Dynamics of Fertility-Related Traits in Tomato Landraces under Mild and Severe Heat Stress
Authors: Farinon Barbara , Picarella Maurizio E. , Mazzucato Andrea
Published: March 2022

Studies on the reproductive dynamics under heat stress are crucial to breed more tolerant cultivars. In tomato, cultivars, breeding lines, and wild species have been evaluated for their response to heat stress. Here, we addressed the study to a panel of selected landraces representing traditional genotypes that usually show high adaptation to local environments. In two experiments, spaced by 12 years, we set-up an identical experimental design with plants transplanted at two different dates to expose the second field to thermic stress with natural fluctuations. Such a strategy resulted in both a mild and severe stress in the two years. The landraces showed wide variation for both vegetative and reproductive traits; all traits were affected by heat, mostly with a significant Genotype*Environment interaction. A high broad-sense heritability was estimated for plant height, stigma position, pollen viability, and fruit weight. Low heritability estimates were found for the number of flowers, fruit set, and yield. Despite the interaction, traits recorded under control and heat conditions were positively correlated. Multivariate analysis located the genotypes in a topography that was stable under all conditions, except under the harshest temperatures. The study revealed that landraces present a wide variability for the response of reproductive traits to thermic challenges and that such a variation could be useful to dissect the traits with higher heritability and identify quantitative trait loci for breeding more resilient varieties.

Waxy starch with a modified amylose-to-amylopectin ratio is desired for a range of applications in food and non-food industries; however, yield performance and grain quality characteristics of waxy wheat cultivars are usually inferior in comparison to advanced non-waxy cultivars. In this study, we compared waxy (‘Eldija’, ‘Sarta’) and non-waxy (‘Skagen’, ‘Suleva DS’) winter wheat cultivars grown under high and low-input farming systems over two cropping seasons by evaluating their yield and grain quality, including flour, dough, and starch physicochemical properties. The yield of waxy cv. ‘Sarta’ was significantly lower compared to the non-waxy cultivars across all trials; however, waxy cv. ‘Eldija’ had a similar yield as non-waxy cultivars (except under high-input conditions cv. ‘Skagen’). Moreover, no significant differences were observed between protein and gluten content of waxy and non-waxy cultivars. Low amylose content typical for waxy wheat cultivars highly correlated (r ≥ 0.8) with lower falling number, flour yield and sedimentation values, lower nitrogen % used for grain, higher flour water absorption and flour particle size index. In general, properties dependent on starch structure demonstrated consistent and significant differences between both starch types. The prevailing heat waves during the grain filling period decreased grain test weight but increased protein and gluten content and caused gluten to be weaker. Dough development time at these conditions became longer, dough softening lowered and starch content decreased, but A-starch, starch peak and final viscosity values increased. Low-input farming had a negative effect on grain yield, grain nitrogen uptake and grain test weight but increased phosphorus content in grain. The unique dough mixing properties of waxy cultivar ‘Eldija’ suggest that it could be used in mixtures along with non-waxy wheat for dough quality improvement.

Background: Bioactive compounds need to resist food processing, be released from the food matrix, and be bioaccessible in the gastrointestinal tract in order to provide health benefits. Bioactive compounds isolated from peach pomace (PP) were encapsulated using four different wall materials to improve their stability and to evaluate the effects of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, as well as chemometric modeling among obtained encapsulates. Methods: Phenolics and carotenoids content, antioxidant, antihyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, and cell growth activities were evaluated after gastric and intestinal digestion steps. Chemometrics classification analysis–principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis revealed grouping among encapsulates. Results: The encapsulation of PP bioactive compounds showed a protective effect against pH changes and enzymatic activities along digestion, and thereby contributed to an increase in their bioaccessibility in gastric and intestinal fluids. Conclusions: The obtained results suggest protein and polysaccharide carriers and the freeze-drying technique, as an efficient method for the encapsulation of bioactives from PP, could find use in the food and pharmaceutical industry.

