DnaJ domain-containing protein | JDP40 | J40; Leishmania infantum (strain JPCM5)

Most human-carnivore conflicts arise from the impact of predation on livestock. In Australian rangelands, considerable resources are allocated to constructing exclusion fences and implementing control measures to manage dingo populations for sustainable livestock enterprise. Assessing the effectiveness of these measures is crucial for justifying the investment. We used a replicated experimental design to examine the effect of landscape-scale dingo-proof exclusion fences (‘cell-fencing’) on activity and population density of dingoes in the Southern Rangelands of Western Australia. We monitored dingo populations for 22-24 months across six study sites nested within a landscape of about 75,000 km2 and defined ‘fence level’ as the number of dingo-proof fences enclosing each study site. We used camera trap capture rate (number of independent capture events per 100 trap nights) as a metric for dingo activity (including the availability of resources as other potential covariates), estimated dingo density using spatially explicit mark-resight models, and tested the relationship between capture rate and estimated density of dingoes for each study site. Significant variation in both metrics was observed between sites and across time. Fence level and prey occurrence significantly influenced dingo activity. The annual mean dingo density estimate across study sites was below 2 dingoes per 100 km2 (i.e., 0.02 dingoes per km2; the maximum value believed to be compatible with small livestock) at only one study site in the first year, but it was higher across all sites during the second year of monitoring. Dingo activity correlated with estimated dingo density at only two sites, suggesting differences in dingo behaviour and detection across the six study sites. This study provides experimental evidence that camera trap capture rate is not a reliable method for assessing variations in the population size of dingoes. These results have implications for monitoring outcomes of dingo control programs across Australia.

We introduce a lattice dynamics package which calculates elastic, thermodynamic and thermal transport properties of crystalline materials from data on their force and potential energy as a function of atomic positions. The data can come from density functional theory (DFT) calculations or classical molecular dynamics runs performed in a supercell. First, the model potential parameters, which are anharmonic force constants are extracted from the latter runs. Then, once the anharmonic model is defined, thermal conductivity and equilibrium properties at finite temperatures can be computed using lattice dynamics, Boltzmann transport theories, and a variational principle respectively. In addition, the software calculates the mechanical properties such as elastic tensor, Gruneisen parameters and the thermal expansion coefficient within the quasi-harmonic approximation (QHA). Phonons, elastic constants and thermodynamic properties results applied to the germanium crystal will be illustrated. Using the force constants as a force field, one may also perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in order to investigate the combined effects of anharmonicity and defect scattering beyond perturbation theory.

The results of pre- and post- vestibular rehabilitation examinations of patients with persistent floating dizziness after BPPV are shown. We examined the differences between a rehabilitation group that received weekly vestibular rehabilitation and a control group that received only exercise instruction.

In this study, it is considered that the use of tungsten(W) foils to form laminated W structures instead of W bulk can enhance the deuterium(D) plasma irradiation resistance of W plasma facing materials(W-PFMs). The gap between the W foils in the laminated W structure acts as a gas release channel to reduce the D retention in the W-PFMs, so that the D concentration in the W cannot reach the threshold and the blistering is suppressed. Based on this viewpoint, this study first performed finite element simulations and then D plasma irradiation experiments. Fig. 1 shows the geometric schematic of the simulation part of this study with the different boundaries and domains labeled, and the geometric dimensional parameters in Fig. 1 are given in Table 1. Fig. 2(a) is a schematic of the sample in the plasma irradiation experiment. Fig. 2(b) is a schematic of the electrolytic polishing of the sample. Fig. 2(c) shows the microwave electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma irradiation device used in the irradiation experiment. Fig. 3 shows the temperature field results obtained from finite element simulation. Fig. 4 shows the results of the concentration distribution of mobile D atoms obtained by finite element simulation. The thermal parameters of the material, the diffusion coefficient of D atoms in the material and the solubility parameters of D atoms in the material are listed in Table 2. The parameters of the traps in the materials used in the finite element simulations are listed in Table 3. The parameters of the recombination coefficients for D for the materials used in the finite element simulations are listed in Table 4.Fig. 5 shows the D concentration distribution curves from the finite element simulation results. Fig. 5(a, b) show the D atom concentration versus depth curves along the W symmetry axis and at the interface between W and the gap, respectively. Fig. 5(c, d) show magnified plots of the concentration distributions in Fig. 5(a, b) in the near-surface region, respectively. Fig. 5(e) shows the variation with depth of the gas pressure of D gas in the gap along the symmetry axis boundary of the gap. Fig. 5(f) shows the variation of solubility of D atoms for different materials in the temperature range derived from Fig. 3. Fig. 6 shows the morphology of the sample surface before and after D plasma irradiation. Fig. 7 shows a cross-section of the bubbles in the W bulk and W foil using FIB. Fig. 8(a, b) show the statistical results for the blisters at different irradiation fluences. Fig. 8(c, d) shows the size and area fraction of surface blisters on W foils of different thicknesses after different fluences of irradiation. Both simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the thinner the W foil thickness, the more D retention and surface blistering are suppressed. This suggests that using W foils to form laminated structure instead of W bulk is effective in utilizing the gas release channel effect for suppressing surface blistering.
