The Effect of Virgin Coconut Oil on Lymphocyte and Cd4 in Chicken Vaccinated Against Avian Influenza Virus
This research aimed to find preventing alternative of avian influenza (AI) disease in broiler chickenby increasing body immune. Lymphocyte T would directly react to antigen presented to the cell surfaceby antigen presenting cell (APC). Th-CD4 interaction functioned to maintain Th-APC bond intactduring specific antigen activation. Fatty acid in virgin coconut oil (VCO) was potential asimmunostimulant, which therefore could increase chicken immunity through the increase of lymphocyteT and Th-CD4. This research used 40 one-day-old broiler chickens. The method applied was CompletelyRandomized Factorial Design in which the first factor was two levels of vaccine, namely groups of AIvaccinated and unvaccinated. The second factor was four levels of VCO namely 0, 5, 10, 15 mL/kg feed.Day Old Chick (DOC) were divided into eight treatment groups and repeated five times. Feed and waterwere given ad libitum for four weeks. The result showed that the number of lymphocyte and Th-CD4 inchickens given 10 mL per kg feed and vaccinated with AI was higher than that in chickens given VCOwithout AI vaccine
Emerging giant resonant exciton induced by Ta-substitution in anatase TiO: a tunable correlation effect
Titanium dioxide (TiO) has rich physical properties with potential
implications in both fundamental physics and new applications. Up-to-date, the
main focus of applied research is to tune its optical properties, which is
usually done via doping and/or nano-engineering. However, understanding the
role of -electrons in materials and possible functionalization of
-electron properties are still major challenges. Herewith, within a
combination of an innovative experimental technique, high energy optical
conductivity, and of the state-of-the-art {\it ab initio} electronic structure
calculations, we report an emerging, novel resonant exciton in the deep
ultraviolet region of the optical response. The resonant exciton evolves upon
low concentration Ta-substitution in anatase TiO films. It is
surprisingly robust and related to strong electron-electron and electron-hole
interactions. The - and - orbitals localization, due to Ta-substitution,
plays an unexpected role, activating strong electronic correlations and
dominating the optical response under photoexcitation. Our results shed light
on a new optical phenomenon in anatase TiO films and on the possibility
of tuning electronic properties by Ta substitution
Crossover of the high-energy spin fluctuations from collective triplons to localized magnetic excitations in doped Sr14-xCaxCu24O41 cuprate ladders
We studied the magnetic excitations in the quasi-one-dimensional (q-1D)
ladder subsystem of Sr_(14-x) Ca_x Cu_24 O_41(SCCO) using Cu L_3-edge resonant
inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). By comparing momentum-resolved RIXS spectra
with (x=12.2) and without (x=0) high Ca content, we track the evolution of the
magnetic excitations from collective two-triplon (2T) excitations (x=0) to
weakly-dispersive gapped modes at an energy of 280 meV (x=12.2). Density matrix
renormalization group (DMRG) calculations of the RIXS response in the doped
ladders suggest that the flat magnetic dispersion and damped excitation profile
observed at x=12.2 originates from enhanced hole localization. This
interpretation is supported by polarization-dependent RIXS measurements, where
we disentangle the spin-conserving {\Delta}S=0 scattering from the predominant
{\Delta}S=1 spin-flip signal in the RIXS spectra. The results show that the
low-energy weight in the {\Delta}S=0 channel is depleted when Sr is replaced by
Ca, consistent with a reduced carrier mobility. Our results demonstrate that
off-ladder impurities can affect both the low-energy magnetic excitations and
superconducting correlations in the CuO_4 plaquettes. Finally, our study
characterizes the magnetic and charge fluctuations in the phase from which
superconductivity emerges in SCCO at elevated pressures
Fate of charge order in overdoped La-based cuprates
In high-temperature cuprate superconductors, stripe order refers broadly to a coupled spin and charge modulation with a commensuration of eight and four lattice units, respectively. How this stripe order evolves across optimal doping remains a controversial question. Here we present a systematic resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of weak charge correlations in LaSrCuO and LaEuSrCuO. Ultra high energy resolution experiments demonstrate the importance of the separation of inelastic and elastic scattering processes. Long-range temperature-dependent stripe order is only found below optimal doping. At higher doping, short-range temperature-independent correlations are present up to the highest doping measured. This transformation is distinct from and preempts the pseudogap critical doping. We argue that the doping and temperature-independent short-range correlations originate from unresolved electron–phonon coupling that broadly peaks at the stripe ordering vector. In LaSrCuO, long-range static stripe order vanishes around optimal doping and we discuss both quantum critical and crossover scenarios
Uniaxial pressure induced stripe order rotation in La1.88Sr0.12CuO4
Static stripe order is detrimental to superconductivity. Yet, it has been proposed that transverse stripe fluctuations may enhance the inter-stripe Josephson coupling and thus promote superconductivity. Direct experimental studies of stripe dynamics, however, remain difficult. From a strong-coupling perspective, transverse stripe fluctuations are realized in the form of dynamic “kinks”—sideways shifting stripe sections. Here, we show how modest uniaxial pressure tuning reorganizes directional kink alignment. Our starting point is La1.88Sr0.12CuO4 where transverse kink ordering results in a rotation of stripe order away from the crystal axis. Application of mild uniaxial pressure changes the ordering pattern and pins the stripe order to the crystal axis. This reordering occurs at a much weaker pressure than that to detwin the stripe domains and suggests a rather weak transverse stripe stiffness. Weak spatial stiffness and transverse quantum fluctuations are likely key prerequisites for stripes to coexist with superconductivity
TRY plant trait database - enhanced coverage and open access
Plant traits-the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants-determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait-based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits-almost complete coverage for 'plant growth form'. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait-environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives
