Early marketable yield and better berry skin color of ‘Redglobe’ grapevines cultivar grown under warm climate by application of Sulis®

Coloration of red grapes under high temperature and narrow day/night temperature range conditions is a great challenge. The aim of the investigation was to test the effect of Sulis® fertilizer which has recently commercially released in Egypt on the color of ‘Redglobe’ grapes. In 2018, the treatments were water (control), 1 ml L Sulis®, or 2 ml L Sulis®. ‘Redglobe’ berries were darker red color due to Sulis® treatments, with no different effect between both Sulis® concentration. While, The 2019 treatments were water (control), 150 mg l ABA + 250 mg l Ethephone, 1 ml L Sulis®+ 250 mg l Ethephone, or 1 ml L Sulis®. During both seasons, the treatments gave the same effect on physical berry characteristics. The bunches sprayed with ABA or Sulis® +ethephone were harvested 10 days earlier than those treated with Sulis® alone, and 20 days earlier than the control clusters. The treatments gave higher packable yield percentages at first pick harvest and SSC/TA ratio than the control. L*, a*, b*, C* and h ̊ of berry color traits were decreased due to the treatment applications. Sulis®+ethephone and Sulis® treatments increased the red color index and anthocyanin content in berry skin than the control treatments. Sulis® fertilizers is promising as a coloring agent in grapevines cultivation.
CHARACTERIZATION OF FIBRINOGEN RECEPTORS ASSOCIATED WITH GLTCCPROIEIN IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/GPIIIa) COMPLEX BY TRIGRAMIN, A UNIQUE LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT PEPTIDE PROBE

Trigramin (Mr weight 10 kDa), an acidic, cysteine rich peptide purified into homogeneity from Trimeresurus gramineus snake venom contained a single protein chain with EAGE at the NH2 terminal end. It inhibited platelet aggregation induced by various agents without affecting release reaction. It blocked competitively the binding of 125I-fibrincgen to AEP stimulated and chymotrypsin treated platelets (Ki= 2 × 10−8). 125-I trigramin bound to intact and to AEP stimulated platelets in a saturable manner (approx. 16,000 sites per platelet). However, AEP increased 5 fold, the binding affinity of trigramin to platelets (to Kd = 4 × 10−8M) suggesting that AEP is changing the conformation of receptors associated with GPIIb/GPIIIa complex. The binding of trigramin to thran-basthenic platelets was markedly reduced. The binding to normal platelets was significantly inhibited by EDTA and by monoclonal antibodies directed against GPIIb/GPIIIa complex but not by the antibodies directed against GPIIb or GPIIIa molecules. The binding of 125I-trigramin to AEP-stimulated platelets was inhibited by RGES (IC50 = 125 μM) and by YHHLGGAKOAGDV (C-terminal fragment of fibrinogen gamma chain, IC50 = 250 μM) suggesting that these or similar peptide sequences are required for interactions of various ligands with GPIIb/GPIIIa complex
Adsorption of Chemically Prepared Cocoa Nibs Based Activated Carbon Onto Methylene Blue: Equilibrium and Kinetic Studies

This study was aimed to prepare cocoa nibs based activated carbon (CNAC) via chemical activation for methylene blue (MB) dye adsorption from aqueous solution. The activation process was performed at 500°C under inert condition using K 2 CO 3 as activation agent. The effect of contact time and initial concentration of adsorbate on the adsorption process were examined. Langmuir isotherm model fitted well the adsorption equilibrium data with monolayer adsorption capacity of 64.98 mg/g at 30°C. The adsorption kinetic was found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.
The detection of illicit cryptocurrency mining farms with innovative approaches for the prevention of electricity theft

Illegal use of electricity is very common in cryptocurrency mining farms, as energy bills are the most important component of the cost of cryptocurrency production. In this case, it raises the issue of how to detect illegal cryptocurrency mining. Innovative approaches are needed to identify data centers that illegally mine cryptocurrencies. This study proposes the use of unique noise and/or harmonic features of cryptocurrency generating machines to detect illegal cryptocurrency mining farms. Within the scope of this study, the characteristic harmonics originating from the data centers were determined by performing field tests on the neutral line of the electrical grid. In this study, it has been shown that electricity distribution companies can detect illegal cryptocurrency data centers using potential illegal electricity by monitoring energy quality data. Legal permissions can be obtained easily for detailed examination and detection in cryptocurrency data centers of using illegal electricity. With the proposed innovative approach, the time taken to detect illegal cryptocurrency mining farms using illegal electricity is reduced.
Choreographed Soft Morphologies: exploring new ways of ideating soft architecture through material elasticity

