Floodplain ecosystems are characterized by alternating wet and dry phases and periodic inundation defines their ecological character. Climate change, river regulation and the construction of levees have substantially altered natural flooding and drying regimes worldwide with uncertain effects on key biotic groups. In southern Australia, we hypothesized that soil eukaryotic communities in climate change affected areas of a semi-arid floodplain would transition towards comprising mainly dry-soil specialist species with increasing drought severity. Here, we used 18S rRNA amplicon pyrosequencing to measure the eukaryote community composition in soils that had been depleted of water to varying degrees to confirm that reproducible transitional changes occur in eukaryotic biodiversity on this floodplain. Interflood community structures (3 years post-flood) were dominated by persistent rather than either aquatic or dry-specialist organisms. Only 2% of taxa were unique to dry locations by 8 years post-flood, and 10% were restricted to wet locations (inundated a year to 2 weeks post-flood). Almost half (48%) of the total soil biota were detected in both these environments. The discovery of a large suite of organisms able to survive nearly a decade of drought, and up to a year submerged supports the concept of inherent resilience of Australian semi-arid floodplain soil communities under increasing pressure from climatic induced changes in water availability.

description: We propose Embodied AI as the next fundamental step in the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence, juxtaposing it against current AI advancements, particularly Large Language Models. We traverse the evolution of the embodiment concept across diverse fields - philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and robotics - to highlight how EAI distinguishes itself from the classical paradigm of static learning. By broadening the scope of Embodied AI, we introduce a theoretical framework based on cognitive architectures, emphasizing perception, action, memory, and learning as essential components of an embodied agent. This framework is aligned with Friston's active inference principle, offering a comprehensive approach to EAI development. Despite the progress made in the field of AI, substantial challenges, such as the formulation of a novel AI learning theory and the innovation of advanced hardware, persist. Our discussion lays down a foundational guideline for future Embodied AI research. Highlighting the importance of creating Embodied AI agents capable of seamless communication, collaboration, and coexistence with humans and other intelligent entities within real-world environments, we aim to steer the AI community towards addressing the multifaceted challenges and seizing the opportunities that lie ahead in the quest for AGI.

description: The examination of the physical properties of chondrules has generally received less emphasis than other properties of meteorites such as their mineralogy, petrology, and chemical and isotopic compositions. Among the various physical properties of chondrules, chondrule size is especially important for the classification of chondrites into chemical groups, since each chemical group possesses a distinct size-frequency distribution of chondrules. Knowledge of the physical properties of chondrules is also vital for the development of astrophysical models for chondrule formation, and for understanding how to utilize asteroidal resources in space exploration. To examine our current knowledge of chondrule sizes, we have compiled and provide commentary on available chondrule dimension literature data. We include all chondrite chemical groups as well as the acapulcoite primitive achondrites, some of which contain relict chondrules. We also compile and review current literature data for other astrophysically-relevant physical properties (chondrule mass and density). Finally, we briefly examine some additional physical aspects of chondrules such as the frequencies of compound and 'cratered' chondrules. A purpose of this compilation is to provide a useful resource for meteoriticists and astrophysicists alike.

description: Abasolo Archaeological Consultants (AAC) conducted a Phase I archaeological survey on 250 acres that remain undeveloped on the Solana Ridge property, south San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. Solana Ridge is a D.R. Horton development that is nearly 50% complete with streets, houses, and an activity center. The property surrounding the existing development was the subject of this archaeological survey. The surface across much of the property is littered with Uvalde Gravels. Evidence of occasional exploitation of high quality chert for chipped stone tools in the prehistoric past was observed in the form of an occasional flake, core, or biface. One concentrated area of chipping debris consisting of flakes, cores, and biface discards, and measuring approximately 100 meters in diameter, was designated as site 41BX1820. This concentration was on the crest and southern slopes of the highest hill on the property overlooking the Medio Creek valley. The cultural material was restricted to the surface and no temporally diagnostic artifacts were observed. No further archaeological work is recommended.

