CONFLITOS SOCIOAMBIENTAIS: UM ESTUDO DE CASO NO SERTÃO PERNAMBUCANO
Authors: Melo Adriana Soely André de Souza , Florêncio Roberto Remígio
Published: November 2021

O presente estudo procura analisar causas e consequências de um conflito socioambiental no sertão pernambucano, mais especificamente no Assentamento Rural da Fazenda Malhada da Pedra, no Município de Serra Talhada – PE, no qual ocorre um processo de voçorocamento que se estende desde as margens do rio Pajeú ao interior do assentamento. Para alcançar o objetivo, realizou-se pesquisa bibliográfica e empírica, com entrevistas e visitas de campo, dando ênfase às falas das lideranças locais e aos participantes da Associação de Agricultores da Fazenda Malhada da Pedra, além de informações coletadas das ONGs ICCN e Dom Helder Câmara. O processo de erosão é uma problemática identificada e discutida pela comunidade, que já solicitou, junto às autoridades, acompanhamento técnico para o plantio de mudas nativas e estudos sobre o combate ao problema. As considerações finais dão ênfase à necessidade de preservação do meio, através da educação ambiental, em uma região tão castigada pelas estiagens quanto pela irregularidade das chuvas, que provocam a erosão em forma de voçorocas e assoreamento do mais importante curso d’água local, o Rio Pajeú.

The development of biotechnology in the field of GMOs requires states to take specific decisions to regulate the spread of genetically modified crops. In the European Union all GM crops that circulation are subject to mandatory registration, which regulates the placing on the market and circulation of genetically modified raw materials, food and feed. The article presents systematized data about the registration of genetically modified soybean, maize and rapeseed in the European Union. It was established that most of the GM crops have introduced genes that give them tolerance to herbicides of different groups. The register of the European Union currently includes 12 events of soybean (GTS 40-3-2, A2704-12, Mon 89788, MON87705, DP 356043, A5547-127, FG 72, SYHTOH 2, DAS-44406-6, DAS-68416- 4, Mon 87708, BPS-CV127-9), 5 events of maize (MZHG0JG, DAS-40278-9, GA 21, NK 603, T 25), 3 events of rapeseed (GT 73, T45, TOPAS 19/2) with tolerance to herbicides. It has been shown that a significant number of registered GM plants have a combination of several events, including tolerance to herbicides and resistance to certain insects or improving quality features of crops. Among them are one event of soybean (DP305423-1), 9 events of maize (TC 1507, DP 4114-3, MON 87411-9, MON 87427, MON 88017, DAS59122-7, Bt 176, Bt 11, DAS 1507) and one event of rapeseed (MS8xRF3). Many GM crops (one event of soybean and 6 events of maize) have introduced genes that determine the plant's tolerance to insects. Only a tiny amount of GM crops are being with altered consumer or technological qualities. In the register of genetically modified crops, all events of GM crops are currently authorized for usage for food, supplements, feed and other product. А single event of maize (Mon 810), that was allowed for cultivation at the time of this analysis was at the stage of renewal of the permit.
Piel: a dos caras
Authors: De Blas María José , Picado Rubén
Published: November 2021

Denominar ‘piel’ a una membrana con cualidades casi bidimensionales ha sido la metáfora más generalizada de la arquitectura desde el siglo XX. En los años cincuenta se concentra un giro de guión en el planteamiento ético constructivo. Utzon abrirá un camino sorprendente.Se analizan obras de Saarinen, Le Corbusier y Fisac que juegan con la piel. Fuller, Otto y Archigram recogen el testigo epitelial desde la ligereza y lo nómada. Venturi, precursor del Posmodernismo es complaciente con la ética constructiva, justificando que la piel expresiva de la arquitectura trabaje de forma independiente y autónoma al orden interno, ¡precisamente el cuarto punto de Le Corbusier! Las Vegas es el ejemplo vivo de ello.
Los dardos envenenados de humor de Adolf Loos. El Chicago Tribune
Authors: Otegui Vicens Idoia
Published: November 2021

