PFPD_MCA: A Multiconductor Power Flow

In this paper, the multiconductor extension of the previously developed three-phase power flow algorithm (named PFPD_3P) is presented. This multiconductor formulation has a general validity for both distribution and transmission networks. An iterative matrix formulation for the solution is throughout expounded. The present method allows computing the electrical quantities of all the network conductors: the active conductors and the passive ones (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$i$ </tex-math></inline-formula>. <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$e$ </tex-math></inline-formula>., OHL ground wires, IC metallic screens/armours, and GIL enclosures). These electrical quantities can be evaluated both at the network busbars and also along the lines. The knowledge of these quantities can be useful to perform: safety evaluations, power quality and electromagnetic compatibility studies. The electrical substations are carefully modelled, by considering the links between the passive conductors of different busbars and the earthing resistance of the meshed earth electrode. The algorithm is implemented in Matlab environment and tested by several fictitious networks. Eventually, in order to confirm the approach accuracy, the multiconductor results are compared with the equivalent single-phase ones and the three-phase power flow commercial software DIgSILENT PowerFactory.

Migratory birds are the source of highly toxic organic pollutants for indigenous people in the Russian Arctic

Polychlorinated biphenyls are highly toxic organic contaminants. Due to their chemical properties they had wide application in industry and agriculture in the 20th century. In 2001 the production of PCBs has been prohibited almost worldwide. Environmental contamination has been found in soils, water, and air where there were PCB production sites. They have been detected in fish, birds and animals of migratory species, retaining transboarding transfer. Several migratory species of birds (Taiga bean goose, greater white-fronted goose, lesser white fronted goose and barnacle goose) are a diet for indigenous people. PCBs accumulating in the human body affect all systems and organs. This article reviews the contribution of migratory bird species in transboarding transfer of highly toxic contaminants in the Nenets Autonomous Area, Kolguev island (Russian Arctic).
Urban Farming Activities in Southeast Asia: A Review and Future Research Direction

The activities of urban farming in Southeast are still limited and scattered. In order to give valuable insights into the urban agriculture of Southeast Asia and to support researchers, we need to know in details the available options and gaps in this research direction that will serve future researchers. Thus, in this study, a review is conducted to map the research landscape into a coherent taxonomy. The research procedure focuses on all these subject matters related to urban farming system activities, technology application and their use in the urban farms and smallholder farming activities in Southeast Asia. These studies selected from the three major digital databases, namely, the ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Scopus. The study selection process consists of research into literature sources, followed by three iterations of screening and filtering, excluded duplicate articles, screening the titles and abstracts and reading of the full-text articles. The final included result is 88 articles, which will be adopted on in this study. Further, a review in details of the layout of the research landscape of literature is conducted into a cohesive classification with its descriptive analysis. We also identify the essential characteristics of this emerging field in the following aspects: benefits of using urban farming activities in Southeast Asia, challenges hindering utilization, and recommendations to improve the acceptance and use of urban farming applications in literature.
New strategies for row-crop management based on cost-effective remote sensors

Agricultural technology can be an excellent antidote to resource scarcity. Its growth has led to the extensive study of spatial and temporal in-field variability. The challenge of accurate management has been addressed in recent years through the use of accurate high-cost measurement instruments by researchers. However, low rates of technological adoption by farmers motivate the development of alternative technologies based on affordable sensors, in order to improve the sustainability of agricultural biosystems. This doctoral thesis has as main objective the development and evaluation of systems based on affordable sensors, in order to address two of the main aspects affecting the producers: the need of an accurate plant water status characterization to perform a proper irrigation management and the precise weed control. To address the first objective, two data acquisition methodologies based on aerial platforms have been developed, seeking to compare the use of infrared thermometry and thermal imaging to determine the water status of two most relevant row-crops in the region, sugar beet and super high-density olive orchards. From the data obtained, the use of an airborne low-cost infrared sensor to determine the canopy temperature has been validated. Also the reliability of sugar beet canopy temperature as an indicator its of water status has been confirmed. The empirical development of the Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI) has also been carried out from aerial thermal imaging combined with infrared temperature sensors and ground measurements of factors such as water potential or stomatal conductance, validating its usefulness as an indicator of water status in super high-density olive orchards. To contribute to the development of precise weed control systems, a system for detecting tomato plants and measuring the space between them has been developed, aiming to perform intra-row treatments in a localized and precise way. To this end, low cost optical sensors have been used and compared with a commercial LiDAR laser scanner. Correct detection results close to 95% show that the implementation of these sensors can lead to promising advances in the automation of weed control. The micro-level field data collected from the evaluated affordable sensors can help farmers to target operations precisely before plant stress sets in or weeds infestation occurs, paving the path to increase the adoption of Precision Agriculture techniques.
Evolution of Endogenous Retroviruses in the Subfamily of Caprinae

