Ontogenetic and interspecific variation in skull morphology of two closely related species of toad, Bufo bufo and B. spinosus (Anura: Bufonidae)
Creators: name: Sanna, Giovanni
Publisher: name: Acta Herpetologica
Year: 2019

description: Using micro-CT and 3D landmark-based geometric morphometrics, I investigated postmetamorphic shape variation in the skull of Bufo bufo and Bufo spinosus, two widespread European toad species with small phenotypic differences. Two ontogenetic series were compared, for a total of 58 individuals. They exhibited similar allometric growth patterns, characterised by cranial widening with relative shortening and dorsoventral compression. However, some interspecific shape divergence was observed, particularly among adults: a relatively shorter skull and a more dorsally extended snout distinguished B. spinosus from B. bufo. This disparity, which gives further support to species separation, can probably be ascribed to changes in the allometric trajectories, and seen in light of the evolutionary history of the two lineages.

description: This paper studies the heat equation $u_t=Δu$ in a bounded domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}(n\geq 2)$ with positive initial data and a local nonlinear Neumann boundary condition: the normal derivative $\partial u/\partial n=u^{q}$ on partial boundary $Γ_1\subseteq \partialΩ$ for some $q>1$, while $\partial u/\partial n=0$ on the other part. We investigate the lower bound of the blow-up time $T^{*}$ of $u$ in several aspects. First, $T^{*}$ is proved to be at least of order $(q-1)^{-1}$ as $q\rightarrow 1^{+}$. Since the existing upper bound is of order $(q-1)^{-1}$, this result is sharp. Secondly, if $Ω$ is convex and $|Γ_{1}|$ denotes the surface area of $Γ_{1}$, then $T^{*}$ is shown to be at least of order $|Γ_{1}|^{-\frac{1}{n-1}}$ for $n\geq 3$ and $|Γ_{1}|^{-1}\big/\ln\big(|Γ_{1}|^{-1}\big)$ for $n=2$ as $|Γ_{1}|\rightarrow 0$, while the previous result is $|Γ_{1}|^{-α}$ for any $α

description: O presente estudo de revisão narrativa teve como objetivos: a) rever os termos operacionais utilizados para a caracterização do comportamento sedentário; b) descrever as implicações para a saúde; e c) os principais métodos de avaliação do comportamento sedentário. Comportamento sedentário é o termo direcionado para as atividades que são realizadas na posição deitada ou sentada e que não aumentam o dispêndio energético acima dos níveis de repouso, ≤ 1.5 equivalentes metabólicos (METs). Ao analisar as implicações fisiológicas destes comportamentos para a saúde das pessoas é possível destacar a redução e/ou a cessação da contratilidade muscular como desencadeador do processo de diminuição da utilização da glicose pelos músculos, do aumento da insulina e do favorecimento da produção de lipídios que serão preferencialmente armazenados no tecido adiposo da região central do corpo, o qual por sua vez produz moléculas inflamatórias precursoras das doenças crónicas não transmissíveis. A inatividade física e a exposição prolongada a comportamentos sedentários devem ser avaliadas distintamente, respeitando as bases teóricas de cada constructo. O efeito prolongado da exposição aos comportamentos sedentários e da inatividade física ao longo do curso da vida favorece a potencialização dos efeitos nocivos de tais comportamentos na velhice e a mortalidade precoce.

Leggett-Garg inequalities for quantum fluctuating work

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: The Leggett-Garg inequalities serve to test whether or not quantum correlations in time can be explained within a classical macrorealistic framework. We apply this test to thermodynamics and derive a set of Leggett- Garg inequalities for the statistics of fluctuating work done on a quantum system unitarily driven in time. It is shown that these inequalities can be violated in a driven two-level system, thereby demonstrating that there exists no general macrorealistic description of quantum work. These violations are shown to emerge within the standard Two-Projective-Measurement scheme as well as for alternative definitions of fluctuating work that are based on weak measurement. Our results elucidate the influences of temporal correlations on work extraction in the quantum regime and highlight a key difference between quantum and classical thermodynamics.