El humor es uno de los recursos más directos, sutiles e inteligentes para enjuiciar la realidad. Es una herramienta muy útil para la crítica y la comunicación, por lo que paradójicamente podemos afirmar que el humor es una cosa ‘muy seria’, y Loos se tomó su trabajo de forma muy seria, pero con humor. Él solo engloba casi todas las ideas de la cultura arquitectónica del siglo xx: apoyó la artesanía y la tradición, defendió la máquina y la industria como el espíritu de su época, se convirtió en el guía de la modernidad más radical, se anticipó a la crítica del posterior Movimiento Moderno, fue interpretado como el primer Posmoderno, y a día de hoy sigue siendo fuente permanente de inspiración.
La vida en la casa. Pautas de distribución en las viviendas de Eichler
Authors: Martínez-Peñalver Covadonga
Published: November 2021

Desde 1949 hasta 1966 el promotor Joseph Eichler construyó aproximadamente 11.000 viviendas en California, comercializando unos modelos de vivienda cuyos criterios organizativos responden al interés por la experiencia cotidiana. Los distintos modelos, proyectados por los arquitectos Anshen & Allen, Jones & Emmons y en la última etapa Claude Oakland, comparten ciertas pautas distributivas: doble circulación, habitación exterior y cocina estancial. Estas características responden a una forma de vida acorde, tanto al clima y a la tradición californiana como a una nueva domesticidad en la que la casa no es solo un refugio vital, sino un lugar personal de disfrute, relajación, celebración y juego. Todas estas acciones domésticas quedan retratadas en las fotografías de Ernie Brown con las que se publicitaban las viviendas, mostrando como la riqueza del producto asequible que comercializaba Joseph Eichler es precisamente, la forma de vida que posibilita: la vida en la casa.
Arquitecturas descuadradas. Hacia una nueva relación geometría-forma en la arquitectura contemporánea
Authors: Villanueva Cajide Beatriz , Casas Cobo Francisco Javier
Published: November 2021

La relación entre geometría y forma arquitectónica, que ya había comenzado a cuestionarse a partir de la crisis del Movimiento Moderno, presenta nuevas posibilidades con la intervención de medios digitales en los procesos de diseño arquitectónico. A partir de la dialéctica que se establece entre Frampton y Banham, cuando el primero reseña The Architecture of the Well-Tempered Environment y de los conceptos de marco estructural y pragmata que resumen las posturas de ambos respectivamente, el presente artículo se propone analizar el estado de la relación geometría-forma en la arquitectura contemporánea. Para ello, se tomarán seis manifiestos escritos entre 1995 y 2004 como muestra de los más relevantes conceptos desarrollados en este período, entendido como clave para comprender el paso de diseño analógico al digital aplicado a la arquitectura, hasta llegar a la paradoja que define esta relación geometría-forma en la actualidad.

Authors: Lesselroth Blake , Park Hannah , Monkman Helen , Ijams Shannon , Yarnall Ryan , Kollaja Liz , Luetkemeyer J. Lee , Dennis Syeachia
Published: November 2021

The medical literature shows that social determinants of health have a significant impact upon health outcomes. However, health professionals often lack the skills to address these determinants at the systems-level. Therefore, we developed a Design Thinking workshop to teach about health-related social needs and to practice designing person-centered solutions. We piloted the workshop with 53 medical and physician assistant students; 69.8% responded to the post-workshop questionnaire. Nearly 80% of students agreed the workshop helped them understand the effect of context on clinical outcomes and demonstrated how to design patient-centered solutions. However, only 50% of respondents anticipated using the Design Thinking methods in their future practice. We need to identify more effective ways to demonstrate the practical application of Design Thinking to clinical work settings.

