Women at the cutting edge. assessing the gendered impact of industrial logging on well-being in solomon islands.

Women are often negatively affected by industrial logging in tropical forests. They are excluded from decision-making, and are vulnerable to the sexual exploitation, alcoholism and conflict associated with this extractive industry. However, the scientific literature on the impacts of logging on women’s well-being is fragmented, and the subject receives little attention from policy and industry. This project aims to address this gap by: 1) publishing 3 peer-reviewed articles in high-impact, open-access journals on the gendered impacts of logging in Solomon Islands, based on an innovative combination of ethnographic and quantitative research methods; 2) compiling case studies on women in logging concessions in a special issue of the journal of the European Tropical Forest Research Network; 3) developing a methodological toolkit for the systematic assessment of women’s well-being in forest concessions. The project results will be further communicated to professional and lay-audiences through oral presentations, policy briefs, newsletters, a website and on-line articles.

This research and training project will consist of an 18-month secondment period at the CGIAR-Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR, Indonesia), and a 12-month return phase at the Institute for Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology of Leiden University (CAOS-LU, The Netherlands). As part of the Global Fellowship the applicant will undergo thorough training in the field of gender analysis in forest management through the CGIAR Gender Research and Integrated Training Sessions at the PennState College of Agricultural Sciences. She will further acquire science communication skills through CIFORs outreach office. These training components, combined with the experience of mobility and the scientific and non-scientific outputs generated by the project, will prepare the applicant for her five-year career goal, which is to become associate professor at her home institution (CAOS-LU).
Biological assessment ofEncarsia citrina(Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) a parasitoid of euonymus scaleUnaspis euonymi(Hemiptera: Diaspididae)

Laboratory studies were conducted to assess 1) the ovipositional preference of Encarsia citrina for host’s age by exposing it to 5–20-day-old scales 2) the effect of temperature (17.5, 20, 25, and 28 °C) and parasitoid density (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 females/30 2nd instar) on host foraging efficiency of E. citrina. E. citrina significantly preferred 10-day-old scales with the highest emergence rate. Temperature had significant effect on the searching efficiency of E. citrina over the range of 17.5–28 °C. The highest rate of search was obtained at 20 °C. Although the increase in parasitoid density at 20 °C reduced the progeny production in E. citrina, due to the increase of mutual interference, it was able to distribute its progenies among the hosts more regularly. The highest values of killing power (k-value) were also obtained at 20 °C and the ratio of 4 parasitoid females/30 hosts. The shortest and longest handling time (Th) was measured at 20 and 17.5 °C, respectively. Accordingly, 20 °C is suitable condition to Encarsia reproductive and activity. E. citrina seems to be a promise candidate to control U. euonymi from late spring to early summer as well as during autumn, where the temperature is frequently around 20 °C. Therefore, parasitoid releases within this period on the early 2nd instar (10 days old) with a ratio of 1 parasitoid: 7.5 hosts have to be considered in the future biocontrol program of U. euonymi.

Cloning and validation of YELLOW STRIPE 3 (Ys3) and its implication on iron metabolism in maize (Zea mays L.)

In plants, iron (Fe) deficiency leads to chlorosis, reduced yield, and decreased nutritional quality. Graminaceous plants follow strategy II, in which chelating substances called “phytosiderophores” are produced and secreted into the rhizosphere. The Fe(III)-phytosiderophore complex is then taken up by the specific transporter, YELLOW STRIPE 1. The phytosiderophore in maize is 2’-deoxymugineic acid (DMA). In maize, the mutant ys3 is characterized by an intervenial chlorosis due to a defect in phytosiderophore secretion. Understanding genome-wide gene regulation upon Fe stress in ys3-background plants will provide important insides about Y s3 and its implication on Fe homeostasis. Map based cloning located the Ys3 gene in a 0.8 cM interval
on chromosome 3 spanning 13.59 Mbps and containing 207 high confidence gene models. However, only 50 genes were present in the maize, rice, and sorghum genomes. Within this subset of candidate genes, GRMZM2G063306 was predicted to encode a DMA efflux transporter orthologous to OsTOM1 and HvTOM1. The Ys3 gene then was sequenced in plants of the ys3 mutant
and wt showing 10 SNPs and 3 InDels in the coding sequence. However, only 2 InDels and 2 synonymous SNPs were unique for the ys3 mutant. Isolation of one novel ys3::Mu and four novel ys3::Ac novel ys3 mutations by direct transposon tagging confirmed the candidate gene GRMZM2G063306. An
additional F1S1 ys3::Mu individual showed a 6 bp insertion in exon 8, resulting in the insertion of two amino acids in the sequence. Increased expression levels of Y s3 T01, Y s3 T02, Dmas, and Ys1 was shown in root tissue of the ys3 mutant and wild type plants grown under Fe deficient conditions, in comparison with Fe sufficient conditions. Furthermore, a transcriptome profile of ys3×W22 F2 individuals grown under deficient and sufficient Fe
regimes revealed the immediate response of several Fe uptake and homeostasis genes along with bHLH transcription factors including GRMZM2G057413 (ZmIro2) and GRMZM2G350312 (ZmIro3) as well as novel candidate genes associated with transport, oxidation-reduction, and to the NAS family. In
addition, phenotypic and ionomic analyses were carried out to complement the transcriptome profile and thus, provide a complete and deep overview of gene response during Fe stress. This study revealed that Ys3 encodes a protein syntenic to rice and barley TOM1, which is in line with its predicted function as the specific transporter for phytosiderophore efflux in maize. Furthermore, it also provides important insides about Y s3 and its implication
on Fe homeostasis by investigating its response when grown under deficient and sufficient Fe regimes, which can later be used to improve Fe efficiency and thus, influence Fe content in grain to fight Fe deficiency in humans.
StrataGEM: A Generic Petri Net Verification Framework