Heavy neutrinos from gluon fusion

description: Heavy neutrinos, a key prediction of many standard model extensions, remain some of the most searched-for objects at collider experiments. In this context, we revisit the premise that the gluon fusion production mechanism, $gg \to Z^*/h^* \to Nν_\ell$, is phenomenologically irrelevant at the CERN LHC and report the impact of soft gluon corrections to the production cross section. We resum threshold logarithms up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy (N$^3$LL), thus capturing the dominant contributions to the inclusive cross section up to next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^2$LO). For $m_N > 150$ GeV and collider energies $\sqrt{s} = 7 - 100$ TeV, corrections to the Born rates span $+160$ to $+260\%$. At $\sqrt{s}$=14 TeV, the resummed channel is roughly equal in size to the widely-believed-to-be-dominant charged current Drell-Yan process and overtakes it outright at $\sqrt{s} \gtrsim 20-25$ TeV. Results are independent of the precise nature/mixing of $N$ and hold generically for other low-scale seesaws. Findings are also expected to hold for other exotic leptons and broken axial-vector currents, particularly as the $Z^*$ contribution identically reduces to that of a pseudoscalar.

Podarcis siculus latastei (Bedriaga, 1879) of the Western Pontine Islands (Italy) raised to the species rank, and a brief taxonomic overview of Podarcis lizards
Creators: name: Senczuk, Gabriele

description: In recent years, great attention has been paid to many Podarcis species for which the observed intra-specific variability often revealed species complexes still characterized by an unresolved relationship. When compared to other species, P. siculus underwent fewer revisions and the number of species hidden within this taxon may have been, therefore, underestimated. However, recent studies based on genetic and morphological data highlighted a marked differentiation of the populations inhabiting the Western Pontine Archipelago. In the present work we used published genetic data (three mitochondrial and three nuclear gene fragments) from 25 Podarcis species to provide a multilocus phylogeny of the genus in order to understand the degree of differentiation of the Western Pontine populations. In addition, we analyzed new morphometric traits (scale counts) of 151 specimens from the main islands of the Pontine Archipelago. The phylogenetic analysis revealed five principal Podarcis groups with biogeographic consistency. The genetic distinctiveness of the Podarcis populations of the Western Pontine Islands is similar or even more ancient than those observed in numerous other pairs of Podarcis sister species. In the light of these evidences we raise the Western Pontine lizards to specific rank; thus they should be referred to as Podarcis latastei.

description: Environmental factors may affect animal performance in diverse ways, even among different populations of a single species. Here, we assess the impact of substrate type on the sprint performance (maximum speed and acceleration) of Schreiber’s fringe-fingered lizard (Acanthodactylus schreiberi). This species is a skillful runner that also bears micro spike-like protruding scales on its toepads (toe fringes), an adaptation for locomotion on sand. We worked with three populations living in habitats that differ in substrate type (sand, soil and rock). We measured sprint performance using a race-track with custom substrate platforms replicating the different substrate types. We formulated two hypotheses: first, we anticipated that the three populations would differ in their sprint performance due to the differences in substrate type; second, we expected that each population would perform better on its home substrate. Our results generally refuted the hypothesis that sprint performance would differ on different substrate types. Our results suggest that there is a restricted effect of substrate type on locomotion and indicate a multifactor interplay among alternative underlying parameters.

description: In our study, a total of 2561 sequences that contained microsatellite loci were found potentially to be used for primer design. Furthermore, Illumina HiSeq sequencing technology identified trinucleotide repeats and AT-rich repeats with the the highest proportion in our genomic DNA sequence library of Fejervarya multistriata. Eighteen new microsatellite loci of F. multistriata were isolated and we characterize these loci genotyping 48 individuals sampled from 3 populations in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, China. Seventeen loci were polymorphic, with the number of alleles ranging from 2 to 11 within each population. The polymorphic information content, observed and expected heterozygosity ranged 0-0.845, 0-1.0 and 0-0.871, respectively. None of the loci was observed in linkage disequilibrium. One locus (FMA294) was deviated from Hardy-Winberg equilibrium in each population separately and combined. These informative microsatellite loci will be applicable for conservation genetic studies of F. multistriata across varying scales from inter-individual to inter-population.