Authors: Cheng Xuanda , Chen Xin
Published: March 2022

Taking the closed modification of an open sump of a water treatment pump station as the research background, the hydraulic design criteria for the closed modification of the sump are put forward by combining numerical simulation, model test. Based on CFD technology, a water pumping station including closed sump, bellmouth, impeller, guide vane, elbow and outlet sump is simulated, and the hydraulic performance of the schemes under different parameters is analyzed and compared. The top floor clearance, width, back wall distance, and floor clearance of the sump are optimized hydraulically, and the hydraulic design criteria of the closed sump are obtained. The results show that when the recommended optimization parameters of the closed sump in this study are that the top floor height HD is 0.9 DL, the width B is 3.0 DL, the back wall distance T is from 0.4 DL, and the floor clearance C is 0.75 DL, the internal flow pattern and hydraulic of the closed sump is better. (DL is the diameter of bellmouth of water pumping station). The model test was set up to compare the hydraulic performance of the pumping station between CFD and the test. The results showed that the CFD data is in good agreement with the experimental data.
Disinformation at a Local Level: An Emerging Discussion
Authors: Jerónimo Pedro , Esparza Marta Sanchez
Published: March 2022

Fake news and disinformation are not a new phenomenon. However, in recent years, they have acquired great prominence on the public agenda, conditioning electoral results and generating episodes of political destabilization. Academic interest runs in parallel with the consideration of disinformation as a growing priority for governments and international organizations, due to its geostrategic relevance and its importance for national sovereignty and security. The interference of countries such as Russia or China in other nations’ electoral processes, using new tools and methods to manipulate public opinion and proliferate cyberattacks have led to the creation of agencies or regulations aimed at curbing disinformation in some states. The UN, the EU and other countries’ governments have tried to develop strategies to respond to this growing threat. The pandemic has accelerated the decline of local media, which leaves communities in a state of serious vulnerability. Reliable resources and sources around local information are scarce assets, information is increasingly consumed through social media, and in them disinformation easily proliferates. With this proposal, we intend to start a discussion around disinformation at a local level, something that has been absent in disinformation studies.

First-generation vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 do not provide adequate immune protection. Therefore, we engineered a divalent gene construct combining the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein and the immunodominant region of the viral nucleocapsid. This fusion protein was produced in either E. coli or a recombinant baculovirus system. Subsequently, the fusion protein was mixed with adjuvant and administered to mice in a prime-booster mode. Mice (72%) produced an IgG response against both proteins (titer: 10−4–10−5) 14 days after the first booster injection, which was increased to 100% by a second booster. Comparable IgG responses were detected against the delta, gamma and omicron variants of the RBD region. Durability testing revealed IgGs beyond 90 days. In addition, cytolytic effector cell molecules were increased in lymphocytes isolated from peripheral blood. Ex vivo stimulation of T cells by nucleocapsid and RBD peptides showed antigen-specific upregulation of CD44 among the CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of vaccinated mice. No side effect was documented in the central nervous system. Cumulatively, these data represent a proof-of-principle approach alternative to existing mRNA vaccination strategies.

Problems of state support for innovative projects (on the example of RUSNANO and FRP)
Authors: Shmagirev A. ..
Published: March 2022

The reform of development institutions that is taking place in Russia makes it possible to improve their work, including in terms of expanding the tools of the mechanism of state financing of innovative projects. Today, in Russia, financing of innovative projects in the form of providing funds is mainly carried out by two development institutes - JSC «RUSNANO» and the federal state institution «Industrial Development Fund» (FRP). The first is in the form of contributions to the authorized capital, the second is in the form of loans. The conditions for providing funds can be considered as a compromise between two approaches-a bet on the free market and a focus on state intervention. On the one hand, there is an investment of public funds, on the other hand, the state is guided by the requirements of commercial efficiency, which reduces the effectiveness of state support for innovations.

Development of a diversification strategy for the defense industry organization based on the integration of rational and alternative models of the strategic process
Authors: Nikiforova L. . , Tsurikov S. .
Published: March 2022

The transfer of innovations of the Military-Industrial Complex to the civilian sphere is a mechanism that should "launch" the innovation process network model. The article analyzes the specifics of strategic management of defense industry organizations that are focused on the command and administrative management model that ensures the fulfillment of the state defense order (GOZ), and it is established that for successful work in civilian markets, it is necessary to apply a market management model. The problem of integration of these models in time and space is considered in the context of the corporate innovation system (CIS). The proposed conceptual model for the development of diversification strategy for the Military-Industrial Complex organization is based on the results of the analysis of scientific and technical potential and the assessment of the innovative potential of the CIS. At the same time, the ability of the Military-Industrial Complex organization to generate value not only for the subjects of the national innovation system to solve the tasks of ensuring the competitiveness of the state in the world markets in the field of high technologies, but also for other subjects of civil industries due to the diffusion of innovations and their adaptation to the needs of market segments is evaluated. At the same time, the specialization of the organization and the possibility of producing technologically related civilian products are taken into account, since the distribution systems are fundamentally different. Assessment of innovation potential requires analysis of the following subsystems: product (scientific and technical level of products), resource; organizational (compliance of the organizational structure with innovative goals); management, knowledge management subsystem. The implementation of the proposed conceptual model allows to obtain various types of synergetic effects.