This research aims to contribute to the current field of architectural design by offering evidence of how a collaborative and embodied approach to soft architecture can inform a new physical-digital design process. Current design technologies (e.g. sensors, 3D scanners, procedural modelling software), together with the use of the body as a source for designing a space, offer new methods and tools for designing architecture (Hirschberg, Sayegh, Frühwirth and Zedlacher 2006). However, the potential for experiencing and digitally capturing a soft and elastic material interaction through the body as a dynamic system capable of informing soft architectural design has not yet been widely explored. By using the felt experience as a tool for design, we allow the material to express its qualities when activated by the body, revealing its form instead of it being imposed from outside (DeLanda 2015). Taking an embodied approach used in interaction design and fashion design (Loke and Robertson 2011; Wilde, Vallgårda, and Tomico 2017), this research proposes a hybrid method to explore a textile-body ontology as an entity that has the potential to design a space, along with the use of motion capture technology in an effort to re-connect the experiential (the body) with the architecture (the space). Through a custom-made interface, made of soft and hard materials, we explored the dynamic and spatial qualities of material elasticity through choreographed body movements. The interface acts as a deformable space that can be shaped by the body, producing a collection of form expressions, ranging from subtle surface modifications to more prominent deformations. Such form-giving processes were captured in real time by three Kinect sensors, offering a distinct digital raw material that can be conveniently manipulated and translated into architectural simulations, validating the method as a new way to inform soft architectural design processes. The findings showed that: 1) the direct experience of collaboratively interacting with a soft and elastic interface allows the identification of the dynamic qualities of the material in relation to oneself and others, facilitating an immediate spatial meaning-making process; 2) exploring the design of a soft and elastic space through choreography and motion capture technology contributes to the creation of augmented relational scales across physical and digital realms, proposing a new hybrid design method; 3) the soft and elastic interface becomes a new entity when shaped by the body (textile-body ontology) giving the opportunity for a variety of formal expressions and offering a source of digital raw material for architectural design.
Cavity Catalysis ‒Accelerating Reactions under Vibrational Strong Coupling‒

In conventional catalysis the reactants interact with specific sites of the catalyst in such a way that the reaction barrier is lowered and the reaction rate is accelerated. Here we take a radically different approach to catalysis by strongly coupling the vibrations of the reactants to the vacuum electromagnetic field of a cavity. To demonstrate the possibility of such cavity catalysis, we have studied hydrolysis reactions under strong coupling of the OH stretching mode of water to a Fabry-Pérot (FP) microfluidic cavity mode. This results in an exceptionally large Rabi splitting energy ℏΩR of 92 meV (740 cm−1), indicating the system is in vibrational ultra-strong coupling (V-USC) regime and we have found that it enhances the hydrolysis reaction rate of cyanate ions by 102 times and that of ammonia borane by 104 times. This catalytic ability is shown to depend only upon the cavity tuning and the coupling ratio. Given the vital importance of water for life and human activities, we expect our finding not only offers an unconventional way of controlling chemical reactions by ultra-strong light-matter interactions, but also changes the landscape of chemistry in a fundamental way.
A study on the relationship between electrical transmural heterogeneity and ventricular energetics

In this study, we use cardiovascular simulation to gain new insights on the correlation between electrical heterogeneity and ventricular energetics. Although there are numerous in vivo and in vitro studies on the electrical heterogeneity within the ventricular myocardium, not much attention has been directed to its correlation to cardiovascular mechanics, because of difficulties in simultaneously observing and analyzing multiple spatial scales(the cell, the organ, and the system). We performed simulations with two cardiovascular simulation models, one which uses different myocardial cell models for the epicardial, endocardial, and mid-myocardial cells, and another which uses a homogeneous model throughout the entire myocardium. The epicardial, endocardial, and midmyocardial cell models were created by parametrically tuning a homogenous cell model. From the cardiovascular simulation we obtained pressure-volume loops which were used to calculate cardiovascular energetic efficiency and myocardial contractility. We found that energetic efficiency is higher in the electrically heterogeneous model.
Nanomaterials-Based Electrochemical Sensors for In Vitro and In Vivo Analyses of Neurotransmitters

