description: Anaplasma marginale is an obligate intracellular gram-negative bacterial pathogen of ruminants. It is the etymological agent of bovine anaplasmosis, which is the most prevalent tick-borne cattle disease in the word. Despite its prevalence and severe economic impacts, few effective control measures exist for A. marginale. Antibiotic treatment, acaricide baths, and vaccines are currently used to reduce infection and attenuate disease severity, but none of these measures can completely prevent infection or eradicate the bacteria after infection of the bovine host is established. This work focuses on Rickettsia bellii, an endosymbiont of multiple species of ticks, some of which transmit A. marginale. In previously published works, our lab has shown that the presence and prevalence of R. bellii in Dermacentor andersoni affects the tick’s capacity to acquire A. marginale from infected cattle. The work presented here tests the interaction through mixed infection of D. andersoni cell culture with both A. marginale, and R. bellii. Using this approach, we identify effects of R. bellii infection on A. marginale’s capacity to establish infection in D. andersoni cells, as well as its ability to grow in host cells after infection is established. Additionally, we predict effectors secreted through the type IV secretion system of R. bellii, along with seven other species of Rickettsia from across the genus. This work leads to a better understanding of the genus Rickettsia and its strategies for host infection, as well as producing a list of candidate effectors found in R. bellii with potential associations with the attenuation of A. marginale infection observed in the mixed infection experiments. These analyses bring us closer to a mechanistic understanding of the effect of R. bellii on A. marginale infection of D. andersoni, which in turn may lead to new treatment strategies for bovine anaplasmosis through manipulation of tick vectors.

description: Fex(CoNi)1-x (x=0.14, 0.20, 0.25) ternary alloy nanoparticles were fabricated by a self-catalyzed reduction method at a low temperature. The investigation of static magnetic properties revealed both saturation magnetization and coercive force enhanced with increasing Fe content. By dispersing alloy nanoparticles into paraffin matrix homogeneously, the electromagnetic properties of them were investigated experimentally and the electromagnetic absorption performances were calculated according to transmission line theory. Significant dielectric relaxation was found in the low Fe content sample, which is dominant in dielectric loss. The magnetic loss was attributed to natural resonance and the resonance peaks' shift to high frequency region with increasing Fe content. The enhanced electromagnetic absorption performances were obtained by adjusting Fe content to balance electromagnetic parameters, because the electromagnetic parameters can be varied by structural and magnetic properties.

description: Tree-ring records spanning the past seven centuries from the central and southern Rocky Mountains were studied using wavelet analysis to examine multidecadal (>30-70 yr) patterns of drought variation. Fifteen tree-ring series were grouped into five regional composite chronologies based on shared low-frequency behavior. Strong multidecadal phasing of moisture variation was present in all regions during the late 16th century megadrought. Oscillatory modes in the 30-70 yr domain persisted until the mid-19th century in two regions, and wet-dry cycles were apparently synchronous at some sites until the 1950s drought. The 16th/17th century pattern of severe multidecadal drought followed by decades of wet conditions resembles the 1950s drought and post-1976 wet period. The 16th century megadrought, which may have resulted from coupling of a decadal (similar to 20-30 yr) Pacific cool phase with a multidecadal warm phase in the North Atlantic, marked a substantial reorganization of climate in the Rocky Mountain region.

