description: In group-living mammals, the eviction of subordinate females from breeding groups by dominants may serve to reduce feeding competition or to reduce breeding competition. Here, we combined both correlational and experimental approaches to investigate whether increases in food intake by dominant females reduces their tendency to evict subordinate females in wild meerkats (Suricata suricatta). We used 20 years of long-term data to examine the association between foraging success and eviction rate, and provisioned dominants females during the second half of their pregnancy, when they most commonly evict subordinates. We show that rather than reducing the tendency for dominants to evict subordinates, foraging success of dominant females is positively associated with the probability that pregnant dominant females will evict subordinate females and that experimental feeding increased their rates of eviction. Our results suggest that it is unlikely that the eviction of subordinate females serves to reduce feeding competition and that its principal function may be to reduce reproductive competition. The increase in eviction rates following experimental feeding also suggests that rather than feeding competition, energetic constraints may normally constrain eviction rates.

description: Coral reefs are currently experiencing substantial ecological impoverishment as a result of anthropogenic stressors and the majority of reefs are facing immediate risk. Increasing ocean surface temperatures induce frequent coral mass bleaching events—the breakdown of the nutritional photo-symbiosis with intracellular algae (genus: Symbiodinium). Here, we report that Stylophora pistillata from a highly diverse reef in the Gulf of Aqaba showed no signs of bleaching despite spending 1.5 months at 1–2°C above their long-term summer maximum (amounting to 11 degree heating weeks) and a seawater pH of 7.8. Instead, their symbiotic dinoflagellates exhibited improved photochemistry, higher pigmentation and a doubling in net oxygen production, leading to a 51% increase in primary productivity. Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry imaging revealed subtle cellular-level shifts in carbon and nitrogen metabolism under elevated temperatures, but overall host and symbiont biomass proxies were not significantly affected. Now living well below their thermal threshold in the Gulf of Aqaba, these corals have been evolutionary selected for heat tolerance during their migration through the warm Southern Red Sea after the last ice age. This may allow them to withstand future warming for a longer period of time, provided that successful environmental conservation measures are enacted across national boundaries in the region.

description: A graph $G$ has maximal local edge-connectivity $k$ if the maximum number of edge-disjoint paths between every pair of distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ is at most $k$. We prove Brooks-type theorems for $k$-connected graphs with maximal local edge-connectivity $k$, and for any graph with maximal local edge-connectivity 3. We also consider several related graph classes defined by constraints on connectivity. In particular, we show that there is a polynomial-time algorithm that, given a 3-connected graph $G$ with maximal local connectivity 3, outputs an optimal colouring for $G$. On the other hand, we prove, for $k \ge 3$, that $k$-colourability is NP-complete when restricted to minimally $k$-connected graphs, and 3-colourability is NP-complete when restricted to $(k-1)$-connected graphs with maximal local connectivity $k$. Finally, we consider a parameterization of $k$-colourability based on the number of vertices of degree at least $k+1$, and prove that, even when $k$ is part of the input, the corresponding parameterized problem is FPT.

description: Elevated atmospheric CO2 increases plant C fixation, and much of the soluble C content of deciduous leaf litter entering streams is leached as dissolved organic C (DOC). The effects of DOC from trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michaux) leaf litter grown under elevated (ELEV ! 720 ppm) and ambient (AMB! 360 ppm) CO2 on stream periphyton were measured during a 35-d experiment in outdoor artificial stream chambers. Crayfish feeding preferences for periphyton grown in AMB and ELEV treatments were evaluated in short-term foraging trials using a Y-maze. Periphyton was sampled through time for ash- free dry mass (AFDM), chlorophyll a, total C:N, algal biovolume and species composition, and bacterial productivity and biomass. Leaf litter from plants grown under ELEV CO2 produced higher concentrations of refractory DOC than did leaf litter from plants grown under AMB CO2, and chlorophyll a concentrations were lower in periphyton enriched with ELEV DOC than in periphyton enriched with AMB DOC. ELEV DOC did not significantly affect bacterial productivity and biomass or total periphyton C:N, but cyanobacterial biovolume was higher in ELEValgal assemblages than in AMB algal assemblages after 35 d. AMB algal assemblages were dominated by the diatom Epithemia adnata var. proboscidea, which contains N- fixing endosymbionts. Orconectes virilis crayfish preferred AMB periphyton stimulus when offered the choice of AMB and ELEV stimuli or AMB and control stimuli. Our results suggest that DOC from trembling aspen leaf litter produced under ELEV CO2 alters algal accrual and species assemblages of stream periphyton, and this shift in basal resource quantity and quality could affect feeding preferences of crayfish.