Kraft recovery boiler operation with splash plate and/or beer can nozzles — a case study
Authors: RAJU VISWAMOORTHY , ENGBLOM MARKUS , RANTALA EETU , ENESTAM SONJA , MANSIKKASALO JARMO
Published: November 2021

In this work, we study a boiler experiencing upper furnace plugging and availability issues. To improve the situation and increase boiler availability, the liquor spray system was tuned/modified by testing different combinations of splash plate and beer can nozzles. While beer cans are typically used in smaller furnaces, in this work, we considered a furnace with a large floor area for the study. The tested cases included: 1) all splash plate nozzles (original operation), 2) all beer can nozzles, and 3) splash plate nozzles on front and back wall and beer cans nozzles on side walls. We found that operating according to Case 3 resulted in improved overall boiler operation as compared to the original condition of using splash plates only. Additionally, we carried out computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of the three liquor spray cases to better understand the furnace behavior in detail for the tested cases. Model predictions show details of furnace combustion characteristics such as temperature, turbulence, gas flow pattern, carryover, and char bed behavior. Simulation using only the beer can nozzles resulted in a clear reduction of carryover. However, at the same time, the predicted lower furnace temperatures close to the char bed were in some locations very low, indicating unstable bed burning. Compared to the first two cases, the model predictions using a mixed setup of splash plate and beer can nozzles showed lower carryover, but without the excessive lowering of gas temperatures close to the char bed.
Corrosion damage and in-service inspection of retractable sootblower lances in recovery boilers
Authors: PAOLIELLO FLAVIO
Published: November 2021

Several reports of accidents involving serious mechanical failures of sootblower lances in chemical recovery boilers are known in the pulp and paper industry. These accidents mainly consisted of detachment and ejection of the lance tip, or even of the entire lance, to the inside of the furnace, towards the opposite wall. At least one of these cases known to the author resulted in a smelt-water explosion in the boiler.
In other events, appreciable damage or near-miss conditions have already been experienced. The risk of catastrophic consequences of the eventual detachment of the lance tip or the complete lance of a recovery boiler soot-blower has caught the attention of manufacturers, who have adjusted their quality procedures, but this risk also needs to be carefully considered by the technical staff at pulp mills and in industry committees.
This paper briefly describes the failure mechanisms that prevailed in past accidents, while recommending inspection and quality control policies to be applied in order to prevent further occurrences of these dangerous and costly component failures. Digital radiography, in conjunction with other well known inspection techniques, appears to be an effective means to ensure the integrity of sootblower lances in chemical recovery boilers used in the pulp and paper industry.
A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF LEARNING PLANS IN SPADA LMS BASED ON ASSURE MODEL
Authors: Prihatmi Tutut Nani , Istiqoma Maria , Anjarwati Rini
Published: November 2021

This research seeks to answer to the challenge of online learning lecturers to plan their lessons more systematically by adopting ASSURE model. The change from face-to-face conventional learning to online requires more consideration and preparation, especially in learning planning. The ASSURE model is one of the instructions and learning plans that can be adopted in planning, identifying, determining goals, choosing media and material methods, and evaluating the course. The data collection technique was carried out by processing and analyzing documents from the literature, interview results, and questionnaires answered by respondents via links distributed to lecturers of the Architecture Department, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, National Institute of Technology Malang. The results show that the six components of the ASSURE model of the learning planning uploaded in SPADA LMS had not been implemented optimally. Therefore, the researcher recommends for the improvement of the Semester Lesson Plan (RPS) based on the ASSURE Model to promote continuous improvements.
The influence of levodopa on respiratory function in Parkinson's disease patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Ferreira Francisco José Silva , Gonçalves Paulo Eduardo , Lima Alice Santos , Garção Diogo Costa
Published: November 2021