description: This study evaluated the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model-simulated clouds and boundary layer (BL) properties based upon Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Climate Research Facility observations at the North Slope of Alaska site during 1999-2007. The ECMWF model-simulated near-surface humidity had seasonal dependent biases as large as 20%, while also experiencing difficulty representing BL temperature inversion height and strength during the transition seasons. Although the ECMWF model captured the seasonal variation of surface heat fluxes, it had sensible heat flux biases over 20 W m-2 in most of the cold months. Furthermore, even though the model captured the general seasonal variations of low-level cloud fraction (LCF) and liquid water path (LWP), it still overestimated the LCF by 20% or more and underestimated the LWP over 50% in the cold season. On average, the ECMWF model underestimated LWP by ~30 g m-2 but more accurately predicted ice water path for BL clouds. For BL mixed-phase clouds, the model predicted water-ice mass partition was significantly lower than the observations, largely due to the temperature dependence of water-ice mass partition used in the model. The ECMWF model captured the general response of cloud fraction and LWP on large-scale vertical motion changes but overpredicted the magnitude of the difference, especially for LWP. The new cloud and BL schemes of the ECMWF model that were implemented after 2003 only resulted in minor improvements in BL cloud simulations in summer. These results indicate that significant improvements in cold season BL and mixed-phase cloud processes in the model are needed.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The ability of fish to select an optimal habitat allow to respond to inappropriate environmental factors and in doing so to improve the physiological conditions. Fish react to almost every conceivable environmental factor. Environmental temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, and salinity are significant, because they directly determine metabolic scope in fish and develop strong gradients in the seas. In the shallow waters of the Baltic Sea strong lack of oxygen exists in areas where young cod (Gadus morhua) grow. Especially in the areas of the Belt Sea and the Kiel Bay, the water temperatures as well as salinity contents drastically fluctuate within a couple of hours (Gerlach & Kortum 1992); oxygen deficit is a phenomenon that has always been observed (Ruppin 1912; Gerlach 1984, 1988; Ruhmohr 1986; Babenerd & Meyerhöfer 1988) Continuous recordings of temperature, dissolved oxygen concentrations, and salinity in Kiel Bay show a strong coupling of these factors, especially in the stratified water column during summer. Cod react to every of these variables; the preference for one finally determines the distribution of the fish within the area. Studies of Schurmann and Steffensen (1992, 1994) show the response of cod to various combines of temperature and dissolved oxygen concentrations and metabolic response (1997). The hypoxia tolerance was investigated by Chabot et al. (1999) and Plante et al. (1998). However, the results do not explain how cod react to a stratified water column with high temperatures and high dissolved oxygen concentrations in the surface water and low temperatures and dissolved oxygen concentrations in the bottom layer. The purpose of this study was to examine the response of juvenile cod as related to typical changes of temperature and dissolved oxygen in Kiel Fjord (Kiel Bay, Western Baltic Sea) under laboratory conditions. The study aimed at the description preferences (temperature, dissolved oxygen) in order to better understand habitat selection of young cod. This paper presents preliminary results of experimental investigations that will be continued.

description: Studies of genetic variation across hybrid zones have demonstrated that the evolutionary dynamics within them are often complicated. Using DNA extracted from toe pads of 701 individuals collected by Sibley and Short (1964) about 50 years ago from across the Icterus bullockii-I. galbula hybrid zone, we calculated mitochondrial cline shape parameters and compared them with plumage-based inferences of the hybrid-zone structure. Genetic and hybrid index score clines, estimated from populations collected along the Platte River in Nebraska, were both concordant (equal widths) and coincident (same center). More generally, the proportion of I. bullockii haplotypes within a sampling locality was strongly and significantly correlated with mean hybrid index scores across Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. The relatively narrow width of the mitochondrial cline (328 km) indicates selection against hybridization, which may be mediated through differences in either molt and migration schedules or thermoregulatory capabilities (or both) of the parental species. Our results provide the first robust historical genetic characterization of this avian hybrid zone, laying the foundation for more in-depth investigations of temporal patterns of gene flow and introgression.
Application of geochemical markers to fisheries ecology

description: A thorough comprehension of the life history traits of fish populations is necessary for the effective conservation and management of fisheries resources. Fisheries geochemistry is an interdisciplinary approach that merges ecology, chemistry, and geology to provide answers to various life history questions. The overall objective of this dissertation is to enhance the utility of fisheries geochemistry to gain deeper insights into the life history of fish, particularly with regards to the challenges posted by global climate change. The work presented here focuses specifically on the development of geochemical markers to investigate temperature, metabolism, and origin in Pacific salmon. First, Chapter 2 presents a review of methods used for the analysis of calcified fish structures, including a discussion of analytical techniques, their strengths and limitations, avenues for future development, and reporting requirements. Second, Chapter 3 investigates the temperature-dependent fractionation of otolith oxygen isotopes in juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), introducing a species-specific fractionation equation that can be used to retrospectively determine temperature that fish were exposed to. Third, Chapter 4 explores the use of otolith carbon isotopes in juvenile Chinook salmon as a proxy for metabolism. This study resulted in a quantification of the relationship between the proportion of metabolic carbon in the otolith and specific respiration rate (as a measure of metabolism), which can be applied to wild Chinook salmon to examine individual and population specific differences in metabolism. Fourth, Chapter 5 uses strontium isotopes to determine if adult pink salmon (O. gorbuscha) captured in the Arctic are locally produced. This study indicated that while most fish did not originate in the region, Arctic origin could not be ruled out for a small but notable proportion of fish. Taken together, the information presented in this dissertation enhances the utility of fisheries geochemistry as a tool to investigate trends in temperature, metabolism, and habitat use patterns, particularly as they relate to long-term shifts driven by global climate change. The information presented here can be applied in future studies to uncover crucial insights into fish life history and how life history traits can significantly shift in response to perturbations in climate.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Numerous investigations have shown that growth rate of the Barents Sea cod is primarily determined by two factors, food supply and water temperature. With this in view, a prognostic model for estimation of cod growth has been developed. Weight increment rate in cod was computed on the basis of food consumption expressed as energy units. The model is based on the concepts of maximum food consumption depending on fish length and environment temperature, of the feeding level depending on food supply, as well as of food suitability coefficients and prey availability. Model parameters were estimated using cod stomach data for 1984-1999 presented in the Russian-Norwegian database. The data derived by quantitative analysis of cod stomach content were aggregated on a quarterly basis, without area differentiation. Heat content in the Barents Sea was defined by the data on mean annual temperature in the 150-200 m layer of the Kola Meridian section. All computations by the model were cohort-based, with a time step of one year. Tuning of the model by the observed data, as well as simulation of cod growth at different water temperatures and food supply conditions, has indicated the extent to which cod stock dynamics in the Barents Sea is affected by the above factors

