Acclimation of Leaf Anatomy, Photosynthetic Light Use, and Xylem Hydraulics to Light in Amborella trichopoda (Amborellaceae)

Recent phylogenetic analyses place Amborella trichopoda, a semiclimbing premontane rain forest shrub endemic to New Caledonia, as sister to all other extant flowering plants. Here we present new observations on leaf anatomy and morphology, leaf photosynthetic physiology, and xylem hydraulic function for Amborella in the field. We focus on experimental measurements of the degree of photosynthetic and xylem hydraulic acclimation to sunlight by examining Amborella plants growing in deeply shaded understories (0.7% full sunlight) compared with individuals from exposed montane ridge crests in New Caledonia. Amborella leaves exhibit few anatomical differences between sun and shade. Instead of primarily adjusting leaf anatomical characters to irradiance, A. trichopoda leaves exposed periodically to full sunlight modify their orientation, becoming folded up along the midvein, presumably to avoid increases in light interception. Chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements demonstrate that the photosynthetic apparatus of A. trichopoda is shade adapted, based on a low capacity for excess light energy dissipation and low photosynthetic electron transport rate. In addition, these characteristics exhibit limited upregulation in response to increased irradiance. In parallel, there are small or no differences in leaf area‐specific hydraulic conductivity between sun and shade shoots of A. trichopoda. Taken together, A. trichopoda appears to possess limited developmental and physiological flexibility to light flux density. The bearing of these observations, in the context of other early‐diverging clades of angiosperms identified by recent phylogenetic studies, on the physiological ecology of the first angiosperms is discussed.
Transition-based Parsing with Stack-Transformers

Modeling the parser state is key to good performance in transition-based parsing. Recurrent Neural Networks considerably improved the performance of transition-based systems by modelling the global state, e.g. stack-LSTM parsers, or local state modeling of contextualized features, e.g. Bi-LSTM parsers. Given the success of Transformer architectures in recent parsing systems, this work explores modifications of the sequence-to-sequence Transformer architecture to model either global or local parser states in transition-based parsing. We show that modifications of the cross attention mechanism of the Transformer considerably strengthen performance both on dependency and Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) parsing tasks, particularly for smaller models or limited training data.
Micropropagated dwarf off-type Cavendish bananas (Musa spp., AAA) show improved tolerance to suboptimal temperatures

The responses of micropropagated normal plants and dwarf off-types of Cavendish (Musa spp. AAA) bananas to suboptimal temperatures were evaluated under field and controlled environmental conditions. Compared with bananas grown at 30/25 degrees C (day/night), leaf production at 18/14 degrees C was inhibited by 51% in normal plants and 18% in dwarf off-types. The emergence of the first leaf that developed at low temperature was delayed by 11 days for normal plants and 5 days for the dwarf off-types. Photoinhibition of lamina, measured by decrease in the chlorophyll fluorescence variable Fv/Fm, occurred in all banana plants growing in the field during the winter months. The extent to which the plants were photoinhibited was significantly greater for the normal plants than dwarf off-types. Under controlled environmental conditions, photoinhibition was similarly greater in normal plants than dwarf off-types. After 153 h at 18/14 degrees C and a 9-h photoperiod of photon flux density (PFD) of 380 mu mol/m(2). s, Fv/Fm was reduced by 22 and 13% for normal and dwarf off-types, respectively. When plants were exposed to 18 degrees C and a continuous PFD of 380 mu mol/m(2). s for 20 h, Fv/Fm was reduced by 50% for normal plants and 36% for dwarf off-types. The results of the study indicate that dwarf off-types generated from banana micropropagation showed improved tolerance to low temperature and light, showing better growth and lower susceptibility to low-temperature induced photoinhibition than normal plants.
Human Detection for Video Surveillance System

— Detecting human beings more important in a visual surveillance system is crucial for diverseapplication areas including abnormal event detection,person identification, gender classification and fall detection for elderly people. Thefirst step of the detection process is to detect an object which is in motion. Object detection couldbe performed usingoptical flow, background subtraction, and spatio-temporal filteringtechniques. Once detected, a moving object could be classified as a human being usingtexture-based, shape based,or motion-based features.In this paper, we presents a real time Human detection algorithm based on HOG(Histograms of Oriented Gradients) features and SVM (Support Vector Machine) architecture. Motion detection is used to extract moving regions, which can be scanned by sliding windows;detecting moving region can subtract unnecessary sliding windows of static background regionsunder the surveillance conditions, then detection efficiency can be improved. Every slidingwindow is regarded as an individual image region and HOG features are calculated as classifiedeigenvectors. At last, the detected video objects can be categorized into predefined groups ofhumans and other objects by using SVM classifier. After Experiment, the results from videos areprovided with high accuracy of Human Detection.
Changes in soil microbial biomass and bacterial diversity during the transition from winter to growing season in the subalpine/alpine forests