The competing demands of the environment and agriculture has challenged managers of waterways and prompted the development of new and novel ways of providing water for consumptive use without compromising the aquatic ecosystem. One partial remedy that has been proposed involves using wetlands as intermediary off-river storages to achieve consumptive benefits whilst maintaining ecological values. This study assessed the suitability of such a strategy by examining the impact of artificial drawdown on wetland zooplankton communities. An experiment was undertaken in outdoor mesocosms in which two treatments were compared over a 109-day duration: (1) partial artificial drawdown-where approximately half of the water was siphoned out after 42 days; and (2) natural drawdown-where the water was left to drawdown naturally via evaporation. Artificial drawdown only caused a small acceleration (<4 weeks) in the decline of abundance and density associated with natural population fluctuations, and temporarily changed the community structure. Furthermore, it had no effect on taxon richness, community composition and the initiation of dormancy. This suggests that wetlands could potentially be used for supporting consumptive demands whilst still maintaining abundant and diverse zooplankton communities, and hence a suitable food supply for higher order consumers such as fish and waterfowl.

description: In a rapidly changing shape phase region, the presence of shape coexistence and its possible impact on the decay modes and half$-$lives, has been explored in astrophysically interesting Mo and Ru isotopes, in an extensive study within the microscopic theoretical framework using Nilsson Strutinsky Method and Relativistic Mean Field Model. The isotopic chains of Mo and Ru exhibit rapid shape phase transitions, triaxial $γ$ softness, shape instability along with many coexisting states mostly with oblate and triaxial shapes. Proton and neutron separation energies have been calculated and compared with the available data. Results obtained from both the formalisms are in good agreement with each other as well as the available experimental data. Our computed $β-$decay half$-$lives and separation energy for nuclei exhibiting shape coexistence were examined for the decay mode from second minima state of the parent nuclei to the ground or excited state of the daughter nuclei. The second minima state of the coexisting shapes in Mo and Ru isotopes, were seen to impact the structural properties, $β-$decay half$-$lives, separation energy and hence the stability of the nuclei.

1. Floodplain wetlands are areas of high biodiversity and conservation value, including those in semi-arid regions. River regulation has resulted in disconnection from the main river channel of several ephemeral wetland systems, with profound modifications to their natural wetting/drying cycles that have contributed to the decline in diversity, distribution and abundance of native fish. 2. From 2005 to 2011, a series of managed inundation events through pumping followed by natural inundation allowed assessment and comparison of the fish assemblage developing in Hattah Lakes, a semi-arid wetland system of the regulated Murray River (Victoria, Australia). 3. As a result of one-way pumping from the main channel to Hattah Lakes, a ‘filtered’ fish assemblage consisting mainly of small-bodied native species and very low numbers of non-native species fully developed within 2 years. After disconnection from the main river channel in the absence of pumping, within-system recruitment also occurred, but later drying of all water bodies caused the entire fish assemblage to perish. Conversely, following two-way flooding by natural inundation a more diverse fish assemblage developed, including large-bodied native species but also non-native species, some of which were previously unrecorded. 4. Managed inundation through pumping in Hattah Lakes represents a viable option for the creation of fish habitat, for promoting recruitment, and as a measure of rehabilitation. However, the absence of connectivity back to the main river channel means that future measures should be implemented to maintain a refuge water pool until the next inundation event. Long-term monitoring is a key component of the integrated wetland conservation framework adopted by the Ramsar Wetland Convention, and this is especially relevant to the conservation of semi-arid wetlands world-wide including Hattah Lakes.

description: Reproducibility is widely acknowledged as a fundamental principle in scientific research. Currently, the scientific community grapples with numerous challenges associated with reproducibility, often referred to as the ''reproducibility crisis.'' This crisis permeated numerous scientific disciplines. In this study, we examined the factors in scientific practices that might contribute to this lack of reproducibility. Significant focus is placed on the prevalent integration of computation in research, which can sometimes function as a black box in published papers. Our study primarily focuses on highperformance computing (HPC), which presents unique reproducibility challenges. This paper provides a comprehensive review of these concerns and potential solutions. Furthermore, we discuss the critical role of reproducible research in advancing science and identifying persisting issues within the field of HPC.