description: We show that, for any n, there are m-outcome quantum correlations, with m>n, which are stronger than any nonsignaling correlation produced from selecting among n-outcome measurements. As a consequence, for any n, there are m-outcome quantum measurements that cannot be constructed by selecting locally from the set of n-outcome measurements. This is a property of the set of measurements in quantum theory that is not mandatory for general probabilistic theories. We also show that this prediction can be tested through high-precision Bell-type experiments and identify past experiments providing evidence that some of these strong correlations exist in nature. Finally, we provide a modified version of quantum theory restricted to having at most n-outcome quantum measurements.

Correlation Between Shutdown Orders and CO Levels Across the United States

Year: 2023

description: Research was conducted in summer 2020 to analyze the effect of the shutdown orders due to COVID-19 pandemic on the CO levels across the United States. Since the shutdown orders during the pandemic prevented any public places from operating or conducting any kind of business, the hypothesis was that the CO levels would go down since there was no commute happening or buildings being used. Data was collected from the EPA’s Air Quality public data and analyzed in R: a powerful program used to analyze large datasets. The 15 states analyzed were based on the greatest number of cases on August 20th 2020. Each state had its data, with multiple counties and with multiple sites in each county. In almost every single state, the CO levels went down starting from February, with the lowest CO levels during the shutdown, indicating that the shutdown likely could have led to a decrease in CO levels. As some states opened, the CO level started rising then fluctuating.

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the loadings on the water quality of Corpus Christi Bay which could be attributable to urban runoff. Water quality and quantity models previously developed were utilized and applied to the study area. These models predict the storm runoff hydrograph for a given rainfall and the concentration of 13 different water quality parameters at selected time intervals during the storm. The runoff model was used to predict storm runoff for comparison with actual flow data for the gaging station on Oso Creek. Good results were obtained for two different storm events. The models were then applied to the remaining urban subareas using a "maximum" storm of 2.10 inches and the "average" storm of 0.48 inches over a six hour period. Results indicate the strength of the pollution found in urban runoff is somewhat less than the strength of untreated municipal wastewater for Corpus Christi, Texas. However, the loads from the runoff are significant and should be recognized as a source of pollution
Mott-Hubbard transition and spin-liquid state on the pyrochlore lattice

description: The pyrochlore lattice involves corner sharing tetrahedra and the resulting geometric frustration is believed to suppress any antiferromagnetic order for Mott insulators on this structure. There are nevertheless short-range correlations which could be vital near the Mott-Hubbard insulator-metal transition. We use a static auxiliary-field-based Monte Carlo to study this problem in real space on reasonably large lattices. The method reduces to unrestricted Hartree-Fock at zero temperature but captures the key magnetic fluctuations at finite temperature. Our results reveal that increasing interaction drives the non magnetic (semi) metal to a 'spin disordered' metal with small local moments, at some critical coupling, and then, through a small pseudogap window, to a large moment, gapped, Mott insulating phase at a larger oupling. The spin disordered metal has a finite residual resistivity which grows with interaction strength, diverging at the upper coupling. We present the resistivity, optical conductivity, and density of states across the metal-insulator transition and for varying temperature. These results set the stage for the more complex cases of Mott transition in the pyrochlore iridates and molybdates.

