Petromyscus shortridgei

description: Petromyscus shortridgei Thomas 1926
Petromyscus shortridgei Thomas 1926, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1926: 302.
Type Locality: Extreme S Angola, Ruacana Falls, 3350 ft (1021 m).
Vernacular Names: Shortridge's Pygmy Rock Mouse.
Distribution: W and S Angola and N Namibia (S to Erongo Mtns and Okahandja region); limits unknown.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Reviewed by Skinner and Smithers (1990) and de Graaff (1997 ll). Roberts (1951) treated shortridgei as a subspecies of P. bruchus, and Meester et al. (1986) listed it as a subspecies of P. collinus. However, Thomas’ species description correctly expressed the distinctness of the animal; also see Schlitter (in Meester et al., 1986) and Skinner and Smithers (1990). The larger size of P. shortridgei, darker fur with a less silky texture, and lack of postaxillary teats clearly separate it from P. collinus, a judgement based upon AMNH and FMNH specimens, which also inform our estimate of its geographic range. Crawford-Cabral (1998) recorded P. shortridgei only from the vicinity of Ruacana Falls, S Angola near the Namibia border, and speculated that the specimen (AMNH 81915) from farther north at Coporolo represented P. collinus. External and cranial morphology of the Coporolo specimen falls within the range of variation in P. shortridgei (as identified by Hill and Carter, 1941:104), not P. collinus. The two species overlap in distribution in SW Angola and N Namibia but have not been collected at the same place.

description: Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is an important oilseed crop widely cultivated worldwide, and drought is the main environmental factor limiting its yield enhancement and the expansion of planted areas. SIMILAR TO RCD ONE (SRO) is a plant-specific small gene family that plays a crucial role in plant growth, development, and responses to abiotic stresses such as drought. However, the functional role of SROs in rapeseed remains poorly understood. In this study, 19 BnaSROs were identified from the rapeseed genome, with 9, 10, 10, 18, and 20 members identified from the genomes of Brassica rapa, Brassica nigra, Brassica oleracea, Brassica juncea, and Brassica carinata, respectively. We then analyzed their sequence characteristics, phylogenetic relationships, gene structures, and conserved domains, and explored the collinearity relationships of the SRO members in Brassica napus and Brassica juncea. Next, we focused on the analysis of tissue expression and stress-responsive expression patterns of rapeseed SRO members and examined their expression profiles under ABA, MeJA and water-deficit drought treatments using qPCR. Transcriptome data analysis and qPCR detection indicated that BnaSROs exhibit multiple stress-responsive expression patterns. BnaSRO1 and BnaSRO11, which are likely to function through interactions with NAC transcription factors, were screened as major drought-regulated members. Our results provide a solid foundation for functional analysis of the role of the SRO gene family in abiotic stress responses, especially drought stress responses, in rapeseed.

description: Chilling stress is an important environmental factor that affects rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth and yield, and the booting stage is the most sensitive stage of rice to chilling stress. In this study, we focused on OsRBCS3, a rice gene related to chilling tolerance at the booting stage, which encodes the key enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) small subunit in photosynthesis. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role and mechanism of OsRBCS3 in rice chilling tolerance at the booting stage. The expression levels of OsRBCS3 under chilling stress were compared in two japonica rice cultivars with different chilling tolerances: Kongyu131 (KY131) and Longjing11 (LJ11). A positive correlation was found between OsRBCS3 expression and chilling tolerance. Over-expression (OE) and knock-out (KO) lines of OsRBCS3 were constructed using over-expression and CRISPR/Cas9 technology, respectively, and their chilling tolerance was evaluated at the seedling and booting stages. The results showed that OE lines exhibited higher chilling tolerance than wild-type (WT) lines at both seedling and booting stages, while KO lines showed lower chilling tolerance than WT lines. Furthermore, the antioxidant enzyme activities, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and Rubisco activity of four rice lines under chilling stress were measured, and it was found that OE lines had stronger antioxidant and photosynthetic capacities, while KO lines had the opposite effects. This study validated that OsRBCS3 plays an important role in rice chilling tolerance at the booting stage, providing new molecular tools and a theoretical basis for rice chilling tolerance breeding.