Hypoxic blackwater events occur when large amounts of organic material are leached into a water body (e.g., during floodplain inundation) and rapid metabolism of this carbon depletes oxygen from the water column, often with catastrophic effects on the aquatic environment. River regulation may have increased the frequency and severity of hypoxic blackwater events in lowland river systems, necessitating management intervention to mitigate the impacts of these events on aquatic biota. We examine the effectiveness of a range of mitigation interventions that have been used during large-scale hypoxic blackwater events in the Murray–Darling Basin, Australia and that may be applicable in other environments at risk from hypoxic blackwater. Strategies for hypoxia mitigation include: delivery of dilution flows; enhancement of physical re-aeration rates by increasing surface turbulence; and diversion of blackwater into shallow off-channel storages. We show that the impact of dilution water delivery is determined by relative volumes and water quality and can be predicted using simple models. At the dilution water inflow point, localized oxygenated plumes may also act as refuges. Physical re-aeration strategies generally result in only a small increase in dissolved oxygen but may be beneficial for local refuge protection. Dilution and natural re-aeration processes in large, shallow lake systems can be sufficient to compensate for hypoxic inflows and water processed in off-channel lakes may be able to be returned to the river channel as dilution flows. We provide a set of predictive models (as electronic supplementary material) for estimation of the re-aeration potential of intervention activities and a framework to guide the adaptive.
Revisiting Experience Replayable Conditions

Year: 2024

description: Experience replay (ER) used in (deep) reinforcement learning is considered to be applicable only to off-policy algorithms. However, there have been some cases in which ER has been applied for on-policy algorithms, suggesting that off-policyness might be a sufficient condition for applying ER. This paper reconsiders more strict "experience replayable conditions" (ERC) and proposes the way of modifying the existing algorithms to satisfy ERC. In light of this, it is postulated that the instability of policy improvements represents a pivotal factor in ERC. The instability factors are revealed from the viewpoint of metric learning as i) repulsive forces from negative samples and ii) replays of inappropriate experiences. Accordingly, the corresponding stabilization tricks are derived. As a result, it is confirmed through numerical simulations that the proposed stabilization tricks make ER applicable to an advantage actor-critic, an on-policy algorithm. Moreover, its learning performance is comparable to that of a soft actor-critic, a state-of-the-art off-policy algorithm.

Organic phosphorus in the aquatic environment
Creators: name: Baldwin, Darren S
Publisher: name: La Trobe

description:

MDFRC item.

Organic phosphorus can be one of the major fractions of phosphorus in many aquatic ecosystems. Unfortunately, in many studies the 'organic' P fraction is operationally defined. However, there are an increasing number of studies where the organic P species have been structurally characterised – in part because of the adoption of 31P NMR spectroscopic techniques. There are five classes of organic P species that have been specifically identified in the aquatic environment – nucleic acids, other nucleotides, inositol phosphates, phospholipids and phosphonates. This paper explores the identification, quantification, biogeochemical cycling and ecological significance of these organic P compounds. Based on this analysis, the paper then identifies a number of principles which could guide the research of organic P into the future. There is an ongoing need to develop methods for quickly and accurately identifying and quantifying organic P species in the environment. The types of ecosystems in which organic P dynamics are studied needs to be expanded; flowing waters, floodplains and small wetlands are currently all under-represented in the literature. While enzymatic hydrolysis is an important transformation pathway for the breakdown of organic P, more effort needs to be directed towards studying other potential transformation pathways. Similarly effort should be directed to estimating the rates of transformations, not simply reporting on the concentrations. And finally, further work is needed in elucidating other roles of organic P in the environment other than simply a source of P to aquatic organisms.
An order-theoretic quantification of contextuality

description: In this essay, I develop order-theoretic notions of determinism and contextuality on domains and topoi. In the process, I develop a method for quantifying contextuality and show that the order-theoretic sense of contextuality is analogous to the sense embodied in the topos-theoretic statement of the Kochen-Specker theorem. Additionally, I argue that this leads to a relation between the entropy associated with measurements on quantum systems and the second law of thermodynamics. The idea that the second law has its origin in the ordering of quantum states and processes dates to at least 1958 and possibly earlier. The suggestion that the mechanism behind this relation is contextuality, is made here for the first time.