description: We assessed the effects of range disjunction, migratory habit, coloniality, and habitat structure on the genetic differentiation of North American Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) populations. Burrowing Owls in North America comprise two forms or subspecies: A. c. floridana in Florida, separated by ~1,500 km from the western form, A. c. hypugaea, which ranges from Texas to California and north to southern Canada. Burrowing Owls tend to be loosely colonial, and both the Florida populations and southerly populations of A. c. hypugaea from California to Texas are nonmigratory. To assess genetic structure, we examined 201 individuals from nine western and six Florida populations at seven highly variable microsatellite DNA loci. Mean gene diversity (H-exp) was higher in the west than in Florida (0.539 and 0.341, respectively; P < 0.05). Populations within subspecies were essentially panmictic (A. c. floridana: θ = 0.038, ρ = 0.014; A. c. hypugaea: θ = 0.014, ρ = 0.009) and even genetic differentiation across subspecies was modest (θ = 0.051, ρ = 0.014). Nevertheless, the western and Florida forms were easily distinguished by any of several criteria, such as allelic absences in Florida, assignment tests, and well-supported branches on the inferred phylogenetic tree. Genetic differentiation was at least twice as great in resident Florida (θ = 0.038) and California (θ = 0.021) populations as in migratory western populations (θ = 0.012), though 95% confidence intervals of theta estimates overlapped. We found no evidence of a genetic bottleneck that would result in evolutionary disequilibrium within subspecies. In the west, high observed heterozygosity values and evidence of gene flow suggest that population declines and patchy habitat, which currently imperil this species throughout much of its range, have not led to inbreeding or biologically meaningful genetic differentiation among the sampled populations.

description: Central to Douglas Northrop's archivally based study of the Soviet attempt to unveil Uzbek women is the argument that the Soviet Union was a colonial empire, one where Bolsheviks tried to transform daily cultural practices and gender relations against the wishes of most Uzbeks, who responded as colonial subjects by using weapons of the weak. Northrop's use of previously unavailable Communist Party documents allows an exploration of the Party's arguments for and against unveiling, and describes the Party's surprise at the vehemence and violence of anti-unveiling resistance in Uzbekistan. Starting with the 1927 Communist Party initiation of the Hujum—or campaign against veiling in Soviet Uzbekistan—this work's exclusive focus on the unveiling campaign allows Northrop to reveal that resistance to unveiling and other laws concerning "liberation" continued into the 1950s, and to examine the ways that intrusion into family life and cultural practices served the Party as a tool for defining loyalty during the Stalinist period. Northrop far exceeds Gregory Massell's The Surrogate Proletariat: Moslem Women and Revolutionary Strategies in Soviet Central Asia, 1919–1929 (1974) in exploring Party arguments over policies toward Central Asia.

Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Measurements from an array of current meter moorings along a section between Norway and Bear Island indicate that the seasonal mean of inflowing Atlantic Water extends further to the north during the summer than during the winter. To further investigate this seasonal divergence and the transport routes of Atlantic Water in the western Barents Sea, numerical experiments of tracer advection have been performed. The numerical results agree with the observations by showing a more northerly transport route of tracer water masses in the western Barents Sea during summer. The tracer water masses originate in the core of the Atlantic Water inflow at the Norway-Bear Island section, thus represents an indication of the transport routes of the Atlantic Water. The main reason for this change from summer to winter is probably the seasonal changes in the atmospheric fields.

