description: We experimentally study a periodically driven many-body localized system realized by interacting fermions in a one-dimensional quasi-disordered optical lattice. By preparing the system in a far-from-equilibrium state and monitoring the remains of an imprinted density pattern, we identify a localized phase at high drive frequencies and an ergodic phase at low ones. These two distinct phases are separated by a dynamical phase transition which depends on both the drive frequency and the drive strength. Our observations are quantitatively supported by numerical simulations and are directly connected to the change in the statistical properties of the effective Floquet Hamiltonian.

description: In our previous research, it has been demonstrated that such inelastic processes in atom Rydberg-atom collisions, as chemi-ionization and (n-n') mixing, should be considered together. Here we will review the present state of the art and the actual problems will be discussed. In this context, we will consider the influence of the (n-n')-mixing during a symmetric atom Rydberg-atom collision processes on the intensity of chemi-ionization process. It will be taken into account H(1s) + H*(n) collisional systems, where the principal quantum number n $>>$ 1. It will be demonstrated that the inclusion of (n-n') mixing in the calculation, influences significantly on the values of chemi-ionization rate coefficients, particularly in the lower part of the block of the Rydberg states. Different possible channels of the (n-n')-mixing influence on chemi-ionization rate coefficients will be demonstrated. The possibility of interpretation of the (n-n')-mixing influence will be considered on the basis of two existing methods for describing of the inelastic processes in symmetrical atom Rydberg-atom collisions.

description: It has been recently proposed that the reduced density matrix may be used to derive the order parameter of a condensed matter system. Here we propose order parameters for the phases of a topological insulator, specifically a spinless Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model, and consider the effect of short-range interactions. All the derived order parameters and their possible corresponding quantum phases are verified by the entanglement entropy and electronic configuration analysis results. The order parameter appropriate to the topological regions is further proved by calculating the Berry phase under twisted boundary conditions. It is found that the topological non-trivial phase is robust to the introduction of repulsive inter-site interactions, and can appear in the topological trivial parameter region when appropriate interactions are added.

On the Proper Use of the Reduced Speed of Light Approximation

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I show that the Reduced Speed of Light (RSL) approximation, when used properly (i.e. as originally designed - only for the local sources but not for the cosmic background), remains a highly accurate numerical method for modeling cosmic reionization. Simulated ionization and star formation histories from the "Cosmic Reionization On Computers" (CROC) project are insensitive to the adopted value of the reduced speed of light for as long as that value does not fall below about 10% of the true speed of light. A recent claim of the failure of the RSL approximation in the Illustris reionization model appears to be due to the effective speed of light being reduced in the equation for the cosmic background too, and, hence, illustrates the importance of maintaining the correct speed of light in modeling the cosmic background.

A secondary objective was to compare this POC meter against a standard chemistry analyzer to triage goats into 3 clinically applicable categories: healthy, pre-renal azotemia, and postrenal azotemia. We hypothesize that the Nova StatSensor POC meter will generate blood creatinine values comparable to those obtained via the chemistry analyzer.

description: Mud motor failure should be avoided where possible and a lot of research has gone into understanding potential mitigation strategies. Previous research performed for the RAPID group at the University of Texas at Austin identified stalls as a leading cause for mud motor damage and failure, yet very little research has been done to investigate them. Temperature is known to be leading factor in reducing mud motor life and will likely be more important now than it was in the past as drilling operations increase in complexity. In this work, we present two different algorithms designed to run while drilling. The first is a statistics-based stall detection algorithm designed to run on surface data. Where stall detection has previously based itself only on the Differential Pressure, our approach requires three simultaneous peaks in MSE, WOB and Differential Pressure. The second is a temperature model for the estimation of bottomhole temperature which can serve as a real-time advisory alerting if the temperature exceeds the motor rating. Both could be implemented in a damage index for the estimation of mud motor degradation at any time

