Combining Ability Evaluation and Heritability Analysis of Several Traits of Two Novel Millet Sterile Lines

Taking Gu10A and Gu11A as sterile materials and millet varieties from different ecotope as recovery materials,this study analyzed the combining ability and heritability of these 2 novel foxtail millet sterile lines and different ecotope restorers by incomplete diallel cross method,so as to provide basis for sterile line breeding and selecting optimal combination.The results show that ① Sterile Gu10A's general combining ability is higher,and restorers with higher general combining ability are K1011,Richaogu,JinGu 21,JiGu 26,Datong 28 and Jigu 24.The special combining abilities of Gu10A with Jingu 14 and Datong 28 combinations are higher;although sterile Gu11A's general combining ability is low,its special combining abilities with Richaogu or Jigu 26 and K1011 combinations are higher than others.② The heritability analysis indicates that the heritabilities of plant height,yield,thousand kernel weight,and spike length in F1 group are larger,because the environment impact is small.The selection for these traits is effective.The narrow-sense heritabilities of spike weight,spike diameter,spike grain weight,thousand kernel weight and yield are lower,indicating that the dominant and epistatic effects in F1 group greatly influence these characteristics;and plant height and spike length of these 2 traits in F1 group are mainly caused by gene additive effect.
Health, environment, agriculture, rural development: training network for land management

Livestock farming is increasingly in the spotlight because of its impacts on the environment and human health. Global livestock production, specifically ruminant farming, has been associated with land use change, methane emissions, climate change, deforestation and biodiversity loss. At the same time, consumption of livestock proteins exceeds total human protein requirements for a healthy diet in most European Member States. 

However, ruminants can convert biomass unsuitable for direct human consumption (e.g. grass resources) into valuable food, including essential macro and micro-nutrients for humans. While grazing, ruminants contribute to: maintaining the landscape and, in specific local conditions, to; enhancing biodiversity and increasing carbon sequestration.

The contemporary industry challenge is therefore to develop livestock production systems that simultaneously enhance environmental sustainability and support a healthy diet. This is a knowledge-intensive process. Therefore, this European Industrial Doctorate (EID) programme – HEARTLAND+ will connect one of the most notable industry to the cutting-edge scientific knowledge while maximising the impact of the programme by working closely with experts in communication (to multiple audiences) and dissemination (to potential end-users).

The objectives of HEARTLAND+ can be summarized as follows:
1. To train a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative PhD graduates in the multidisciplinary topic of soil-to-society
2. To design, implement and evaluate a soil, sward, and grazing farm management system aimed at maximising the positive impact on the environment, improving the nutritional and sensory quality of meat, and consequently improving human health in component and systems research
3. To upscale the findings to contribute to the sectoral development of sustainable production systems and land management
4. To communicate, disseminate and exploit the findings
City logistics in living laboratories

Goods, waste and service trips in urban areas impose negative traffic and environmental impacts, and there is a need for further roll-out of cost-effective and sustainable solutions. The CITYLAB objective is to develop knowledge and solutions that result in roll-out, up-scaling and further implementation of cost effective strategies, measures and tools for emission free city logistics in urban centres by 2030. The project focuses on four axes for intervention due to their present and future relevance and impact related to topic MG-5.2 objectives: 1) Highly fragmented last-mile deliveries in city centres; 2) Large freight attractors and public administrations; 3) Urban waste, return trips and recycling; 4) Logistics facilities and warehouses. CITYLAB will i) improve basic knowledge and understanding on areas of freight distribution and service trips in urban areas that have received too little attention; ii) test and implement 7 innovative solutions that are promising in terms of impact on traffic, externalities and business profitability and have a high potential for future growth; and iii) provide a platform for replication and spreading supported solutions. The core of CITYLAB is a set of living laboratories, where cities work as contexts for innovation and implementation processes for public and private measures contributing to increased efficiency and sustainable urban logistics. Linkages will be established between the different living labs for exchange of experiences and to develop methodologies for transfer of implementations between cities and between companies. This process will be supported by a strong research team. The outputs from the living labs will include best practice guidance on innovative approaches and how to replicate them. CITYLAB will lay the ground for roll-out, up-scaling and transfer of cost-effective policies and implementations that lead to increased load factors and reduced vehicle movements of freight and service trips in urban areas.
Latent inhibition of conditioned disgust reactions in rats

