Heavy-ion collisions at lower energies provide a rich environment for investigating reaction dynamics. Recent theory has suggested a sensitivity to the symmetry energy and the equation of state via deformations of the reaction system and ternary breaking of the deformed reaction partners into three heavy fragments. A new detection system has been commissioned at Texas A&M University in an attempt to investigate some of the observables sensitive to the nuclear equation of state.

Nuclear Theory ,Nuclear Experiment - Abstract
Previous work has quantified the degree of neutron-proton equilibration in heavy-ion nuclear collisions by observing the convergence of isospin observables (such as the isoscaling parameter α) to an expected value based on similar symmetric reaction systems. We present a new signature of equilibration: the convergence of the isospin asymmetry (as quantified by three isoscaling metrics) of two mirror asymmetric reaction systems toward each other rather than a predefined point. For the reactions of 35 MeV/u Zn64,70+Zn64,70 and Zn64,Ni64+Zn64,Ni64 the neutron-proton equilibration was found to be approximately 80%, and this result is compared directly to previous work. © 2018 American Physical Society.

Nuclear Experiment - Abstract
Heavy-ion collisions around the Fermi energy provide a rich environment for investigating reaction dynamics and provide an opportunity to explore the transition from quasi-fission to multi-fragmentation. A new detection system, FAUST-QTS, has been commissioned at Texas A&M University in order to investigate the reaction dynamics in this transitional energy regime. FAUST-QTS is constructed through the coupling of the FAUST array to a large bore quadrupole triplet spectrometer, and designed to detect heavy fragments near the beam axis coincident with lighter particles. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

The half-life of 37K has been measured to be 1.23651 (94) s, a value nearly an order of magnitude more precise than the best previously reported. The β+ decay of 37K occurs mainly via a superallowed branch to the ground state of its T = 1/2 mirror, 37Ar. This transition has been used recently, together with similar transitions from four other nuclei, as a method for determining Vud, but the precision of its f t value was limited by the relatively large half-life uncertainty. Our result corrects that situation. Another motivation for improving the f t value was to determine the standard-model prediction for the β-decay correlation parameters, which will be compared to those currently being measured by the TRINAT Collaboration at TRIUMF. The new f t value, 4605(8) s, is now limited in precision by the 97.99(14)% ground-state branching ratio. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Here, we examine surface waters as a modality to better understand baseline antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across the environment to supplement existing AMR monitoring in pathogens associated with humans, foods, and animals. Data from metagenomic and quasimetagenomic (shotgun sequenced enrichments) are used to describe AMR in Maryland surface waters from high and low human impact classifications., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.

- Abstract
Visual motion drives smooth pursuit eye movements through a sensory-motor decoder that uses multiple parallel neural pathways to transform the population response in extrastriate area MT into movement. We evaluated the decoder by challenging pursuit in monkeys with reduced motion reliability created by reducing coherence of motion in patches of dots. Our strategy was to determine how reduced dot coherence changes the population response in MT. We then predicted the properties of a decoder that transforms the MT population response into dot coherence-induced deficits in the initiation of pursuit and steady-state tracking. During pursuit initiation, decreased dot coherence reduces MT population response amplitude without changing the preferred speed at its peak. The successful decoder reproduces the measured eye movements by multiplication of 1 ) the estimate of target speed from the peak of the population response with 2 ) visual-motor gain based on the amplitude of the population response. During steady-state tracking, the decoder that worked for pursuit initiation failed to reproduce the paradox that steady-state eye speeds do not accelerate to the target speed despite persistent image motion. It predicted eye acceleration to target speed even when monkeys' eye speeds were steady at well below the target speed. To account for the effect of dot coherence on steady-state eye speed, we postulate that the decoder uses sensory-motor gain to modulate the eye velocity positive feedback that normally sustains perfect steady-state tracking. Then, poor steady-state tracking persists because of balance between eye deceleration caused by low positive feedback gain and acceleration driven by MT. NEW & NOTEWORTHY By challenging a sensory-motor system with degraded sensory stimuli, we reveal how the sensory-motor decoder transforms the population response in extrastriate area MT into commands for the initiation and steady-state behavior of smooth pursuit eye movements. Conclusions are based on measuring population responses in MT for multiple target speeds and different levels of motion reliability and evaluating a decoder with a biologically motivated architecture to determine the decoder properties that create the measured eye movements.

- Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that underrepresented students in active-learning classrooms experience narrower achievement gaps than underrepresented students in traditional lecturing classrooms, averaged across all science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and courses. We conducted a comprehensive search for both published and unpublished studies that compared the performance of underrepresented students to their overrepresented classmates in active-learning and traditional-lecturing treatments. This search resulted in data on student examination scores from 15 studies (9,238 total students) and data on student failure rates from 26 studies (44,606 total students). Bayesian regression analyses showed that on average, active learning reduced achievement gaps in examination scores by 33% and narrowed gaps in passing rates by 45%. The reported proportion of time that students spend on in-class activities was important, as only classes that implemented high-intensity active learning narrowed achievement gaps. Sensitivity analyses showed that the conclusions are robust to sampling bias and other issues. To explain the extensive variation in efficacy observed among studies, we propose the heads-and-hearts hypothesis, which holds that meaningful reductions in achievement gaps only occur when course designs combine deliberate practice with inclusive teaching. Our results support calls to replace traditional lecturing with evidence-based, active-learning course designs across the STEM disciplines and suggest that innovations in instructional strategies can increase equity in higher education., Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing interest., (Copyright © 2020 the Author(s).

- Abstract
Smooth pursuit eye movements are used by primates to track moving objects. They are initiated by sensory estimates of target speed represented in the middle temporal (MT) area of extrastriate visual cortex and then supported by motor feedback to maintain steady-state eye speed at target speed. Here, we show that reducing the coherence in a patch of dots for a tracking target degrades the eye speed both at the initiation of pursuit and during steady-state tracking, when eye speed reaches an asymptote well below target speed. The deficits are quantitatively different between the motor-supported steady-state of pursuit and the sensory-driven initiation of pursuit, suggesting separate mechanisms. The deficit in visually guided pursuit initiation could not explain the deficit in steady-state tracking. Pulses of target speed during steady-state tracking revealed lower sensitivities to image motion across the retina for lower values of dot coherence. However, sensitivity was not zero, implying that visual motion should still be driving eye velocity toward target velocity. When we changed dot coherence from 100% to lower values during accurate steady-state pursuit, we observed larger eye decelerations for lower coherences, as expected if motor feedback was reduced in gain. A simple pursuit model accounts for our data based on separate modulation of the strength of visual-motor transmission and motor feedback. We suggest that reduced dot coherence allows us to observe evidence for separate modulations of the gain of visual-motor transmission during pursuit initiation and of the motor corollary discharges that comprise eye velocity memory and support steady-state tracking. NEW & NOTEWORTHY We exploit low-coherence patches of dots to control the initiation and steady state of smooth pursuit eye movements and show that these two phases of movement are modulated separately by the reliability of visual motion signals. We conclude that the neural circuit for pursuit includes separate modulation of the strength of visual-motor transmission for movement initiation and of eye velocity positive feedback to support steady-state tracking.

- Abstract
Background: The therapeutic resistance of gliomas is, at least in part, due to stemlike glioma cells (SLGCs), which self-renew, generate the bulk of tumor cells, and sustain tumor growth. SLGCs from glioblastomas (GB) have been studied in cell cultures or mouse models, whereas little is known about SLGCs from lower grade gliomas., Objective: To compare cell and organotypic slice cultures from GBs and lower grade gliomas and study the maintenance of SLGCs., Methods: Cells and tissue slices from astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, oligoastrocytomas, and GBs were cultivated in (1) serum-free medium supplemented with the growth factors epidermal growth factor (EGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), (2) medium containing 10% serum plus EGF and bFGF (F+GF medium), or (3) medium containing 10% fetal calf serum (F medium). Maintenance of cells and cytoarchitecture was addressed, using several candidate SLGC markers (Nestin, Sox2, CD133, CD44, CD49f/integrin α6, and Notch) as well as CD31 (endothelial cells), ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (microglia), and vimentin. Cell vitality was determined., Results: SLGCs were present in tissue slices from lower and higher grade gliomas. Preservation of the cytoarchitecture in slices was possible for >3 weeks. Maintenance of SLGCs required the presence of EGF/bFGF in cell and slice cultures, in which F+GF appeared superior to N medium. Constraints were observed regarding the preservation of the microglia but not of the endothelial cells. Maintenance of the microglia was improved by addition of the cytokine macrophage colony-stimulating factor., Conclusion: Medium supplemented with serum and growth factors EGF, bFGF, and macrophage colony-stimulating factor permits the preservation of SLGCs and non-SLGCs in the original glioma microenvironment.