La información relacionada con la morfología interna de los insectos plaga durante su desarrollo postembrinario es importante para mejorar los mecanismos de control y los estudios comparativos entre especies. Considerando la importancia de Phyllocnistis citrella como plaga del cultivo de los cítricos y la necesidad de conocer aspectos sobre el desarrollo y la reproducción de esta especie de importancia económica, el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los cambios tisulares de órganos y sistemas durante la metamorfosis. Las muestras se fijaron en Boüin y conservaron en alcohol n-butílico. Se coloreó con Hematoxilina (Erlich)-Eosina (H-E). Los resultados obtenidos evidencian en la prepupa la presencia de la glándula de Verson, con características citológicas que sugieren activa síntesis proteica relacionada con los procesos de muda. A nivel del sistema nervioso se produce la completa fusión de los ganglios cerebrales y el inicio de la diferenciación de las regiones del cerebro. En el estadio de pupa se destaca la activa formación y diferenciación de los principales centros sensoriales como los lóbulos ópticos y antenales. En el intestino medio se observan procesos de destrucción celular o apoptosis a lo largo del epitelio, indicando histólisis del epitelio larval e histogénesis a partir de las células regenerativas. La presencia de células fagocitarias en la región distal de la glándula sericígena indicaría lisis celular relacionada con las fases de regresión y degenerativa. Los testículos unifoliculares sufren procesos de migración y fusión. Los ovarios con ovariolas de tipo meroísticas politroficas presentan folículos ováricos constituidos por cuatro células nutricias y un ovocito. Los procesos de morfogénesis descriptos durante la metamorfosis de P. citrella aportan datos sobre aspectos del desarrollo que serán de importancia para el mejor conocimiento de la biología de la especie.

Published: March 2022

El término ’’secado” expresa la eliminación por evaporación dei líquido contenido en un sólido; el calor necesario para la evaporación puede ser suministrado por convección desde un gas caliente, conducción a través de una superficie, o por radiación. Cuando un sólido se seca ocurren simultáneamente dos procesos fundamentales: 1º) se transfiere calor para evaporar el líquido, y 2º) se transfiere materia como líquido o como vapor dentro del sólido, y como vapor desde la superficie. Los factores que gobiernan la velocidad de estos procesos determinan la velocidad de secado. La presente investigación tiene por objeto estudiar diversos aspectos del llamado ”período de velocidad de secado constante’’ en este período, el secado ocurre por difusión de vapor desde la superficie saturada del material a través de una película de aire. El movimiento de humedad dentro del sólido es suficientemente rápido como para mantener la condición de saturación en la superficie, y la velocidad de secado es controlada por la velocidad de transferencia de calor a la superficie de evaporación. La velocidad de transferencia de masa balancea a la de calor, y la temperatura de la superficie saturada permanece constante.
THE PLACE OF THE FAMILY IN THE VALUE SYSTEM OF MODERN URBAN YOUTH
Authors: Mukhametdinova A.R. , Polischuk M.A.
Published: March 2022

This article attempts to identify the place of the family in the rating of values of young citizens living in Izhevsk, as well as the socio-demographic characteristics of this group that can influence the construction of this rating. According to a number of researchers, in the modern world there is a "global disintegration" of the traditional system of division of social labor, power relations between men and women, which inevitably leads to the transformation of family relations. The attitude of modern youth towards the institution of the family is formed under the influence of certain factors, such as: recognition of the family in society, the relationship of one's own parents in the family, the individual characteristics of a person, gender, etc. There is a need to study each factor that affects the position of the family in the system of value orientations of young people, which will make it possible to understand the general picture of the ways in which the value orientations of young people are formed. And, therefore, it is necessary to study this aspect of sociology in order to rid society of the existing prejudices and stereotypes associated with the behavioral patterns of men and women. The views on the priorities of society have been changed. Over time, the family ceases to play a dominant role in the life of modern youth. This leads to the problems of frequent divorces, the emergence of negative ideas about family formation, a change in ethical and moral standards. It was important for researchers to find out the reason for the change in the value orientations of modern youth in relation to the family in order to identify the specifics of the worldview of the younger generation, which determines the foundations of family relations. In particular, in the studies conducted in 2021, it was supposed to reveal the conditions for the formation of the family value among today's youth. The results obtained can be useful for specialists working with families, working with youth, and can also help improve the culture of serving representatives of different socio-demographic groups and more thorough planning of their professional activities.