When the lights went off and the sirens went, Mum pushed us under the stairs into a cubby hole; Dad was in the army. As soon as we heard the sirens, that was it. We waited until the buzzer went then it was all clear and we went out to see what damage was done.We heard on the grapevine that they had tried to bomb Lockheed [a major local factory, not far away whose office block was machine-gunned in 1942] and the railway, which was at the bottom of our garden. There was a bomb - it dropped on The Close. [Hall's Close, Whitnash, 20 November 1940 - an unexploded shell fell in open ground].

description: We focus on a recently experimentally realized scenario of normal-metal-insulator-superconductor tunnel junctions coupled to a superconducting resonator. We develop a first-principles theory to describe the effect of photon-assisted electron tunneling on the quantum state of the resonator. Our results are in very good quantitative agreement with the previous experiments on refrigeration and heating of the resonator using the photon-assisted tunneling, thus providing a stringent verification of the developed theory. Importantly, our results provide simple analytical estimates of the voltage-tunable coupling strength and temperature of the thermal reservoir formed by the photon-assisted tunneling. Consequently, they are used to introduce optimization principles for initialization of quantum devices using such a quantum-circuit refrigerator. Thanks to the first-principles nature of our approach, extension of the theory to the full spectrum of quantum electric devices seems plausible.

description: Temporal lobe surgical resection brings seizure remission in up to 80% of patients, with long-term complete seizure freedom in 41%. However, it is unclear how surgery impacts on the structural white matter network, and how the network changes relate to seizure outcome. We used white matter fibre tractography on preoperative diffusion MRI to generate a structural white matter network, and postoperative T1-weighted MRI to retrospectively infer the impact of surgical resection on this network. We then applied graph theory and machine learning to investigate the properties of change between the preoperative and predicted postoperative networks. Temporal lobe surgery had a modest impact on global network efficiency, despite the disruption caused. This was due to alternative shortest paths in the network leading to widespread increases in betweenness centrality post-surgery. Measurements of network change could retrospectively predict seizure outcomes with 79% accuracy and 65% specificity, which is twice as high as the empirical distribution. Fifteen connections which changed due to surgery were identified as useful for prediction of outcome, eight of which connected to the ipsilateral temporal pole. Our results suggest that the use of network change metrics may have clinical value for predicting seizure outcome. This approach could be used to prospectively predict outcomes given a suggested resection mask using preoperative data only.

description: We introduce several classes of quantum combinatorial designs, namely quantum Latin squares, cubes, hypercubes and a notion of orthogonality between them. A further introduced notion, quantum orthogonal arrays, generalizes all previous classes of designs. We show that mutually orthogonal quantum Latin arrangements can be entangled in the same way than quantum states are entangled. Furthermore, we show that such designs naturally define a remarkable class of genuinely multipartite highly entangled states called $k$-uniform, i.e. multipartite pure states such that every reduction to $k$ parties is maximally mixed. We derive infinitely many classes of mutually orthogonal quantum Latin arrangements and quantum orthogonal arrays having an arbitrary large number of columns. The corresponding multipartite $k$-uniform states exhibit a high persistency of entanglement, which makes them ideal candidates to develop multipartite quantum information protocols.

We study $Δ_ρ (H)$ for transfer Krull monoids of finite type (including commutative Krull domains with finite class group) with methods from additive combinatorics, and also for a class of weakly Krull domains (including orders in algebraic number fields) for which we use ideal theoretic methods.

description: The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class describes a broad range of non-equilibrium fluctuations, including those of growing interfaces, directed polymers and particle transport, to name but a few. Since the year 2000, our understanding of the one-dimensional KPZ class has been completely renewed by mathematical physics approaches based on exact solutions. Mathematical physics has played a central role since then, leading to a myriad of new developments, but their implications are clearly not limited to mathematics -- as a matter of fact, it can also be studied experimentally. The aim of these lecture notes is to provide an introduction to the field that is accessible to non-specialists, reviewing basic properties of the KPZ class and highlighting main physical outcomes of mathematical developments since the year 2000. It is written in a brief and self-contained manner, with emphasis put on physical intuitions and implications, while only a small (and mostly not the latest) fraction of mathematical developments could be covered. Liquid-crystal experiments by the author and coworkers are also reviewed.

