Selection signature analysis using whole genome resequencing data reveals candidate genes for white plumage color in Korean native ducks by Jaewon Kim, Jaegwon Kim, Eunjin Cho, Sunghyun Cho, Minjun Kim, Won-Hyung Chung, Jung-Woo Choi, Hyo Jun Choo, Jun Heon Lee

“…To detect distinct genomic regions between KND populations with different plumage colors, we analyzed three types of selection signature analysis: the fixation index (Fst), nucleotide diversity(π), and cross-population extended haplotype heterozygosity (XP-EHH). Results Population structure analysis showed that although KNDC and KNDW are distinct from PKD, they form a single group sharing a common ancestor. …”

Scheme design for neutron beam shaping assembly based on D-Be compact fast neutron source by WANG Jia, ZHANG Zixiong, LI Kaixuan, PAN Yangxuan, WEI Qianglin, LIU Yibao

“…Then, a scheme design for BSA was carried out using a 1.45 MeV, 30 mA deuterium beam to bombard a 9 μm thin beryllium target, and set a basis BSA model with a cylindrical structure as a whole.ResultsThe simulation results show that using a 20 cm thick BiF3 and 30 cm thick MgF2 combined slowing layer, a 30 cm thick Pb reflector layer, a 9 cm thick MgF2 supplementary slowing layer, and a 0.2 mm thick Cd thermal neutron absorption layer, the outlet is ensured to γ and fast neutron composition, Φepi/Φth, Φepi/Φfast meets the recommended values of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency).ConclusionsThis study obtained the neutron spectra and BSA specific design scheme of low-energy deuterium beams and thin beryllium targets, providing data reference for the slowing shaping of neutrons in D-Be neutron sources and supporting subsequent research on D-Be sources.…”