description: High temperature superconducting (HTS) bulks or stacks of coated conductors (CCs) can be magnetized to become trapped field magnets (TFMs). The magnetic fields of such TFMs can break the limitation of conventional magnets (<2 T), so they show potential for improving the performance of many electrical applications that use permanent magnets like rotating machines. Towards practical or commercial use of TFMs, effective in situ magnetization is one of the key issues. The pulsed field magnetization (PFM) is among the most promising magnetization methods in virtue of its compactness, mobility and low cost. However, due to the heat generation during the magnetization, the trapped field and flux acquired by PFM usually cannot achieve the full potential of a sample (acquired by the field cooling or zero field cooling method). The multi-pulse technique was found to effectively improve the trapped field by PFM in practice. In this work, a systematic study on the PFM with successive pulses is presented. A 2D electromagnetic-thermal coupled model with comprehensive temperature dependent parameters is used to simulate a stack of CCs magnetized by successive magnetic pulses. An overall picture is built to show how the trapped field and flux evolve with different pulse sequences and the evolution patterns are analyzed. Based on the discussion, an operable magnetization strategy of PFM with successive pulses is suggested to provide more trapped field and flux. Finally, experimental results of a stack of CCs magnetized by typical pulse sequences are presented for demonstration.
Solar-type dynamo behaviour in fully convective stars without a tachocline

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In solar-type stars (with radiative cores and convective envelopes), the magnetic field powers star spots, flares and other solar phenomena, as well as chromospheric and coronal emission at ultraviolet to X-ray wavelengths. The dynamo responsible for generating the field depends on the shearing of internal magnetic fields by differential rotation. The shearing has long been thought to take place in a boundary layer known as the tachocline between the radiative core and the convective envelope. Fully convective stars do not have a tachocline and their dynamo mechanism is expected to be very different, although its exact form and physical dependencies are not known. Here we report observations of four fully convective stars whose X-ray emission correlates with their rotation periods in the same way as in Sun-like stars. As the X-ray activity - rotation relationship is a well-established proxy for the behaviour of the magnetic dynamo, these results imply that fully convective stars also operate a solar-type dynamo. The lack of a tachocline in fully convective stars therefore suggests that this is not a critical ingredient in the solar dynamo and supports models in which the dynamo originates throughout the convection zone.

Event reweighting is a key analysis technique, used to efficiently study the effect of neutrino interaction model uncertainties. This opens up the possibility for NuWro to be used as a primary event generator by experimental analysis groups. A preliminary model tuning to ANL and BNL data of quasi-elastic and single pion production events was performed to validate the reweighting engine.

description: Selection of drugs for use in South American Camelids (SAC) is difficult due to lack of approved products for use in these species. Drugs and drug dosages are selected from limited published data or extrapolated from other species. Administration of intravenous (IV) medications to SAC can be difficult due to challenges in restraint, limited venous access, and unique cervical anatomy. Pharmaceuticals administered routes other than IV are attractive for use in SAC. Flunixin meglumine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used in many species for its antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties. In cattle, flunixin meglumine is specifically labeled for IV administration. A new transdermal (TD) formulation of flunixin has been developed and approved for use in cattle. The topical nature and longer duration of action compared to IV flunixin make this product ideal for use in SAC. The purpose of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of IV and TD flunixin meglumine in alpacas.

Automatic metadata driven reanalysis in cloud infrastructures

description: Previous ELIXIR implementation studies have shown that using the Sample Data Reference Format (SDRF) [Y. Perez-Riverol et al. 2020] for input in reusable workflows is effective in creating reproducible results. This implementation study builds on that work, with the proteomic community adapting the SDRF format for additional workflows that automate the reanalysis of public proteomic datasets at the identification, quantification, and statistical levels.
 To achieve this, the study is implementing new workflows based on Nextflow [Di Tommaso et al. 2017], a versatile workflow engine that uses text-based script files to allow for the usage of different command-line-based tools. While Nextflow workflows are easy to develop and scale in multiple cloud environments, they can be challenging for non-technical users to use as they require a command-line interface on POSIX-based systems like Linux, BSD or MacOS. To overcome this, the study is building a web interface that will allow researchers to access and use the workflows through a web browser or web API, and display results like plots, tables, and documents online.
 The study is also collecting feedback on problems and improvements for the SDRF format, which is still relatively new. This feedback is being sent to the developers to improve the format. Finally, to help researchers create SDRFs for their datasets, a new tutorial is being developed to ensure that everyone is ready to use the newly created resources.