A New Theory on Evolution and Genetic-Environmental Interaction
Creators: name: Mirza, Aoun Abbas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This paper introduces the Integrated Genetic Response Theory (IGRT), proposing that evolution is not solely driven by natural selection but by a dynamic interaction between genetic predispositions and external environmental "codes." It suggests that organisms adapt not randomly but through genetic activation triggered by specific environmental conditions. Using examples like adaptation to high-altitude environments, IGRT provides a new perspective on genetic adaptation, challenging traditional evolutionary models and offering fresh insights into the role of genetics and environment in shaping life.

description: In seismic waveform analysis and inversion, data functionals can be used to quantify the misfit between observed and model-predicted (synthetic) seismograms. The generalized seismological data functionals (GSDF) of Gee & Jordan quantify waveform differences using frequency-dependent phase-delay times and amplitude-reduction times measured on time-localized arrivals and have been successfully applied to tomographic inversions at different geographic scales as well as to inversions for earthquake source parameters. The seismogram perturbation kernel is defined as the Fréchet kernel of the data functional with respect to the seismic waveform from which the data functional is derived. The data sensitivity kernel, which is the Fréchet kernel of the data functional with respect to structural model parameters, can be obtained by composing the seismogram perturbation kernel with the Born kernel through the chain rule. In this paper, we extend GSDF analysis to broad-band waveforms by removing constraints on two control parameters defined in Gee & Jordan and derive the seismogram perturbation kernels for the modified GSDF analysis. The modifications given in this paper are consistent with the original GSDF theory in Gee & Jordan around the centre frequency and improve the stability of GSDF analysis towards the edges of the passband. We also present numerical examples of perturbation kernels for the modified GSDF analysis and their data sensitivity kernels using a homogenous half-space structure model and a complex 3-D structure model.

description: Ricci scalar being zero is equivalent to the vacuum field equation in Finsler space-time. The Schwarzschild metric can be concluded from the field equation's solution if the space-time conserves spherical symmetry. This research aims to investigate Finslerian Schwarzschild-de Sitter space-time. Recent studies based on Finslerian space-time geometric models are becoming more prevalent because the local anisotropic structure of space-time influences the gravitational field and gives rise to modified cosmological relations. We suggest a gravitational field equation with a non-zero cosmological constant in Finslerian geometry and apprehend that the presented Finslerian gravitational field equation corresponds to the non-zero Ricci scalar. In Finsler geometry, the peer of spherical symmetry is the Finslerian sphere. Assuming space-time to conserve the "Finslerian sphere" symmetry, the counterpart of the Riemannian sphere (Finslerian sphere) must have a constant flag curvature ($λ$). It is demonstrated that the Finslerian covariant derivative of the geometric part of the gravitational field equation is preserved under a condition using the Chern connection. According to the string theory, string clouds can be defined as a pool of strings made due to symmetry breaking in the universe's early stages. We find that for $λ\neq1$, this solution resembles a black hole surrounded by a cloud of strings. Furthermore, we investigate null and time-like geodesics for $λ=1$. In this regard, the photon geodesics are obtained that are the closest paths to the photon sphere of the first photons visible at the black hole shadow limit. Also, circular orbit conditions are obtained for the effective potential.

description: Abstract

This study delves into one proposed tool to be used by digital government systems during transformation from conventional to digital paradigms. Focusing particularly on the partnership architecture managing the collaborative efforts among key players, namely; government, industry, and academia, contribute to the transition towards digital government. The research aims to scrutinize the bidirectional collaboration between key players in the paradigms, achieving mutual exchange of support flow in an interactive process where each key player will not only receive support, but also provide it to the other side in a form of healthy long term strategic partnership, highlighting the role of entrepreneurship and academia through this evolution. The investigation encompasses a thorough exploration of the impacts associated with the digital government's management of partnership with key players. Special attention is given to the vital role of entrepreneurship in supporting the government, expanding the conventional one way government-entrepreneurs collaboration , supporting entrepreneurs by government, and pumping national resources in creating a friendly entrepreneurial ecosystem with operating incubators and accelerators, with now clear rewards to the government in return. Moving towards supporting government systems and decision making processes by entrepreneurs in the other direction. By examining these aspects, this study explores for providing insights into the challenges, opportunities, and strategic considerations involved in navigating the complex landscape of digital government partnerships. The research take on a multifaceted approach, by incorporating a blend of qualitative, quantitative methodologies. Among the literature review, theoretical frameworks, and empirical analyses, the study aims to contribute valuable knowledge for the academic and governmental spheres. The expecting outcomes of this study are to shed light on the effective collaborative partnership model as a tool employed during the government's digital transition, offering implications for policymakers, industry practitioners, startups, and academic researchers, with a healthy flow of communication and support in all direction in the paradigm. The comprehensive insights garnered from this research are poised to inform future endeavors in establishing sustainable, digitally and innovation driven governance models.

