Cenchrus (Poaceae) ornamentales en Argentina: ¿De cultivados a invasores?

Introducción y objetivos: La introducción de plantas exóticas para uso ornamental representa un riesgo de invasión para los ecosistemas. Cenchrus advena, C. longisetus y C. setaceus son gramíneas introducidas como ornamentales y altamente cultivadas en el centro-norte de Argentina, aunque se desconoce su estado en el proceso de invasión. En este trabajo se registra la presencia de estas tres especies, se actualiza su taxonomía, nomenclatura y morfología. Además, se presentan mapas de presencia y una clave para diferenciarlas de sus congéneres, tanto nativas como exóticas. Se analiza el estado de invasión y se discuten recomendaciones de manejo. M&amp;M: Se estudiaron ejemplares de herbario, nuevas poblaciones de plantas cultivadas y naturalizadas y se recopiló información de bases de datos digitales de acceso abierto. Resultados: Se encontraron 158 registros de las tres especies distribuidos en 11 provincias, que permitieron citar por primera vez a C. setaceus para la Flora Argentina. Se halló una alta proporción de registros naturalizados de C. setaceus y C. longisetus. Ambas especies presentaron individuos establecidos en ambientes naturales disturbados de Córdoba, iniciando su propagación como invasoras. Cenchrus advena fue únicamente hallada bajo cultivo. Conclusiones: El comportamiento invasor de los pastos C. longisetus y C. setaceus hallado en Córdoba podría estar replicándose en otras provincias debido al elevado nivel de cultivo y a la susceptibilidad ambiental. Por ende, es urgente frenar su cultivo, monitorear las poblaciones naturalizadas e invasoras y reemplazar su cultivo por especies nativas en el marco de objetivos sustentables y reglamentaciones vigentes.

Therapie von Frakturen bei Kindern und Jugendlichen

Although the significant healing potential of bony injuries in the case of fractures during the growth period favours conservative treatment, therapy concepts involving long-term immobilization or even hospitalization have been abandoned as non-child-friendly approaches. This is all the more the case given that surgical treatment of humeral shaft long bone fractures can be treated with a very low complication rate. As part of the sixth main topic of the 33rd Trauma Medicine Conference in Baden-Baden (Germany), the remaining indications for conservative therapy of fractures in children and adolescents were discussed, among other subjects. The present article provides an overview of the relevant lectures and the discussion which followed them.
The antidepressant agomelatine reduces fear long term memory but not acquisition or short term expression of fear memories

Alterations in fear learning processes may be implicated in mood disorders. Fear learning has been investigated with Pavlovian classical fear conditioning paradigms, consisting of pairing a neutral conditioned stimulus (CS), such as a tone, with an aversive unconditioned stimulus (US), such as a footshock. Upon subsequent exposure, the CS is perceived as aversive and provokes a fear response.The novel antidepressant agomelatine acts as a melatonergic receptor agonist and a 5-HT 2C receptor antagonist. Its antidepressant action was demonstrated in preclinical and clinical studies. Agomelatine has also anxiolytic properties. The aim of this study was to determine how acute agomelatine treatment might differentially alter fear circuits by using auditory fear conditioning in the rat.A single pre-training injection of agomelatine (40 mg/kg intraperitoneally) significantly reduced freezing to the fear arousing CS 24 hours after training but not during training or 3 hours after training. This pattern of results is consistent with an effect on the consolidation of the fear memory. A single pre-testing injection of agomelatine had no effect on conditioned fear expression. These effects of agomelatine should be considered in relation to its antidepressant action. Agomelatine achieved a reduction of fear conditioning in a single dose, while classical SSRIs only reduced fear conditioning after chronic treatment. This finding is consistent with clinical studies suggesting a faster onset of action of agomelatine than classical SSRI treatment.
Advanced concepts for aero-structures with integrated antennas and sensors

The overall objective of ACASIAS is to contribute to the reduction of energy consumption of future aircraft by improving aerodynamic performance and by facilitating the integration of novel efficient propulsion systems such as contra-rotating open rotor (CROR) engines.