Changes in microbial community from winter to growing season are helpful to understand their selfadaptations in the high-frigid ecosystem. A field experiment was conducted to investigate soil microbial biomass and bacterial diversity by PCR-DGGE in the primary fir (Abies faxoniana) forest (PF), fir and birch (Betula albosinensis) mixed forest (MF) and secondary fir forest (SF) in western China. Soil samples were collected in March, April, May and August, 2009. The microbial biomass C (MBC) in soil organic layer (OL) increased from winter to growing season, but insignificant changes were observed in soil thawing period (April and May). In contrast, MBC in soil mineral layer (ML) displayed an obvious decrease at the end of soil thawing (May) and then increased. Rich DGGE bands indicating rich bacteria populations have been detected even under completely soil frozen condition. The richness of bacteria community significantly decreased during soil thawing period and then increased to growing season, except for which in OL of MF. The similarity of bacterial communities implied significant community changes during the transition, showing more sensitivity to temperature than forest type and soil layer. The results here are of ecological significance in explaining the adaptation of microorganisms in the high-frigid areas.
Nationwide incidence of sarcomas and connective tissue tumors of intermediate malignancy over four years using an expert pathology review network

Background: Since 2010, NETSARC and RREPS collected and reviewed prospectively all cases of sarcomas and tumors of intermediate malignancy (TIM) nationwide. Methods: The nationwide incidence of sarcoma or TIM (2013-2016), confirmed by expert pathologists using WHO classification are presented. Yearly variations and correlation with published clinical trials was analyzed. Results: 139 histological subtypes are reported among the 25172 patients with sarcomas (n=18710, 64%) or TIM (n=6460, 36%), respectively n=5838, n=6153, n=6654, and n=6527 yearly from 2013 to 2016. Over these 4 years, the yearly incidence of sarcomas and TIM was therefore 79.7, 24.9 and 95.1/106/year, above that previously reported. GIST, liposarcoma, leiomyosarcomas, undifferentiated sarcomas represented 13%, 13%, 11% and 11% of tumors. Only GIST, as a single entity had a yearly incidence above 10/million/year. There were respectively 30, 63 and 66 different histological subtypes of sarcomas or TIM with an incidence ranging from 10 to 1/106, 1-0.1/106, or < 0.1/106/year respectively. The 2 later incidence groups included 21% of the patients. The incidence of 8 histotypes varied significantly over this 4 years. Patients with tumors with an incidence above 1/106per year have significantly higher numbers of dedicated published phase III and phase II clinical trials (p<10-6). Conclusions: This nationwide registry of sarcoma patients with histology reviewed by sarcoma experts shows that the incidence of sarcoma and TIM is higher than reported, and that tumors with an incidence<106/year have a much lower access to clinical trials.
Probabilistic tests and stopping rules associated with hierarchical classification techniques

A test of random noise and an objective stopping rule are derived for use in association with hierarchical classification techniques. The apparatus required is replicated sampling and combinatorial analysis. The test and rule are based on the conditional probabilities of the number of sites all of whose replicates belong to the same group at each stage of the classification. These devices were tested on presence/absence data simulated from dependent multinomial trials. Where the number of groups became large the classification techniques proved somewhat unreliable because the groups were too similar. Usually clearer distinctions between groups will occur in nature. However, the test for random noise proved entirely successful and the stopping rule was quite successful, although, as one might expect, it was less successful when the classification itself was less successful.
Sistema urogenital de los lenguados de la familia Achiridae (Pisces: Pleuronectiformes) del Golfo de México

Se reconoce un mismo patron anatomico del sistema urogenital de las especies de lenguados de la familia Achiridae del Golfo de Mexico, Achirus lineatus, Trinectes macuiatus y Gymnachirus texae. Mientras que la morfologia de las gonadas corresponde al patron del orden Pleuronectiformes, la forma del rinon es exclusiva de esta familia por desarrollar un lobulo renal posterior, que ocupa la cavidad secundaria izquierda del cuerpo, junto con la vejiga urinaria. Los ovarios son aplanados y se extienden como en todos los Pleuronectiformes extravisceralmente en las cavidades secundarias del cuerpo, entre la musculatura axial y los pterigioforos anales. Los testiculos son pequenos y los conductos espermaticos son largos. La especie que muestra mayores diferencias es T. macuiatus por presentar el ovario derecho en posicion dorsal a las asas intestinales posteriores, por el caracter recto-del borde anterior de los ovarios, por tener pigmentados los conductos espermaticos y por mostrar la vejiga urinaria dividida en dos lobulos. An unique anatomical pattern of the urogenital system of the Achiridae species from the Gulf of Mexico Achirus lineatus, Trinectes maculatus and Gymnachirus texae is recognized. While the morphology of the gonads fits in the Pleuronectiformes pattern, the shape of the kidney is exclusively of the Achiridae, for the development of a posterior renal lobe. This lobe and the urinary bladder occupy together the left secondary body cavity. Ovaries are flattened and grow as in the rest of pleuronectiformes into the secundary body cavities, between the axial musculature and the anal pterigiophores. Testicles are small, but spermatic ducts are long. T. macuiatus is the species showing more anatomical differences, due to the dorsal position of the right ovary in relation to the posterior intestinal loops, for the straight anterior edge of ovaries, for the pigmentation of the spermatic ducts and for the division in two lobes of the urinary bladder.
Criterion Of Cyber-Physical Systems Sustainability