There is no consensus in the literature about the influence of levodopa on respiratory disorders, which are the main cause of death in Parkinson’s disease patients. Thus, the aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the influence of levodopa on lung function in patients with Parkinson’s disease. A systematic search was performed in the MEDLINE-PubMed, Lilacs, IEEE Xplore Digital Library and Cochrane Library databases, until July 2020. Eligibility, screening, data extraction and quality assessment of the studies found were conducted independently by a minimum of two reviewers. The meta-analysis was made using RevMan 5, using standardized difference of means (SDM) with the random effects model and 95% confidence interval. The presence of heterogeneity was evaluated through the percentage of i². In total, 78 studies were identified; of these,7 were included in the review and meta-analysis after considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. By comparing the 'on' and 'off' levodopa states, in the outcomes of interest found in the included studies, the following results were obtained in the meta-analysis: FVC (SMD of 0.12, p = 0.41); FEV1 (SMD of 0.10, p = 0.47); PEF (SMD of -0.00, p = 0.99); FEV1/FVC (SMD 0.04, p = 0.76). The conducted study suggested that there was no influence of levodopa treatment on any of the pulmonary variables assessed in patients with Parkinson’s disease.

Authors: Budiyanto Hery , Setiawan Aries Boedi , Siswati Aris
Published: November 2021

Saat ini ada cara lain untuk memanfaatkan lahan sempit sebagai usaha untuk mengembangkan hasil pertanian, yaitu dengan cara bercocok tanam secara Hidroganik yaitu sistem budidaya organik dengan menanam padi pada tanah humus di dalam gelas plastik yang ditanam pada jajaran pipa paralon diatas kolam ikan,  memadukan sistem hidro (sirkulasi air bernutrisi) dan sistem organik (tanpa pupuk kimia). Sumber nutrisi utama dari hidroganik ini diperoleh dari pupuk organik padat dan cair serta air kolam yang di-treatment sebagai nutrisi tanaman. Program Kemitraan Masyarakat (PKM) ini bertujuan untuk menangani permasalahan yang dialami oleh mitra pengabdian yaitu Pusat Pelatihan Pertanian dan Pedesaan Swadaya “Bengkel Mimpi” di Dusun Krajan Desa Kanigoro RT 33 RW 03 Kecamatan Pagelaran Kabupaten Malang yang melakukan budidaya padi secara hidroganik. Masalahnya adalah bagaimana mendapatkan sumber tenaga listrik alternatif agar pengeluaran keuangan untuk listrik yang selama ini hanya dari PLN dapat lebih dihemat/dikurangi, sehingga solusi dan target luaran yang dilaksanakan dalam mengatasi permasalahan tersebut berupa pembangkit listrik tenaga surya (PLTS) yang digunakan untuk menggerakkan 12 buah pompa air hidroganik dan 2 buah lampu penerangan jalan di kawasan “Bengkel Mimpi”. Setelah melalui perhitungan teknis, dipasang 6 buah solar panel 100 wp lengkap dengan bracket penyangga, 3 buah battery 100 AH, 1 buah solar charge controller, 1 buah inverter 3000 WA, 12 buah pompa air. Kelebihan dari PLTS ini adalah aspek desain bracket penyangga solar panel yang dibuat atraktif menyerupai bentuk bunga matahari. Hasil pengujian telah dilakukan dalam kondisi cerah PLTS ini menghasilkan 2.144 WattJam. Luaran PKM ini dapat dijadikan sebagai model sumber tenaga listrik alternative di desa-desa lain secara nasional terutama pada lahan-lahan pertanian hidroganik maupun hidroponik yang lokasinya jauh dari jaringan listrik PLN.

