Spatiotemporal Variations of Landscape Ecological Risks in a Resource-Based City under Transformation

The development of traditional resource-based cities requires drastic changes owing to the exhaustion of resources. During this transformation, the ecological environment of resource-based cities is threatened because of resource exploitation, in addition to the ecological risks caused by urban expansion. However, there is currently a lack of research on the evolution of ecological dangers in cities during this transformational period. Therefore, conducting relevant studies is essential to establishing a mechanism to mitigate these dangers. The present study analyzed Xuzhou, a typical resource-based city in China, as a case study. The main objective was to consider the dynamic changes in land use and ecological risks during the transformation of this resource-based city. The land-use changes in Xuzhou in 2000, 2010, and 2020 were analyzed, using the Markov model and landscape-pattern indices, allowing an ecological risk-assessment model of land-use changes to be constructed. Additionally, the spatial heterogeneity of ecological risks was evaluated by using spatial autocorrelation. The results showed that urban expansion influenced land use in Xuzhou significantly. Owing to the rapid urban expansion, the area of extremely high-risk regions increased significantly in 2010. Furthermore, the subsidence areas caused by mining had profound impacts on the region’s ecology, and early interventions for ecological restoration are needed to prevent further deterioration. During the transformation, Xuzhou’s overall ecological risks reduced gradually, which was conducive to its transition into an ecological city.
Using osteological measurements to estimate body length in Amazonian manatees

ABSTRACT Body length is an important parameter in morphological, ecological and behavioral studies of a species and contributes to the understanding of the body condition of individuals. This parameter is essential for conservation and management strategies by informing studies evaluating growth rates, physical maturity and classification of individuals into age groups, promoting better accuracy for the biological parameters of the species. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of body length for Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis) using metric characters of osteological materials. Eleven linear measurements of skull, jaw, scapulae and humeri were collected from 41 Amazonian manatee skeletons of different age classes (calf, juvenile and adult). Data were analyzed by simple linear regression. The condylobasal length was the best predictor of body length for the species (R = 0.943), however, all bones evaluated showed at least one measurement with the capacity to predict body size (R2 > 0.9). Results of this study are useful for inferring body length of Amazonian manatees using bones deposited in museums and biological collections, expanding the informative potential of these materials.
Understanding flavin electronic structure and spectra

Flavins have emerged as central to electron bifurcation, signaling, and countless enzymatic reactions. In bifurcation, two electrons acquired as a pair are separated in coupled transfers wherein the energy of both is concentrated on one of the two. This enables organisms to drive demanding reactions based on abundant low‐grade chemical fuel. To enable incorporation of this and other flavin capabilities into designed materials and devices, it is essential to understand fundamental principles of flavin electronic structure that make flavins so reactive and tunable by interactions with protein. Emerging computational tools can now replicate spectra of flavins and are gaining capacity to explain reactivity at atomistic resolution, based on electronic structures. Such fundamental understanding can moreover be transferrable to other chemical systems. A variety of computational innovations have been critical in reproducing experimental properties of flavins including their electronic spectra, vibrational signatures, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts. A computational toolbox for understanding flavin reactivity moreover must be able to treat all five oxidation and protonation states, in addition to excited states that participate in flavoprotein's light‐driven reactions. Therefore, we compare emerging hybrid strategies and their successes in replicating effects of hydrogen bonding, the surrounding dielectric, and local electrostatics. These contribute to the protein's ability to modulate flavin reactivity, so we conclude with a survey of methods for incorporating the effects of the protein residues explicitly, as well as local dynamics. Computation is poised to elucidate the factors that affect a bound flavin's ability to mediate stunningly diverse reactions, and make life possible.
Dietary Fibre and Energy Consumption as Predictors of Anthropometric Parameters in a Youthful Male Population: A Cross-sectional Study in Sissala East

Background: Despite the significant role of fiber and energy consumption in the development of overweight and obesity, associations between these dietary measures and the prevalence of obesity in Ghana are lacking. Hence, the objective of the survey was to determine a relationship between fiber and energy and the odds of obesity among a young male population from Sissala East Municipal. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted using a randomly recruited 406 young male population (aged 20–29 years) in Sissala Municipality. Data were collected in November and December 2020. Dietary fiber and energy were obtained from the West African Food composition tables. Quantities of food consumed were assessed by using a 24-hour dietary recall approach. The proxies for general obesity and abdominal obesity were body mass index and waist circumference, respectively. Before data collection, permission was sought from the Municipal Health Directorate, and traditional heads in the communities. Results: In the unadjusted binary logistic regression models, the odds of general and abdominal obesity were significantly lower in the higher quartiles of dietary fiber, compared with quartile-one. Similarly, in the adjusted model, in which the effects of age, household size of the respondent, education, occupation, and marital were adjusted, there was still a significant inverse relationship between dietary fiber and the odds of general and abdominal obesity. Conversely, there was a significant positive association between dietary energy intake and the odds of general and abdominal obesity in both the unadjusted and adjusted models. Conclusion: From the findings, dietary fiber and energy were inversely and positively related to obesity [both general and abdominal], respectively. The intake of fiber rich diets might be beneficial for the prevention of obesity and ought to be promoted by the nutrition and health authorities.