Baryonic Imprints on DM Halos: the concentration-mass relation and its dependence on halo and galaxy properties

description: The halo concentration-mass relation has ubiquitous use in modeling the matter field for cosmological and astrophysical analyses, and including the imprints from galaxy formation physics is tantamount to its robust usage. Many analyses, however, probe the matter around halos selected by a given halo/galaxy property -- rather than by halo mass -- and the imprints under each selection choice can be different. We employ the CAMELS simulation suite to quantify the astrophysics and cosmology dependence of the concentration-mass relation, $c_{\rm vir}-M_{\rm vir}$, when selected on five properties: (i) velocity dispersion, (ii) formation time, (iii) halo spin, (iv) stellar mass, and (v) gas mass. We construct simulation-informed nonlinear models for all properties as a function of halo mass, redshift, and six cosmological/astrophysical parameters, with a mass range $M_{\rm vir} \in [10^{11}, 10^{14.5}] M_\odot/h$. There are many mass-dependent imprints in all halo properties, with clear connections across different properties and non-linear couplings between the parameters. Finally, we extract the $c_{\rm vir}-M_{\rm vir}$ relation for subsamples of halos that have scattered above/below the mean property-$M_{\rm vir}$ relation for a chosen property. Selections on gas mass or stellar mass have a significant impact on the astrophysics/cosmology dependence of $c_{\rm vir}$, while those on any of the other three properties have a significant (mild) impact on the cosmology (astrophysics) dependence. We show that ignoring such selection effects can lead to errors of $\approx 25\%$ in baryon imprint modelling of $c_{\rm vir}$. Our nonlinear model for all properties is made publicly available.

description: The skin is a complex organ composed of multiple cell types, and its ability to regenerate and maintain physiological functions depends on the intricate interplay among these cells. The dermal fibroblast is the main cell type within the dermis layer and plays a critical role in skin development and regeneration. There is significant heterogeneity within the fibroblast populations, as there are multiple fibroblast lineages with distinct functions. Understanding the mechanisms regulating fibroblast heterogeneity and how different fibroblast lineages arise could have significant implications for maintaining and regenerating skin tissue. Chapter two of this dissertation investigates the establishment of distinct fibroblast lineages during embryonic development using a combination of single-cell multiomics, in vivo transgenic mouse models, and ex vivo allografting assays. The study found that dermal fibroblast progenitors (DFP) possess a repressed chromatin profile marked by the histone modification H3K27me3. As DFPs differentiate into distinct lineages, specific chromatinregions become accessible by the demethylase activity of Jmjd3. Tissue-specific deletion of Jmjd3 leads to the inhibition of two major skin structures: the dermal white adipocytes and the hair follicle-associated fibroblasts – the dermal papilla. Altogether, this study reveals the epigenetic mechanism regulating the differentiation process of DFPs and defines the distinct transcriptomic and chromatin states of different fibroblast lineages at different stages of development.
description: In the next chapter, I investigate the differences between neonatal and adult skin that are responsible for the regenerative capacity of neonatal skin. This study identified a transient cell type called neonatal papillary fibroblast, which is defined by the expression of the canonical Wnt transcription factor Lef1. Tissue-specific knock-out of Lef1 revealed that Lef1 expression in neonatal fibroblasts is essential to hair follicle regeneration post-wounding. Overexpression of Lef1 in adult fibroblasts also reinstates neonatal regenerative ability. Additionally, in chapter three, I compared single-cell transcriptomics data from different skin regeneration models to identify a distinct upper wound fibroblast population, which shares a similar gene signature to the neonatal papillary fibroblast, is required for hair follicle regeneration. In conclusion, I have demonstrated that skin regeneration could be achieved by harnessing the regenerative capacity of distinct fibroblast populations.
description: Overall, the works in this dissertation shed light on the mechanisms regulating fibroblast heterogeneity and how controlling the regenerative fibroblast population could improve skin wound healing. Our findings also highlight the therapeutic potential of fibroblast heterogeneity in regenerative medicine to restore and maintain tissue integrity.
