    Association of Polymorphisms in the Period3 (turPer3) Gene with Growth and Reproductive Traits in Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo)
    Smith, E.; Adikari, A. M.; Xu, J. (2018)
    Background and objective: Biological clock controls behavioral, physiological and biochemical circadian rhythms of animals. Circadian clock genes including period3 are involved in the circadian clock mechanism. The present study was conducted to test the hypothesis that differences in DNA sequence variations of the turkey period3 (turPer3) gene may be associated with performance traits including growth and reproduction. Methodology: The turPer3 gene was screened for DNA sequence variations and evaluated the relationships among haplogroups with performance traits. The DNA sequences of turPer3 (16.6 kb) gene were screened using 290 turkey birds by re-sequencing the individual amplicons. Results: Seven SNPs, including one each in exon 18 and intron 5, two SNPs in exon 19 and three SNPs in intron 6, were detected. The SNPs detected in the exon 19 were non-synonymous, which changed the amino acids from methionine to threonine and serine to phenylalanine at 953rd and 955th positions, respectively. Linkage disequilibrium (Dʼ) among SNPs ranged from 0.03-1.00. Pairwise FST ranged from 0.01-0.43. Haplogroup frequencies of the turPer3 ranged from 0.02-1.00, were significantly associated with body weight (BW) at 231 days of age, average daily gain (ADG) for the period of 160-231 d of age, FCR for the periods of 69-159 d and 160-231 d, egg production and semen quality traits (p#0.05). Conclusion: The DNA sequence variations of turPer3 gene are significantly associated with BW, ADG, FCR, egg production, egg weight and semen quality traits. turPer3 gene may seem to have some regulatory role in the molecular mechanism of the circadian clock. Genomic reagents reported in the present study would be valuable for future genotype: phenotype evaluation studies in the turkey using a candidate gene approach.

    This paper describes the design, fabrication, commissioning and use of a CALibration source Insertion System (CALIS) in the DarkSide-50 direct dark matter search experiment. CALIS deploys radioactive sources into the liquid scintillator veto to characterize the detector response and detection efficiency of the DarkSide-50 Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber, and the surrounding 30 t organic liquid scintillator neutron veto. It was commissioned in September 2014 and has been used successfully in several gamma and neutron source campaigns since then. A description of the hardware and an excerpt of calibration analysis results are given below.

    China's Sloping Land Conversion Program: Institutional innovation or business as usual?
    Bennett, M. T.; Xu, J. (2005)
    China's Sloping Land Conversion Program (SLCP) is the largest land retirement program in the developing world, having the goal of converting 14.67 million hectares of cropland to forests by 2010 (4.4 million of which is on land with slopes greater than 25 degrees) and an additional "soft" goal of afforesting a roughly equal area of wasteland by 2010 (WWF, 2003; SFA, 2003). Pending successful completion it could represent a 10-20% increase in China's national forest area and a 10% decrease in current cultivated area (Hyde, Belcher and Xu, 2003; ZGTJNJ, 2001). At present the program is being implemented in more than 2000 counties across 25 provinces in China - a wide area containing huge ecological and economic heterogeneity - and involves the participation of tens of millions of rural households. The program has a total budget of RMB 337 billion (over US$40 billion), around RMB 50 billion of which has been spent so far, and over 7.2 million hectares of cropland has been retired by the end of 2003 (Uchida et al., 2002; Xu and Cao, 2001; Tao, Xu and Xu, 2004). This case study draws upon past research of the program during its pilot phase (1999-2001) as well as a 2003 household and village-level survey conducted by the Center for Chinese Agricultural Policy, CAS, to examine program design, implementation and outcomes to date. We find significant problems in design and implementation in terms of the program's predominantly top-down approach and lack of true conditionality, differentiation and mechanisms to ensure permanence. We arguing that SLCP needs to be redesigned to allow for greater choice on the part of rural households as to whether or not to participate, greater local innovation and input, and utilization of market-based mechanisms to improve cost effectiveness and reduce adverse outcomes. Furthermore, policymakers need to recognize that the long-term nature of the environmental services targeted by the program require significant extension of the subsidy lengths, which at present are at most 8 years.

    Although the existence of dark matter is supported by many evidences, based on astrophysical measurements, its nature is still completely unknown. One major candidate is represented by weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), which could in principle be detected through their collisions with ordinary nuclei in a sensitive target, producing observable low-energy (ud_less_than100 keV) nuclear recoils. The DarkSide program aims at the WIPMs detection using a liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr-TPC). In this paper we quickly review the DarkSide program focusing in particular on the next generation experiment DarkSide-G2, a 3.6-ton LAr-TPC. The different detector components are described as well as the improvements needed to scale the detector from DarkSide-50 (50 kg LAr-TPC) up to DarkSide-G2. Finally, the preliminary results on background suppression and expected sensitivity are presented.

    The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment has measured a nonzero value for the neutrino mixing angle 0(13) with a significance of 5.2 standard deviations. Antineutrinos from six 2.9 GW(th) reactors were detected in six antineutrino detectors deployed in two near (flux-weighted baseline 470 m and 576 m) and one far (1648 m) underground experimental halls. With a 43 000 ton-GW(th)-day live-time exposure in 55 days, 10 416 (80 376) electron-antineutrino candidates were detected at the far hall (near halls). The ratio of the observed to expected number of antineutrinos at the far hall is R = 0.940 +/- 0.011(stat.) +/- 0.004(syst.). A rate-only analysis finds sin(2)2 theta(13) = 0.092 +/- 0.016(stat.) +/- 0.005(syst.) in a three-neutrino framework.
