Research fields, challenges and opportunities in European oilseed crops breeding

Due to the geographical specialization in oilseed world production, Europe has a major role to play in winter oilseed rape and sunflower breeding. Mainly based on the most recen t results, this review aims to identify the main research and breeding targets for these two crops, as seen through publications, with an attempt to suggest what are opportunities and challenges in these research fields. Growing a healthy and yielding crop remains the key driver for agronomic production. However sustainability and environmental profiles of the cultivar are now entering the field of play: The sustainability concern invested the field of resistance to diseases. Nitrogen use efficiency became an important target for Brassica napus , and crop resilience toward drought stresses is the way chosen in Helianthus annuus breeding for yield improvement. Significant advances are underway for quality traits, but the uncertainty on nutritional and industrial demand may explain why the product diversification remains low.
Podzemní chodby v jihomoravské středověké a novověké vesnici

Vědeckému výzkumu podzemních chodeb a prostor se v Evropě věnuje v poslední době značná pozornost. Jsou ustaveny společnosti, k teré se t ímto problémem zabývají a které mají i svůj t iskový orgán. 1 Touto tematikou se zabývají konference na národní i mezinárodní úrovni a jsou jí věnována i ně­ která muzea. Předeslaná skutečnost vedla k pokusu o shrnut í nových poznat­ ků, které v tomto směru byly na jižní Moravě v letech po d ruhé světové válce získány. Je zde možno navázat na, bohužel ne zcela dokončené práce, J . Skutila z konce čtyřicátých let v nichž jsou shrnuty poznatky na tehdejší úrovni poznání (Skutil 1948, 1949). Teritoriálně se příspěvek zabývá lokalitami z území J ihomoravského kraje s výjimkou zaniklého Pfaffenschlagu u Slavonie, k te rý sice leží v hranicích historické Moravy, ale již na území Jihočeského kraje. Pojednáno je jen o pod­ zemních chodbách ve venkovském prostředí , a proto mimo rámec zůstávají velmi složité systémy chodeb pod městskými historickými j ád ry v Jihlavě, Znojmě a Brně (Novotný 1962). Z hlediska provedení se tyto objekty dělí na chodby a prostory nevyzděné, tzv. lochy a prostory vyzděné.
Locally conformal symplectic structures on Lie algebras of type I and their solvmanifolds

We study Lie algebras of type I, that is, a Lie algebra {\mathfrak{g}} where all the eigenvalues of the operator {\operatorname{ad}_{X}} are imaginary for all {X\in\mathfrak{g}} . We prove that the Morse–Novikov cohomology of a Lie algebra of type I is trivial for any closed 1-form. We focus on locally conformal symplectic structures (LCS) on Lie algebras of type I. In particular, we show that for a Lie algebra of type I any LCS structure is of the first kind. We also exhibit lattices for some 6-dimensional Lie groups of type I admitting left invariant LCS structures in order to produce compact solvmanifolds equipped with an invariant LCS structure.
The Dark Side of Creativity

Creativity has been regarded as a positive force to promote the development of individuals, organizations and society. However, creativity also has a hidden dark side. In recent years, re-searchers have proposed the concept of the dark side of creativity and vicious creativity, and the concept focuses on the relationship between creativity and dishonesty. The article combed the researchers on the study of the relationship between creativity and dishonest behavior, creativity by improving individual defending their actions to increase the ability of the dishonest behavior of the individual in a dilemma situation.
Density-functional thermochemistry. III. The role of exact exchange

Despite the remarkable thermochemical accuracy of Kohn–Sham density‐functional theories with gradient corrections for exchange‐correlation [see, for example, A. D. Becke, J. Chem. Phys. 96, 2155 (1992)], we believe that further improvements are unlikely unless exact‐exchange information is considered. Arguments to support this view are presented, and a semiempirical exchange‐correlation functional containing local‐spin‐density, gradient, and exact‐exchange terms is tested on 56 atomization energies, 42 ionization potentials, 8 proton affinities, and 10 total atomic energies of first‐ and second‐row systems. This functional performs significantly better than previous functionals with gradient corrections only, and fits experimental atomization energies with an impressively small average absolute deviation of 2.4 kcal/mol.
Unique determination of a transversely isotropic perturbation in a linearized inverse boundary value problem for elasticity

We consider a linearized inverse boundary value problem for the elasticity system. From the linearized Dirichlet-to-Neumann map at zero frequency, we show that a transversely isotropic perturbation of a homogeneous isotropic elastic tensor can be uniquely determined. From the linearized Dirichlet-to-Neumann map at two distinct positive frequencies, we show that a transversely isotropic perturbation of a homogeneous isotropic density can be identified at the same time.