The present experiments, using the latent inhibition (LI) paradigm, evaluated the effect of nonreinforced exposure to saccharin on the acquisition of an LiCl-induced saccharin aversion as measured by conditioned disgust reactions in the taste reactivity test and conditioned taste avoidance in a consumption test. When rats were preexposed to saccharin by bottle exposure (Experiments 1 and 3), LI was evidenced only by conditioned taste avoidance (bottle testing), but not by conditioned disgust reactions (intraoral [IO] testing). On the other hand, when rats were preexposed to saccharin by IO infusion (Experiments 2 and 3), LI was evidenced only by conditioned disgust reactions, but not by conditioned taste avoidance. Experiment 4 showed that LI of conditioned disgust reactions does not appear to be affected by a context shift from preexposure to testing phases. These results show that the expression of LI of both conditioned taste avoidance and conditioned disgust reactions depends critically on a common method of flavor exposure during preexposure and testing.
Hybrid general-purpose computation on GPU (GPGPU) and computer graphics synthetic aperture radar simulation for complex scenes

In this paper, a new hybrid general-purpose computation on GPU (GPGPU) and computer graphics synthetic aperture radar (SAR) simulation method for complex scenes is proposed. Previous SAR simulations for complex scenes only use GPU’s graphics capabilities for scattering calculation in graphical electromagnetic computing (GRECO) algorithm. The new hybrid method use GPU’s graphics and parallel computing capabilities for geometry modeling, scattering map and raw data calculation in SAR simulation of complex scenes. The advantages of the new method rely on the three contributions: GPU hardware provides lots of stream processors for threads calculating, common unified device architecture (CUDA) environment runs thousands of threads working in parallel for assigned task, raw data simulation adopts the fine-grained task parallelism. Compared with classical algorithms, the method not only ensures the accuracy of scattering calculation with GRECO algorithm, but also improves the computational efficiency greatlyfor complex scenes consideration. The results show that the method is able to obtain the speedup about 30 times on entry-level GPU.

Unsteadiness in high-speed strong shock-boundary layer interactions

Travelling at high speeds entails overcoming adverse effects, such as regions of high heat transfer and surface pressures, unsteady shock waves, and fluid-structure interactions. The occurrence of shock boundary layer interaction (SBLI) close to the leading edge is common in high-speed intakes. When accompanied by separation, the interaction adversely affects the performance of the system. The adverse effects are more than just those related to the energy/efficiency budgets; the separation could be unsteady and 3-dimensional which imposes heavy unsteady loads (including thermal loads) on the structure. An understanding of the 3-dimensionality and unsteadiness associated with strong shock-boundary layer interactions thus becomes inevitable in view of controlling them, especially at high-speed Mach numbers, particularly in the context of intakes. The objectives of the propose study are:
1) investigate experimentally the spatio-temporal organization of a shock induced laminar/transitional separation bubble near the leading edge.
2) study in detail, the mechanisms responsible for the unsteadiness using advanced flow diagnostic techniques.
3) propose and demonstrate novel methods of control of the unsteady interactions. 
The research programme will advance the frontiers of supersonic and hypersonic aerothermodynamics and propulsion and it will firmly establish a UK/European lead in research on shock-boundary layer interactions and their control. This programme will be supported by the excellent research environment provided by the host, Prof Kontis, University of Glasgow UK, with state-of-the-art facilities for research development, testing and training. This programme will also benefit from the strong links between the host group and leading UK and international research groups.

Eventos agroalimentarios y de productos típicos: instrumentos de promoción para un territorio del sur de Italia

Para la mayor parte de las zonas serranas, montañosas y del interior, los productos agroalimentarios locales y típicos representan una importante herramienta para generar ingresos, garantizar la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, dando respuesta a las necesidades humanas básicas y al deseo de mejorar la calidad de vida. La supervivencia de estas áreas está fuertemente ligada a la persistencia de estos productos, que, además de tener que ser rentables para las comunidades que los producen y que viven de ellos, también deben imponerse en el marco de la competitividad que imponen los mercados. De hecho, sucede que, para muchos de ellos, si bien las condiciones de producción garantizan la calidad y la seguridad alimentaria, no se puede decir lo mismo de su capacidad para competir con la mayoría de las producciones semi-industriales. Gracias a una encuesta a los consumidores, este estudio propone una evaluación de las relaciones entre los eventos / manifestaciones gastronómicas y vinícolas de un área de interior del sur de Italia y algunos productos alimenticios locales que se ofrecen en los puestos de comida con motivo de tales eventos. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, se optó por aplicar el “Análisis de Redes Sociales” (ARS), comparando los eventos gastronómicos, folclóricos y culturales que se detectaron en la zona y con algunos productos alimenticios locales presentes en los puestos. El área considerada es muy interesante en cuanto a los productos típicos y tradicionales, entre los que la trufa es la menos conocida y extendida, y sólo ha comenzado a consolidarse recientemente. Los resultados mostraron que algunos de los productos tomados en consideración son recurrentes, es decir, siempre presentes en los diversos eventos de la zona, otros menos. Los datos muestran el atractivo que estos eventos y jornadas gastronómicas son capaces de suscitar en los consumidores y el interés y propensión a comprar los alimentos de tradición local. En particular, los turistas buscan la experiencia de la gastronomía local y la cultura e identidad del destino visitado. El análisis de estos datos proporciona información sobre la fuerza competitiva que pueden suscitar los eventos enogastronómicos y las producciones locales. Eventos y manifestaciones como los destacados en el trabajo ayudan a preservar la identidad y la autenticidad de las tradiciones locales.
Developing therapeutic antibodies for pets