The aerodynamic performance is improved by the conformal and structural integration of antennas. The installation of CROR engines is facilitated by installation of an Active Structural Acoustic Control (ASAC) system in the fuselage. The integration of such a system in fuselage panels will annoying noise in the cabin caused by multi-harmonic sound pressure level which is radiated by CROR engines. CROR engines are able to realize up to 25% fuel and CO2 savings compared to equivalent-technology turbofan engines (http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19890003194.pdf).

The ACASIAS project focuses on challenges posed by the development of aero- structures with multifunctional capabilities. The following concepts structural concepts are considered:
• A composite stiffened ortho-grid fuselage panel for integrating Ku-band SATCOM antenna tiles.
• A fuselage panel with integrated sensors and wiring for reduction of CROR cabin noise.
• A smart winglet with integrated blade antenna (integrated substrates into special foam, partly covered by a 1 mm glass/quartz epoxy layer).
• A Fibre Metal Laminate GLARE panel with integrated VHF communication slot antenna.

The 36 months action with a project cost of 5.8 MEuros will bring together 11 partners from 6 countries covering the three main disciplines required: (composite) structures, advanced antennas and miniaturized sensors in a multi-disciplinary project. The project innovations facilitated by integration of these disciplines, as well as resulting in operational cost reduction and decreased emissions for airlines, will also lead to a more competitive supply chain in the aviation sector, which increasingly uses composite structures.

DETERMINING THE ANGULAR POSITION BY MEANS OF AN X+1-TOOTH CAMSHAFT SENSOR

The invention relates to a method for determining the angular position of a shaft by means of a sensor (1) comprising a toothed wheel (2) comprising p equally angularly distributed teeth (d1-dp) and one additional tooth (d+) and a sensitive element (3) able to detect a tooth (d1-dp, d+), comprising the following steps: - receipt of a tooth signal and the dating thereof, - offsetting of the preceding time intervals: Tn-3 ← Tn-2, Tn-2 ← Tn-1, Tn-1 ← Tn, - determination of the current time interval using the formula Tn = tn-tn-1, - calculation of a ratio using the formula Rn = (Tn * Tn-3) / (Tn-1 * Tn-2), - comparison of the ratio (Rn) against a threshold (G), and if the ratio (Rn) is above the threshold (G), the current-tooth signal (Sn) corresponds to the second tooth (d2) immediately following the first tooth (d1) itself immediately following the additional tooth (d+).
Nutrient and pesticide remediation using a two-stage bioreactor-adsorptive system under two hydraulic retention times

Nutrients and pesticides in agricultural runoff contribute to the degradation of water resources. Nitrates and phosphates can be remediated through the use of treatment systems such as woodchip bioreactors and adsorbent aggregate filters; however, concerns remain over potential effects of pesticides on nutrient removal efficiency in these systems. To test this, we designed laboratory-scale woodchip bioreactors equipped with secondary adsorbent aggregate filters and investigated the capacity of these systems to remediate nutrients when operated under two hydraulic retention times (HRT) and in the presence of commonly used pesticides. The woodchip bioreactors effectively removed over 99% of nitrate per day when operated under a 72 h hydraulic retention time, with the secondary expanded shale aggregate filters consistently reducing phosphate concentrations by 80-87%. Treatment efficacy of both systems was maintained in the presence of the insecticide chlorpyrifos. Reducing HRT in the bioreactors to 21 min decreased nitrate removal efficiency; however, the insecticides bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos, and the herbicide oxyfluorfen were reduced by 76%, 63%, and 31%, respectively. Cultivation approaches led to the isolation of 45 different species from the woodchip bioreactors operated under a 21 min HRT, with Bacillus species being the most prevalent throughout the treatment. By contrast, pesticide application decreased the number and diversity of Bacillus isolates and enriched for Pseudomonas and Exiguobacterium species. Woodchip bioreactors and adsorbent aggregate filters provide effective treatment platforms to remediate agrochemicals, where they maintain treatment efficacy in the presence of pesticides and can be modulated through HRT management to achieve environmental and operational water quality goals.
Interferometric inspection apparatus