Usewear and phytoliths on bedrock grinding patches, Pilbara, north-western Australia

Bedrock grinding patches were recorded in the Fortescue Metals Group Ltd (FMG) Rail Corridor within the Wooodstock/Abydos Aboriginal Heritage Area 130 km south of Port Hedland, Western Australia. WA State Ministerial conditions required the salvage of representative samples, residue analysis and other detailed microscopic study to investigate the technology and function of these grinding patches. Following a pilot study and experimental work, we undertook microscopic study of 159 samples - including PVS (PolyVinyl Siloxane) peels and water extractions - from 81 grinding patches, collected at six sites. The worn stone surfaces are microscopically similar to traces found on experimental and Aboriginal stone artefacts used for grinding seeds, although the development of wear patterns is variable. The most common residues were phytoliths, which indicate that grinding patches were utilised for grinding grasses of the Panicoid and Chloridoid sub-families, although the open nature of the sites means issues of taphonomy need to be considered. Spinifex phytoliths suggest seeds from this plant may also have been exploited. No traces of pigment or ochre were found. We suggest that the grinding patches are linked with food processing associated ceremonial gatherings and rock art.
On Convergence of Heuristics Based on Douglas-Rachford Splitting and ADMM to Minimize Convex Functions over Nonconvex Sets†

Recently, heuristics based on the Douglas-Rachford splitting algorithm and the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) have found empirical success in minimizing convex functions over nonconvex sets, but not much has been done to improve the theoretical understanding of them. In this paper, we investigate convergence of these heuristics. First, we characterize optimal solutions of minimization problems involving convex cost functions over nonconvex constraint sets. We show that these optimal solutions are related to the fixed point set of the underlying nonconvex Douglas-Rachford operator. Next, we establish sufficient conditions under which the Douglas-Rachford splitting heuristic either converges to a point or its cluster points form a nonempty compact connected set. In the case where the heuristic converges to a point, we establish sufficient conditions for that point to be an optimal solution. Then, we discuss how the ADMM heuristic can be constructed from the Douglas-Rachford splitting algorithm. We show that, unlike in the convex case, the algorithms in our nonconvex setup are not equivalent to each other and have a rather involved relationship between them. Finally, we comment on convergence of the ADMM heuristic and compare it with the Douglas-Rachford splitting heuristic.
Latest Diversity Trend and Seasonal Abundance of Population of Zooplankton (Holoplankton) Communities in the South Caspian Sea, Iran

Seasonal variations of zooplankton communities were studied in the southern Caspian Sea for 4 successive seasons and 8 transects with 5 stations from 5 to 100 m depths which sampled during 2009. The zooplankton population constituted of 73.33% copepods, 24.21% rotifers, 2.23% cladocerans and 0.23% protozoans. Copepods were dominant at all stations with a density between 1456±531 ind. m -3 (Transect 8) to 4524±1215 ind. m -3 (transect 2). The predominant species of copepods was Acartia tonsa constituting 99.50% of all copepod populations. They were most abundant during warm months of summer in the upper layers (surface to 20 m depth) while rotifers replaced them during cold season. The maximum density of zooplankton was observed in the west decreasing towards the eastern parts of the sea.
Expression of PCNA and P 16 in Rat Kidney Intoxicated withINK 4 a CCl and the Antagonistic Effect of Silymarin