Neurotransmitters are molecules that transfer chemical signals between neurons to convey messages for any action conducted by the nervous system. All neurotransmitters are medically important; the detection and analysis of these molecules play vital roles in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Among analytical strategies, electrochemical techniques have been identified as simple, inexpensive, and less time-consuming processes. Electrochemical analysis is based on the redox behaviors of neurotransmitters, as well as their metabolites. A variety of electrochemical techniques are available for the detection of biomolecules. However, the development of a sensing platform with high sensitivity and selectivity is challenging, and it has been found to be a bottleneck step in the analysis of neurotransmitters. Nanomaterials-based sensor platforms are fascinating for researchers because of their ability to perform the electrochemical analysis of neurotransmitters due to their improved detection efficacy, and they have been widely reported on for their sensitive detection of epinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, acetylcholine, nitric oxide, and purines. The advancement of electroanalytical technologies and the innovation of functional nanomaterials have been assisting greatly in in vivo and in vitro analyses of neurotransmitters, especially for point-of-care clinical applications. In this review, firstly, we focus on the most commonly employed electrochemical analysis techniques, in conjunction with their working principles and abilities for the detection of neurotransmitters. Subsequently, we concentrate on the fabrication and development of nanomaterials-based electrochemical sensors and their advantages over other detection techniques. Finally, we address the challenges and the future outlook in the development of electrochemical sensors for the efficient detection of neurotransmitters.
Image segmentation algorithm of lung cancer based on neural network model

To explore the application of neural network algorithm model in lung cancer imaging, and provide reference for the application and development of artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm model in lung cancer medical mirroring, so as to promote the development of ANN in this field. Meanwhile, it is hoped that the application of neural network algorithms in medical imaging can improve the survival rate and cure rate of lung cancer. In this study, an ANN algorithm model was selected to establish a lung cancer recognition model. After determining the lung cancer lesion area, the image segmentation algorithm was used to separately display the lung cancer lesion area, and a comparison experiment was designed to verify the accuracy of the model. ANNs were used to identify lung cancer, which can be concluded that the accuracy is 94.6%, the sensitivity is 95.7%, and the specificity is 93.5%. By combining image retrieval methods with lung cancer image segmentation algorithms, the lesion area of lung cancer can be clearly displayed. Therefore, the lung cancer image segmentation algorithm based on the neural network model has good recognition performance. This research can provide reference for the application of neural network algorithm model in the field of cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Sub-molecular details in the STM imaging of 4-nitrophenyl thiolate self-assembled monolayers

SUB-MOLECULAR DETAILS IN THE STM IMAGING OF 4-NITROPHENYL THIOLATE SELF-ASSEMBLED MONOLAYERS Goli Pourmand Advisor: University of Guelph, 2018 Dr. Aziz Houmam Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on solid surfaces and in particular aromatic SAMs, attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their unique electrical properties. Low packing density and irreproducibility are common problems associated with aromatic SAMs. In this study, a wide range of modification conditions were used to achieve high coverage SAMs for two common aromatic precursors, 4-nitrothiophenol and bis(4-nitrophenyl) disulfide. Characterization of the SAMs prepared from 4-nitrothiophenol using a number of techniques including scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) demonstrated the formation of highly packed aromatic SAMs along with observation of distinct superstructures on gold that with further analysis revealed the ability of STM to image sub-molecular details of molecules. SAMs prepared from the disulfide lead to a chemically similar monolayer but revealed a much lower coverage with no superstructures. Our results show that these distinct features are most likely induced by SAM stress and the molecules which are involved in making these structures are in a frozen state allowing for the sub molecular details to be observed by STM.
Effect of Different Levels of Zinc and Sulphur on Morpho-Physiological Parameters of Indian Mustard

Mustrad (Brasica juncea, (L) Czem and cross) is important Rabi oilseed crop which belongs to family “Cruciferae”. India is first position in area and second position in production after China. India is the fourth largest oilseed economy in the world. Oilseed crops hold a sizeable share of the country’s gross cropped area (13%) and contribute around 3% of gross national product and 10% of the value of all agricultural commodities (Anonymous, 2014). The area, production and productivity of rapeseed-mustard is 6.70 and 34.19 million ha, 7.96 and 63.09 million tonnes and 1188 and 1850 kg ha -1 , respectively in India and world during 2013-2014 (Anonymous, 2014).

Adsorption Behaviors of Aqueous Lead Ions by Amine-functionalized Mesoporous Silica SBA-15

The amidoxime mesoporous silica (AO-SBA-15) was prepared as the adsorbent and the effects of acidity, reaction time and initial concentration on the adsorption of lead ion were studied. The results show that AO-SBA-15 has a good adsorption performance for lead ion at pH values in the range of 4~6. The adsorption capacity increases with the increase of the initial lead ion concentration. AO-SBA-15 has higher adsorption capacity for lead ion of about 0.80 mmol·g-1. The adsorption process of lead ion shows that electrostatic and covalent complex have certain effect on the adsorption of lead ion.
The Role of Zn, Sr, Mg and PO4 in the Interaction of Carbonate-Rich Waters with Sulphate Minerals

The mechanism of transformation when one mineral phase reacts to form another (e.g. gypsum to calcite), in the presence of a fluid phase, is controlled by dissolution and precipitation processes (Schott et al. 2009, Putnis 2009). Sulphate deposits are abundant on Earth and even on Mars, and in many cases the interactions between sulphate minerals and carbonate-bearing groundwaters leads to the formation of carbonate deposits (Sanz-Rubio et al. 2001).

