NASA’s all-sky survey mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), is specifically engineered to detect exoplanets that transit bright stars. Thus far, TESS has successfully identified approximately 400 transiting exoplanets, in addition to roughly 6 000 candidate exoplanets pending confirmation. In this study, we present the results of our ongoing project, the Validation of Transiting Exoplanets using Statistical Tools (VaTEST). Our dedicated effort is focused on the confirmation and characterisation of new exoplanets through the application of statistical validation tools. Through a combination of ground-based telescope data, high-resolution imaging, and the utilisation of the statistical validation tool known as TRICERATOPS, we have successfully discovered eight potential super-Earths. These planets bear the designations: TOI-238b (1.61
$^{+0.09} _{-0.10}$ R
$_\oplus$), TOI-771b (1.42
$^{+0.11} _{-0.09}$ R
$_\oplus$), TOI-871b (1.66
$^{+0.11} _{-0.11}$ R
$_\oplus$), TOI-1467b (1.83
$^{+0.16} _{-0.15}$ R
$_\oplus$), TOI-1739b (1.69
$^{+0.10} _{-0.08}$ R
$_\oplus$), TOI-2068b (1.82
$^{+0.16} _{-0.15}$ R
$_\oplus$), TOI-4559b (1.42
$^{+0.13} _{-0.11}$ R
$_\oplus$), and TOI-5799b (1.62
$^{+0.19} _{-0.13}$ R
$_\oplus$). Among all these planets, six of them fall within the region known as ‘keystone planets’, which makes them particularly interesting for study. Based on the location of TOI-771b and TOI-4559b below the radius valley we characterised them as likely super-Earths, though radial velocity mass measurements for these planets will provide more details about their characterisation. It is noteworthy that planets within the size range investigated herein are absent from our own solar system, making their study crucial for gaining insights into the evolutionary stages between Earth and Neptune.

The viability of organic dairy operations in the United States (US) relies on forage production. The objectives of this study were to (1) assess producer and farm information regarding current forage production practices and producer knowledge gaps and (2) identify forage research and educational needs of organic dairy producers across the US. A survey was distributed to 643 organic dairy producers across the US, with 165 respondents (26% response rate). A focus group consisting of extension professionals, university researchers and staff, consultants, dairy industry representatives and organic dairy producers was also consulted for forage research needs. Results showed that approximately half (51%) of surveyed producers were somewhat satisfied with their forage production systems and sometimes experienced negative weather-related impacts on forage yield and quality. A majority (64%) of producers felt their knowledge to meet farm goals was adequate but they reported a lack of resources to implement this knowledge especially for balancing high-forage diets and selecting soil amendments. This study revealed that 54% of producers rely on peer experiences as information resources to make decisions on forage programs. Producer knowledge gaps included pasture renovation with reduced or no-tillage, forage mixtures that match their needs, and forage management practices aiming for high-quality forage. Based on the survey and focus group findings, forage research and educational activities should foster climate change resilience regarding forage diversity adapted to local and regional climatic conditions, improve forage quality, enhance economic returns from soil fertility amendments and pasture renovation, and introduce new forages and forage mixtures that suit economical, agronomical, and environmental needs.

Laser plasma accelerators (LPAs) enable the generation of intense and short proton bunches on a micrometre scale, thus offering new experimental capabilities to research fields such as ultra-high dose rate radiobiology or material analysis. Being spectrally broadband, laser-accelerated proton bunches allow for tailored volumetric dose deposition in a sample via single bunches to excite or probe specific sample properties. The rising number of such experiments indicates a need for diagnostics providing spatially resolved characterization of dose distributions with volumes of approximately 1 cm
${}^3$ for single proton bunches to allow for fast online feedback. Here we present the scintillator-based miniSCIDOM detector for online single-bunch tomographic reconstruction of dose distributions in volumes of up to approximately 1 cm
${}^3$. The detector achieves a spatial resolution below 500
$\unicode{x3bc}$m and a sensitivity of 100 mGy. The detector performance is tested at a proton therapy cyclotron and an LPA proton source. The experiments’ primary focus is the characterization of the scintillator’s ionization quenching behaviour.

Laser–plasma accelerated (LPA) proton bunches are now applied for research fields ranging from ultra-high-dose-rate radiobiology to material science. Yet, the capabilities to characterize the spectrally and angularly broad LPA bunches lag behind the rapidly evolving applications. The OCTOPOD translates the angularly resolved spectral characterization of LPA proton bunches into the spatially resolved detection of the volumetric dose distribution deposited in a liquid scintillator. Up to 24 multi-pinhole arrays record projections of the scintillation light distribution and allow for tomographic reconstruction of the volumetric dose deposition pattern, from which proton spectra may be retrieved. Applying the OCTOPOD at a cyclotron, we show the reliable retrieval of various spatial dose deposition patterns and detector sensitivity over a broad dose range. Moreover, the OCTOPOD was installed at an LPA proton source, providing real-time data on proton acceleration performance and attesting the system optimal performance in the harsh laser–plasma environment.

