unit reduction of emitted mass attributable to these abatement measures varies as widely as the emissions estimates themselves. Therefore, continued emphasis on process-based emissions research to reduce variances in emissions estimates, and to mitigate the contingency of prior, empirically based estimates is necessary. As a general rule, although cattle feedyard emission factors may be considered a reasonable starting point for estimating emissions from open-lot dairies, such estimates should be viewed with suspicion.

Though quasiparticles do not have a definite charge in this chargeless Fermi liquid, in case of particle-hole symmetry, a mapping to the Anderson model unveils a hidden U(1) symmetry and a corresponding pseudo-charge. In contrast to other correlated Fermi-liquids, the back scattering noise reveals an effective charge equal to the charge of Cooper pairs, $e^* = 2e$. In addition,we find a strong suppression of noise when the linear conductance is unitary, even for its non-linear part.

description: Beaming effect is important for the observational properties of blazars. In this work, we collect 91 $Fermi$ blazars with available radio Doppler factors. $γ$-ray Doppler factors are estimated and compared with radio Doppler factors for some sources. The intrinsic (de-beamed) $γ$-ray flux density ($f^{\rm in}_γ$), intrinsic $γ$-ray luminosity ($L^{\rm in}_γ$), and intrinsic synchrotron peak frequency ($ν_{\rm p}^{\rm in}$) are calculated. Then we study the correlations between $f^{\rm in}_γ$ and redshift and find that they follow the theoretical relation: $\log f = -2.0 \log z + {\rm const}$. When the subclasses are considered, we find that stationary jets are perhaps dominant in low synchrotron peaked blazars. 63 $Fermi$ blazars with both available short variability time scales ($ΔT$) and Doppler factors are also collected. We find that the intrinsic relationship between $L ^{\rm in}_γ$ and $ΔT^{\rm in}$ obeys the Elliot \& Shapiro and the Abramowicz \& Nobili relations. Strong positive correlation between $f_γ^{\rm in}$ and $ν_{\rm p}^{\rm in}$ is found, suggesting that synchrotron emissions are highly correlated with $γ$-ray emissions.

description: There are a myriad of disease processes that can be diagnosed in feedyard cattle. Playing the odds, the signs of bovine respiratory disease are what pen riders are most often trained to look for. Bovine respiratory disease is responsible for the majority offeedyard morbidity and subsequent mortality. The approach to evaluation of cattle in the home pens to detect individuals early in the course of disease needs to be as efficient and as thorough as possible. Focusing on single clinical signs of BRD may not be the most feasible approach. Instead, the focus should be on more subtle behavioral changes to isolate individuals within the group that should be further examined for secondary clinical signs.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Wintertime hydrographic data obtained in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL) since 1996 suggest large intrusions of dense and cold surface waters from the Labrador shelf in 2001. These intrusions contributed significantly to the summertime coldness of the intermediate layer in the GSL despite relatively mild winter conditions. Several changes in the plankton community were associated with this intrusion. A major change is the first occurrence of the diatom Neodenticula seminae covering most of the GSL in spring 2001. This is very unusual since this diatom is usually found in the North Pacific, not in the North Atlantic. Because of its parallel occurrence on the Labrador Shelf, it is inferred that this Pacific species was introduced into the GSL via natural advection processes across the Arctic and down the Labrador Current. Other phytoplankton observations of typical Labrador shelf waters in the GSL support this hypothesis. Another important change is a highly significant increase in the abundance of the Arctic hyperiid amphipod Themisto libellula. Numbers increased from 0.17 ind. m-2 in 2000 to 10 ind. m-2 in September 2001. This is the most important increase in abundance of this species in the last decade. These changes in ocean circulation processes probably have a significant impact on higher trophic level interactions as suggested by an increase of the occurrence of this zooplankton species in the cod diet.

description: We consider a non-ideal hot pion gas with the dynamically fixed number of particles in the model with the $λϕ^4$ interaction. The effective Lagrangian for the description of such a system is obtained after dropping the terms responsible for the change of the total particle number. Reactions $π^+π^-\leftrightarrowπ^0π^0$, which determine the isospin balance of the medium, are permitted. Within the self-consistent Hartree approximation we compute the effective pion mass, thermodynamic characteristics of the system and the variance of the particle number at temperatures above the critical point of the induced Bose-Einstein condensation when the pion chemical potential reaches the value of the effective pion mass. We analyze conditions for the condensate formation in the process of thermalization of an initially non-equilibrium pion gas. The normalized variance of the particle number increases with a temperature decrease but remains finite in the critical point of the Bose-Einstein condensation. This is due to the non-perturbative account of the interaction and is in contrast to the ideal-gas case. In the kinetic regime of the condensate formation the variance is shown to stay finite also.

description: Context: A substantial fraction of protoplanetary disks forms around stellar binaries. The binary system generates a time-dependent non-axisymmetric gravitational potential, inducing strong tidal forces on the circumbinary disk. This leads to a change in basic physical properties of the circumbinary disk, which should in turn result in unique structures that are potentially observable with the current generation of instruments. Aims: The goal of this study is to identify these characteristic structures, to constrain the physical conditions that cause them, and to evaluate the feasibility to observe them in circumbinary disks. Methods: To achieve this, at first two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations are performed. The resulting density distributions are post-processed with a 3D radiative transfer code to generate re-emission and scattered light maps. Based on these, we study the influence of various parameters, such as the mass of the stellar components, the mass of the disk and the binary separation on observable features in circumbinary disks. Results: We find that the Atacama Large (sub-)Millimetre Array (ALMA) as well as the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) are capable of tracing asymmetries in the inner region of circumbinary disks which are affected most by the binary-disk interaction. Observations at submillimetre/millimetre wavelengths will allow the detection of the density waves at the inner rim of the disk and the inner cavity. With the E-ELT one can partially resolve the innermost parts of the disk in the infrared wavelength range, including the disk's rim, accretion arms and potentially the expected circumstellar disks around each of the binary components.