Effect of leaf removal and ripening stage on the content of quercetin glycosides in Sangiovese grapes

Quercetin haze has been observed over the last few years in some aged Sangiovese wines. This problem could be due to an excess of the quercetin in the wine. Leaf removal increases the exposition of clusters to sunlight, which may enhance flavonol synthesis in the grapes. In this study, we evaluated the dynamics related to extractable flavonols in grapes grown in three usually defoliated Vitis vinifera (L.) cv. Sangiovese vineyards, whose wines showed quercetin precipitates. The particular structure of the vineyards in which the leaf removal experiments were carried out allowed the influence of vineyard, biotype and rootstock on grape flavonol contents at mid-maturation and technological maturity to be evaluated. The leaves were removed at pre-flowering (early) and at veraison (late). Leaf removal increased the content of extractable glycosidic flavonols in grapes at the two tested ripening stages. In addition, vineyard, biotype and rootstock affected the content of glycosidic flavonols and the interaction between the studied variables was significant. Even though leaf removal induced an increase in extractable quercetin glycosides which can increase the risk of quercetin haze in wine, an examination of the scientific literature on this topic showed that this risk does not depend on the absolute content of these compounds alone.
Synthesis, characterization, and pharmacological evaluation of the proton transfer salts of 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives with 5-sulfosalicylic acid and their Cu(II) complexes

Abstract Two proton transfer compounds, formed between 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives (2-aminobenzothiazole (abt) and 2-amino-6-ethoxybenzothiazole (EtOabt)) and 5-sulfosalicylic acid dihydrate (H3ssa) as parent compounds, (Habt)+(H2ssa)− (1) and (HEtOabt)+(H2ssa)− (2) and their Cu(II) complexes (3 and 4, respectively) have been prepared and characterized using spectroscopic techniques. The single crystal X-ray diffraction method has been also applied to 3 and 4. Although 3 has a distorted octahedral form, 4 exhibits a distorted square pyramidal geometry. All compounds, including saline and diclofenac sodium as standards, have been evaluated pharmacologically for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities in rats and mice. Parent compounds (abt, EtOabt, and H3ssa) 3 and 4 show significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities as compared with control compounds. Graphical Abstract

L'Union monétaire européenne : une revue de la littérature théorique

Résumé Cet article traite les grands thèmes de l'Union monétaire européenne : les zones monétaires optimales, la Banque centrale et la politique budgétaire européenne. Chacun de ces thèmes est sujet à controverse dans la littérature théorique. Peut-on, par exemple, caractériser l'Europe comme une zone monétaire optimale ? De plus, si les pays membres du Système monétaire européen ont pu bénéficier de gains de crédibilité, cela ne se reproduira pas nécessairement dans l'Union monétaire. Enfin, il y a de nombreux arguments à la fois pour et contre la coordination des politiques budgétaires en Europe.
Clinical Evaluation of Platform Switching Implant Abutments Restored by Two Metal Free Restorations (IN VIVO STUDY).

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of two abutment materials with two different types of superstructure metal-free restorations on platform switched implant. Subjects and Methods: Twenty human patients with a missing maxillary central incisor were selected for implant placement and divided randomly into two groups according to abutment type; Titanium abutment and PEEK abutment (n= 10 each). Each group was subdivided into two subgroups according to type of superstructure crown (PEEK and VITA ENAMIC crowns, n=5). All groups were evaluated clinically through measuring implant stability, determining screw loosening and color stability at base line, 3, 6 and 12 months. Results: regarding implant stability, there was no significant difference between the four subgroups, Ti PEEK, Ti VIT, PEEK PEEK and PEEK VIT (73.40 ± 3.44, 73.80±2.17, 76.0±1.87, 73.40 ± 2.30). There was no screw loosening of all tested groups. PEEK VIT group showed the highest color change among all groups but the change is not significant. Conclusion: PEEK abutment with PEEK crown gives better results, however, implant stability is comparable with other groups. No screw loosening occurred in all groups. Color stability was better when a titanium abutment was used, however the difference between all groups was non-significant. VITA ENAMIC crowns with PEEK abutments showed the highest color change, still the difference was not significant.