AbstractIn this paperwe present the Strategy Generic Extensible Modelchecker (StrataGEM), a tool aimed at the analysis of Petri nets and other models of concurrency by means of symbolic model-checking techniques. StrataGEM marries the well know concepts of Term Rewriting (TR) to the efficiency of Decision Diagrams (DDs). TR systems are a great way to describe the semantics of a system, being readable and compact, but their direct implementation tends to be rather slow on large sets of terms. On the other hand, DDs have demonstrated their efficiency for model-checking, but translating a system semantics into efficient DDs operations is an expert’s matter. StrataGEM describes the semantics of a system in terms of strategies over a TR system, and automatically translates these rules into operations on DD to handle the model-checking. The ultimate goal of StrataGEM is to become a verification framework for the different variants of Petri nets by separating the semantics of the model from the computation that performs model-checking.KeywordsCluster DetectionSymbolic Model CheckTerm Rewrite SystemTerm RewriteVerification FrameworkThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
VPCH: A Consistent Hashing Algorithm for Better Load Balancing in a Hadoop Environment

MapReduce (MR) is a popular programming model for the purposes of processing large data sets among data clusters or grids, e.g. a Hadoop environment. Load balancing as a key factor affecting the performance of map resource distribution, has recently gained high concerns to optimize. Current MR processes in the realization of distributing tasks to clusters use hashing with random modulo operations, which can lead to uneven data distribution and inclined loads, thereby obstruct the performance of the entire distribution system. In this paper, a virtual partition consistent hashing (VPCH) algorithm is proposed for the reduce stage of MR processes, in order to achieve such a trade-off on job allocation. According to the results, using our method can reduce task execution time with or without MJR (mapreduce.job.reduce.slowstart.completedmaps) parameter set.

OpenFLUX2: 13C-MFA modeling software package adjusted for the comprehensive analysis of single and parallel labeling experiments

Steady-state (13)C-based metabolic flux analysis ((13)C-MFA) is the most powerful method available for the quantification of intracellular fluxes. These analyses include concertedly linked experimental and computational stages: (i) assuming the metabolic model and optimizing the experimental design; (ii) feeding the investigated organism using a chosen (13)C-labeled substrate (tracer); (iii) measuring the extracellular effluxes and detecting the (13)C-patterns of intracellular metabolites; and (iv) computing flux parameters that minimize the differences between observed and simulated measurements, followed by evaluating flux statistics. In its early stages, (13)C-MFA was performed on the basis of data obtained in a single labeling experiment (SLE) followed by exploiting the developed high-performance computational software. Recently, the advantages of parallel labeling experiments (PLEs), where several LEs are conducted under the conditions differing only by the tracer(s) choice, were demonstrated, particularly with regard to improving flux precision due to the synergy of complementary information. The availability of an open-source software adjusted for PLE-based (13)C-MFA is an important factor for PLE implementation.The open-source software OpenFLUX, initially developed for the analysis of SLEs, was extended for the computation of PLE data. Using the OpenFLUX2, in silico simulation confirmed that flux precision is improved when (13)C-MFA is implemented by fitting PLE data to the common model compared with SLE-based analysis. Efficient flux resolution could be achieved in the PLE-mediated analysis when the choice of tracer was based on an experimental design computed to minimize the flux variances from different parts of the metabolic network. The analysis provided by OpenFLUX2 mainly includes (i) the optimization of the experimental design, (ii) the computation of the flux parameters from LEs data, (iii) goodness-of-fit testing of the model's adequacy, (iv) drawing conclusions concerning the identifiability of fluxes and construction of a contribution matrix reflecting the relative contribution of the measurement variances to the flux variances, and (v) precise determination of flux confidence intervals using a fine-tunable and convergence-controlled Monte Carlo-based method.The developed open-source OpenFLUX2 provides a friendly software environment that facilitates beginners and existing OpenFLUX users to implement LEs for steady-state (13)C-MFA including experimental design, quantitative evaluation of flux parameters and statistics.