description: Using the strain-dependent effective Hamiltonian and the geometric phase, Droth et al. [Phys. Rev. B 94, 075404 (2016)] obtain an analytical expression for the electronic contribution to the piezoelectricity of planar hexagonal boron nitride (h -BN). Their analytical results of piezoelectric constants for h -BN are invalid because of the mistakes in constructing the adiabatic process of the piezoelectricity. In this comment, we reconstruct a proper adiabatic process for piezoelectricity and formulate a general Berry phase expression for the piezoelectric coefficients of two-dimensional piezoelectric crystals by means of the modern theory of polarization. The corrected analytical results of the piezoelectric constants are in complete consistency with the first-principles calculations and hence manifest the validity and generality of the Berry phase expression of piezoelectric coefficients.

description: This knit sweater was on display in Bletchley Park. There is no connection to codebreakers. It was knitted for the contributor's father by her mother who otherwise hated knitting. This Fair Isle waistcoat was knitted in February 1943 for Arthur John Gloys by his bride-to-be Joan Lilian Cartwright. Arthur came to Coventry from the Rhondda Valley in South Wales for war work in a factory but was called up to be a 'Bevin Boy' and worked in a local mine. Joan was born and lived her whole life in Holbrooks, Coventry. They met in an air raid shelter in 1940 and married at St Giles' Church on April 8, 1944.The waistcoat was knitted from darning wool because it did not need rationing coupons; it cost 15 shillings 75p in decimal currency. It was worn by Arthur all through his life and for the last time at St Luke's Church Memorial Day Service in 2010 when Joan and Arthur gave a talk about their war experiences to the Scouts, other organisations, and the congregation.Arthur died in March 2011 five weeks before his 90th birthday and after almost 67 years of a very happy marriage. Joan died in April 2016; she was almost 91.

description: Composite pulses are essential for universal manipulation of singlet-triplet spin qubits. In the absence of noise, they are required to perform arbitrary single-qubit operations due to the special control constraint of a singlet-triplet qubits; while in a noisy environment, more complicated sequences have been developed to dynamically correct the error. Tailoring these sequences typically requires numerically solving a set of nonlinear equations. Here we demonstrate that these pulse sequences can be generated by a well-trained, double-layer neural network. For sequences designed for the noise-free case, the trained neural network is capable of producing almost exactly the same pulses known in the literature. For more complicated noise-correcting sequences, the neural network produces pulses with slightly different line-shapes, but the robustness against noises remains comparable. These results indicate that the neural network can be a judicious and powerful alternative to existing techniques, in developing pulse sequences for universal fault-tolerant quantum computation.

description: In this work, we study the accuracy and efficiency of hierarchical matrix ($\mathcal{H}$-matrix) based fast methods for solving dense linear systems arising from the discretization of the 3D elastodynamic Green's tensors. It is well known in the literature that standard $\mathcal{H}$-matrix based methods, although very efficient tools for asymptotically smooth kernels, are not optimal for oscillatory kernels. $\mathcal{H}^2$-matrix and directional approaches have been proposed to overcome this problem. However the implementation of such methods is much more involved than the standard $\mathcal{H}$-matrix representation. The central questions we address are twofold. (i) What is the frequency-range in which the $\mathcal{H}$-matrix format is an efficient representation for 3D elastodynamic problems? (ii) What can be expected of such an approach to model problems in mechanical engineering? We show that even though the method is not optimal (in the sense that more involved representations can lead to faster algorithms) an efficient solver can be easily developed. The capabilities of the method are illustrated on numerical examples using the Boundary Element Method.