description: We report on the dynamics of thermalization by extending a generalization of the Caldeira-Leggett model, developed in the context of cold atomic gases confined in a harmonic trap, to higher dimensions. Universal characteristics en route to thermalization which appear to be independent of dimensionality are highlighted, which additionally suggest a scaling analogous to turbulent mixing in fluid dynamics. We then focus on features dependent on dimensionality, with particular regard to the role of angular momentum of the two atomic clouds, having in mind the goal of efficient thermalization between the two species. Finally, by considering asymmetry in species numbers, we find that nonlinear inter-species interactions provide a mode locking mechanism between the majority and minority species, relevant to recent experiments involving Fermi-Bose mixtures in the normal phase.

description: We present results from MMT/Hectochelle spectroscopy of red giant candidate stars along the line of sight to the recently-discovered Galactic satellite Crater 2. Modelling the joint distribution of stellar positions, velocities and metallicities as a mixture of Crater 2 and Galactic foreground populations, we identify 62 members of Crater 2, for which we resolve line-of-sight velocity dispersion 2.7 +/- 0.3 km/s about mean velocity of 87.5 +/- 0.4 km/s. We also resolve a metallicity dispersion 0.22 about a mean of [Fe/H]=-1.98 +/- 0.1 that is 0.28 +/- 0.14 poorer than is estimated from photometry. Despite Crater 2's relatively large size (projected halflight radius R(h)=1 kpc) and intermediate luminosity (M_V =-8), its velocity dispersion is the coldest that has been resolved for any dwarf galaxy. These properties make Crater 2 the most extreme low-density outlier in dynamical as well as structural scaling relations among the Milky Way's dwarf spheroidals. Even so, under assumptions of dynamical equilibrium and negligible contamination by unresolved binary stars, the observed velocity distribution implies a gravitationally dominant dark matter halo, with dynamical mass 4.4 x 10^6 Msun and mass-to-light ratio M/L=53 enclosed within a radius of 1 kpc, where the equivalent circular velocity is 4.3 km/s.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Small scale hydrographic fronts may act as convergence zones in which organisms accumulate, and have been used preferentially by several marine predators. In this paper, bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus spatial and temporal distribution was investigated in relation to the tidal cycle and to the spatial and temporal evolution of a tidal front in a narrow estuarine channel. Estimates of dolphin abundance during all states of the tidal cycle, and positions of the frontal surface features and of dolphin groups were obtained from land-based observations. Hydrographic data was obtained on the structure of the front. The results showed that the front was characteristic of tidal intrusion fronts and was predictable both temporally and spatially. Its development could be divided into 3 stages. In the first stage the front was determined by the tidal flows and by an unusual freshwater input at the mouth of the estuary. In later stages the bathymetry and morphology of the estuary dominated and the front became stationary until the tidal inflow stopped, causing the front to dissipate. Dolphins were most abundant during the flood tide, particularly during the stationary stage of the tidal front. Dolphins also showed a spatial association with the area near the surface features of the front, which could be related to increased foraging efficiency resulting from the accumulation of prey in the frontal region. Further work that takes account of the 3D distribution and behaviour of the dolphins and their prey with relation to the front is now required to fully understand the nature of this relationship.
title: Migrant workers as informal interpreters on construction sites

description: In response to the challenges arising from employing large numbers of migrant workers on 
construction projects, the industry has found ways of communicating within teams with 
speakers of multiple languages. One widely used strategy is using a bilingual worker to 
facilitate communication. However, despite the importance of this language work for safety, 
relations and productivity, this interpreter position is kept informal and is also under-researched. Specifically, there has not been an in-depth study from a linguistic approach or 
that provides an emic perspective from informal interpreters. Therefore, this thesis
investigates the work of informal interpreters on construction sites. This is done to contribute 
to a better understanding of these vital language practices and to inform best practice 
regarding the use of bilingual migrant workers as informal interpreters. It is argued that this 
language work should be part of a recognised and managed position in the workplace. 
This study uses a qualitative approach, employing ethnographic methods. Through visits to 
four construction sites in London and undertaking forty interviews, with international 
participants, it has been possible to describe who some of these informal interpreters are and 
what language work they do. This answers the two broad research questions: (1) Who are the 
informal interpreters and why do they perform this task? And (2) What language work do the 
informal interpreters do and how? The data was analysed through a language and identity 
theory framework. The identity approach provides insights into the identities of informal 
interpreters in construction and their reasons for performing this language work; with 
findings that show that some migrant workers invest in their language skills with the hope 
that this will improve their social and/or economic situation. The translanguaging lens leads 
to a better comprehension of the varied ways in which these bilingual workers facilitate 
communication. This thesis contributes to knowledge about communication practices on 
construction sites internationally, with data and insights gained about practices in many 
countries because of the diversity of interview participants and the global nature of the 
construction projects. By applying the theoretical constructs of identity and translanguaging 
in a new context, like construction, it also contributes to these literatures. Moreover, the 
findings may contribute towards better understanding of informal interpretation in other 
settings, such as in industries with highly multilingual workforces including manufacturing, hospitality and agriculture. Initiatives that have the potential to improve communication on
multilingual construction sites and give recognition to workers’ valuable language skills are 
suggested.