Published: November 2021

Perkembangan jumlah UKM di Indonesia semakin pesat. Namun  dari sekian banyak UKM, sebagian besar masih mengalami kesulitan yang berhubungan dengan pengelolaan keuangan usaha. Hal ini tidak lepas dari keterbatasan UKM untuk memiliki pengetahuan yang baik tentang pengelolaan dan pencatatan keuangan serta keterbatas akses UKM untuk mendapatkan aplikasi pengelolaan dan pencatatan keuangan sederhana yang sesuai dengan kondisi usaha mereka. Kondisi ini dialami juga oleh N’Up Product, sebuah IKM yang memproduksi produk-produk olahan bawang hitam. Keterbatasan akses dan pengetahuan, mengakibatkan pencatatan keuanganya masih dilakukan secara manual. Membantu mengatasi persoalan ini, Tim Pengabdian Masyarakat Prodi Teknik Industri Universitas Ma Chung, melalui Skim Ma Chung Abdimas Grant (MAG), merancang aplikasi khusus pencatatan keuangan IKM yang berbasiskan Microsoft Excel. Aplikasi ini kemudian diterapkan di IKM N’Up Product sekaligus untuk memperbaiki cara pengelolaan keuangannya. Hasil yang didapatkan melalui program ini, IKM N’Up Product telah memiliki dan menerapkan sebuah sistem pengelolaan dan pencatatan keuangan yang professional, yang pada saatnya nanti akan membantu pengembangan dan peningkatan usahanya.

Parlare in pubblico: un’abilità trascurata nella didattica dell’italiano come L1
Authors: Fiorentino Giuliana
Published: November 2021

L’articolo riflette criticamente sulla didattica del parlato pubblico in Italia auspicando una sua maggiore diffusione. La riflessione si basa da un lato sulla letteratura reperibile in italiano (perlopiù costituita da interventi proposti ai convegni del GISCEL) e dall’altro su un piccolo corpus di parlato pubblico prodotto da studenti universitari in contesto formativo. Il quadro che emerge dalla letteratura – che riguarda quasi esclusivamente il contesto scolastico – evidenzia la quasi totale assenza di una didattica e di una riflessione sul parlato in ambito accademico, e rispetto alla didattica del parlato pubblico a scuola sembrerebbe che le proposte siano rimaste in buona misura rare e circoscritte. Il quadro che si può ricavare, pur con molte cautele, dalle prove di parlato pubblico analizzate consente di evidenziare alcuni elementi problematici del parlato degli studenti universitari e di indicare alcuni possibili spunti per un curricolo di didattica del parlato tra scuola e università.

Listeria monocytogenescauses severe foodborne illness in pregnant women and immunocompromised individuals. After the intestinal phase of infection, the liver plays a central role in the clearance of this pathogen through its important functions in immunity. However, recent evidence suggests that during long-term infection of hepatocytes, a subpopulation ofListeriamay escape eradication by entering a persistence phase in intracellular vacuoles. Here, we examine whether this long-term infection alters hepatocyte defense pathways, which may be instrumental for bacterial persistence. We first optimized cell models of persistent infection in human hepatocyte cell lines HepG2 and Huh7 and primary mouse hepatocytes (PMH). In these cells,Listeriaefficiently entered the persistence phase after three days of infection, while inducing a potent interferon response, of type I in PMH and type III in HepG2, while Huh7 remained unresponsive. RNA-sequencing analysis identified a common signature of long-termListeriainfection characterized by the overexpression of a set of genes involved in antiviral immunity and the under-expression of many acute phase protein (APP) genes, particularly involved in the complement and coagulation systems. Infection also altered the expression of cholesterol metabolism-associated genes in HepG2 and Huh7 cells. The decrease in APP transcripts was correlated with lower protein abundance in the secretome of infected cells, as shown by proteomics, and also occurred in the presence of APP inducers (IL-6 or IL-1β). Collectively, these results reveal that long-term infection withListeriaprofoundly deregulates the innate immune functions of hepatocytes, which could generate an environment favorable to the establishment of persistent infection.
More Than Just Cleaning: Ubiquitin-Mediated Proteolysis in Fungal Pathogenesis
Authors: Cao Chengjun , Xue Chaoyang
Published: November 2021