description: Allelopathy is the main chemical means in the invasion process of exotic plants and one of the key factors in grassland degradation. In this experiment, we investigated the effects of ethyl acetate phase extract (EAE), n-butanol phase extract (BE) and aqueous phase extract (AE) from the aboveground (stems and leaves) and roots of Ligularia sagitta on seed germination and seedling growth of four Gramineae forages (Poa pratensis L. Festuca ovina L. Elymus nutans Griseb. Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn.) in their sympatric domains and one Legosuminae forage (Medicago sativa L.). The chemical components in each phase extract of L. sagitta were determined with UHPLC-MS/MS non-targeted metabolomics, and the differential compounds were screened using Orthogonal Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA). Within a set concentration range, EAE significantly inhibited seed germination and seedling growth of four Gramineae forages. BE and AE acted mainly in the seedling growth stage and did not significantly inhibit forage seed germination. P. pratensis was most sensitive to L. sagitta extracts; at 2.0 mg/mL of EAE from roots, germination energy and germination rate of P. pratensis seeds were 0. L. sagitta extracts inhibited the growth of M. sativa seedlings and did not inhibit its seed germination. A total of 904 compounds were identified with UHPLC-MS/MS, among which 31, 64, 81 and 66 metabolites displayed different accumulation patterns in the four comparison groups (R.EAE vs. R.BE, R.EAE vs. R.AE, SL.EAE vs. SL.BE, SL.EAE vs. SL.AE), respectively. In particular, 9 compounds were found to be common up-regulated differential metabolites in the four comparison groups and were enriched in EAE. Additionally, N,N-dimethylaniline, Caffeic acid, 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde and cis-9-Octadecenoic acid as potential allelochemicals in L. sagitta. The results of this study support efforts at finding alternative control plants for the restoration of poisonous grass-type degraded grasslands.

Material segmentation of remote sensing imagery
Creators: name: Waynor, Zachary
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Low-resolution remote sensing data makes it difficult to discern the composition of individual pixels, especially when isolated from their surroundings. This issue is accentuated by the limited and costly process of annotating this data, and high-resolution data is either publicly restricted, requires a significant time investment to provide meaning to our low-resolution data accurately, or is associated with considerable expense. In this thesis, we address these challenges by developing and improving methodologies for resolution material segmentation, which generates intuitive insights into the composition of remote-sensing images. Our major contribution is the creation of precise and accurate resolution consistent material maps trained on sparse datasets. Remarkably, our models achieve classification rates ranging from 82\% to 98\% with minimal training time, significantly reducing the computational resources required compared to modern deep learning methods, which typically necessitate hours to days of training. We explore various approaches to constructing and extending sparse datasets, employing pixel-wise segmentation methods that treat each pixel as a classification problem. The shift to pixel-wise framing allows us to leverage multiclass classification techniques and frame each pixel as a 14x1 feature vector, utilizing the rich multispectral information captured in our datasets. Additionally, we demonstrate that framing the problem as multiple binary classifications in a one-vs-rest framework results in a lower overall classification rate due to the inclusion of an uncertainty class. However, this approach enables us to generate high-quality material maps with classification rates exceeding 90\% in regions where expert models agree, while also identifying areas requiring further training or improved labeling. In parallel, we also employ our long training material segmentation pipeline, which uses modern encoder-decoder networks to produce over 99\% accuracy on our test set at the cost of many of the strengths afforded by our other models. From a research perspective, this thesis underscores the feasibility of research parallelism, illustrating how less hardware-intensive methods can be employed to gain valuable insights into model performance. Our findings not only advance the remote sensing material segmentation field but also provide a pathway for more accessible and efficient research in this domain.

Study of lepton flavor universality using top quark decay
Creators: name: Alsolami, Zainab
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: Lepton flavor universality is one of the most important assumptions in the
 Standard Model, which states that all leptons (electrons, muons, taus)
 interact with the W boson with the same strength. This assumption can be
 tested by measuring the ratio of branching fractions of the decays (W →
 µν) and (W → eν), denoted by R(µ/e). To measure this ratio, the efficiency
 of the muon and electron is determined by using the decay of Z0 boson to
 muon and electron. Comparing the number of detected electrons and muons
 from Z boson decays reveals any efficiency differences between the
 detector’s response to these particles.

 The analysis is based on data collected by the ATLAS experiment during Run
 2

 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), from 2015 to 2018. This data
 corresponds to

 an integrated luminosity of 140 f b−1. The obtained uncertainty of R(µ/e)
 is 0.0064.