—The article proposes a sustainability criterion for cyber-physical systems. The concept of information security for cyber-physical systems has been transformed due to the specifics of these systems. Cyber-physical systems combine information and physical processes, which requires the creation of new approaches to ensure their security. The sustainability property for such systems shows their ability to maintain correct functioning under cyber-attacks. The criterion proposed in the article uses the representation of the structure of the cyber-physical system in the form of a graph, where the processes performed by the system are reflected in the form of routes. In proposed approach sustainability criterion is the number of routes of a certain quality, which allow to perform the objective function. Such a representation of the system and the objective function provides convenient modeling of possible ways to rebuild routes. Attacking impacts and system restoration measures that prove the applicability of the criterion for assessing the sustainability of cyber-physical systems are considered.
Review on The Importance of Geographic Information System (Gis) In Epidemiology: In Prevention and Control of Animal Disease

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computerized information system that allows for the capture, storage, manipulation, analysis; display, and reporting of geographically referenced data. It makes it possible to integrate different kinds of geographic information, such as digital maps, aerial photographs, satellite images, and global positioning system data (GPS), along with associated tabular database (e.g., „attributes’ or characteristics about geographic features). Essentially, the technique is a combination of computerized mapping technology and Database Management Systems (DBMS), in which spatial data sets from diverse sources are managed and analyzed [1].
Data Augmentation by Image-to-Image Translation for Image Retrieval

Daytime and nighttime visual appearance changes are addressed with artificially learned data augmentation. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are one of the state-of-the-art techniques for image retrieval. However, powerful deep neural networks are data-driven resulting in poor performance, when an irregular query, different from training data, is inputted. Augmentation is addressed with pix2pix a CycleGAN, used to provide image-to-image translation from regular daytime images into irregular nighttime images and are trained over four image datasets. To measure image translation quality, Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) evaluation scores are explored and compared with data augmentation. The final data augmentation effect is tested on the image retrieval benchmarks, where results show improvement on the 24/7 Tokyo dataset with minor performance loss on daytime Revisited Oxford and Paris datasets.
Holistic Structural Visualization of Coronary Arteries with Single-catheter Dual-modality Intravascular Imaging Combining IVUS and OFDI

To facilitate a holistic investigation of coronary arterial lesions for both basic research and clinical interventions, this work presents a catheter-based imaging system integrating IVUS and OFDI, as well as a new rendering method that computationally fuses the intrinsically co-registered images from both modalities into a single cross-sectional map of vessel structures. Imaging human cadaveric coronary arteries shows the benefit of this system by revealing near-lumen microstructures and spatially correlated macrostructures deep inside the vessel wall. The co-registration accuracy and operation in a clinical setting of this system was demonstrated through swine catheterization in vivo.
The influence of temperature, light intensity and nitrate concentration on drymatter production and chemical composition of Lolium perenne L.

In this experiment the nitrate concentration of the nutrient solution influenced the rate of drymatter production only when it fell below 0.2 mmol. Between this value and a value of ca. 1.5 mmol the chemical composition was considerably altered but production was not influenced. The solublecarbohydrate content, which reached a very high value in the above ground parts when the nitrate supply was low, fell as the nitrate concentration rose to the higher level and the same tendency could be observed in the crude-fibre content and some unknown components, probably hemicelluloses and pentosans. The organic-nitrogen fraction on the other hand, increased with increasing nitrate concentration in the above-mentioned range, whether calculated on a soluble-sugar-free basis or on the basis of total dry weight. Above a concentration of 1.5 mmol the effect was almost exclusively confined to the nitrate concentration in the plant; in this range of values there was always a defi­ nite relationship between the nitrate content and the soluble-carbohydrate content. The optimum temperature for dry-matter production was found to shift to higher values at higher light intensities. Usually the soluble-carbohydrate content decreased with increasing temperature; and with increasing light intensity it always increased. Of the remaining plant constituents only the nitrate content was influenced by temperature and light intensity, for the other plant compo­ nents analysed remained the same when calculated on a sugar-free dry weight. This difference between nitrate concentration on the one hand and temperature and light intensity on the other was related to effects on the rate of tillering, which is influenced by the NOgconcentration, but not by the other factors.
Evaluation of PIT-tagging in cyprinids