BACKGROUND The latest identied variant of concern of the SARS COV2 designated as Omicron by World Health Organization (WHO). This
variant shows increased infectivity as compared to other variants of concern till now due to many mutations seen in this affecting the spike protein
as well. These mutations have not been observed in any other strains. OBJECTIVE To study the clinical prole of the disease in cases infected
with the Omicron variant of SARS COV2 MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of the international travellers that were
tested positive for covid-19 with genome sequencing study conrming Omicron variant admitted to the indoor facility at Seven Hills Hospital, a
dedicated COVID hospital, Mumbai during the period of 30/11/2021 to 05/01/2022. Clinical observations along with laboratory and radiological
investigations were observed and analysed. RESULT Out of the total study population of 119 inpatients, a total of 67% patients presented with no
symptoms at all. The most common symptoms observed among the symptomatic patients were cough, sore throat and fever. Inammatory markers
had higher mean in symptomatic cases as compared to the asymptomatic cases. In this study, 11 patients were of less than 18 years of age, of which
only one was symptomatic and presented with similar symptoms as seen in adults. DISCUSSION All patients had fully recovered from the
infection and were discharged with a negative RTPCR test for SARS COV2 without the need for oxygen supplementation in any of the cases. There
is still scope of rapid emergence of Omicron cases resulting in 3rd wave which maybe of shorter duration due to faster recovery and previously
acquired immunity secondary to infection and the vaccine. Despite the reduced severity of this variant, we must continue to follow all the
precautionary measures.

Non-Parametric Bayesian Subspace Models for Acoustic Unit Discovery
Authors: Ondel Lucas
Published: March 2022

This work investigates subspace non-parametric models for the task of learning a set of acoustic units from unlabeled speech recordings. We constrain the base-measure of a Dirichlet-Process mixture with a phonetic subspace---estimated from other source languages---to build an \emph{educated prior}, thereby forcing the learned acoustic units to resemble phones of known source languages. Two types of models are proposed: (i) the Subspace HMM (SHMM) which assumes that the phonetic subspace is the same for every language, (ii) the Hierarchical-Subspace HMM (H-SHMM) which relaxes this assumption and allows to have a language-specific subspace estimated on the unlabeled target data. These models are applied on 3 languages: English, Yoruba and Mboshi and they are compared with various competitive acoustic units discovery baselines. Experimental results show that both subspace models outperform other systems in terms of clustering quality and segmentation accuracy. Moreover, we observe that the H-SHMM provides results superior to the SHMM supporting the idea that language-specific priors are preferable to language-agnostic priors for acoustic unit discovery.
Entropy analysis and improvement of the one-dimensional cell-centered Lagrangian scheme
Authors: Liu Li , Cheng Jun-bo , Li Zhongze
Published: March 2022

It is physically admissible that the numerical solutions of gas dynamics equations are consistent with the second law of thermodynamics, but the other cellcentered Lagrangian (CL) schemes except the hybridized CL scheme introduced by
Maire et al. do not satisfy this consistency. For one-dimensional gas dynamics equations, this hybridized CL scheme combines the acoustic approximate (AA) flux and the
entropy conservative (EC) flux. By distinguishing expanded zones and compressed
zones, the hybridized CL scheme basically satisfies the entropy consistency, but in the
part zones of rarefaction waves, the hybridized CL scheme is under-entropic and the
EC flux may result in the numerical oscillations in simulating strong rarefaction waves.
In this paper, we try to design a new hybridized CL scheme satisfying entropy consistency for one-dimensional complex flows. This new hybridized CL scheme is the combination of the AA flux and the modified entropy conservative (MEC) flux. Just like the
EC flux, the MEC flux keeps the entropy conservative in simulating rarefaction waves;
while differently, the MEC flux damps effectively numerical oscillations in zones of
rarefaction waves. And we find that, by using the third-order TVD-type Runge-Kutta
time discretization method, the CL scheme with the improved hybridized flux can
completely satisfy entropy consistency. Finally, some numerical examples are tested to
prove the characters of our new CL scheme with the improved hybridized flux.

