Azimuthal anisotropy measurement of (multi-)strange hadrons in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 54.4 GeV
(2022)
Azimuthal anisotropy of produced particles is one of the most important observables used to access the collective properties of the expanding medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this paper, we present second (v2) and third (v3) order azimuthal anisotropies of K0S, ϕ, Λ, Ξ and Ω at mid-rapidity (|y|<1) in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 54.4 GeV measured by the STAR detector. The v2 and v3 are measured as a function of transverse momentum and centrality. Their energy dependence is also studied. v3 is found to be more sensitive to the change in the center-of-mass energy than v2. Scaling by constituent quark number is found to hold for v2 within 10%. This observation could be evidence for the development of partonic collectivity in 54.4 GeV Au+Au collisions. Differences in v2 and v3 between baryons and anti-baryons are presented, and ratios of v3/v3/22 are studied and motivated by hydrodynamical calculations. The ratio of v2 of ϕ mesons to that of anti-protons (v2(ϕ)/v2(p¯)) shows centrality dependence at low transverse momentum, presumably resulting from the larger effects from hadronic interactions on anti-proton v2.

The elliptic (v2) and triangular (v3) azimuthal anisotropy coefficients in central 3He+Au, d+Au, and p+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 200 GeV are measured as a function of transverse momentum (pT) at mid-rapidity (|η|<0.9), via the azimuthal angular correlation between two particles both at |η|<0.9. While the v2(pT) values depend on the colliding systems, the v3(pT) values are system-independent within the uncertainties, suggesting an influence on eccentricity from sub-nucleonic fluctuations in these small-sized systems. These results also provide stringent constraints for the hydrodynamic modeling of these systems.

Using limit linear series on chains of curves, we show that closures of certain Brill-Noether loci contain a product of pointed Brill-Noether loci of small codimension. As a result, we obtain new non-containments of Brill-Noether loci, in particular that dimensionally expected non-containments hold for expected maximal Brill-Noether loci. Using these degenerations, we also give a new proof that Brill-Noether loci with expected codimension −ρ≤⌈g/2⌉ have a component of the expected dimension. Additionally, we obtain new non-containments of Brill-Noether loci by considering the locus of the source curves of unramified double covers.
We prove that the projectivized strata of differentials are not contained in pointed Brill-Noether divisors, with only a few exceptions. For a generic element in a stratum of differentials, we show that many of the associated pointed Brill-Noether loci are of expected dimension. We use our results to study the Auel-Haburcak Conjecture: We obtain new non-containments between maximal Brill-Noether loci in Mg. Our results regarding quadratic differentials imply that the quadratic strata in genus 6 are uniruled.
Echolocating bats exhibit remarkable auditory behaviors, enabled by adaptations within and outside their auditory system. Yet, research in echolocating bats has focused mostly on brain areas that belong to the classic ascending auditory pathway. This study provides direct evidence linking the cerebellum, an evolutionarily ancient and non-classic auditory structure, to vocalization and hearing. We report that in the fruit-eating bat Carollia perspicillata, external sounds can evoke cerebellar responses with latencies below 20 ms. Such fast responses are indicative of early inputs to the bat cerebellum. In vocalizing bats, distinct spike train patterns allow the prediction with over 85% accuracy of the sound they are about to produce, or have just produced, i.e., communication calls or echolocation pulses. Taken together, our findings provide evidence of specializations for vocalization and hearing in the cerebellum of an auditory specialist.
On the potential for GWAS with phenotypic population means and allele-frequency data (popGWAS)
(2024)
This study explores the potential of a novel genome-wide association study (GWAS) approach for identifying loci underlying quantitative polygenic traits in natural populations. Extensive population genetic forward simulations demonstrate that the approach is generally effective for oligogenic and moderately polygenic traits and relatively insensitive to low heritability, but applicability is limited for highly polygenic architectures and pronounced population structure. The required sample size is moderate with very good results being obtained already for a few dozen populations scored. The method performs well in predicting population means even with a moderate false positive rate. When combined with machine learning for feature selection, this rate can be further reduced. The data efficiency of the method, particularly when using pooled sequencing, makes GWAS studies more accessible for research in biodiversity genomics. Overall, this study highlights the promise of this popGWAS approach for dissecting the genetic basis of complex traits in natural populations.