Chronic inflammatory diseases in pets such as Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) are poorly managed causing emotional and financial distress to pet owners. Current therapies are ineffective - they do not relieve pet suffering and lead to the animal being put down. Therapies are also expensive with costs up to €400/month. Antibody therapy for such conditions has long been used in human medicine but has not been sufficiently developed for veterinary medicine and causes an immunogenic response as the antibodies are not species specific. Antibodies need to be adapted which is expensive and causes severe side effects making them an untenable solution at present. Pet ownership in the EU has been on the increase (up by 2million pets since 2016) due to demographic shifts and a greater reliance on pets as companions. The global animal health market is worth > €29Bn growing at a CAGR of 6% with pet health making up 40% of the market. Pet owners spend €3k - €5k/ year on their pet’s health and are willing to pay to ease pet suffering. adivo is a German biotech company specializing in generating species-specific therapeutic antibodies for companion animals. adivo was founded in 2018. The adivo-team aims to address medical needs in dogs including cancer and chronic inflammation, with the potential of expanding activities into the development of therapeutics for other species in future. adivo has developed CAESAR, the first of a kind synthetic canine phage-display library to generate therapeutic antibodies for dogs. We have developed a complete library from which we can synthesize therapeutic antibodies native to treat IBD. Our solution will overcome the challenges of current therapies and provide an affordable, scalable solution for effective antibody therapy for pets which has been demonstrated in human medicine. We expect to generate out-licensing revenue ≥€15M when we launch the product before royalties and hire 12 people.
Formation of the Feasibility of Housing Projects in Vietnam Incorporating the Physical and Social Factors

Abstract Unlike the crisis in the U.S which mainly started from the secondary investors and financial system, the Vietnam's housing bubble is caused by the primary realty investors. When businesses in Vietnam made lower profits, this led a rush to investments in the real estate market even from those primary investors who are newly established, lack of professionalism of housing development and knowledge of urban economics. Many of their projects were lack of feasibility as products could not be sold or developed, leaving the market frozen with huge numbers of empty plots, houses, and apartments. The review on Urban Sociology theories from the Chicago school to the recent researches on Urban Residential Location combining with deep analysis on the situation of Vietnam and the U.S had clarified the causes of housing crisis in Vietnam. Many housing projects within the country are prepared without incorporating certain physical and social factors, leading to the lack in feasibility and therefore largely seen as the origination of housing crisis. The proposed solution of this research was to incorporate physical and social factors in the projects, represented by the correct selection of the appropriate Housing Status and Dwelling Quality for each social group.
Physically based simulation and rendering of thin shell sound

Sound is as important as visuals in modern media (lms, video-games). Yet, little effort has been devoted to the rendering of sound from digital environments, compared to the phenomenal advances of visual rendering. Virtual scenes are sonied through the ad-hoc edition of recorded sounds and their manual synchronization with the visuals, yielding limited and repetitive sounds. This proposal addresses this problem by generating sounds from virtual environments through physically based simulation, and focuses on a challenging family of objects: thin shells. Characteristic thin shell sounds include tearing cloth and paper, crushing cans and plastic bottles, and crumpling a piece of paper and a plastic bag. Sound synthesis of thin-shell sound will be addressed through a set of modeling techniques (model reduction, high frequency bandwidth extension and precomputed sound databases), while real-time constrains will be addressed using data-driven approaches. This project will considerably widen the number of real life object sounds that can be digitally generated, and will contribute to the young research eld of physically based sound rendering, which has the potential of becoming the next key technology of the media industry. The expertise of Columbia University in thin shells and sound rendering, complemented by the expertise of Inria in real-time sound rendering provide the optimal setting for the success of this fellowship. In addition, the researcher will receive training through research and on complementary skills, including student tutoring, teaching, dissemination, and project management. Industry-related skills, such as technology transfer, research-to-product techniques and standardization will be trained through a secondment in the industrial sector at AudioGaming. This Action will allow the researcher to become a mature and independent, and to obtain a long term research position in Europe as a world leader in physically based sound rendering.
