Heavy flavor electron $R_{dA}$ 60-88% $d$+Au collisions. The nuclear modification factor, $R_{dA}$, for electrons from open heavy flavor decays, for the (a) most central and (b) most peripheral centrality bins.

Heavy flavor electron RdA 0-20% $d$+Au collisions. The nuclear modification factor, $R_{dA}$, for electrons from open heavy flavor decays, for the (a) most central and (b) most peripheral centrality bins.

Heavy flavor electron $R_{dA}$ 20-40% $d$+Au collisions. The nuclear modification factor, $R_{dA}$, for electrons from open heavy flavor decays, for the (a) most central and (b) most peripheral centrality bins.

Heavy flavor electron $R_{dA}$ 0-100% d+Au collisions. The nuclear modification factors $R_{dA}$ and $R_{AA}$ for minimum bias $d$+Au and Au+Au collisions, for the $\pi^{0}$ and $e^{\pm}_{HF}$. The two boxes on the right side of the plot represent the global uncertainties in the $d$+Au (left) and Au+Au (right) values of $N_{coll}$ . An additional common global scaling uncertainty of 9.7% on $R_{dA}$ and $R_{AA}$ from the $p+p$ reference data is omitted for clarity.

Heavy flavor electron yield, $d$+Au $\implies$ CHARGED X. Electrons from heavy flavor decays, separated by centrality. The lines represent a fit to the previous $p+p$ result [23], scaled by $N_{coll}$. The inset shows the ratio of photonic background electrons determined by the converter and cocktail methods for Minimum Bias $d$+Au collisions, with error bars (boxes) that represent the statistical uncertainty on the converter data (systematic uncertainty on the photonic-electron cocktail).

Heavy flavor electron $R_{dA}$ 40-60% $d$+Au collisions. The nuclear modification factor, $R_{dA}$, for electrons from open heavy flavor decays, for the (a) most central and (b) most peripheral centrality bins.

Controlled feeding experiments with diets of different abrasiveness reveal slow development of mesowear signal in goats ( Capra aegagrus hircus )
2018
ABSTRACT Dental mesowear is applied as a proxy to determine the general diet of mammalian herbivores based on tooth-cusp shape and occlusal relief. Low, blunt cusps are considered typical of grazers and high, sharp cusps typical of browsers. However, how internal or external abrasives impact mesowear, and the time frame the wear signature takes to develop, still need to be explored. Four different pelleted diets of increasing abrasiveness (lucerne, grass, grass and rice husks, and grass, rice husks and sand) were fed to four groups of a total of 28 adult goats in a controlled feeding experiment over a 6-month period. Tooth morphology was captured by medical CT scans at the beginning and end…
Technology generation to dissemination: lessons learned from the tef improvement project
2018
Indigenous crops also known as orphan crops are key contributors to food security, which is becoming increasingly vulnerable with the current trend of population growth and climate change. They have the major advantage that they fit well into the general socio-economic and ecological context of developing world agriculture. However, most indigenous crops did not benefit from the Green Revolution, which dramatically increased the yield of major crops such as wheat and rice. Here, we describe the Tef Improvement Project, which employs both conventional- and molecular-breeding techniques to improve tef—an orphan crop important to the food security in the Horn of Africa, a region of the world w…
Evolution of the Globin Gene Family in Deuterostomes: Lineage-Specific Patterns of Diversification and Attrition
2012
In the Metazoa, globin proteins display an underlying unity in tertiary structure that belies an extraordinary diversity in primary structures, biochemical properties, and physiological functions. Phylogenetic reconstructions can reveal which of these functions represent novel, lineage-specific innovations, and which represent ancestral functions that are shared with homologous globin proteins in other eukaryotes and even prokaryotes. To date, our understanding of globin diversity in deuterostomes has been hindered by a dearth of genomic sequence data from the Ambulacraria (echinoderms + hemichordates), the sister group of chordates, and the phylum Xenacoelomorpha, which includes xenoturbel…