description: Flunixin meglumine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for its antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties in multiple mammalian species. In the United States (US), cattle are the only food-producing ruminant species that have an approved flunixin meglumine label. A new transdermal (TD) formulation of flunixin meglumine has been developed for use in cattle and has recently been released for use in cattle in the US. Selection of drugs for use in goats, in the US, is problematic due to the paucity of labeled products. More specifically, there are no NSAIDs labeled for use in goats in the US. Dosing, routes of administration, and indications for use of NSAIDs are extrapolated from cattle. Understanding the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of NSAIDs in goats is critical to minimizing negative side effects of the drugs and mitigating tissue residues to ensure a safe food supply. The objective of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetic properties and anti-inflammatory effects of intravenous and transdermal flunixin meglumine in healthy goats.

description: The impact of antibiotic therapy on antimicrobial drug-resistance is well known in the cattle industry yet the potential effects of antibiotic administration on immune modulation is unknown. Data from various animal models indicate that some antibiotics can suppress adaptive immune responses. Azithromycin for example, can suppress inflammation and innate immune defenses inferring that indiscriminate use of antibiotics may paradoxically increase susceptibility to infection and interfere with vaccine immunity. For cattle, we aim to identify classes of immune modulatory antibiotics to determine whether treatment interferes with vaccine responses. We hypothesize that macrolide and tetracycline antibiotics will significantly suppress immune responses in cattle which will be tested using assays that evaluate immunity in vitro.

description: Salmonella enterica is an important cause of illness and death in humans. There has been a great deal of efforts to reduce its impact; yet Salmonella infections continue to burden the health of U.S. consumers more than any other foodborne pathogen. Salmonellosis is also an important cause of disease in cattle, causing diarrhea, dehydration, depression, fever, decreased milk production, and anorexia. Surveillance for antimicrobial resistance within healthy food animal populations captures predominantly susceptible Salmonella serovars that are infrequent causes of human illness; however, data from cattle diagnostic submissions can be used to capture trends in antimicrobial susceptibility of strains with a higher public health relevance. Our objective was to evaluate trends in antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella recovered from diagnostic samples from clinically ill cattle submitted to the Ohio Department of Agriculture between 2006 and 2017.

description: Johne’s disease (JD) is an untreatable disease of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis. The long latent period and variable manifestation in clinical presentation poses some significant challenges in its detection and control on farms. JD results in economic losses from early culling and production loss due to chronic enteric disease. In January 2010, Ontario began a voluntary control program called the Johne’s Education and Management Assistance program. The program consisted of an on-farm risk assessment survey and whole herd testing by either milk or serum ELISA with subsequent permanent removal of any high titre cow. The purpose of the risk assessment surveys or RAMPs (Risk assessment and management plans) were to identify areas on farm that would result in increased risk of acquiring or transmitting JD. After completing the RAMP, the farm would be given a score out of 300; a higher score correlating with a higher risk of JD. The veterinarian would then make a maximum of three recommendations for improvement of facilities or management for JD control. Based on data collected from over 2,000 dairy farms in Ontario from 2010 to 2013, using individual animal ELISA testing of milk or serum, approximately 26% of farms had at least one test positive animal. Through testing of bulk tank (BT) milk from all Ontario farms in 2013, roughly 50% of farms had a positive bulk tank test for Johne’s. There are numerous barriers to the efficacy of extension programs targeting JD control, and the benefit of risk assessment-based programs for a disease such as Johne’s remains unclear. The objectives of the study are to 1) assess changes in herd-level prevalence of JD 2) to describe associations between RAMP score and herd bulk tank test changes.