Laboratory and field experiments were used to investigate how different marking procedures, with 23 mm PIT (passive integrated transponders) – tags, affected mortality, body condition and tag expulsion in small roach Rutilus rutilus and rudd Scardinus erythrophthalmus (117 to 163 mm total length). In a laboratory experiment mortality was low (≤ 6%) and only occurred among fishes that had their incision closed with sutures. The latter also had a specific growth rate that tended to be lower than the fish tagged without sutures. The different marking procedures did not adversely affect the body condition of fishes either in the laboratory experiment (after 37 days) or in the field experiment (up to 369 days). No tag expulsions were observed among laboratory fishes PITtagged without sutures. Marking without the use of sutures to close the incision, appears to be the most appropriate PIT tagging procedure for small cyprinids.
Homicide Offenders With or Without Psychotic Disorder: Post-Traumatic Symptoms, Guilt and Shame, and Coping in the Post-Offence Period

Background: Post offence reactions are a rarely investigated area, and comparison of these reactions in convicted homicide offenders and offenders with serious mental illness (SMI) is without substantial antecedent. Aims: We sought to compare post offence emotions and the applied coping mechanisms in offenders with a diagnosis of a psychotic disorder and those without such a diagnosis. We also explored these areas in regard of the relationship with the victim. Methods: We applied questionnaires to measure general proneness to anxiety and state anxiety after the perpetration of the crime, preferences in coping strategies, crime-related traumatization symptoms and feelings of guilt and shame related to the homicidal act. Results: There were no significant differences found on any of the scales measuring post offensive reactions and coping between the two samples. A marked difference in post offensive reactions in regard to relationship with the victim was found. Conclusions: Our results confirm that committing homicide causes severe anxiety in most perpetrators and substantial part of the offenders report severe symptoms with no significant difference between prisoners and NGRI patients. A marked difference was found in prisoners with more variable post offensive reactions in regard to relationship with the victim.
Adventitious Shoot Regeneration and Flow Cytometry of Cydonia oblonga Mill. (cv. Isfahan)

Modern breeding methods such as genetic transformation or in vitro mutation are valuable tools to improve fruit trees and overcome traditional breeding problems such as long juvenile period, high level of self-incompatibility and heterozygosity which are usually associated with Cydonia oblonga (quince). Adventitious shoot regeneration is the prerequisite step in using modern breeding methods in horticultural crops. The aim of the present investigation was to optimize adventitious shoot regeneration in quince (cv. Isfahan, known as ‘KVD2’). Different explant types (whole leaf, leaf basal section, leaf apical section and petiole), different concentrations of naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) (0, 1, 2 µM) in combination with thidiazuron (TDZ) (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 µM) and two culture media [Nitsch and Nitsch (NN) and Murashige and Skoog (MS)] were compared. To detect genome size changes, ploidy level and 2C DNA amounts of the regenerated shoots and the original plants were measured by flow cytometry. The results indicated the maximum frequency of regeneration (46%) was obtained from the whole leaf explants cultured on NN medium containing 40 µM TDZ and 1 µM NAA. The highest mean number of shoots (7.46) was obtained on MS medium containing 5 µM TDZ and 1 µM NAA. Flow cytometry analysis showed that regenerated shoots and donor shoots both were diploids and their 2C DNA amounts had not changed throughout the regeneration process.
Global strong solutions in Sobolev or Lebesgue spaces to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in R3

We construct global strong solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations with sufficiently oscillating initial data. We will show that the condition is for the norm in some Besov space to be small enough. RESUME. Nous construisons des solutions fortes globales des equations de Navier-Stokes, pour des donnees initiales suffisamment oscillantes. Cette condition se traduit en terme de norme petite dans un certain espace de Besov. INTRODUCTION We are interested in the following system, for x E R3 and t > 0, with initial data ~c(x, 0) _ the sake of simplicity, we suppose that v = 1; a simple rescaling allows us to obtain any other value.

PLANCHON existence and uniqueness in the Sobolev space and the Lebesgue space are known, if s > 1 / 2 and p > 3 (see [4]). We have global solutions for small initial data in L~(R~) (see [9] or [4]) and H! (R3) (see [4] and [5]), or in L~(R~) n with p > 3 (see [1]). We shall extend the results of [4], for s > 1/2 and p > 3. By adapting the auxiliary spaces used in [4], we shall prove the existence and uniqueness of global solutions in provided the initial data are small in a sense which will be made precise later, and in up to additional conditions on uo.

Let us see how homogeneous Besov spaces arise. If we want to construct a global solution, it is useful to control a norm remaining invariant by the If this can be achieved in a Besov space with a 0 and therefore bigger than the usual space where we want to obtain a solution, we will have weaker assumptions on uo.