1,024,598. Selective signalling. E. I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS & CO. Aug. 27, 1964 [Aug. 27, 1963], No. 35235/64. Heading G4H. [Also in Divisions G1 and G2] To determine the thickness of a travelling film 10<SP>1</SP> two beams of light reflected from the top and bottom faces of the film are made to constructively interfere by shortening the optical path of one beam by means of a reciprocating mirror 30<SP>1</SP>, the position of the mirror, and hence the instant in its cycle, at which interference takes place indicates the film thickness. The two beams are split by a 45-degree half-silvered mirror 32<SP>1</SP> on to the fixed mirror 311 and moving mirror 30<SP>1</SP>. At the position of the mirror 30<SP>1</SP> which compensates for the additional optical path in the film, light of one beam from the fixed mirror and light of the other beam from the moving mirror constructively interfere and initiate a pulse in the detecting circuit. The instant at which this occurs gives a measure of the thickness of the film. The timing of this interference is based upon a fixed reference pulse created during each cycle of the mirror when light from each beam individually constructively interferes. In the arrangement shown the moving mirror is offset so that the reference interference is not produced. The single pulse per cycle is superimposed upon an oscillator 70 input to a bistable multivibrator 79 and is centred upon it for the nominal thickness of the film, any time deviation by the pulse from the oscillator input indicates a change from the nominal thickness. In another arrangement (Fig. 6A, not shown) the reference pulse and the varying pulse are used to start and stop a clock-driven counter to give a measure of the thickness of the film. Instead of using a clock the counter pulses may be provided by using a source of monochromatic light to give a large number of constructive interferences per cycle of the mirror. In an alternative inferometer (Fig. 5, not shown) the additional optical path is changed by angularly moving the mirror. The main source of light delivers infra-red radiation for a lead sulphide photoresistor. (Refractive index and bi-refringence.may also be measured.)

Sintering regolith with solar light

Future human activity on the lunar surface will use 3D printing to build infrastructure from lunar soil using the Sun as the only source of energy. Today this technology is considered disruptive; tomorrow it will be the standard. The RegoLight project will investigate the sintering process of lunar regolith simulants by means of concentrated sun light in order to prepare for future lunar missions for building infrastructure (leveled terrain, dust shelters, launch pads etc.) and structural components for lunar habitats.
Solar sintering of regolith is currently at TRL3 , being able to build a regolith ‘brick’ in a laboratory set-up with a moving table in a solar furnace. RegoLight aims at enhancing this specific additive layer manufacturing technique –which seems very promising for lunar applications since it does not involve any consumables– by further characterizing the parameters for sintering different types of regolith and by developing a movable printing head capable both of pointing the concentrated solar beam at the required spot and of deploying incrementally additional layers of regolith in order to continue with the additive building process.
Based on the mechanical properties of solar sintered regolith architectural scenarios and applications will be developed, taking into account the benefits of additive layer manufacturing and novel construction concepts for lunar gravity. This detailed Finite Element Modeling will provide a first insight into lunar architectural scenarios using this technology: With a concurrent engineering approach sample structures will be printed having been derived from ‘big picture’ scenarios and bottom up approaches at the same time.
The project objective is the development of a regolith solar sintering device breadboard which will be validated in a relevant environment (TRL5). The parts printed in a thermal vacuum chamber will undergo mechanical properties tests to build a database and FEM analysis for validation of the concepts.
LATCH FOR JOINING TWO PANELS OF AN AIRPLANE STRUCTURE