description: We report the observation of longitudinal spin Seebeck effects (LSSE) in an all-oxide bilayer system comprising an IrO$_2$ film and an Y$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ film. Spin currents generated by a temperature gradient across the IrO$_2$/Y$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ interface were detected as electric voltage via the inverse spin Hall effect in the conductive IrO$_2$ layer. This electric voltage is proportional to the magnitude of the temperature gradient and its magnetic field dependence is well consistent with the characteristic of the LSSE. This demonstration may lead to the realization of low-cost, stable, and transparent spin-current-driven thermoelectric devices.

description: HYPOTHESIS/INTRODUCTION: The association of ACE I/D polymorphism and hemodynamic response to exercise have been limited to primarily aerobic exercises. We hypothesized that D allele carriers would show greater hemodynamic response to resistance exercise, as has been observed with aerobic. This study aimed to investigate the association of ACE I/D polymorphism and hemodynamic (blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and rate-pressure product (RPP)) response to resistance exercise in young healthy subjects.MATERIALS AND METHODS: ACE I/D polymorphisms were studied by PCR analysis from 75 healthy men. Subjects completed a resistance exercise session of three sets of 10 knee extension repetitions with loads of 50, 75 and 100% of 10RM and two-minute rest intervals. Hemodynamic measures were recorded before and immediately after each set. Analysis of variance was used to identify significant differences among ACE genotypes. RESULTS: ACE I/D polymorphism is associated with hemodynamic response to resistance exercise, as healthy subjects with ACE D allele were prone to higher responses. In addition, this phenotypic difference seems to be a load-dependent trend. CONCLUSION: ACE DD carriers exhibit greater heart work during resistance exercise. Future studies should focus on the influence of resistance training period with different workloads on the hemodynamic response in healthy individuals with different ACE genotypes.

description: We find that several layer-phase group-III monochalcogenides, including GaS, GaSe and InSe, are piezoelectric in the monolayer form. First-principles calculations reveal that the piezoelectric coefficients of monolayer GaS, GaSe and InSe are on the same order of magnitude as the earlier discovered two-dimensional piezoelectric materials, such as BN and MoS2 monolayers. Our study expands the family of two dimensional piezoelectric materials, suggesting that strong piezoelectric response can occur in a wide range of two dimensional materials with broken inversion symmetry. The co-existence of piezoelectricity and superior photo-sensitivity in these two-dimensional semiconductors enables the integration of electromechanical and optical sensors on the same material platform.

In another vein, transformative learning, in its continuing evolution since inception in the 1970s, has become a respected and desirable goal of adult higher education. This study explores transformative teaching and learning in a case study professional technical college and reveals the methods and transformative potential present in the curriculum, educators, and students to such a capacity as to debunk the stigma. The findings uncover an educational framework that lays a foundation for transformative potential and supports the claim of professional technical education not as a siloed path for the non-college bound, but as an education on par with other respected four-year routes. It is time to drop the labels and recognize all tertiary levels for what they are – higher education.

Interviews

description: Implementing open social science (OSS) innovations focuses in large part on showing more of the concrete evidence that underpins analysis of findings and researchers’ conclusions and arguments. Many commentators have cast doubt on how far OSS approaches can be applied in qualitative research, suggesting that only limited openness can be achieved, especially where a large part of the evidence-base comes from qualitative interviews. Some forms of interviews aiming to recover the ’life-world’ of interviewees as a whole, and as they see it, may be feasible to do on a fully ‘on the record’ basis where archiving of whole transcripts or recordings is feasible with the permission of interviewees. By contrast, for elite and specialized interviewing and conversations are ‘off the record’, then transcripts and recordings cannot be archived or shared with other researchers. However, most such interviews are now conducted on a ‘non-attributable’ basis where direct quotations are allowed so long as they are completely anonymized. With care, it may be feasible to achieve non-straightforward ways of archiving or allowing re-access to such materials. Finally, changes in interview technologies towards using digital methods have opened up new ways of conducting and making available interviewing that might begin to approximate systematic podcasting or video-casting interviews. This event was part of a series of seminars organised to support the development of the CIVICA Research Open Science Handbook for the Social Sciences.