Ubiquitin-proteasome mediated protein turnover is an important regulatory mechanism of cellular function in eukaryotes. Extensive studies have linked the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) to human diseases, and an array of proteasome inhibitors have been successfully developed for cancer therapy. Although still an emerging field, research on UPS regulation of fungal development and virulence has been rapidly advancing and has generated considerable excitement in its potential as a target for novel drugs. In this review, we summarize UPS composition and regulatory function in pathogenic fungi, especially in stress responses, host adaption, and fungal pathogenesis. Emphasis will be given to UPS regulation of pathogenic factors that are important for fungal pathogenesis. We also discuss future potential therapeutic strategies for fungal infections based on targeting UPS pathways.

Determining the optimal discussion group size to improve performance and learning has created an intense debate in psychology and provided mixed findings in laboratory and field settings. In a quasi-experimental study in the education field, we examined the effect of discussion group size on individual learning in a biology exercise performed on a tablet with stylus. The sample involved 102 secondary school students divided into four classes, each corresponding to one of the four experimental conditions (alone without peer discussion vs discussion in dyads vs triads vs four-member groups). They were asked to draw individually a functional schema of the human respiratory system, once before and once after discussing with peers (or reflecting alone). Both drawings were evaluated by four independent coders, and the learning gain for each student was computed from these evaluations. Results revealed that learning gain was greater for students discussing in four-member groups than for those in the other conditions. Additional analyses suggested that this effect was moderated by the students’ gender, with the learning gain being greater after discussion in four-member groups among females only. These findings suggest that group size of four individuals might be the optimal configuration to improve peer learning.
The Impact of Dysmetabolic Sarcopenia Among Insulin Sensitive Tissues: A Narrative Review

Sarcopenia is a common muscular affection among elderly individuals. More recently, it has been recognized as the skeletal muscle (SM) expression of the metabolic syndrome. The prevalence of sarcopenia is increasing along with visceral obesity, to which it is tightly associated. Nonetheless, it is a still underreported entity by clinicians, despite the worsening in disease burden and reduced patient quality of life. Recognition of sarcopenia is clinically challenging, and variability in study populations and diagnostic methods across the clinical studies makes it hard to reach a strong evidence. Impaired insulin activity in SM is responsible for the altered molecular pathways and clinical manifestations of sarcopenia, which is morphologically expressed by myosteatosis. Lipotoxicity, oxidative stress and adipose tissue-derived inflammation lead to both alterations in glucose disposal and protein synthesis in SM, with raising insulin resistance (IR) and SM atrophy. In particular, hyperleptinemia and leptin resistance interfere directly with SM activity, but also with the release of Growth Hormone from the hypohysis, leading to a lack in its anabolic effect on SM. Moreover, sarcopenia is independently associated to liver fibrosis in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), which in turn worsens SM functionality through the secretion of proinflammatory heptokines. The cross-talk between the liver and SM in the IR setting is of crucial relevance, given the high prevalence of NAFLD and the reciprocal impact of insulin-sensitive tissues on the overall disease burden. Along with the efforts of non-invasive diagnostic approaches, irisin and myostatin are two myokines currently evaluated as potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognostication. Decreased irisin levels seem to be potentially associated to sarcopenia, whereas increased myostatin has shown to negatively impact on sarcopenia in pre-clinical studies. Gene variants in irisin have been explored with regard to the impact on the liver disease phenotype, with conflicting results. The gut-muscle axis has gain relevance with the evidence that insulin resistance-derived gut dysbiosis is responsible for increased endotoxemia and reduction in short-chain free fatty acids, directly affecting and predisposing to sarcopenia. Based on the current evidence, more efforts are needed to increase awareness and improve the management of sarcopenic patients.