The invention relates to a latch (1) provided for joining two elements to one another via, on the one hand, a hook (2) capable of coming into contact with a retaining element (18) integrally connected to the first element and, on the other, via a main pin (3) to be attached in a fixed manner to the second element. Said latch has a handle (6) that is mounted so that it can pivot about an end pin (13) and has an articulation having a pair of compression links (4) mounted in a manner that enables them to pivot about the main pin (3) and about an intermediate pin (14). The invention is characterized in that the hook is inserted between the handle and the main pin, and in that at least one compression link (4) is provided with a guiding means (21) capable of coming into contact with the surface of the hook facing the handle during the opening of the latch.
STUTTER BUFFER TRANSFER TECHNIQUES FOR DISPLAY SYSTEMS

Data transfer techniques include transferring display surface data from a memory subsystem into a stutter buffer at a first rate until the stutter buffer is substantially full. The memory interface and/or memory of the memory subsystem may then be placed into a suspend state until the stutter buffer is substantially empty. The display surface data is transferred from the stutter buffer to display logic, at a second rate even when the memory subsystem is in a suspend state. The second rate, which is typically the rendering rate of the display, is substantially slower than the rate at which data is transferred into the stutter buffer.
Unveiling the alcohol-dependent alterations in local dendritic translation of mrnas in the prefrontal cortex during adolescence

During adolescence, the brain undergoes intense maturation, particularly in the frontal areas. The  prefrontal cortex (PFC) is implicated in executive functions, and its immaturity in adolescents is associated with increased impulsivity and heightened vulnerability to deleterious effects of drugs. Alcohol is the most consumed drug among adolescents, and its excessive consumption profoundly impairs PFC function, leading to long-lasting defective behaviors, psychological problems and neurocognitive defects. However, the precise mechanisms underlying alcohol-induced alterations in PFC maturation remain poorly understood. Alcohol addiction is considered being a maladaptive form of learning and memory, as alcohol usurps the molecular mechanisms underlying those processes, such as long-lasting synaptic plasticity. Long-lasting changes in the strength of synaptic connections mainly depend on the local translation of mRNAs at synaptic sites. It has been shown that alcohol modifies synaptic proteins composition by modulating the activity of key translation regulators, such as mTORC1 and eIF2α, in brain regions associated with the mesocorticolimbic pathway. Here, we propose to analyze the alcohol-dependent modifications of the synaptic translatome of specific neuronal populations (glutamatergic neurons and GABAergic interneurons) in the PFC of adolescent male and female mice, by using a multidisciplinary approach combining biochemistry, imaging, electrophysiology and behavioral tests. This project aims to uncover how alcohol modulates local translation of synaptic proteins in the PFC during adolescence, to identify the targeted synaptic mRNAs and analyze their involvement in altered synaptic plasticity underlying alcohol-dependent defective behaviors. In addition, this project aims at identifying the differential sensibility to alcohol’s effects between males and females as well as the differences in behavioral consequences.
Using air thermal time to predict the time course of seedling emergence of &lt;i&gt;Avena sterilis&lt;/i&gt; subsp. &lt;i&gt;sterilis&lt;/i&gt; (sterile oat) under Mediterranean climate

&lt;abstract&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;italic&gt;Avena sterilis&lt;/italic&gt; subsp. &lt;italic&gt;sterilis&lt;/italic&gt; (sterile oat) is a troublesome grass weed of winter cereals both in its native range encompassing the Mediterranean up to South Asia, and in regions of America, Northern Europe and Australia where it is introduced. A better understanding of seedling emergence patterns of this weed in cereal fields can help control at early growth stages benefiting efficacy under a changing climate. With this aim, the objective of this research was to develop and validate a field emergence model for this weed based on cumulative air thermal time (CTT, ℃ day). Experiments for model setting and evaluation were carried out in experimental and commercial fields in southern Spain. Two alternative models, Gompertz and Weibull, were compared for their ability to represent emergence time course. The Weibull model provided the best fit to the data. Evaluation through independent experiments showed good model performance in predicting seedling emergence. According to the developed model, the onset of emergence takes place at 130 CTT, and 50% and 90% emergence is achieved at 448 and 632 CTT, respectively. Results indicate that this model could be useful for growers as a tool for decision-making in &lt;italic&gt;A. sterilis&lt;/italic&gt; control.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/abstract&gt;