description: Natural products rich in health-promoting compounds could represent new potential therapy strategy in many diseases. In the present study we focus our attention on Capsicum annuum L. cv Senise and Solanum aethiopicum L. cv Rotonda, two typical products of Basilicata region and source of health-promoting compounds. Particularly, we investigated molecular pathways involved in anti-obesity activity demonstrated in mice fed with high fat diet. Firstly, antioxidant activity of samples was evaluated in HepG2 cell line. Cells were pre-treated with different doses of the extracts and ROS generation was measured by flow cytometry. Expression of several markers involved in antioxidant defence was evaluated by qRT-PCR in order to understand molecular mechanism responsible of the activity. Oxidative stress characterized several pathology conditions. About obesity, prolonged exposure of excess of fat induced weight gain but also ROS and pro-inflammatory cytokines generation. Hypolipidemic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of the extracts were evaluated in HepG2 and Caco-2 cell line used as model. Lipid accumulation was morphologically evaluated by Oil red O staining and the expression of several markers involved in lipid metabolism, antioxidant defense and inflammatory status was measured by qRT-PCR. Both extracts reduced fat accumulation in OA- treated HepG2 cell line by reducing de novo lipogenesis and improved intestinal lipid absorption. Moreover, both extracts enhance the activity of antioxidant enzymes severely compromised in obesity. Obesity is also associated with diabetes type 2 and cardiovascular risk. Senise pepper influenced the expression of some gene involved in insulin signalling pathway improving glucose uptake as demonstrated by 2-NBDG assay and 1H-NMR analysis. In addition, Senise pepper demonstrated cardioprotective effect by improving endothelial dysfunction in obese mice (in collaboration with Universidad de Granada) due to inhibition of NADPH oxidase and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity demonstrated in OA-treated cells and splenocytes (in collaboration with Laboratory of Immunotherapy, Institute of Microbiology of the Academy of Science Czech in Prague). Finally, LC-MS was performed in order to identify the specialized compounds responsible of biological activity of C.annnum L. cv Senise and S. aethiopicum L. cv Rotonda [edited by Author]

Non-magnetic layers with a single Dirac cone at high-symmetry point of the Brillouin zone
Creators: name: Damljanovic, Vladimir
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is well known that a single Dirac cone at high-symmetry point (HSP) of a Brillouin zone, akin to the one in graphenes' band structure, can not appear as the only quasiparticle at the Fermi level in two-dimensional (2D), non-magnetic materials. Here we found two layer groups with time-reversal symmetry, among all possible both without- and with spin-orbit coupling, that host one Dirac cone at HSP and we show which additional dispersions appear: a pair of Dirac lines on opposite BZ edges and a pair of Dirac cones that can be moved but not removed by symmetry preserving perturbations, on the other two BZ edges. We illustrate our theory by a tight-binding band structure and discuss real 2D materials that belong to one of the two symmetry groups. Finally, we single out inconsistencies in the literature showing that it is better to focus scientist attention to a research topics itself, instead to group of authors only (e.g. from one university, country etc.) dealing with the same topics. On the other hand, repetitions of other scientist results without due citation, destroys the spirit of science itself.

A Time Domain Waveform for Testing General Relativity

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Gravitational-wave parameter estimation is only as good as the theory the waveform generation models are based upon. It is therefore crucial to test General Relativity (GR) once data becomes available. Many previous works, such as studies connected with the ppE framework by Yunes and Pretorius, rely on the stationary phase approximation (SPA) to model deviations from GR in the frequency domain. As Fast Fourier Transform algorithms have become considerably faster and in order to circumvent possible problems with the SPA, we test GR with corrected time domain waveforms instead of SPA waveforms. Since a considerable amount of work has been done already in the field using SPA waveforms, we establish a connection between leading-order-corrected waveforms in time and frequency domain, concentrating on phase-only corrected terms. In a Markov Chain Monte Carlo study, whose results are preliminary and will only be available later, we will assess the ability of the eLISA detector to measure deviations from GR for signals coming from supermassive black hole inspirals using these corrected waveforms.