In this numerical work, the cooling performance of water–Al2O3 nanofluid (NF) in a novel microchannel heat sink with wavy walls (WMH-S) is investigated. The focus of this article is on the effect of NP diameter on the cooling efficiency of the heat sink. The heat sink has four inlets and four outlets, and it receives a constant heat flux from the bottom. CATIA and CAMSOL software were used to design the model and simulate the NF flow and heat transfer, respectively. The effects of the Reynolds number (Re) and volume percentage of nanoparticles (Fi) on the outcomes are investigated. One of the most significant results of this work was the reduction in the maximum and average temperatures of the H-S by increasing both the Re and Fi. In addition, the lowest Tmax and pumping power belong to the state of low NP diameter and higher Fi. The addition of nanoparticles reduces the heat sink maximum temperature by 3.8 and 2.5% at the Reynolds numbers of 300 and 1800, respectively. Furthermore, the highest figure of merit (FOM) was approximately 1.25, which occurred at Re=1800 and Fi = 5%. Eventually, it was revealed that the best performance of the WMH-S was observed in the case of Re=807.87, volume percentage of 0.0437%, and NP diameter of 20 nm.

The objective of this study was to assess feasibility of integrating a coupled fire-atmosphere model within an air-quality forecast system to create a multiscale air-quality modeling framework designed to simulate wildfire smoke. For this study, a coupled fire-atmosphere model, WRF-SFIRE, was integrated, one-way, with the AIRPACT air-quality modeling system. WRF-SFIRE resolved local meteorology, fire growth, the fire plume rise, and smoke dispersion, and provided AIRPACT with fire inputs. The WRF-SFIRE-forecasted fire area and the explicitly resolved vertical smoke distribution replaced the parameterized BlueSky fire inputs used by AIRPACT. The WRF-SFIRE/AIRPACT integrated framework was successfully tested for two separate wildfire events (2015 Cougar Creek and 2016 Pioneer fires). The execution time for the WRF-SFIRE simulations was <3 h for a 48 h-long forecast, suggesting that integrating coupled fire-atmosphere simulations within the daily AIRPACT cycle is feasible. While the WRF-SFIRE forecasts realistically captured fire growth 2 days in advance, the largest improvements in the air quality simulations were associated with the wildfire plume rise. WRF-SFIRE-estimated plume tops were within 300-m of satellite-estimated plume top heights for both case studies analyzed in this study. Air quality simulations produced by AIRPACT with and without WRF-SFIRE inputs were evaluated with nearby PM2.5measurement sites to assess the performance of our multiscale smoke modeling framework. The largest improvements when coupling WRF-SFIRE with AIRPACT were observed for the Cougar Creek Fire where model errors were reduced by ∼50%. For the second case (Pioneer fire), the most notable change with WRF-SFIRE coupling was that the probability of detection increased from 16 to 52%.

Cashmere fineness is one of the important factors determining cashmere quality; however, our understanding of the regulation of cashmere fineness at the cellular level is limited. Here, we used single-cell RNA sequencing and computational models to identify 13 skin cell types in Liaoning cashmere goats. We also analyzed the molecular changes in the development process by cell trajectory analysis and revealed the maturation process in the gene expression profile in Liaoning cashmere goats. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis explored hub genes in cell clusters related to cashmere formation. Secondary hair follicle dermal papilla cells (SDPCs) play an important role in the growth and density of cashmere. ACTA2, a marker gene of SDPCs, was selected for immunofluorescence (IF) and Western blot (WB) verification. Our results indicate that ACTA2 is mainly expressed in SDPCs, and WB results show different expression levels. COL1A1 is a highly expressed gene in SDPCs, which was verified by IF and WB. We then selected CXCL8 of SDPCs to verify and prove the differential expression in the coarse and fine types of Liaoning cashmere goats. Therefore, the CXCL8 gene may regulate cashmere fineness. These genes may be involved in regulating the fineness of cashmere in goat SDPCs; our research provides new insights into the mechanism of cashmere growth and fineness regulation by cells.