The present study was undertaken to investigate the antagonistic effect of silymarin on kidney cortex damage induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl ) in male Sprague Dawely rats. Rats were randomly divided 4 into three groups; control group (n=10), group II (n=30) was injected IP with CCl (1ml /Kg) for 3 doses weekly, 4 each other, for 12 weeks and group III (n=30) was injected with CCl and treated with silymarin in a daily oral 4 dose (50 mg/ Kg). Results revealed that CCl induced prominent damage in kidney cortex; congestion, 4 hyalinization of glomerular tuft, hyaline casts in proximal convoluted tubules and pyknotic nuclei in widened distal tubules ended with fatty degeneration. Silymarin treatment inhibited the deleterious toxicity of CCl and 4 returned to normal architecture after 12 weeks. PAS stain showed morphologic criteria for acute tubular necrosis; focal loss of the luminal brush border in proximal tubules and PAS positively revealed thickened basement membranes in CCl group as compared with other groups. Collagen fibrils accumulated in renal 4 corpuscle around larger vessels and Bowman's capsule and in renal interstitial space with more significant increase (p> 0.001) in CCl group especially after 8 weeks and returned to normal content after silymarin 4 treatment. Immunohistochemically; numbers of proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) showed significant increase (p >0.05) and the numbers of cell cycle inhibitor p16 showed significant decrease (p >0.001) in INK4a group III after silymarin treatment as compared with their counterparts. In conclusion: Silymarin antagonized nephrotoxicity induced by CCl by its anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrogenic effect along with enhanced PCNA 4 and inhibited p16 . INK4a
Analysis of Citations to Books in Chemistry PhD Dissertations in an Era of Transition.

A citation analysis of chemistry PhD dissertations at the University of Texas at Austin yielded data on how often graduate students cite books in their bibliographies, and on the characteristics of the books cited, in terms of age and local ownership. The analysis examined samples of dissertations selected from five discrete years - 198: 200: 2009, 201: and 2015 - in order to provide longitudinal data on how citation trends are changing during a transition period in libraries. Data indicated that chemistry graduate students cited low numbers of books relative to journal articles, confirming expectations from similar studies, and that the trend over the time period studied is downward, despite the increasing number and availability of e-books. The results could inform collection management decisions and strategies for promoting book content to graduate students in future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Reliability and Validity of a New Fitness Intermittent Judo Test

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the validity and the reliability of a new fitness intermittent judo test using the basic movement patterns of judo. Methods: Forty-one national level judo male athletes participated in this study. Eighteen judokas performed the intermittent judo fitness test consisting of 10 × 30 s maximal interspersed with 15 second rest, the Australian shuttle test, the special judo fitness test and a judo fight. Twenty three judokas performed twice the intermittent judo fitness test on different days. Results: The results showed significant correlations between the biggest number of Uchi-komi during the intermittent judo fitness test (Uchi-komibest), the longest distance covered during Australian shuttle test and the total projection in the special judo fitness test (P < 0.01). Likewise, a significant relationship was demonstrated between the total Uchi-komi performed in the new judo test (Uchi-komiTot) and both the total distance covered during Australian test and the total projection during the special judo fitness test (P < 0.01). In addition, a significant correlation of the rating of perceived exertion was observed between the intermittent judo fitness test and judo fight (P < 0.05). The intra-class correlation coefficient analysis revealed relatively strong test-retest reliability for Uchi-komibest and Uchi-komiTot (> 0.90). The smallest worthwhile change showed that a change of 2 and 4 Uchi-komi in Uchi-komibest and Uchi-komiTot respectively is occurred. Conclusions: The new fitness intermittent judo test is both valid and reliable measurement tool to assess judokas’ fitness at the basic judo movement patterns.
Electrographic Seizures in Pediatric Systemic Cancer Patients with acute Unexplained Encephalopathy : Bedside Emergent ≥ 30 min EEG