This study compares bankruptcy predictions between large, medium and small banks based on its market capitalization on the emerging stock market namely Indonesia Stock Exchange. The research data was obtained from financial reports between 2010-2018 from the sample banks. The results indicate that there are differences in bankruptcy predictions between large small banks and between medium and small banks. But there is no difference in bankruptcy predictions between large and medium banks. Furthermore, the results show that small banks have the smallest average bankruptcy predictions and large banks have the largest average bankruptcy predictions.
Influence of the lanthanide(III) ion in {[Cu3Ln2(oda)6(H2O)6]·nH2O}n (LnIII: La, Gd, Yb) catalysts on the heterogeneous oxidation of olefins

{[Cu3Ln2(oda)6(H2O)6]·nH2O}n (LnIII: La, Gd, Yb; odaH2: oxydiacetic acid) are reported as reusable heterogeneous catalysts in the oxidation of olefins. An influence of the LnIII ion on the catalytic performance of the series is observed, where the YbIII based framework presents a larger activity. The mentioned heteronuclear species are catalytically more active than the corresponding homonuclear catalyst {[Cu(oda)2]·0.5H2O}n. The use of t-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant gave conversions between 73–63% for styrene oxidation and between 57–48% for cyclohexene in dichloroethane/water (DCE/H2O). In four cycles, the loss of catalytic activity was less than 10%. Experimental data permit the consideration of the redox active CuII centres as the initiators of radical species generated from TBHP, which are responsible for the oxidation process of the studied olefins. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of the reaction solutions, obtained in the presence of the spin trap PBN (N-tert-butyl-α-phenylnitrone), corroborate radical species formation during the oxidation process. DFT calculations support an electronic influence of the LnIII ions on the reactivity of the CuII centre, associated with changes in the stabilization of the empty CuII 3dx2−y2 orbital, affecting the reduction of CuII with TBHP to CuI. Model calculations employing several density functionals support a higher electron affinity in the CuGdMOF system in comparison to CuLaMOF. In this way, electronic structure calculations agree with the interesting observed trend of the influence of the secondary metal centre (LnIII ions) on the properties of the active centre (CuII).
Sliding Mode Observer-based Control of Teleoperation System With Uncertain Dynamics and Kinematics

This paper concentrates on the control issue of nonlinear teleoperators in the presence of uncertain dynamics and kinematics. An observer-based control framework is introduced to compensate for the unfavorable effects arising from the uncertainties. The employment of the proposed sliding mode observers provide control system with the ability of finite-time estimation errors convergence, upon which, it is demonstrated that the bilateral teleoperators are stable and both of position and velocity tracking can be achieved with uncertain dynamics in joint space. Due to the practical requirement of driving the end-effectors to perform specific tasks, the control law which can ensure position coordination with uncertain dynamics and kinematics in task space is subsequently developed. The Lyapunov method is applied to demonstrate the stability of the closed-loop system. Simulation results are provided to testify the performance of the suggested algorithm.

The drone used was equipped with an RTK module that receives real-time corrections, thus maintaining a high accuracy.
Relationship between Indoor High Frequency Size Distribution of Ultrafine Particles and Their Metrics in a University Site

Exposure to ultrafine particles (UFPs size < 100 nm) in life and work environments can contribute to adverse health effects also in terms of health burden of related diseases over time. The choice of parameters which better characterize UFPs is challenging, due to their physical-chemical properties and their variable size. It is also strictly related to the availability of different instrumental techniques. In the present study we focus on real time high frequency (1 Hz) UFPs particle size distribution (PSD) and their relationship with total particle number concentration (TPNC) and mean particle diameter (Davg) as a contribution characterizing by size the human exposure to UFPs in an indoor site of the University of Rome “Sapienza” (Italy). Further considerations about UFPs contribution to nucleation mode (NM) and accumulation mode (AM) have been highlighted, also in order to investigate the contribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) surface-adsorbed on indoor air particles (pPAHs). High indoor TPNC values were registered during the rush hours (early morning and mid/late afternoon) according to the outdoor influences originated from anthropogenic activities. AM mainly contribute to the indoor TPNC during working days showing high correlation with pPAHs. These findings may provide useful indications in terms of occupational exposure to UFPs since there are many evidences that indoor exposures to such pollutants may be associated with adverse health effects also in working environments.
Multiobjective Ant Lion Approaches Applied to Electromagnetic Device Optimization