When N-sorter/N-filters designed with this system are constructed using a design logic block in the FPGA central to the Amazon AWS EC2 F1 instance, they were shown to be significantly faster than the prior state-of-the-art sorting devices, which are networks of 2-sorters and 2-filters. Here we show that N-sorter/N-filters are even faster when they are implemented using carry chain design logic blocks, featuring lookahead acceleration and dedicated routing, also found in the same FPGA product. A new 32-bit carry chain 7-sorter operates in 1.469 nS, a speedup of 1.23 versus our original state-of-the-art 7-sorter. Faster and larger N-sorters and much larger N-max/N-min filters are constructed when product term splitting and a new Sum-of-Products output multiplexer equation are added to the general design system, and then combined with carry chain logic. While we were previously limited to sorting 10 or fewer input values, we now fully sort 16 32-bit values in 2.024 nS, a speedup of 4.61 versus a comparable 2-sorter network. Our largest prior max pooling 32-bit N-max filter was a 9-max 3x3 2D image filter, but we have now produced a 125-max 5x5x5 3D video filter that operates in 2.075 nS, a speedup of 3.43 versus a 2-max network. Using 32-max single-stage filters, a 32-bit 1024-max 2-stage network operates in 3.557 nS, less than a 280 MHz clock’s period, and with a 2.85 speedup versus the equivalent 10-stage 2-max network.

With the rise of mobile terminals and the maturity of positioning technology, the amount of available spatiotemporal data continues to grow rapidly, so it is crucial to be able to process it efficiently. This paper proposes a multi-level indexing technique based on context dimension awareness. It first selects the partition order by the unit scale of each context dimension in the dataset. Second, it consider the distribution of each context dimension in the dataset, choose an appropriate partitioning method, and divide the dataset into multiple balanced splits. We test the method on real-world datasets, and experiments show that the speed of query execution increased and resource-use efficiency improved by our approach.
Time-modulated Patch Antennas with Tunable and Nonreciprocal Polarization Ellipticity

In this paper, we propose and demonstrate time-modulated
patch antennas able to exhibit opposite polarization ellipticity when operated
in transmission or reception, effectively leading to nonreciprocal polarization
responses. To this purpose, we merge a patch antenna fed from four symmetrical
sides with a low-frequency time-modulation scheme. This configuration exploits
the photonic Aharonov Bohm effect to individually manipulate the phase of
surface currents flowing along orthogonal directions on the antenna with the
phase of the modulation signals. Experimental results at 2.2 GHz demonstrate
high conversion efficiency in the time-modulation process (loss

3 dB), isolation
levels over 40 dB in transmission/reception mode, and tunability to generate/receive
electromagnetic waves with arbitrary polarization ellipticity. Our findings may
enable exciting applications in full-duplex communications as well as in
polarimetric radar, sensing and imaging systems.

Published: March 2022

Compared with QR code payment technology, NFC near-field payment has more advantages of safety and easy using than before; however, QR code payment technology had become the mainstream payment method in China mobile payment market. In this regard, the traditional technological determinism is difficult to fully explain the phenomenon. But, the social shaping theory (SST) could provide a new thinking to expound the historical queries. Based on the research perspective of SST, this paper takes Alipay's QR code payment technology as a case study, analyzed the impact of various social factors on the diffusion of QR code payment technology and explored the strategy of technology commercialization.

The SARS CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus comes under the family of coronaviruses because the proteins on the outside of the virus look like a crown. Coronavirus is not new to human beings its primary source was a bat and possesses zoonotic transmission and later on it comes to humans. COVID-19 disease was characterized by symptoms that were very similar to those of SARS or severe acute respiratory syndrome which nearly cause a pandemic in 2002. After carrying the research the genetic feature of the COVID-19 expert with the International Committee of Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) and WHO together officially named the virus as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS-Cov-2. Other types of coronaviruses include SARS-CoV, which causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and MERS-CoV which causes Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). Both SARS CoV and SARS CoV-2 target the same point ACE-2 receptors (found abundantly in the nose, pharynx, lungs, intestine, blood vessels, and kidney) for entry into the cells. All Coronaviruses attacked the respiratory system through droplet infection. No drug treatment is available yet to combat this condition but the main weapon to cure or to save an individual from this infection is good and strong immunity which is a natural safeguarding complex mechanism of our body and it differs from individuals to individuals. The potency of immunity also changes with age as young individuals posse’s better immunity than small children and old age people. The immune system allows our body to check what is self and what nonself is and then have the capability to reject the nonself. The complex system of immunity consists of different types of cells and organs which act as custodians in our body. The proper understanding of the pathogenesis of the SARS CoV-2 will help us to find out vaccination along with its proper treatment. In this paper, we will try to understand the pathogenesis, clinical features, researches, and clinical studies on SARS CoV-2 and to find out the role of an alternative system of medicine in controlling, curing and preventing the infection.