Purpose: In comatose children, the definite association between electroencephalographic (EEG) paroxysmal activities and clinical seizures remains uncertain. We aimed prospectively to evaluate EEG patterns and subclinical seizures among systemic cancer pediatric patients who underwent unexplained acute deterioration of consciousness during admission in ICUs and Neuro-ICUs. Study design: Multicenter prospective observational study describing sub-clinical seizures and EEG features of pediatric systemic cancer patients (1-16 years) with acute unexplained medical coma who underwent emergent bedside EEG ≥ 30 minutes monitoring. Material and methods: We conducted a prospective longitudinal observational study design and EEG assessment of 40 systemic cancer patients age ≤ 16 years, consecutively diagnosed and admitted in intensive care units (ICUs) and neurointensive care units (Neuro-ICUs) of different cancer hospitals with unexplained acute impaired consciousness (GCS ≤ 8) within ≤ 6 hours of such deterioration. Bed-side EEG recordings of ≥ 30minutes were done according to the clinical scenario and the requirements of the treating neurologist/intensivist. Patients with brain tumor, brain metastasis, seizures or those with known cause of coma were excluded. Data surrounding clinical, electrographic, and treatment factors were collected via a prospective systematic review of medical records and EEGs for correlation with diagnosis, change in the diagnosis and management. Results: Over a period of 2 year, 40 children (22.5% 1-5 years, 37.5% 6-10 years, 40% 11-16 years); boys 65% and girls 35%, with systemic cancer patients with a median age of 9.8 years with unexplained acute deterioration of conscious level (GCS ≤ 8) were studied. This cohort underwent bed-side EEG of ≥ 30 minutes, which was abnormal in 100% of the records. The main reasons for EEG requests were: 1) unexplained impaired consciousness 22(55%) and 2) impaired consciousness and subtle convulsions 18(45%). The most common EEG abnormalities were invariant mixed theta-delta slowing (27.5%), followed by low-amplitude delta pattern plus epileptiform discharges (20%) and there was electrographic evidence of EEG seizures in 17(42.5%) of the cohort. These electrographic seizures were present in 55.5% of 18 patients with subtle convulsions, whereas were documented only in 20% of the 22 patients without such movements. Electrographic seizures among patients with subtle convulsions responded to anticonvulsant drugs in 75% cases as compared 50% such response among patients without such convulsions. Conclusion: Emergent bed-side EEG record of ≥ 30 minutes is useful in systemic cancer patients admitted in ICUs, Neuro-ICUs with acutely impaired consciousness with or without abnormal body movements. Neurology consultation and EEG studies in these comatose patients provide useful diagnostic information.
Object familiarity in a reach and placing task with a 24-hour delay

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate if using a familiar object (metal cup) or an unfamiliar object (clay mass) would elicit differences in movement kinematics in a reaching and placing occupation among trials separated by a 24-hour delay. Method This study was a mixed experimental design. 72 healthy participants between the ages of 18-65 were recruited and randomly assigned to either the high familiarity (HF) condition with the metal cup or the low familiarity (LF) condition with the clay mass. The participants were then asked to perform trials on day-1 and return in 24-hours for follow-up trials. Participants opened a door and moved an object from a shelf to a target on a shelf. The movement was analyzed in terms of movement time, movement units, displacement, average absolute velocity, peak velocity, and percent of movement time to peak velocity. Results There were no differences in movement dynamics between the two object familiarity groups on the second day. There were differences between the two groups when comparing the final trial of day-1 to initial trial of day-2 in terms of peak velocity. There were also differences between the two groups when comparing the initial trial of day-1 to the initial trial of day-2 in terms of percent of movement time to peak velocity. Differences were found on the final trial of day-1 and the initial trial of day-2 in terms of displacement and peak velocity. Similarly, comparison of the initial trials of both days showed differences in movement in terms of movement time, displacement, average absolute velocity, peak velocity, and percent of movement time to peak velocity. Significant differences in movement were also found when

The Legendrian knot complement problem

We prove that every Legendrian knot in the tight contact structure of the [Formula: see text]-sphere is determined by the contactomorphism type of its exterior. Moreover, by giving counterexamples we show this to be not true for Legendrian links in the tight [Formula: see text]-sphere. On the way a new user-friendly formula for computing the Thurston–Bennequin invariant of a Legendrian knot in a surgery diagram is given.
Indications for breast magnetic resonance imaging in an oncology reference center *

Objective: To evaluate and discuss the indications for breast magnetic resonance imaging in an oncology reference center. Materials and Methods: Retrospective study approved by the Committee for Ethics in Research of the institution and developed through a review of patients’ records and clinical reports. All the breast magnetic resonance studies performed in the period from July 2008 to July 2009 (n = 529) were included. Results: Mean patients’ age was 49 years, ranging from 17 to 86 years. Family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer was present in 162 patients (30.6%). Most common indications for breast magnetic resonance imaging included inconclusive mammographic/sonographic findings (48.8%), evaluation of tumor recurrence/surgical scar after breast surgery (15.1%), disease staging/surgical planning (11.7%) and screening in high-risk patients (8.5%). Conclusion: In spite of inconclusive findings at conventional imaging studies being the most common indication for breast magnetic resonance imaging, there is no evidence in the literature supporting such a conduct. Because of its high sensitivity and high rate of false positive results, magnetic resonance imaging should be appropriately indicated in order to avoid unnecessary procedures. Once such method is appropriately indicated, it may contribute in the decision making process, constituting an essential tool in the assessment of breast lesions.