The interest in endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) has been fueled by their impact on the evolution of the host genome. In this study, we used multiple pipelines to conduct a de novo exploration and annotation of ERVs in 13 species of the Caprinae subfamily. Through analyses of sequence identity, structural organization, and phylogeny, we defined 28 ERV groups within Caprinae, including 19 gamma retrovirus groups and 9 beta retrovirus groups. Notably, we identified four recent and potentially active groups prevalent in the Caprinae genomes. Additionally, our investigation revealed that most long noncoding genes (lncRNA) and protein-coding genes (PC) contain ERV-derived sequences. Specifically, we observed that ERV-derived sequences were present in approximately 75% of protein-coding genes and 81% of lncRNA genes in sheep. Similarly, in goats, ERV-derived sequences were found in approximately 74% of protein-coding genes and 75% of lncRNA genes. Our findings lead to the conclusion that the majority of ERVs in the Caprinae genomes can be categorized as fossils, representing remnants of past retroviral infections that have become permanently integrated into the genomes. Nevertheless, the identification of the Cap_ERV_20, Cap_ERV_21, Cap_ERV_24, and Cap_ERV_25 groups indicates the presence of relatively recent and potentially active ERVs in these genomes. These particular groups may contribute to the ongoing evolution of the Caprinae genome. The identification of putatively active ERVs in the Caprinae genomes raises the possibility of harnessing them for future genetic marker development.
Methane yield from cattle, sheep, and goats housing with emphasis on emission factors: a review.

Global methane (CH4) concentrations are increasing in all parts of the world. This review study intends to provide an integrative approach to the complex relationships between environmental systems of farm animals. It reveals that more data are needed to better quantify CH4 emissions from farms. Methanogenic microbial functional groups play an important role in total methane flux from agroecosystems. The factors that regulate the activity of these organisms (temperature, diet composition, feeding technique, manure management) have been documented. The research based on the literature available presented was conducted under extensive and intensive management conditions. In principle, the approaches discussed can be applied to any dairy, beef or sheep production system because their aim is increasing productivity at the herd level. Recent studies on the effects of environmental temperature, feeding, internal and genetic factors, and emission from excrements on CH4 production are discussed. Finally, emission factors for dairy and beef cattle, as well as goats and sheep, are listed in tables.
Quasi-Static Modeling Framework for Soft Bellow-Based Biomimetic Actuators

Soft robots that incorporate elastomeric matrices and flexible materials have gained attention for their unique capabilities, surpassing those of rigid robots, with increased degrees of freedom and movement. Research has highlighted the adaptability, agility, and sensitivity of soft robotic actuators in various applications, including industrial grippers, locomotive robots, wearable assistive devices, and more. It has been demonstrated that bellow-shaped actuators exhibit greater efficiency compared to uniformly shaped fiber-reinforced actuators as they require less input pressure to achieve a comparable range of motion (ROM). Nevertheless, the mathematical quantification of the performance of bellow-based soft fluidic actuators is not well established due to their inherent non-uniform and complex structure, particularly when compared to fiber-reinforced actuators. Furthermore, the design of bellow dimensions is mostly based on intuition without standardized guidance and criteria. This article presents a comprehensive description of the quasi-static analytical modeling process used to analyze bellow-based soft actuators with linear extension. The results of the models are validated through finite element method (FEM) simulations and experimental testing, considering elongation in free space under fluidic pressurization. This study facilitates the determination of optimal geometrical parameters for bellow-based actuators, allowing for effective biomimetic robot design optimization and performance prediction.
Enhanced Saliency Detection for 3D Multimedia Images

Saliency detection is believed to be an important precursor for a vast number of multimedia processing applications. During the past decades, even though several saliency detection models have been introduced for many multimedia processing applications, there is a great need for an efficient saliency detection model for a vast number of new applications of stereoscopic display emerging at present. Besides 2D saliency detection methods, depth feature is also considered to detect saliency in stereoscopic images. This paper presents an enhanced saliency detection framework for stereoscopic images, depending on the feature contrast of luminance, color, texture and depth, which in turn are extracted from discrete cosine transform coefficients for the purpose of feature contrast calculation. Here, in order to consider the calculation of local and global contrast, a Gaussian model of spatial distance between image patches is adopted. In addition, this paper newly incorporates Hidden Markov model to improve the efficiency by mainly detecting the most salient regions in stereoscopic images. Later to obtain the resultant saliency map, the feature maps are combined in a unique fusion method and the two vital characteristics of human visual system that are center bias factor and human visual acuity, are adopted to enhance the resultant saliency map. This enhanced method based on the Hidden Markov model, exhibits better performance compared to the other methods implemented in existing studies.
Exotic species, rather than low flow, negatively affect native fish in the Oglio River, Northern Italy