description: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella enterica is a threat to animal and human health. Salmonella Dublin, a bovine-adapted S. enterica serotype, causes severe outbreaks among calves that frequently result in high mortality. Additionally, S. Dublin causes invasive infections in people, and the incidence of S. Dublin infections in people has been increasing over the past decade. Recovered isolates are frequently resistant to antimicrobials necessary for the treatment of invasive infections in calves and people. The transmission pathways of virulent Salmonella serotypes are not well characterized. Genomic characterization of recovered strains can be used to elucidate the genetic relatedness and identify potential routes of transmission. Therefore, the objective of this study as to characterize the genetic relatedness and genomic antimicrobial resistance determinants of S. Dublin recovered from cattle in Ohio.

description: Neonatal calf diarrhea is the leading cause of calf mortality in the United States and can be associated with more severe sequela including septicemia. The current preferred method for diagnosing septicemia in these patients is culture-based and can take a week or more to provide bacterial identification. Therefore, this method is impractical to use when rapid treatment is necessary. In most instances, farm personnel give antibiotics empirically without confirmation of sepsis or identification of the causative agent, raising concerns over unnecessary or suboptimal antibiotic administration. A more recent alternative method for diagnosing bacteremia involves utilization of a Sepsityper™ kit in conjunction with matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), though this has not been employed extensively in veterinary medicine. This kit provides the ability to prepare a small sample of positive blood culture fluid for rapid bacterial identification, ultimately detecting bacteria causing sepsis 1 to 3 days sooner than traditional diagnostic measures. The sensitivity and specificity of this method for diagnosing septicemia has not been established in veterinary medicine. Therefore, the objective of this study was to ascertain these values and compare the use of Sepsityper with MALDI to current culture-based methods of detecting sepsis in diarrheic dairy calves. We hypothesized that the Sepsityper method would demonstrate more rapid and sensitive results for detecting bacteremia than traditional culture-based methods.

description: In this work we analyze an optimized artificial fixed-stress iteration scheme for the numerical approximation of the Biot system modelling fluid flow in deformable porous media. The iteration is based on a prescribed constant artificial volumetric mean total stress in the first half step. The optimization comes through the adaptation of a numerical stabilization or tuning parameter and aims at an acceleration of the iterations. The separated subproblems of fluid flow, written as a mixed first order in space system, and mechanical deformation are discretized by space-time finite element methods of arbitrary order. Continuous and discontinuous discretizations of the time variable are encountered. The convergence of the iteration schemes is proved for the continuous and fully discrete case. The choice of the optimization parameter is identified in the proofs of convergence of the iterations. The analyses are illustrated and confirmed by numerical experiments.

description: Injectable alternatives to pentobarbital overdose euthanasia of cattle are needed to improve the safety of carcass disposal. Intrathecal injection of lidocaine has been investigated as a method of euthanasia in anesthetized horses and results in low residues in the carcasses. Its efficacy has not been evaluated in cattle. The objectives were to describe the intrathecal distribution of a dye in cadavers and to investigate its efficacy as a method of euthanasia in calves.

description: The rare decay $h \rightarrow Υγ$ has a very small rate in the Standard Model, due to a strong cancellation between the direct and indirect diagrams. Models with a changed $hbb$ coupling can thus lead to a great increase in this decay. Current limits on two Higgs doublet models still allow for the possibility that the $hbb$ coupling might have a sign opposite to the Standard Model; the so-called "wrong-sign". We show how $h \rightarrow Υγ$ can be used to put limits on the wrong-sign solutions.

