Kwok We report investigations on the magnetotransport in LaSb, which exhibits extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR). Foremost, we demonstrate that the resistivity plateau can be explained without invoking topological protection. We then determine the Fermi surface from Shubnikov–de Haas (SdH) quantum o... [Phys.

Description: Educational attainment is strongly influenced by social and other environmental factors, but genetic factors are estimated to account for at least 20% of the variation across individuals. Here we report the results of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for educational attainment that extends our earlier discovery sample of 101,069 individuals to 293,723 individuals, and a replication study in an independent sample of 111,349 individuals from the UK Biobank. We identify 74 genome-wide significant loci associated with the number of years of schooling completed. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with educational attainment are disproportionately found in genomic regions regulating gene expression in the fetal brain. Candidate genes are preferentially expressed in neural tissue, especially during the prenatal period, and enriched for biological pathways involved in neural development. Our findings demonstrate that, even for a behavioural phenotype that is mostly environmentally determined, a well-powered GWAS identifies replicable associated genetic variants that suggest biologically relevant pathways. Because educational attainment is measured in large numbers of individuals, it will continue to be useful as a proxy phenotype in efforts to characterize the genetic influences of related phenotypes, including cognition and neuropsychiatric diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Okbay, Aysu -- Beauchamp, Jonathan P -- Fontana, Mark Alan -- Lee, James J -- Pers, Tune H --

Description: The advanced molybdenum-based rare process experiment (AMoRE) aims to search for neutrinoless double beta decay ($$0 u eta eta $$0νββ) of $$^{100}$$100Mo with $$sim 100,hbox {kg}$$∼100kg of $$^{100}$$100Mo-enriched molybdenum embedded in cryogenic detectors with a dual heat and light readout. At the current, pilot stage of the AMoRE project we employ six calcium molybdate crystals with a total mass of 1.9 kg, produced from $$^{48}$$48Ca-depleted calcium and $$^{100}$$100Mo-enriched molybdenum ($$^{48{{ext {depl}}}}hbox {Ca}^{100}hbox {MoO}_{4}$$48deplCa100MoO4). The simultaneous detection of heat (phonon) and scintillation (photon) signals is realized with high resolution metallic magnetic calorimeter sensors that operate at milli-Kelvin temperatures. This stage of the project is carried out in the Yangyang underground laboratory at a depth of 700 m. We report first results from the AMoRE-Pilot $$0 u eta eta $$0νββ search with a 111 kg day live exposure of $$^{48{{ext {depl}}}}hbox {Ca}^{100}hbox {MoO}_{4}$$48deplCa100MoO4 crystals. No evidence for $$0 u eta eta $$0νββ decay of $$^{100}$$100Mo is found, and a upper limit is set for the half-life of $$0 u eta eta $$0νββ of $$^{100}$$100Mo of $$T^{0 u }_{1/2} 〉 9.5imes 10^{22}~hbox {years}$$T1/20ν〉9.5×1022years at 90% C.L. This limit corresponds to an effective Majorana neutrino mass limit in the range $$langle m_{ eta eta } angle le (1.2-2.1),hbox {eV}$$⟨mββ⟩≤(1.2-2.1)eV.