Organic, grassfed (OGF) dairy, which requires higher pasture and forage dry matter intake compared with standard organic dairy practices, is unique both in its management needs and in production challenges. The OGF dairy sector is rapidly growing, with the expansion of this industry outpacing other dairy sectors. There is a lack of research outlining OGF dairy production practices, producer-identified research needs or social factors that affect OGF systems. The objectives of this study were to, with a group of OGF dairy producers, (1) assess information regarding current production practices and producer knowledge, and (2) identify agronomic and social factors that may influence milk production on OGF farms across the United States. A mail survey, focused on demographics, forage and animal management, knowledge, and satisfaction of their farm, was developed and distributed in 2019, with 167 responses (47% response rate). The majority of producers indicated they belonged to the plain, or Amish-Mennonite, community. Milk production was greater on farms that had Holstein cattle, as compared to farms with Jerseys and mixed breeds, and employed intensive pasture rotation. Furthermore, most producers reported the use of supplements such as molasses and kelp meal, which can improve milk production, but also increase feed costs. Producers who indicated that they were at least satisfied with their milk production also reported high levels of knowledge of grazing management and cow reproductive performance. Comparison of response data from plain/non-plain respondents revealed that those that did not identify as plain were more likely to utilize certain government programs, had different priorities and utilized technology more frequently. Based on these results, more research exploring financial and production benchmarks, effective communication strategies to reach OGF producers and methods to improve cattle production through improved forage quality is needed.

Rocks above and below the Precambrian-Palaeozoic unconformity at the base of many Palaeozoic sedimentary basins of mid-continental North America are distinguished by secondary K-feldspar, chlorite and illite. Thrusting of the Appalachian foreland is generally considered responsible for the fluid migrations which caused this alteration. We have examined secondary chlorite and illite from Cambro-Ordovician rocks which overlie the unconformity in southern Ontario, Canada. This area is situated along the interface between the Michigan and Appalachian basins. Water involved in chloritic alteration at ~150°C has an O isotope composition compatible with a basinal brine evolved from seawater. Brine migration was probably triggered by the Taconic Orogeny to the east. In comparison, the secondary illite (365–321 Ma) largely postdates the Acadian Orogeny, and the illite-forming fluids have stable isotopic compositions typical of tepid (~40–55°C) meteoric water. We suggest that basement arches beneath southern Ontario were reactivated by this orogeny, which facilitated introduction of meteoric water. Similar alteration in underlying Precambrian rocks shows that fluid flow was focused along the unconformity during the regional Ordovician brine migration, as well as during the localized Mississippian introduction of fresh water.

We present the adaptive optics assisted, near-infrared VLTI instrument GRAVITY for precision narrow-angle astrometry and interferometric phase referenced imaging of faint objects. With its two fibers per telescope beam, its internal wavefront sensors and fringe tracker, and a novel metrology concept, GRAVITY will not only push the sensitivity far beyond what is offered today, but will also advance the astrometric accuracy for UTs to 10 μas. GRAVITY is designed to work with four telescopes, thus providing phase referenced imaging and astrometry for 6 baselines simultaneously. Its unique capabilities and sensitivity will open a new window for the observation of a wide range of objects, and — amongst others — will allow the study of motion within a few times the event horizon size of the Galactic Center black hole.

The interdiffusion of Cu and Sn and the formation and dissolution of Cu-Sn precipitate phases have been examined for Cu(Sn) alloy thin films. Cu(Sn) films were deposited by electron beam evaporation in either a Sn/Cu bilayer or Cu/Sn/Cu trilayer film structure, with overall Sn concentrations from 0.1 to 5 atomic percent. Analysis by in situ resistivity, calorimetry, electron diffraction and x-ray diffraction measurements indicates that the bilayer and trilayer films form the intermetallic phase η-Cu6 Sn5 during film deposition. Upon heating, the ε-Cu3Sn phase forms at 170°C, then this phase dissolves into the Cu matrix at approximately 350°C. Finally, ζ- Cu10Sn3 phase forms and precipitates after heating to 500°C and cooling to room temperature. The final resistivity of Cu/Sn/Cu films with more than 2 atomic percent Sn was greater than 3.5 μΩ - cm. However, resistivities from 1.9 to 2.5 μΩ - cm after annealing were obtained with Cu/Sn/Cu films containing less than 2 atomic percent Sn.

The first experimental mapping of the ion beam channels near the Si 〈001〉 axis is reported. Remarkably fine structure is observed, with over thirty microchannels identified within 20 degrees of the Si 〈001〉 axis. Each map is made from about 16000 channeling spectra with each channeling probability becoming a pixel of information in the final plot. Contour maps have been constructed for ions of He and N with energies from 50 to 2000 keV. All features are identified by theoretical plots of silicon planar channels and axial channels.

Data were obtained from 233 heifers and 246 steers born in the autumn (September) or spring (March) seasons. The calves were sired by Polled Hereford (British) and Charolais, Chianina, Limousin. Maine- Anjou and Simmental (Continental European) bulls, from Aberdeen Angus (♂ × Holstein ♀ cows. Autumn-born calves weighed more at birth than did spring-born calves ( P < 0·01 ). Season of birth did not affect 205-. 305-. 365-day or slaughter weights. Incidence of dystocia was greater for Maine-Anjousired calves than for Polled Hereford calves (P < 0·05) with the other breeds intermediate. Significant sex differences were observed in practically all live and carcass traits with the exception of Warner- Bratzler tenderness and taste panel evaluations.
There were significant breed effects in which Continental European-sired calves gained weight more rapidly than did Polled Hereford-sired calves (P < 0·01) within each 90-day period, with the exception of 180 to 270 days. Slaughter weight and carcass weight per day of age followed the same trend. At slaughter at a mean age of 416 days, mean live weight of calves from Continental European breeds of sire was 1·075 of that of the Polled Hereford-sired calves. Proportion, weight and gain per day of edible meat in the carcass were greater for calves sired by Continental European bulls (P < 0·01). Although fat thickness and marbling score means were greater for Polled Hereford-sired cattle (P < 0·01), there were no significant differences in taste panel evaluations. There were no important two-way interactions between the main effects (sex, season of birth or sire breed).