Easy connections assessment portal

eCAP is an innovative power network planning and analysis tool for self-assessment of network capacity for DG connection. eCAP provides Distributed Generation (DG) developers with the ability to analyse the viability of conventional and ANM grid connections prior to making a connection application. DG Developers are able to choose a Point of Connection (PoC) in the network and receive an estimate of the available network capacity based on the type of generation technology and rated capacity.
Currently, no such tool is available to support DG Developers who are forced to undertake complex studies using specific power systems analysis software and sophisticated techniques to determine the available capacity at a given PoC.
eCAP tackles this problem using a modular software solution based on original power system modelling and analysis techniques.  eCAP deals with this complex problem while delivering an intuitive and straightforward interface to the users. 
eCAP has an intuitive, web-based platform for DG developers to consider the feasibility of ANM-based connections and allows DSOs to vastly improve their customer service by identifying opportunities for ANM solutions to free a large portion of network capacity that otherwise would not be accessible.
It has been successfully demonstrated as a proof of concept as part of the Accelerating Renewable Connections project (2012-2015) in a limited grid area with many connection requests defined by the DSO, SP Energy Networks. 
eCAP will enhance and support the existing SGS real time control products portfolio with a new product in planning tools.  This feasibility study focuses on enhanced market analysis, the benefits and feasibility of re-platforming eCAP for being commercially fit, and identifying the requirements and design of new analytical and user interface functionality.

Family genome browser: visualizing genomes with pedigree information

Families with inherited diseases are widely used in Mendelian/complex disease studies. Owing to the advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies, family genome sequencing becomes more and more prevalent. Visualizing family genomes can greatly facilitate human genetics studies and personalized medicine. However, due to the complex genetic relationships and high similarities among genomes of consanguineous family members, family genomes are difficult to be visualized in traditional genome visualization framework. How to visualize the family genome variants and their functions with integrated pedigree information remains a critical challenge.We developed the Family Genome Browser (FGB) to provide comprehensive analysis and visualization for family genomes. The FGB can visualize family genomes in both individual level and variant level effectively, through integrating genome data with pedigree information. Family genome analysis, including determination of parental origin of the variants, detection of de novo mutations, identification of potential recombination events and identical-by-decent segments, etc., can be performed flexibly. Diverse annotations for the family genome variants, such as dbSNP memberships, linkage disequilibriums, genes, variant effects, potential phenotypes, etc., are illustrated as well. Moreover, the FGB can automatically search de novo mutations and compound heterozygous variants for a selected individual, and guide investigators to find high-risk genes with flexible navigation options. These features enable users to investigate and understand family genomes intuitively and systematically.The FGB is available at http://mlg.hit.edu.cn/FGB/.
APPARATUS AND METHODS OF CAPPING METALLIC BOTTLES

An apparatus and methods of sealing a metallic container are provided. More specifically, the present invention relates to capping apparatus and methods that reduce the amount of force applied to a metallic bottle to seal the metallic bottle with a ROPP closure. The capping apparatus may include more thread rollers than known capping apparatus. Optionally, the thread rollers may use more forming passes to form threads on the ROPP closure. The capping apparatus may also rotate one or more of the ROPP closure and the metallic container in a closing direction before the metallic container is discharged. In one embodiment, the thread rollers form the closure tlireads before or after a pilfer roller applies a sideload to the ROPP closure. In another embodiment, the capping apparatus forms a channel in the ROPP closure with a depth that is less than the depth of channels formed by prior art capping apparatus.
New biofertilizer in funtional foods: employ of lactic acid bacteria as vaccinium corymbosum inoculant

The consumption of functional foods has increased in the last years and, with it, the offer of available products to the consumer. These products, such as berries, are consumed by the health benefits preventing chronic diseases. In turn, fresh consumption of this fruits has increase in quantity and diversity, but the number of outbreaks of infectious diseases associated with their consumption is increase together. For this reason, the use of biofertilizers must follow strict biosecurity standards as reflected in future European regulations in this area. This regulation contains a limited number of microorganisms such as Rhizobium and another bacteria present in foods to be applied as biostimulant. So the use of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is an option to consider. In this project,, we propose the employ of LAB as biofertilizer to use on blueberry crops to improve the production and the quality of the fruits.