description: The relativistic mean-field models tested in previous works against nuclear matter experimental values, critical parameters and macroscopic stellar properties are revisited and used in the evaluation of the symmetry energy $γ$ parameter obtained in three different ways. We have checked that independent of the choice made to calculate the $γ$ values, a trend of linear correlation is observed between $γ$ and the symmetry energy ($\mathcal{S}_0$) and a more clear linear relationship is established between $γ$ and the slope of the symmetry energy ($L_0$). These results directly contribute to the arising of other linear correlations between $γ$ and the neutron star radii of $R_{1.0}$ and $R_{1.4}$, in agreement with recent findings. Finally, we have found that short-range correlations induce two specific parametrizations, namely, IU-FSU and DD-ME$δ$, simultaneouslycompatible with the neutron star mass constraint of $1.93 < M_{max}/M_\odot < 2.05$ and with the overlap band for the $L_0\times\mathcal{S}_0$ region, to present $γ$ in the range of $γ=0.25\pm0.05$.

PLEKHN1 fused with a C-terminal HaloTag were co-produced with their interaction proteins using human cell-free expression system. The resulting protein complexes were captured by an anti-GST antibody-coated ELISA plate, and retention of AnkX-HaloTag was detected immunologically. These interaction proteins were selected based on the signal-to-noise ratio above 3. The HaloTag was used as a negative control. The Rab35 and LidA were employed as a positive control. (DOCX 3407 kb)
Maps on statistical manifolds exactly reduced from the Perron-Frobenius equations for solvable chaotic maps

description: Maps on a parameter space for expressing distribution functions are exactly derived from the Perron-Frobenius equations for a generalized Boole transform family. Here the generalized Boole transform family is a one-parameter family of maps where it is defined on a subset of the real line and its probability distribution function is the Cauchy distribution with some parameters. With this reduction, some relations between the statistical picture and the orbital one are shown. From the viewpoint of information geometry, the parameter space can be identified with a statistical manifold, and then it is shown that the derived maps can be characterized. Also, with an induced symplectic structure from a statistical structure, symplectic and information geometric aspects of the derived maps are discussed.
title: Soil Metal Distribution in Parks and Playgrounds in Select Municipalities in Metro Vancouver

description: 2024
description: This study was conducted to identify the soil metal profile in parks and playgrounds in select municipalities in Metro Vancouver that have been rapidly developing during the past few years. Sixty-eight soil samples were analyzed for metals including As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Sn, U, V, and Zn by X-Ray Florescence and assessed against the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) soil quality guidelines (SQG) for residential/parkland use. In vitro bioaccessibility analyses were also conducted to determine the human health risk associated with ingestion of metals present in the soil samples. Metal concentrations and the bioaccessibility results suggested that the human health risk associated with accidental ingestion of contaminated soils at parks and playgrounds where samples were collected was minimal. For Ba, which exceeded the CCME SQG, with moderate bioaccessibility, may suggest a potential risk to human health.
Compactifications of the moduli space of plane quartics and two lines

description: We study the moduli space of triples $(C, L_1, L_2)$ consisting of quartic curves $C$ and lines $L_1$ and $L_2$. Specifically, we construct and compactify the moduli space in two ways: via geometric invariant theory (GIT) and by using the period map of certain lattice polarized $K3$ surfaces. The GIT construction depends on two parameters $t_1$ and $t_2$ which correspond to the choice of a linearization. For $t_1=t_2=1$ we describe the GIT moduli explicitly and relate it to the construction via $K3$ surfaces.

Renormalizability and Newtonian potential in scale-invariant gravity

description: There is a conjecture that renormalizable higher-derivative gravity has a finite classical potential at the origin. In this work we show clearly that the scale-invariant gravity (SIG) satisfies the conjecture. This gravity produces the better-behaved $1/k^4$ UV behavior as needed for renormalizability. It turns out that the SIG has the linear classical potential of $V\propto r$ and it is a UV complete theory.

nanopore

description: The potato is one of the most important food crops worldwide. Improvements to its traits can therefore have a major impact. Reading the genome structure of the potato is extremely tricky, however, as a regular potato consists of four genomes, which makes it difficult to determine the position of the genes. The recent research applied a diploid real potato plant with only one genome, a so-called homozygote, which makes it easier to read and compare the DNA base sequence. This line, Solyntus, was produced as part of Solynta’s hybrid potato breeding programme.