Rivers worldwide are impacted by human activities such as habitat degradation, habitat fragmentation, waterway flow regulation, and introduction of exotic species, which are responsible for the reduction or the disappearance of native species in many parts of the world. The Oglio River, a tributary of the Po River in Northern Italy, is a good example of a river with a long history of human alteration and where exotic invasions are present. We used data on water parameters and fish communities along the watercourse to investigate whether low flow conditions, degraded water quality, abundant exotic species, and the presence of migration barriers could be a disadvantage for native species. We used ordination methods (redundancy analysis), variance partitioning analysis, and the threshold indicator taxa analysis to explore changes in community composition and ecofunctional traits along an altitude gradient. We found that exotic species affected native ones more than water quality and hydromorphological parameters. Native species were most abundant in the upper reach of the Oglio River, despite low flow and shallow depth. Moreover, rheophilic and clear water native fish decreased rapidly in the lower reach of the river, where exotic species increased. This distribution could be explained by the presence of barriers in the middle reach, which block exotic species migrating upstream from the highly invaded Po River, and by a lower suitability of the upper reach for some exotic species. Our results provide a general description of the fish fauna of a strongly regulated river and can contribute to develop more effective fish and water management practices.
The rapidly progressing and fatal outcome of rhombencephalitis by listeriosis in a 61-year-old male

Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive facultative anaerobic bacterium that is ubiquitous in the environment and can cause severe infections in immunocompromised individuals, pregnant women, and newborns. Listeriosis can manifest as meningitis, encephalitis, or sepsis, and its diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. The case is reported of a rare presentation of rhombencephalitis by listeriosis in a 61-year-old male who initially suffered from subacute gastric disturbances and fever. Neurological consultation showed abnormal functions of cranial nerves and meningeal signs were observed. MRI revealed a poorly demarcated focus of approximately 45 × 16 × 15mm, indicating possible inflammatory processes, necessitating a lumbar puncture. Assessment of the CSF indicated infection with the bacterium-Listeria Monocytogenes, with the final diagnosis of Listeriosis encephalitis. Despite antibiotic therapy of Ceftazidine and Ampicillin, the patient’s condition deteriorated, followed by death.
Smart coatings for corrosion protection: an overview

This chapter reviews the use of smart coatings for corrosion protection. Smart coatings are coatings that respond to the environment. In general this response requires a trigger from the external environment. Triggers include the presence of moisture, pH, chloride ion concentration, mechanical damage, temperature and redox activity. Diverse methods of self-repair are outlined as are a variety of ways of holding and releasing corrosion inhibitors. Differing methods of sensing in coatings both using responsive molecules and nano-sensors are outlined. Lastly, the current and future needs for smart coatings are discussed.
Oxy-Inflammation in Humans during Underwater Activities

Underwater activities are characterized by an imbalance between reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS) and antioxidant mechanisms, which can be associated with an inflammatory response, depending on O2 availability. This review explores the oxidative stress mechanisms and related inflammation status (Oxy-Inflammation) in underwater activities such as breath-hold (BH) diving, Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA) and Closed-Circuit Rebreather (CCR) diving, and saturation diving. Divers are exposed to hypoxic and hyperoxic conditions, amplified by environmental conditions, hyperbaric pressure, cold water, different types of breathing gases, and air/non-air mixtures. The “diving response”, including physiological adaptation, cardiovascular stress, increased arterial blood pressure, peripheral vasoconstriction, altered blood gas values, and risk of bubble formation during decompression, are reported.
Phosphorus Fluxes from Three Coastal Watersheds under Varied Agriculture Intensities to the Northern Gulf of Mexico

This study aims to evaluate recent total phosphorus (TP) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) transport from three coastal rivers—the Calcasieu, Mermentau, and Vermilion Rivers—that drain watersheds with varied agriculture intensities (21%, 67%, and 61%, respectively) into the northern Gulf of Mexico, one of the world’s largest summer hypoxic zones. The study also examined the spatial trends of TP and DIP from freshwater to saltwater along an 88-km estuarine reach with salinity increasing from 0.02 to 29.50. The results showed that from 1990–2009 to 2010–2017, the TP fluxes for one of the agriculture-intensive rivers increased while no significant change was found for the other two rivers. Change in river discharge was the main reason for this TP flux trend. The two more agriculture-intensive river basins showed consistently higher TP and DIP concentrations and fluxes, as well as higher DIP:TP ratios than the river draining less agriculture-intensive land, confirming the strong effect of land uses on phosphorus input and speciation. Longitudinal profiles of DIP along the salinity gradient of the estuarine reach displayed characteristic input behavior. Desorption of DIP from suspended solids and river bed sediments, urban inputs, as well as stronger calcium carbonate and phosphorus co-precipitation at the marine endmember could be the reasons for such mixing dynamics.