 In addition to the lepton flavor universality test, our study also
 investigates the

 beam position and luminosity measurement for the ATLAS detector during Run
 3

 of the LHC. This investigation focuses on changes in the beam spot
 position and

 partial widths across four runs taken in 2022: the van der Meer (vdM) run,
 two

 LHCf runs, and a physics run. A comparison of X, Y, and Z beam spot
 positions

 for the investigated runs reveals a consistent shape and direction for the
 scans in the vdM run and the other runs, with differences due to a
 crossing angle present in LHCf and physics runs. The symmetry of the scans
 in terms of the beam spot width was investigated by studying the
 dependence of the absolute value of the nominal separation. This revealed
 no asymmetry between the ascending and descending parts of the beam scans.

description: Background Managed grasslands are global sources of atmospheric methanol, which is one of the most abundant volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere and promotes oxidative capacity for tropospheric and stratospheric ozone depletion. The phyllosphere is a favoured habitat of plant-colonizing methanol-utilizing bacteria. These bacteria also occur in the rhizosphere, but their relevance for methanol consumption and ecosystem fluxes is unclear. Methanol utilizers of the plant-associated microbiota are key for the mitigation of methanol emission through consumption. However, information about grassland plant microbiota members, their biodiversity and metabolic traits, and thus key actors in the global methanol budget is largely lacking. Results We investigated the methanol utilization and consumption potentials of two common plant species (Festuca arundinacea and Taraxacum officinale) in a temperate grassland. The selected grassland exhibited methanol formation. The detection of 13C derived from 13C-methanol in 16S rRNA of the plant microbiota by stable isotope probing (SIP) revealed distinct methanol utilizer communities in the phyllosphere, roots and rhizosphere but not between plant host species. The phyllosphere was colonized by members of Gamma- and Betaproteobacteria. In the rhizosphere, 13C-labelled Bacteria were affiliated with Deltaproteobacteria, Gemmatimonadates, and Verrucomicrobiae. Less-abundant 13C-labelled Bacteria were affiliated with well-known methylotrophs of Alpha-, Gamma-, and Betaproteobacteria. Additional metagenome analyses of both plants were consistent with the SIP results and revealed Bacteria with methanol dehydrogenases (e.g., MxaF1 and XoxF1-5) of known but also unusual genera (i.e., Methylomirabilis, Methylooceanibacter, Gemmatimonas, Verminephrobacter). 14C-methanol tracing of alive plant material revealed divergent potential methanol consumption rates in both plant species but similarly high rates in the rhizosphere and phyllosphere. Conclusions Our study revealed the rhizosphere as an overlooked hotspot for methanol consumption in temperate grasslands. We further identified unusual new but potentially relevant methanol utilizers besides well-known methylotrophs in the phyllosphere and rhizosphere. We did not observe a plant host-specific methanol utilizer community. Our results suggest that our approach using quantitative SIP and metagenomics may be useful in future field studies to link gross methanol consumption rates with the rhizosphere and phyllosphere microbiome.

description: Leaf microbiota mediates foliar functional traits, influences plant fitness, and contributes to various ecosystem functions, including nutrient and water cycling. Plant phenology and harsh environmental conditions have been described as the main determinants of leaf microbiota assembly. How climate change may modulate the leaf microbiota is unresolved and thus, we have a limited understanding on how environmental stresses associated with climate change driven weather events affect composition and functions of the microbes inhabiting the phyllosphere. Thus, we conducted a pot experiment to determine the effects of flooding stress on the wheat leaf microbiota. Since plant phenology might be an important factor in the response to hydrological stress, flooding was induced at different plant growth stages (tillering, booting and flowering). Using a metabarcoding approach, we monitored the response of leaf bacteria to flooding, while key soil and plant traits were measured to correlate physiological plant and edaphic factor changes with shifts in the bacterial leaf microbiota assembly. In our study, plant growth stage represented the main driver in leaf microbiota composition, as early and late plants showed distinct bacterial communities. Overall, flooding had a differential effect on leaf microbiota dynamics depending at which developmental stage it was induced, as a more pronounced disruption in community assembly was observed in younger plants.

description: Virtual reality experiences can be made more immersive with the use of haptic technologies. However, the current methods rely on bulky controllers and gloves that only offer basic vibrations to differentiate textures. This thesis proposes a new approach that utilizes ultrasound haptics and various techniques to create a sense of roughness. The research conducted explores different parameters for inducing roughness and their compatibility with ultrasound haptics. A new technique for eliciting varying levels of roughness using basic patterns is also introduced. To compensate for the lack of physical object and textural information, two studies were conducted using audio and visual modalities. The findings reveal that basic patterns can successfully simulate roughness through ultrasound haptics, but some traditional roughness-inducing parameters do not work. Additionally, visuals have a minimal impact on roughness perception, and audio does not positively affect it.