description: We have used time-resolved spectroscopy to measure the colour dependence of pulsation amplitudes in the DAV white dwarf G29-38. Model atmospheres predict that mode amplitudes should change with wavelength in a manner that depends on the spherical harmonic degree ℓ of the mode. This dependence arises from the convolution of mode geometry with wavelength-dependent limb darkening. Our analysis of the six largest normal modes detected in Keck observations of G29-38 reveals one mode with a colour dependence different from the other five, permitting us to identify the ℓ-value of all six modes and to test the model predictions. The Keck observations also show pulsation amplitudes that are unexpectedly asymmetric within absorption lines. We show that these asymmetries arise from surface motions associated with the non-radial pulsations (which are discussed in detail in a companion paper). By incorporating surface velocity fields into line profile calculations, we are able to produce models that more closely resemble the observations.

description: We present time-resolved spectrophotometry of the pulsating DA white dwarf G29-38. As in previous broad-band photometry, the light curve shows the presence of a large number of periodicities. Many of these are combination frequencies, i.e. periodicities occurring at frequencies that are sums or differences of frequencies of stronger, real modes. We identify at least six real modes, and at least five combination frequencies. We measure line-of-sight velocities for our spectra and detect periodic variations at the frequencies of five of the six real modes, with amplitudes of up to 5 km s−1. We argue that these variations reflect the horizontal surface motion associated with the g-mode pulsations. No velocity signals are detected at any of the combination frequencies, confirming that the flux variations at these frequencies do not reflect physical pulsation, but rather reflect mixing of frequencies owing to a non-linear transformation in the outer layers of the star. We discuss the amplitude ratios and phase differences found for the velocity and light variations, as well as those found for the real modes and their combination frequencies, both in a model-independent way and in the context of models based on the convective-driving mechanism. In a companion paper, we use the wavelength dependence of the amplitudes of the modes to infer their spherical degree.

description: Micronutrient malnutrition, often referred to as “hidden hunger,” remains a widespread global concern. Given the central role of cereals and legumes in the diets of individuals at risk of micronutrient deficiencies and their widespread accessibility, breeding for mineral density in staple crops, known as “biofortification,” presents a sustainable strategy to improve human health and overall wellbeing. The global introduction (Chapter 1) of this dissertation examines the resources and challenges of integrating biofortification research into plant breeding programs in the United States, with a particular focus on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). As scoping reviews are essential for the advancement of biofortification and effective nutrition interventions, Chapter 2 outlines a scoping review protocol to map the usage of the biofortification term in peer-reviewed literature, aiming to identify prevalent definitions, research outcomes, and knowledge gaps with the overall goal to develop a standard definition. The chapter also discusses the importance of providing a comprehensive review of biofortification research that can serve as a valuable tool for assessing the current state of knowledge, setting research agendas, and advancing efforts to enhance global food security and nutrition. Chapters 3 and 4 describe the development of novel multi-element phenotyping methods that can be integrated into breeding programs. The first method validates microwave plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (MP-AES) to estimate nine mineral concentrations (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, manganese, zinc, iron, copper, and aluminum) with good recovering rates (93-120%) for cereals, pseudocereals, and legumes. The second method provides a high throughput method using energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) to quantify calcium, zinc, iron, manganese, and copper, suitable for screening in large wheat breeding populations. Finally, Chapter 5 evaluates Zn-efficiency in semi-dwarf near-isogenic lines of bread wheat. Identifying the effect of the widely deployed reduced height (Rht) genes on yield and grain Zn concentration of wheat plants grown in Zn-deficient soils will expand our understanding of the pleiotropic effects they might have in limiting current biofortification efforts. The findings from this project will improve our knowledge of grain mineral accumulation and provide germplasm for improving the nutritional value of crops, particularly wheat. In conclusion, this dissertation investigates the pressing global issue of micronutrient malnutrition and its potential mitigation through the biofortification of staple crops. The research describes scoping review methodology for robust evidence synthesis that can inform policy; developing multi-element phenotyping methods for row crops; and evaluating Zn-efficiency in wheat varieties, collectively contributing to a more nutritious agrifood system.