description: Current industry standards of pregnancy diagnostics include transrectal palpation, ultrasound and measurement of pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAG) levels via ELISA; however, there is no available diagnostic that can predict embryonic mortality, which is a major contributor to reproductive failure (Inskeep and Dailey, 2005). Early embryonic mortality (EEM) occurs before day 30 of gestation and is generally associated with failures of implantation and maternal recognition of pregnancy (Pohler et al., 2016a; Pohler et al., 2016b; Thatcher et al., 2001). Late embryonic mortality (LEM) occurs between days 30 and 60 of pregnancy is generally attributed to placental insufficiency (Pohler et al., 2016b). LEM has an inordinate economic impact for the producer due to calving interval extension (Pohler et al., 2016; Silke et al., 2002). Developmental processes enlist epigenetic factors that tightly control the timing and magnitude of gene expression within and between mother and fetus. Detection and quantification of soluble and circulating epigenetic factors such as microRNAs to determine embryogenic fidelity is at the forefront of modern molecular diagnostics as demonstrated in non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) within humans (Biró et al., 2018; Liu et al., 2017; Zhu et al., 2013). Circulating miRNAs in serum and milk have been shown to be reliable non-invasive biomarkers of acute animal physiology due to their stable, sensitive, and specific nature (Pohler et al, 2017; Etheridge et al., 2011; Gilad et al.,2008; Izumi et al., 2012). We hypothesized that LEM-specific microRNAs in milk are present, predictive and robust biomarkers.

description: It is generally accepted that the nasopharynx is the primary source of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) pathogens for the lower respiratory tract (LRT) of cattle. Indeed, it has long been held that the nasopharynx plays a causative role in the development of BRD. However, it has been shown that there is poor agreement between the microbiota of the nasopharynx and the LRT in cattle. Conflicting results from recent studies suggest that BRD pathogens in the nasopharynx may not always significantly differ between healthy cattle and those diagnosed with BRD. These observations make sense in light of recent research in human medicine, which suggests that bacterial pathogens that cause lung infections don’t originate from the nasopharynx and that the nasopharyngeal microbiota contribute very little to composition of lung microbiota. There was surprisingly more similarity between the mouth/oropharyngeal microbiotas and the lung microbiota. In the pursuit of finding alternative strategies for controlling BRD at the feedlot such as probiotics or local antimicrobials, it is crucial to understand which upper respiratory tract (URT) microbiotas contribute the most to the LRT microbiotas so that we can modulate the correct bacterial communities. Therefore, the objective of this study is to map the bacterial microbiotas present along the entire beef cattle respiratory tract and determine the relative contributions of these communities to the microbiota of the lung.

description: Liver abscesses (LA) in feedlot cattle continue to be an issue compromising beef productivity, health and food safety. Ruminal acidosis resulting from the feeding of highgrain finishing diets may compromise ruminal epithelial integrity and predispose cattle to liver abscesses. Dietary zinc (Zn) is known to promote epithelial integrity and may provide an alternative method for reducing LA. Two research projects were conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary Zn supplementation on biomarkers of inflammation and metabolism and LA prevalence and formation in response to a mild acidosis challenge (Study 1). In a second study (Study 2), effects of dietary Zn source and concentration on LA prevalence were evaluated in a longitudinal, retrospective pooled study analysis.

description: We study the dependence of the chiral condensate on external magnetic field in the context of holographic QCD at large number of flavors. We consider a holographic QCD model where the flavor degrees of freedom fully backreact on the color dynamics. Perturbative QCD calculations have shown that $B$ acts constructively on the chiral condensate, a phenomenon called "magnetic catalysis". In contrast, recent lattice calculations show that, depending on the number of flavors and temperature, the magnetic field may also act destructively, which is called "inverse magnetic catalysis". Here we show that the holographic theory is capable of both behaviors depending on the choice of parameters. For reasonable choice of the potentials entering the model we find qualitative agreement with the lattice expectations. Our results provide insight for the physical reasons behind the inverse magnetic catalysis. In particular, we argue that the backreaction of the flavors to the background geometry decatalyzes the condensate.