Nature-inspired metaheuristics of the swarm intelligence field are a powerful approach to solve electromagnetic optimization problems. Ant lion optimizer (ALO) is a nature-inspired stochastic metaheuristic that mimics the hunting behavior of ant lions using steps of random walk of ants, building traps, entrapment of ants in traps, catching preys, and re-building traps. To extend the classical single-objective ALO, this paper proposes four multiobjective ALO (MOALO) approaches using crowding distance, dominance concept for selecting the elite, and tournament selection mechanism with different schemes to select the leader. Numerical results from a multiobjective constrained brushless direct current (DC) motor design problem show that some MOALO approaches present promising performance in terms of Pareto-optimal solutions.

Revisiting the nodal voltage method for both human comprehension and software implementation: Towards a teaching/self‐learning simulation tool

This paper outlines an application—dubbed U=RIsolve (read as “you resolve”)—for helping students to learn the Nodal (or Node) Voltage Analysis method (NVM, for short) for electrical circuit analysis. The NVM enables determining the voltage in every Node in the circuit, related to a reference (Ground) Node. In turn, this enables to compute the current in every Branch (and therefore, the voltage across every component). The U = RIsolve application goes far beyond the capabilities of traditional circuit simulators; as it outputs the fundamental circuit information, the methodology, the equations, and the results related to the NVM for a given circuit previously simulated in Quite Universal Circuit Simulator (QUCS). QUCS can generate a text file (called netlist) that identifies all the circuit components/connections and that serves as an input to the U = RIsolve application. Additionally, users can also upload the circuit schematics to facilitate the analysis of the U = RIsolve output. Then, the user just needs to click a button to get all the reasoning of the NVM analysis.

Performance Comparison of Surface Waterproofing Products with Various Chemical Compositions on Brick Masonry

Moisture risk in building systems is one of the major concerns affecting the durability of building envelopes and indoor comfort. Surface waterproofing products are a common and simple methods to enhance the moisture performance of masonry buildings. However, the various chemical compositions of these products can lead to very different performance under exposure. This paper focus on the comparison and discussion of the different level of impact of surface waterproofing products with various chemical compositions on the performance of brick masonry substrate through a series of benchtests on small scale specimens to test water vapour transmission, hydrophobicity and liquid water absorption. Four different types of waterproofing products were selected, along with 3 brick types common in the 50s and 60s to be representative of the majority of the UK building stock. Results show that the combined outcome of the three tests is sufficient to identify the clearly the effectiveness of the products in improving waterproofing while ensuring vapour transmission. It also shows that it is essential to use specimens reproducing the masonry fabric rather than samples of the individual materials.

Phenotypic Characterization and Differential Gene Expression Analysis Reveal That Dwarf Mutant dwf Dwarfism Is Associated with Gibberellin in Eggplant

Dwarfism is a desirable trait in eggplant breeding, as it confers higher lodging resistance and allows simplified management and harvest. However, a few dwarf mutants have been reported, and the molecular mechanism underlying dwarfism in eggplant is completely unknown. Here, we report a dwarf mutant (dwf) isolated from an ethyl methyl sulfonate (EMS)-induced mutant library. The hypocotyl length, plant height, and length of internode cells of dwf were significantly decreased compared to those of the wild-type parent ‘14-345’ (WT). Differential gene expression analysis revealed that GA-related genes, including GA2ox and DELLA, were up-regulated whereas the gibberellin (GA3) content decreased in dwf. Moreover, exogenous GA3 treatment significantly increased the relative growth rate of dwf compared to WT, further indicating the important roles of GA in regulating the dwarf phenotype of dwf. Collectively, our findings shed light on GA-mediated dwarfism in dwf plants and offer a good germplasm that could be used for eggplant dwarfism breeding in the future.

A new method for maximum power extraction using a singular perturbation theory for a PMSG‐based wind turbine

This study uses the singular perturbation theory to obtain a reduced‐order subsystem for a wind‐energy conversion system (WECS) based on use of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) to extract maximum power from a WECS. The system consists of a variable‐speed wind turbine directly coupled to a PMSG, a diode bridge rectifier, a DC‐to‐DC boost converter, and a battery bank. Singular perturbation theory is used to decompose the dynamic system into slow and fast time scales. The optimal controller is then designed for singular and original systems and applied to the original system to achieve maximum power from a PMSG. Simulations using MatLab/Simulink show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy for a PMSG based on the singular perturbation theory. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 36: 586–594, 2017
